Abstract:

We calculate the mass and spin of exact solutions of the Poincaré gauge theory, which asymptotically go over to a de Sitter space of constant curvature. Using certain energy-momentum and spin complexes in suitable frames, we find that the total mass of a spherically symmetric solution is just equal to the mass parameter of the solution, whereas the total spin vanishes.
