\Sigma

What this part means

a spacelike hypersurface and $u^\mu$ the four-velocity of the observer whose notion of simultaneity $\Sigma$ represents.

Its job in the formula

Where the article explains it

Let $\Sigma$ be a spacelike hypersurface and $u^\mu$ the four-velocity of the observer whose notion of simultaneity $\Sigma$ represents, with $\Sigma$ taken orthogonal to u .

The passage around this formula

Naming the slice is the first entry in this atlas’s notation. Let $\Sigma$ be a spacelike hypersurface and $u^\mu$ the four-velocity of the observer whose notion of simultaneity $\Sigma$ represents, with $\Sigma$ taken orthogonal to u . Replace the discrete sum with the body’s stress-energy tensor $T^{\alpha\beta}$ and define the energy centroid

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
