Gravitational Energy-Momentum Expressions  

Komar Integral > s.a. non-commutative gravity.
$ Def: The conserved quantity associated with a Killing vector field ξa is

H = − (8πG)−1 \(\oint_S\)εabcdc ξd = (4πG)−1 \(\oint_S\)D[a ξb] dvab = (4πG)−1 \(\oint_S\)Db D[b ξa] dSa .

* Limitations: One sometimes gets a factor 2 wrong.

Nester's and Other Spinor Expressions
$ Def: The energy-momentum component associated with a constant spinor αA is

Ka Pa = (8πG)−1\(\oint_S\)ωab dSab ,

where Ka = αA α*A' is a null vector determined by αA, and ωab = i εabcd ψCd ψC', with ψA = αA + O(r−1), an asymptotically constant spinor; Different components of P are obtained using different Ks.

Other Expressions > s.a. ADM formalism; quasilocal energy; asymptotic flatness at spatial infinity.
* Results: If ηa:= eabb r, then [@ Ashtekar in(84)]:

= (16πG)−1\(\oint_S\) r [3R − (2π)2 + (2πab) (2πab)] d2v .
