Komar mass normalization in higher dimensions
ID: komar-mass-normalization-in-higher-dimensions
For future static-slice normal and outward radial normal , take , with both antisymmetric components summed. For the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini metric the flux is . The displayed dimension-dependent coefficient then reproduces the ADM mass. Reversing orientation reverses the flux; including a factor of one-half in the binormal convention also changes its numerical value. A four-dimensional normalization cannot be carried unchanged into other dimensions.
