Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass

ID: arnowitt-deser-misner-mass

For an asymptotically flat stationary solution in its asymptotic rest frame, the ADM mass is the gravitational mass measured by the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner energy. It is fixed by the asymptotic metric falloff, not by a coordinate parameter's name. If spatial ADM momentum is present, distinguish the asymptotic energy component from the invariant mass obtained from the energy-momentum norm. For a static Schwarzschild-Tangherlini metric in dimensions with , the mass is ; the dimensional normalization is also reproduced by the Komar mass normalization in higher dimensions.
