Supertranslation Invariance of Angular Momentum
Po-Ning Chen (University of California, Riverside)

Abstract:

LIGO's successful detection of gravitational waves has revitalized the theoretical understanding of the angular momentum carried away by gravitational radiation. An infinite-dimensional supertranslation ambiguity has presented an essential difficulty for decades of study. Recent advances were made to quantify the supertranslation ambiguity in the context of binary coalescence. In this talk, we will present the first definition of angular momentum in general relativity that is completely free from supertranslation ambiguity. The new definition of angular momentum is derived from the limit of the quasilocal angular momentum we defined previously.
This talk is based on joint work with Jordan Keller, Mu-Tao wang, Ye-Kai Wang, and Shing-Tung Yau.
