Angular and Linear Momentum in General Relativity: Their Geometric Structure and Interrelation
Generalized definitions for angular and linear momentum are given and shown to reduce to the ADM (at spatial infinity) definitions and the definitions at null infinity in the appropriate limit. These definitions are used to express angular momentum in terms of linear momentum. The formalism allows one to see the connection with the classical and special relativitistic notions of momenta. Furthe...
متن کاملAsymptotic Symmetries in General Relativity
The symmetries of flat Minkowski space-time are well known to be described by the Poincare group, and include translations and rotations. On the other hand, the symmetries of an asymptotically flat space-time are described by the infinite-dimensional BondiMatzner-Sachs (BMS) group. This group includes new types of transformations called supertranslations and superrotations, whose physical inter...
متن کاملEnergy and Momentum in General Relativity
The energy and momentum for different cosmological models using various prescriptions are evaluated. In particular, we have focused our attention on the energy and momentum for gravitational waves and discuss the results. It is concluded that there are methods which can provide physically acceptable results.
متن کاملGeometric Analysis and General Relativity
Geometric analysis can be said to originate in the 19’th century work of Weierstrass, Riemann, Schwarz and others on minimal surfaces, a problem whose history can be traced at least as far back as the work of Meusnier and Lagrange in the 18’th century. The experiments performed by Plateau in the mid-19’th century, on soap films spanning wire contours, served as an important inspiration for this...
متن کاملQuasi-Local Energy-Momentum and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
The present status of the quasi-local mass, energy-momentum and angular-momentum constructions in general relativity is reviewed. First, the general ideas, concepts, and strategies, as well as the necessary tools to construct and analyze the quasi-local quantities, are recalled. Then, the various specific constructions and their properties (both successes and deficiencies are discussed. Finally...
