Mass and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
by J.L. Jaramillo, E. Gourgoulhon - arXiv
We present an introduction to mass and angular momentum in General Relativity. After briefly reviewing energy-momentum for matter fields, first in the flat Minkowski case (Special Relativity) and then in curved spacetimes with or without symmetries.
