Where can I find interesting derivations and ideas from the Palatini Formalism like the Holst action?

Yes, but I was specially interested in a good textbpok
 
Well, you would have gotten better responses by saying:

I have looked at various online sources on ... , (such as ...) but would appreciate a good textbook treatment.

If I were not in a good mood when I saw your post, I might have just reported it for 'no attempt to answer on own'.
 
My fault.

Sorry and thank you.
 

Thread 'Euclidean geometry and gravity'

I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...

Thread 'Jackson: justification of the Poynting vector by GR'

The Poynting vector is a definition, that is supposed to represent the energy flow at each point. Unfortunately, the only observable effect caused by the Poynting vector is through the energy variation in a volume subject to an energy flux through its surface, that is, the Poynting theorem. As a curl could be added to the Poynting vector without changing the Poynting theorem, it can not be decided by EM only that this should be the actual flow of energy at each point. Feynman, commenting...
