“…Our knowledge of energy and mass in general relativity has progressed greatly since the times of Lemaître and Cahill and McVittie, with the introduction of the various quasi-local energies (see [24] for a review), which culminated in the HawkingHayward quasi-local energy [17,18]. In spherical symmetry, the Hawking-Hayward quasi-local energy reduces [18,25] to the Misner-Sharp-Hernandez mass M MSH [20,21], which is defined in a coordinate-invariant way by [18,20,21,25,29,30,35] 1 − 2M MSH R = ∇ c R∇ c R, (2.16) where R is the areal radius (which, being related to the area A of 2-spheres of symmetry by R = A 4π , is a geometrically defined quantity). In coordinates x μ = {T, R, θ, ϕ}, the squared gradient in the right hand side of Eq.…”
