Quasilocal energy conditions.
The classical value of the Hamiltonian for a system with timelike boundary has been interpreted as a quasilocal energy. This quasilocal energy is not positive definite. However, we derive a ‘quasilocal dominant energy condition’ which is the natural consequence of the local dominant energy condition. We discuss some implications of this quasilocal energy condition. In particular, we find that i...
متن کاملQuasilocal gravitational energy.
Abstract. A dynamically preferred quasi-local definition of gravitational energy is given in terms of the Hamiltonian of a ‘2+2’ formulation of general relativity. The energy is well-defined for any compact orientable spatial 2-surface, and depends on the fundamental forms only. The energy is zero for any surface in flat spacetime, and reduces to the Hawking mass in the absence of shear and twi...
متن کاملNew Variables, the Gravitational Action, and Boosted Quasilocal Stress-energy-momentum *
This paper presents a complete set of quasilocal densities which describe the stress-energy-momentum content of the gravitational field and which are built with Ashtekar variables. The densities are defined on a two-surface B which bounds a generic spacelike hypersurface Σ of spacetime. The method used to derive the set of quasilocal densities is a Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of a suitable covaria...
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 کاملQuasilocal Energy in FRW Cosmology
This paper presents a calculation of the quasilocal energy of a generic FRW model of the universe. The results have the correct behavior in the small-sphere limit and vanish for the empty Milne universe. Higher order corrections are found when comparing these results to classical calculations of cosmological energy. This case is different from others in the literature chiefly in that it involve...
