We present a detailed examination of the variational principle for metric general relativity as applied to a quasilocal spacetime region M (that is, a region that is both spatially and temporally bounded). Our analysis relies on the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity and thereby assumes a

Deimos may be largely uniform in density. We find here the gravitational field of Deimos and its moments of inertia from the moon's shape and an assumed uniform density distribution. From these data we compute the expected orientation. The orientation of the model Deimos relative to Mars agrees with
Let f be a positive definite function on a locally compact abelian group G. In [3] we showed that measurability of 1 on an open neighbourhood of the zero implies measurability of f on G. As a main tool we used a result about the support of f [3, Th. I]. The aim of this note is to simplify the proof
