Abstract:

We prove directly without using a density theorem that (i) the ADM mass defined in the usual way on an asymptotically flat manifold is equal to the mass defined intrinsically using the Ricci tensor; (ii) the Hamiltonian formulation of center of mass and the center of mass defined intrinsically using the Ricci tensor are the same.
