Abstract

We discuss the asymptotic structure of null infinity in five dimensional space-times. Since it is known that the conformal infinity is not useful for odd higher dimensions, we shall employ the coordinate based method such as the Bondi coordinate first introduced in four dimensions. Then we will define the null infinity and identify the asymptotic symmetry. We will also derive the Bondi mass expression and show its conservation law.
