Four types of attractive gravity probe surfaces

We reexamine the concept of the attractive gravity probe surface recently proposed as an indicator for strength of gravity. Then, we propose three new variant concepts and show refined inequalities for the four types of the AGPSs by taking account of the angular momentum, gravitational waves and matters.Comment: 25 pages, 2 figure

Asymptotic behavior of null geodesics near future null infinity IV: Null-access theorem for generic asymptotically flat spacetime

In our previous papers [arXiv:2106.03150, arXiv:2110.10917, arXiv:2208.00822], we analyzed the asymptotic behavior of future directed null geodesics near future null infinity and then we showed a proposition on the accessibility of the null geodesics to future null infinity in a specific class of asymptotically flat spacetimes. In this paper, we adopt the retarded time of the Bondi coordinate as the parameter for the null geodesics and then see that one can relax the assumptions imposed in our previous studies. As a consequence, we obtain a new null-access theorem for generic asymptotically flat spacetimes.Comment: 16 pages, no figure
