Quasilocal mass in general relativity.
There have been many attempts to define the notion of quasilocal mass for a spacelike two surface in spacetime by the Hamilton-Jacobi analysis. The essential difficulty in this approach is to identify the right choice of the background configuration to be subtracted from the physical Hamiltonian. Quasilocal mass should be non-negative for surfaces in general spacetime and zero for surfaces in f...
متن کاملRelativity in rotating frames
A common error, originally due to Ehrenfest, is corrected. Typeset using REVTEX 1 A recent book [1] with the same title as above contains 17 articles by various authors, following the English translation of a brief note by Paul Ehrenfest [2] who applied a Lorentz contraction to the rim of a rotating disk, whose radius was not contracted. This is plainly wrong: Lorentz contractions occur when we...
متن کامل8 A pr 2 00 8 Energy - momentum surface density and quasilocal mass in general relativity
We define new energy momentum surface density and quasilocal mass for the boundary surface of a spacelike region in spacetime. Iso-metric embeddings of such a surface into the Minkowski space are used as reference surfaces in the definition. When the reference surface lies in a flat three-dimensional space slice of the Minkowski space, our expression recovers the Brown-York and Liu-Yau quasiloc...
متن کاملPrediction in general relativity
Several authors have claimed that prediction is essentially impossible in the general theory of relativity, the case being particularly strong, it is said, when one fully considers the epistemic predicament of the observer. Each of these claims rests on the support of an underdetermination argument and a particular interpretation of the concept of prediction. I argue that these underdeterminati...
متن کاملGeneral-relativistic Visualization General Relativity
I n our previous article about special-relativistic visualization,1 we described what the travelers from our highly developed civilization observed when they passed the Earth; now, they set out for the Cygnus X-1 binary system, which is roughly 6,000 light years away. The Cygnus X-1 system consists of a super giant variable star (HDE 226868) and a very compact object—presumably a black hole—wit...
