Dominant property for the Bel-Robinson tensor and tensor S

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Bel-Robinson tensor contains many nice mathematical properties and its dominant energy condition is desirable for describing the positive gravitational energy. The dominant property is a basic requirement for the quasi-local mass, i.e., in small sphere limit. We claim that there exists another option, a linear combination between the Bel-Robinson tensor BB and tensor SS, which contributes the same dominant property. Moreover, using the 5 Petrov types as the verification, we found that this dominant property justification for the Bel-Robinson tensor can be simplified as examining B0000≥∣Bαβ00∣B_{0000}\geq|B_{αβ00}| and B0000≥∣B0123∣B_{0000}\geq|B_{0123}|, instead of B0000≥∣Bαβλσ∣B_{0000}\geq|B_{αβλσ}| for all α,β,λ,σ=0,1,2,3α,β,λ,σ=0,1,2,3.
