Abstract
It is shown how the energy-positivity criterion enables us to localize the energy in various field theories. For this purpose the role of surface integrals in a canonical formalism is investigated. The same techniques are applied to linearized gravity, where the mixed Cauchy-boundary value problem in a finite volume is analyzed. Unconstrained degrees of freedom and boundary data which have to be controlled are found. This paper is part of a program to analyze the possibility of localization of gravitational energy in complete General Relativity.
