Note on post-Minkowskian expansion and Bondi coordinates

In this note, we transform the linear order (at order G) metric from a system of pointlike bodies source in the post-Minkowskian expansion to the Bondi coordinates. We show that the Bondi 4-momentum and angular momentum coincide with the relativistic definitions of 4-momentum and angular momentum for the system of pointlike bodies. The angular momentum computed at the null infinity is free of supertranslation ambiguity.

Abstract

In this note, we transform the linear order (at order G) metric from a system of pointlike bodies source in the post-Minkowskian expansion to the Bondi coordinates. We show that the Bondi 4-momentum and angular momentum coincide with the relativistic definitions of 4-momentum and angular momentum for the system of pointlike bodies. The angular momentum computed at the null infinity is free of supertranslation ambiguity.
