Charges and Fluxes on (Perturbed) Non-expanding Horizons

Abstract

In a companion paper we showed that the symmetry group $\mathfrak{G}$ of non-expanding horizons (NEHs) is a 1-dimensional extension of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group $\mathfrak{G}$ at ${\mathcal{I}}^{+}$. For each infinitesimal generator of $\mathfrak{G}$, we now define a charge and a flux on NEHs as well as perturbed NEHs. The procedure uses the covariant phase space framework in presence of internal null boundaries $\mathcal{N}$. However, $\mathcal{N}$ is required to be an NEH or a perturbed NEH. Consequently, charges and fluxes associated with generators of $\mathfrak{G}$ are free of physically unsatisfactory features that can arise if $\mathcal{N}$ is allowed to be a general null boundary. In particular, all fluxes vanish if $\mathcal{N}$ is an NEH, just as one would hope; and fluxes associated with symmetries representing `time-translations' are positive definite on perturbed NEHs. These results hold for zero as well as non-zero cosmological constant. In the asymptotically flat case, as noted in \cite{akkl1}, ${\mathcal{I}}^{\pm }$ are NEHs in the conformally completed space-time but with an extra structure that reduces $\mathfrak{G}$ to $\mathfrak{B}$. The flux expressions at $\mathcal{N}$ reflect this synergy between NEHs and ${\mathcal{I}}^{+}$. In a forthcoming paper, this close relation between NEHs and ${\mathcal{I}}^{+}$ will be used to develop gravitational wave tomography, enabling one to deduce horizon dynamics directly from the waveforms at ${\mathcal{I}}^{+}$.
