Intrinsic angular momentum in general relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
There are several definitions of the notion of angular momentum in general relativity. However none of them can be said to capture the physical notion of intrinsic angular momentum of the sources in the presence of gravitational radiation. We present a definition which is appropriate for the description of intrinsic angular momentum in radiative spacetimes. This notion is required in calculations involving radiation of angular momentum, as for example is expected in binary coalescence of black holes. PACS numbers: 04.20.-q, 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Ha

Energy-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 کاملLunar Laser Ranging, Gravitomagnetism and Frame-Dragging
During the past century Einstein’s theory of General Relativity gave rise to an experimental triumph, however, there are still aspects of this theory to be measured or more accurately tested. One of the main challenges in experimental gravitation, together with the direct detection of gravitational waves, is today the accurate measurement of the gravitomagnetic field generated by the angular mo...
متن کاملQuasi-Local Energy-Momentum and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
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...
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.

In a geometric approach to special relativity it is found that the spin four-tensor S can be decomposed into two 4-vectors, the usual “space-space” intrinsic angular momentum S and a new one, the “time-space” intrinsic angular momentum Z, which are both equally well physical quantities. It is also shown that an electric dipole moment (EDM) of a fundamental particle, as a four-dimensional geomet...
