Asymptotic Flatness, Taub-NUT, and Variational Principle
arXiv:1106.4372 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.84.064034
Abstract
Using hyperbolic temporal and spatial cut-offs to define 4d asymptotically flat spacetimes, we show that supertranslation ambiguities in the asymptotic fields can all be removed even in the presence of gravitational magnetic charges. We then show that configurations with different electric and magnetic four-momenta can be consistently considered in the Mann-Marolf variational principle. This generalizes the previous result where variations over asymptotically flat configurations with fixed magnetic four-momenta were considered. We also express Kerr Taub-NUT metric to the leading and next to leading order in the Beig-Schmidt form, and compare the asymptotic form with the tensor harmonics on 3d de Sitter space.
