Quasi-Asimptotically Flat Spacetimes and Their ADM Mass

arXiv:gr-qc/9611043 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/14/5/031

Abstract

We define spacetimes that are asymptotically flat, except for a deficit solid angle , and present a definition of their ``ADM'' mass, which is finite for this class of spacetimes, and, in particular, coincides with the value of the parameter of the global monopole spacetime studied by Vilenkin and Barriola . Moreover, we show that the definition is coordinate independent, and explain why it can, in some cases, be negative.
