Abstract
We give a rigorous proof of the existence of solutions to the nonlinea r gauge conditions on orthonormal frames introduced by Nester to prove the positive energy theorem in general relativity. The proof holds in all dimensions n greater than or equal to 2. If the second de Rham co homology group vanishes one also proves uniqueness. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
