Quasi-local energy of rotating black hole spacetimes and isometric embeddings of 2-surfaces in Euclidean 3-space
One of the most fundamental problems in classical general relativity is the measure of e↵ective mass of a pure gravitational field. The principle of equivalence prohibits a purely local measure of this mass. This thesis critically examines the most recent quasi-local measure by Wang and Yau for a...
