The four-dimensional Majumdar–Papapetrou solution is a static multi-black-hole Einstein-Maxwell solution with $H=1+{\sum }_i{M}_i/|\mathbf{x}-{\mathbf{x}}_i|$ and positive geometrized masses $M_i$. The electromagnetic potential can be written $A=\pm (H^{-1}-1)dt$, with a common sign of charge. Its mass at infinity is ${\sum }_i{M}_i$. Each distinct centre is an extremal horizon of zero surface gravity rather than a pointlike naked metric singularity.

Use geometrized units $G=c=1$. For a stationary asymptotically flat spacetime, normalize the timelike Killing vector field $\xi$ to have squared norm $-1$ at infinity. The Komar mass isHere the oriented binormal is chosen so that an ordinary positive-mass static solution gives a positive integral. Equivalently, on a static slice with lapse $N=\sqrt{-{\xi }^2}$ and outward spatial unit normal $s^i$,This second expression fixes the orientation unambiguously and is convenient for the Majumdar–Papapetrou solution.

The spatial metric is ${\gamma }_{ij}=H^2{\delta }_{ij}$ and $N=H^{-1}$. On a large coordinate sphere, $s^i=H^{-1}{\hat{r}}^i$ and $dA=H^2{r}^{2}d\Omega$. ThusThe original PDF has the Euclidean norm in each source denominator, which is missing in the TeX aid. With that norm, the harmonic function has asymptoticsThereforeIf $M_i$ are retained as length parameters while $G$ is restored, the physical mass is ${\sum }_i{M}_i/G$. This is the charge at infinity. A Komar integral is not generally surface-independent here, since Einstein-Maxwell theory has the electromagnetic stress-energy tensor between the surfaces; in particular it should not be confused with a sum of vacuum horizon Komar charges.
