Bondi mass with a cosmological constant by Saw, Vee-Liem

“…That suggested quantity, however, introduced a Λ-correction term to the Bondi mass MB (where MB is the usual Bondi mass for asymptotically flat spacetimes), which would involve information not just on the state of the system at that moment but ostensibly also its past history. In this paper, we derive the identical mass-loss equation using an integral formula on a hypersurface formulated by Frauendiener based on the Nester-Witten identity and argue that one may adopt a generalization of the Bondi mass with Λ∈R without any correction, viz., MΛ=MB for any Λ∈R. …”
