| contents | We study the previously proposed quasilocal angular momentum of gravitational fields in the absence of isometries. The quasilocal angular momentum $L(ξ)$ has the following attractive properties; ({\it i}) it follows from the Einstein's constraint equations, ({\it ii}) it satisfies the Poisson algebra $\{L(ξ), L(η) \}_{\rm P.B.} =({1/16π)}\, L( [ξ, η]_{\rm L} )$, ({\it iii}) its Poisson algebra reduces to the standard $SO(3)$ algebra of angular momentum at null infinity, and ({\it iv}) it reproduces the standard value for the Kerr spacetime at null infinity. It will be argued that our definition is a quasilocal and canonical generalization of A. Rizzi's geometric definition at null infinity. We also propose a new definition of an {\it invariant} quasilocal angular momentum $L^{2}$ such that $\{ L^2, L(ξ) \}_{\rm P.B.} = 0$, which becomes $(ma)^{2}$ at the null infinity of the Kerr spacetime. Therefore, it may be regarded as a quasilocal generalization of the Casimir invariant of ordinary angular momentum in the flat spacetime. |
