We analyze three classical field theories based on the wave equation: scalar field, electrodynamics and linearized gravity. We derive certain generating formula on a hyperboloid and on a null surface for them. The linearized Einstein…
We define the asymptotic flatness and discuss asymptotic symmetry at null infinity in arbitrary dimensions using the Bondi coordinates. To define the asymptotic flatness, we solve the Einstein equations and look at the asymptotic behavior…
The supertranslation ambiguity of angular momentum is a long-standing problem in general relativity, which arises the puzzle of the angular momentum loss in the post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion. The angular momentum loss in gravitational…
When a system emits gravitational radiation, the Bondi mass decreases. If the Bondi energy is Hamiltonian, it can thus only be a time dependent Hamiltonian. In this paper, we show that the Bondi energy can be understood as a time-dependent…
The ``standard'' expressions for total energy, linear momentum and also angular momentum of asymptotically flat Bondi metrics at null infinity are also obtained from differential conservation laws on asymptotically flat backgrounds, derived…
How does one measure the angular momentum carried away by gravitational radiation during the merger of a binary black hole? This has been a subtle issue since the 1960's due to the discovery of ``supertranslation ambiguity": the angular…
The law of balance of angular momentum is shown to imply the existence of absolute time, a fundamental physical quantity that is independent of the motion or position of the observer. Absolute time implies the notion of absolute…
We consider smooth null cones in a vacuum spacetime that extend to future null infinity. For such cones that are perturbations of shear-free outgoing null cones in Schwarzschild spacetimes, we prove bounds for the Bondi energy, momentum,…

The gravitational energy-momentum and angular momentum satisfy the algebra of the Poincare group in the full phase space of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. The expression for the gravitational energy-momentum may be…
We compute the motions of null infinity to which the components of the angular momentum of the gravitational field, as defined by Penrose, are conjugate. We find that the boosts are supplemented by anomalous translations. If $c_{ab}$ is the…
An idealized observer of an astronomical event is situated at future null infinity, where light rays emitted from the source approach. Mathematically, null infinity corresponds to the portion of the spacetime boundary defined by equivalence…
In Randall-Sundrum models, by the use of general Noether theorem, the covariant angular momentum conservation law is obtained with the respect to the local Lorentz transformations. The angular momentum current has also superpotential and is…
In this paper we discuss the properties of the general covariant angular momentum of a five-dimensional brane-world model. Through calculating the total angular momentum of this model, we are able to analyze the properties of the total…
We present a definition of angular momentum for radiative spacetimes which does not suffer from any ambiguity of supertranslations. We succeed in providing an appropriate notion of {\it intrinsic} angular momentum; and at the same time a…
In this letter, we review the well known ambiguity in defining angular momentum (and mass dipole) fluxes in general relativity and we reinterpret recent works that resolve the ambiguity by defining invariant charges. We resolve the…
Although the super-energy Bel-Robinson tensor gives a desirable gravitational energy-momentum in a small sphere region, the angular-momentum is vanishing. Intuitively, it should be non-zero. Our present work shows that indeed the angular…
We describe and solve three puzzles arising in covariant and supertranslation-invariant formulas for the flux of angular momentum and other Lorentz charges in asymptotically flat spacetimes: 1) Supertranslation-invariance and covariance…
In a companion paper we introduced the notion of asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. These space-times are asymptotically flat at both null and spatial infinity, and furthermore there is a harmonious matching of limits of certain fields as…
The energy-momentum and angular momentum contained in a spacelike two-surface of spherical topology are estimated by joining the two-surface to null infinity via an approximate no-incoming-radiation condition. The result is a set of…
