Quasi-local energy and compactification

Abstract Based on the quasi-local energy definition of Brown and York, we compute the integral of the trace of the extrinsic curvature over a codimension-2 hypersurface. In particular, we study the difference between the uncompactified Minkowski spacetime and the toroidal Kaluza-Klein compactificati...
