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 کاملQuasilocal mass from a mathematical perspective
Quasilocal mass in general relativity is a notion defined for a closed spacelike 2-surface in spacetime. In this note, we explain the definition in [23] and [24] from a mathematical viewpoint, emphasizing the connection to differential geometry and nonlinear partial differential equations. We also discuss a minimax interpretation of the definition and compare with other notions of quasilocal ma...
متن کاملQuasilocal mass and surface Hamiltonian in spacetime
We discuss the concepts of energy and mass in relativity. On a finitely extended spatial region, they lead to the notion of quasilocal energy/mass for the boundary 2-surface in spacetime. A new definition was found in that satisfies the positivity, rigidity, and asymptotics properties. The definition makes use of the surface Hamiltonian term which arises from Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of the gra...
متن کاملPositivity of Quasi-local Mass Ii
A spacetime is a four-manifold with a pseudo-metric of signature (+,+,+,−). A hypersurface or a 2-surface in a spacetime is spacelike if the induced metric is positive definite. A quasi-local energy-momentum vector is a vector in R associated to a spacelike 2-surface which depends on its first and second fundamental forms and the connection to its normal bundle in the spacetime. The time compon...
