general relativity - Recommendation on ADM mass and Bondi mass



I want to learn some advanced topics in GR, such as ADM 4-momentum and Bondi 4-momentum. However nearly no textbooks on GR contain this area, such as Wald, MTW, Hawking, Carroll and Zee's. Can anyone recommend some textbooks or papers giving the elaboration in detail?



Answer



This is discussed in detail in A Relativists Toolkit by Eric Poisson. The original ADM paper is on the arxiv at http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0405109, and while the notation is old, the arguments are clear.
