    The 3+1 decomposition of Conformal Yano-Killing tensors and "momentary" charges for spin-2 field

    Full text link
    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 initial surface which is applicable for Schwarzschild-like spacetimes.Comment: 17 page

    Conformal Yano-Killing tensors for space-times with cosmological constant

    Full text link
    We present a new method for constructing conformal Yano-Killing tensors in five-di\-men\-sio\-nal Anti-de Sitter space-time. The found tensors are represented in two different coordinate systems. We also discuss, in terms of CYK tensors, global charges which are well defined for asymptotically (five-dimensional) Anti-de Sitter space-time. Additionally in Appendix we present our own derivation of conformal Killing one-forms in four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space-time as an application of the Theorem presented in the paper.Comment: 27 page

    Simple description of generalized electromagnetic and gravitational hopfions

    Full text link
    The generalization of electromagnetic and gravitational hopfions is performed in terms of a complex scalar field. New definition of topological charge for linearized gravity is given. Quasi-local (super-)energy densities are compared for gravitational hopfion.Comment: 27 page
