Defining mass and angular momentum in general relativity II

Zoom Link

Building on Einstein’s equivalence principle, general relativity achieves coordinate‬ independence in its core equations. However, this also presents a challenge: it implies the‬ absence of a localized gravitational density. Consequently, defining fundamental quantities such‬ ‭ such as mass, and angular momentum becomes intricate. These talks will explore the‬ ongoing efforts over the past decades to understand these concepts in general relativity.‬
