Scientific paper

The transformation of the Hamilton action integral of general relativity under infinitesimal coordinate transformations is used to derive a tensorial conservation theorem for the gravitational field. The total gravitational field is split into two parts: a 'background' field (assumed to be given) and a perturbative part. The resulting conservation theorem is exact, covariant, and of the Poynting type - i.e., only first derivatives of the perturbative field appear in it.
