Description

The 'fully charged' spin-2 field solution is presented. This is an analog of the Coulomb solution in electrodynamics and represents the 'non-waving' part of the spin-2 field theory. Basic facts and definitions of the spin-2 field and conformal Yano–Killing tensors are introduced. Application of those two objects provides a precise definition of quasi-local gravitational charge. Next, the 3 + 1 decomposition leads to the construction of the momentary gravitational charges on the initial surface, which is applicable for Schwarzschild-like spacetimes. (paper)
