Often it is asserted that only by using of the symmetric Landau-Lifschitz energy-momentum complex one is able to formulate a conserved angular momentum complex in General Relativity ({\bf GR}). Obviously, it is an uncorrect statement. For…
Angular momentum has recently been defined as a surface integral involving an axial vector and a twist 1-form, which measures the twisting around of space-time due to a rotating mass. The axial vector is chosen to be a transverse,…
