Gravitational multi-NUT solitons, Komar masses and charges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generalising expressions given by Komar, we give precise definitions of gravitational mass and solitonic NUT charge and we apply these to the description of a class of Minkowski-signature multi-Taub–NUT solutions without rod singularities. A Wick rotation then yields the corresponding class of Euclidean-signature gravitational multi-instantons. email address: [email protected] email address: [email protected] email address: [email protected]

Gravitational charges of transverse asymptotically AdS spacetimes
Using Killing-Yano symmetries, we construct conserved charges of spacetimes that asymptotically approach to the flat or Anti-de Sitter spaces only in certain directions. In D dimensions, this allows one to define gravitational charges (such as mass and angular momenta densities) of p-dimensional branes/solitons or any other extended objects that curve the transverse space into an asymptotically...
متن کاملConserved Charges in Even Dimensional Asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter Space-times
Based on the recent paper hep-th/0503045, we derive a formula of calculating conserved charges in even dimensional asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter space-times by using the definition of Wald and Zoupas. This formula generalizes the one proposed by Ashtekar et al. Using the new formula we compute the masses of Taub-Bolt-AdS space-times by treating Taub-Nut-AdS space-times as the reference ...
متن کامل2 Higher - Dimensional Time - Dependent Taub - NUT Solitons
We discuss some aspects of higher-dimensional gravitational solitons and kinks, including in particular their stability. We illustrate our discussion with the examples of (non-BPS) higher-dimensional Taub-NUT solutions as the spatial metrics in (6 + 1) and (8 + 1) dimensions. We find them to be stable against small but non-infinitesimal disturbances, but unstable against large ones, which can l...

متن کاملGravitational brainwaves, quantum fluctuations and stochastic quantization
It is known that the biological activity of the brain involves radiation of electric waves. These waves result from ionic currents and charges traveling among the brain’s neurons. But it is obvious that these ions and charges are carried by their relevant masses which should give rise, according to the gravitational theory, to extremely weak gravitational waves. We use in the following the stoc...
