Investigation of symmetries and conserved charges in general relativity
This thesis presents a series of results relating to conserved charges in general relativity. In particular, we give a general expression for a gravitational charge corresponding to a boost Killing vector. Further, we use Hamiltonian perturbative techniques to obtain generalizations of the first law...
