   Abstract : The treatment of spatial infinity is one of the remaining major open problems in the theory of isolated self-gravitating systems. Especially when one wants to model scattering of gravitational radiation in spacetime. In this thesis the conformal theory is used to study simple electromagnetic fields, close to spatial infinity.

3. 2. Analytical Expressions for the Hawking Mass in slowly rotating Kerr and Kerr-Newman Space-times

   University essay from Matematiska institutionen

   Author : Martin Bengtsson; [2007]
   Keywords : Hawking mass; Penrose s inequality; Newman-Penrose formalism; Nester-Witten integral; Kerr space-time; Kerr-Newman space-time;

   Abstract : Penrose's inequality which relates the total mass of a space-time containing a black hole with the area of the event horizon, is a yet unproven condition that is required for the cosmic censorship hypothesis. It is believed that the inequality could be proved by using properties of the Hawking mass. READ MORE
