Another positivity proof and gravitational energy localizations

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-11-01 v1

Abstract

Two locally positive expressions for the gravitational Hamiltonian, one using 4-spinors the other special orthonormal frames, are reviewed. A new quadratic 3-spinor-curvature identity is used to obtain another positive expression for the Hamiltonian and thereby a localization of gravitational energy and positive energy proof. These new results provide a link between the other two methods. Localization and prospects for quasi-localization are discussed.
