Angular momentum in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity

arXiv:2509.00191 · doi:10.1140/epjp/s13360-026-08140-3

Abstract

In teleparallelism one is able to tackle the gravitational energy and angular momentum problems in a way that distinguishes this theory from other theories of gravity, such as general relativity. However, unlike the -momentum, the quantity that is usually identified with a type of angular momentum does not have a clear interpretation. This problem is discussed, in particular the vanishing of the -angular momentum in the time gauge, and some general properties are obtained.
