Abstract: (Springer)
Motivated by the current research of generalized symmetries and the construction of conserved charges in pure Einstein gravity linearized over Minkowski spacetime in Cartesian coordinates, we investigate, from a purely classical point of view, the construction of these charges in a coordinate- and frame-independent language in order to generalize them further. We show that all the charges constructed in that context are associated to the conformal Killing-Yano 2-forms of Minkowski spacetime. Furthermore, we prove that those associated to closed conformal Killing-Yano 2-forms are identical to the charges constructed by Kastor and Traschen for their dual Killing-Yano (d − 2)-forms. We discuss the number of independent and non-trivial gravitational charges that can be constructed in this way.Note:
