Abstract

The prescription proposed by Komar in order to calculate the total gravitational mass acting on a test particle in a given stationary asymptotically flat spacetime is generalized to stationary asymptotically anti–de Sitter spacetimes. It is shown that this generalized Komar mass is different from the total gravitational energy calculated by Henneaux and Teitelboim for the Kerr–anti-de Sitter spacetime. This last total energy agrees, however, with the total charge-energy calculated using the Brown-York action formalism.
