The past cosmological horizon as the relevant scri minus

ORAL

Abstract

We consider gravitational radiation produced by isolated sources in spacetimes with positive cosmological constant. A suitable notion of no-incoming radiation can be imposed on the past cosmological horizon of the system by combining ideas from asymptotics and the theory of weakly isolated horizons. We introduce a notion of the total energy and angular momentum of the isolated system. This work also lays the foundations for introducing notions of future infinity where outgoing radiation can be extracted.
