Electric and Magnetic Aspects of Gravitational Theories
by Francois Dehouck
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 240
Description:
This thesis deals with the construction of conserved charges for asymptotically flat spacetimes at spatial infinity in four spacetime dimensions in a hopefully pedagogical way. As a first motivation of this work, it highlights the difficulties one encounters when trying to understand the gravitational duality, present at the linearized level, in the full non-linear Einstein's theory or even just in an asymptotic regime of it.
