Quasi-Local Energy-Momentum and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
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, some of the (actual and potential) applications of the quasi-local concepts and specific constructions are briefly mentioned.

متن کاملConserved Quantities in General Relativity: from the Quasi-local Level to Spatial Infinity
We define quasi-local conserved quantities in general relativity by using the optimal isometric embedding in [28] to transplant Killing fields in the Minkowski spacetime back to the 2-surface of interest in a physical spacetime. To each optimal isometric embedding, a dual element of the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group is assigned. Quasi-local angular momentum and quasi-local center of mass cor...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum and Angular Momentum Carried by Gravitational Waves in Extended New General Relativity
In an extended, new form of general relativity, which is a teleparallel theory of gravity, we examine the energy-momentum and angular momentum carried by gravitational wave radiated from Newtonian point masses in a weak-field approximation. The resulting wave form is identical to the corresponding wave form in general relativity, which is consistent with previous results in teleparallel theory....
متن کاملThe Energy-Momentum Problem in General Relativity
Energy-momentum is an important conserved quantity whose definition has been a focus of many investigations in general relativity. Unfortunately, there is still no generally accepted definition of energy and momentum in general relativity. Attempts aimed at finding a quantity for describing distribution of energy-momentum due to matter, non-gravitational and gravitational fields only resulted i...
متن کاملCovariant Energy - Momentum Conservation In General Relativity
A covariant formula for conserved currents of energy, momentum and angular-momentum is derived from a general form of Noether's theorem applied directly to the Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity. Energy conservation in a closed big-bang cosmology is discussed as a special case.
