Abstract:
We show how to calculate pseudotensor-based conserved quantities for isolated systems in general relativity, in a way which allows an arbitrary asymptotic behavior of the coordinate system used. Our method is a generalization of that given by Persides [1], and allows the asymptotic evaluation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum in any coordinate system. We carry out the calculation for the Schutz-Sorkin gravitational Noether operator, which is a pseudotensorial operator on vector fields that reduces to the familiar pseudotensors for particular choices of the fields.
