On a Quasi-local Mass
نویسنده
چکیده
We modify previous quasi-local mass definition. The new definition provides expressions of the quasi-local energy, the quasi-local linear momentum and the quasi-local mass. And they are equal to the ADM expressions at spatial infinity. Moreover, the new quasi-local energy has the positivity property.

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...

In general relativity, quasi-local energy-momentum expressions have been constructed from various formulae. However, Newtonian theory of gravity gives a well known and an unique quasi-local mass expression (surface integration). Since geometrical formulation of Newtonian gravity has been established in the covariant Newtonian space-time, it provides a covariant approximation from relativistic t...

The definition of quasi-local mass for a bounded space-like region Ω in space-time is essential in several major unsettled problems in general relativity. The quasi-local mass is expected to be a type of flux integral on the boundary two-surface Σ = ∂Ω and should be independent of whichever space-like region Σ bounds. An important idea which is related to the Hamiltonian formulation of general ...
