Abstract: We prove in a simple and coordinate-free way the equivalence bteween the classical definitions of the mass or the center of mass of an asymptotically flat manifold and their alternative definitions depending on the Ricci tensor and conformal Killing fields. This enables us to prove an analogous statement in the asymptotically hyperbolic case.

Review text

The purpose of this paper is to give a \textit{simple} proof of the equality between the classical definitions of the asymptotic invariants and their alternative definitions using the Ricci tensor and avoiding tedious calculations. Then, the author explains why the equality should hold. Let \((M,g)\) be an asymptotic flat manifold. Then, the mass \(m(g)\) is defined by a limiting process. The center of the mass \({\mathbb C}(g)\) is also defined as an asymptotic invariant. On the other hand, there are alternative definitions of these asymptotic invariants using the Ricci tensor, defined by \(m_R(g)\), \(\mathbb C_R(g)\). The author shows the following coincidence theorem given by a simple proof. Theorem 2.3. If \((M,g)\) is a \(C^3\) asymptotically flat manifold with integrable scalar curvature and decay rate \(\tau>\frac {n-2}{2}\), then the classical and Ricci definitions of the mass agree: \(m(g)=m_R(g)\). If \(m(g)\neq 0\) and the RT asymptotic conditions are moreover assumed, the same holds for the center of mass, i.e., \(c^\alpha(g)=c^\alpha_R(g)\) for any \(\alpha\in \{1,\dots,n\}\). The author shows that the same approach as in the asymptotically flat case can be performed to the asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds.
