Abstract

This paper describes conservation laws in general relativity (GR) dating back to the mass-energy conservation of Bondi and Sachs in the early 1960s but using 2-spinor techniques. The notion of conformal infinity is employed, and the highly original ideas of E. T. Newman are discussed in relation to twistor theory. The controversial NP constants are introduced, and their meaning is considered in a new light related to the problem of equations of motion in GR. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘At the interface of asymptotics, conformal methods and analysis in general relativity’.
