Quasi-localisation of Bondi-Sachs energy loss
Abstract. A formula is given for the variation of the Hawking energy along any oneparameter foliation of compact spatial 2-surfaces. A surface for which one null expansion is positive and the other negative has a preferred orientation, with a spatial or null normal direction being called outgoing or ingoing as the area increases or decreases respectively. A natural way to propagate such a surfa...
متن کاملPhoton rockets and gravitational radiation
The absence of gravitational radiation in Kinnersley’s “photon rocket” solution of Einstein’s equations is clarified by studying the mathematically well-defined problem of point-like photon rockets in Minkowski space (i.e. massive particles emitting null fluid anisotropically and accelerating because of the recoil). We explicitly compute the (uniquely defined) linearized retarded gravitational ...
متن کاملPhoton rockets and the Robinson-Trautman geometries
We point out the relation between the photon rocket spacetimes and the Robinson Trautman geometries. This allows a discussion of the issues related to the distinction between the gravitational and matter energy radiation that appear in these metrics in a more geometrical way, taking full advantage of their asymptotic properties at null infinity to separate the Weyl and Ricci radiations, and to ...
متن کاملCanonical Realization of (2+1)-dimensional Bondi-Metzner-Sachs symmetry
We construct canonical realizations of the bms3 algebra as symmetry algebras of a free KleinGordon (KG) field in 2 + 1 dimensions, for both the massive and massless case. We consider two types of realizations, one on-shell, written in terms of the Fourier modes of the scalar field, and the other one off-shell with non-local transformations written in terms of the KG field and its momenta. These...

We calculate the Hilbert action for the Bondi-Sachs metrics. It yields the Einstein vacuum equations in a closed form. Following the Dirac approach to constrained systems we investigate the related Hamiltonian formulation.
