New gravitational energy measure $\Q$ found in higher dimensions.
The holographic description in the presence of gravitational Chern-Simons term is studied. The modified gravitational equations are integrated by using the Fefferman-Graham expansion and the holographic stress-energy tensor is identified. The stress-energy tensor has both conformal anomaly and gravitational or, if re-f…
A geometric construction for obtaining a prolongation of a connection to a connection of a bundle of connections is presented. This determines a natural extension of the notion of canonical energy-tensor which suits gauge and gravitational fields, and shares the main properties of the energy-tensor of a matter field in…
We give a derivation of the Einstein equation for gravity which employs a definition of the local energy density of the gravitational field as a symmetric second rank tensor whose value for each observer gives the trace of the spatial part of the energy-stress tensor as seen by that observer. We give a physical motivat…

Study of quasilocal energy in higher dimensions, focusing on small sphere limits.
When a spacetime takes Bondi radiating metric, and is vacuum and asymptotically flat at spatial infinity which ensures the positive mass theorem, we prove that the standard ADM energy-momentum is the past limit of the Bondi energy-momentum. We also derive a formula relating the ADM energy-momentum of any asymptotically…
We discuss our recent work [4] in which gravitational radiation was studied by evaluating the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass of surfaces of fixed size at the infinity of both axial and polar perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime, à la Chandrasekhar [1].
Extends Penrose's method to null shells with pressure and energy flux.
New magnetic memory effects found in gravitational waves and memory.
Gravitational waves are predicted by the general theory of relativity. In [6] D. Christodoulou showed that gravitational waves have a nonlinear memory. We proved in [3] that the electromagnetic field contributes at highest order to the nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves. In the present paper, we study this …
The holographic duality can be extended to include quantum theories with broken coordinate invariance leading to the appearance of the gravitational anomalies. On the gravity side one adds the gravitational Chern-Simons term to the bulk action which gauge invariance is only up to the boundary terms. We analyze in detai…
New method uses equivariant volume for gravitational extremization in holography.
We derive necessary conditions for the spinorial Witten-Nester energy to be well-defined for asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. We find that the conformal boundary should admit a spinor satisfying certain differential conditions and in odd dimensions the boundary metric should be conformally Einstein. We show that …
In a vacuum spacetime equipped with the Bondi's radiating metric which is asymptotically flat at spatial infinity including gravitational radiation ({\bf Condition D}), we establish the relation between the ADM total energy-momentum and the Bondi energy-momentum for perturbed radiative spatial infinity. The perturbatio…

In a vacuum spacetime equips with the Bondi's radiating metric which is asymptotically flat at spatial infinity including gravitational radiation ({\bf Condition D}), we establish the relation between the ADM total linear momentum and the Bondi momentum. The relation between the ADM total energy and the Bondi mass in t…
Proposes a new quasi-local mass for timelike 2-surfaces in spacetimes.
In a previous paper on coupled gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations of Reissner-Nordström spacetime in a polarized setting, we derived a system of wave equations for two independent quantities, one related to the Weyl curvature and one related to the Ricci curvature of the perturbed spacetime. We analyze her…
We study the Bondi-Sachs rockets with nonzero cosmological constant. We observe that the acceleration of the systems arises naturally in the asymptotic symmetries of (anti-) de Sitter spacetimes. Assuming the validity of the concepts of energy and mass previously introduced in asymptotically flat spacetimes, we find th…
Study collapsing geometry of hyperkähler 4-manifolds and prove conjectures.
We investigate Yang--Mills instanton theory over four dimensional asymptotically locally flat (ALF) geometries, including gravitational instantons of this type, by exploiting the existence of a natural smooth compactification of these spaces introduced by Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo. First referring to the codimension 2 …
We prove that for spacetimes solving the Einstein-Maxwell (EM) equations, the electromagnetic field contributes at highest order to the nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves. In [5] D. Christodoulou showed that gravitational waves have a nonlinear memory. He discussed how this effect can be measured as a perma…

The Bakry-Emery generalized Ricci tensor arises in scalar-tensor gravitation theories in the conformal gauge known as the Jordan frame. Recent results from the mathematics literature show that standard singularity and splitting theorems that hold when an energy condition is applied in general relativity also hold when …
It is formulated a new 'anholonomic frame' method of constructing exact solutions of Einstein equations with off--diagonal metrics in 4D and 5D gravity. The previous approaches and results are summarized and generalized as three theorems which state the conditions when two types of ansatz result in integrable gravitati…

Weyl's 1918 geometry proposal revisited in modern physics.
This article considers the quasi-local conserved quantities with respect to a reference spacetime with a cosmological constant. We follow the approach developed by the authors in [25,26,7] and define the quasi-local energy as differences of surface Hamiltonians. The ground state for the gravitational energy is taken to…

Study of Bondi-Sachs formalism for massless scalar field with zero cosmological constant.
A purely algebraic construction of super-energy tensors for arbitrary fields is presented in any dimensions. These tensors have good mathematical and physical properties, and they can be used in any theory having as basic arena an n-dimensional manifold with a metric of Lorentzian signature. In general, the completely …
We investigate the analogy between the large N expansion in normal matrix models and the asymptotic expansion of the determinant of the Hilb map, appearing in the study of critical metrics on complex manifolds via projective embeddings. This analogy helps to understand the geometric meaning of the expansion of matrix m…
We discuss the concepts of energy and mass in relativity. On a finitely extended spatial region, they lead to the notion of quasilocal energy/mass for the boundary 2-surface in spacetime. A new definition was found in [27] that satisfies the positivity, rigidity, and asymptotics properties. The definition makes use of …
