OAS Fall 2008 Technical Meeting 3/13 The Field Energy Problem of GR There is no well-defined gravitational field energy in General Relativity (L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz, The Classical Theory of Fields, Sec. 96) Standard methods to obtain the energy-momentum tensor in GR do not work. They yield a pseudo-tensor that is not unique. Usually asserted on the basis of the principle of equivalence that the gravitational energy cannot be localized. (C. W. Misner, K. S. Thorne and J. A. Wheeler, Gravitation)
OAS Fall 2008 Technical Meeting 4/13 The Field Energy Problem of GR Both standard Newtonian Gravitation and the Maxwell-form Gravitomagnetic (GEM) theory of Gravity have a gravitational field energy (density) – This gravitational field energy has been discounted because it is negative. By the E = M c 2 mass equivalence relation this gravitational field energy density is equivalent to the negative mass density

OAS Fall 2008 Technical Meeting 8/13 Spherically Symmetry For empty space ρ = 0, so Look for Spherical symmetric solution:
OAS Fall 2008 Technical Meeting 9/13 Spherically Symmetry (cont) This has the general solution: Where B is an integration constant. Using the boundary condition,
OAS Fall 2008 Technical Meeting 10/13 Event Horizon This solution: Can be written as where Is the usual Schwarzschild Radius
