Note on Gravitational Energy
Abstract
We compute the limiting behaviour of an energy integral proposed by Hawking. In the presence of matter, we find that the leading-order contribution to this integral is just the energy density of the matter. In the absence of matter, the leading-order contribution is the (time component of the) Bel-Robinson tensor.
