ENERGY IN AdS

摘要

We construct conserved charges in curved backgrounds, specifically in the asymptotically AdS spacetime. As is well-known, the definition of energy in gravitating theories is a rather delicate issue. In this paper, which is a brief summary of our recent work, using the background Killing vectors, we define energy ( and angular momenta) in asymptotically AdS spacetimes that are solutions to generic higher curvature gravity models as well as Einstein's gravity.
