Gauge-invariant magnetic charges in linearised gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-09-13 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Linearised gravity has magnetic charges carried by (linearised) Kaluza-Klein monopoles. A gauge-invariant expression is found for these charges that is similar to Penrose's gauge-invariant expression for the ADM charges. A systematic search is made for other gauge-invariant charges.
