Some Estimates of Wang-yau Quasilocal Energy
Given a spacelike 2-surface Σ in a spacetime N and a constant future timelike unit vector T0 in R 3,1 , we derive upper and lower estimates of Wang-Yau quasilocal energy E(Σ, X, T0) for a given isometric embedding X of Σ into a flat 3-slice in R 3,1 . The quantity E(Σ, X, T0) itself depends on the choice of X , however the infimum of E(Σ, X, T0) over T0 does not. In particular, when Σ lies in a...
متن کاملQuasilocal 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 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...
متن کاملQuasilocal energy for a Kerr black hole.
The quasilocal energy associated with a constant stationary time slice of the Kerr spacetime is presented. The calculations are based on a recent proposal [1] in which quasilocal energy is derived from the Hamiltonian of spatially bounded gravitational systems. Three different classes of boundary surfaces for the Kerr slice are considered (constant radius surfaces, round spheres, and the ergosu...
