The localisation of energy in general relativity

  • 1. Victoria Univ., British Columbia (Canada). Dept. of Physics

Description

The energy localisation in the case of spherical symmetry advanced previously is justified in reference to an exact interior solution which is a generalisation of the rho = constant Schwarzschild solution. This reveals the inadequacy of the Tolman expression for localisation which also fails to provide the correct total mass for a system which exhibits certain discontinuities. A generalised localisation expression for arbitrary static systems is proposed for further consideration. (author)
