Renormalized energy-momentum tensor of λ Φ<Superscript>4</Superscript> theory in curved space-time

Divergenceless expression for the energy-momentum tensor of scalar field is obtained using the momentum cut-off regularization technique. We consider a scalar field with quartic self-coupling in a spatially flat (3+1)-dimensional Robertson-Walker space-time, having arbitrary mass and coupled to gravity. As special cases, energy-momentum tensor for conformal and minimal coupling are also obtained. The energy-momentum tensor is observed to exhibit trace anomaly in curved space-time

On the phenomenological three-graviton vertex

In General Relativity, the graviton interacts in three-graviton vertex with a tensor that is not the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field. We consider the possibility that the graviton interacts with the definite gravitational energy-momentum tensor that we previously found in the G ² approximation. This tensor in a gauge, where nonphysical degrees of freedom do not contribute, is remarkable, because it gives positive gravitational energy density for the Newtonian center in the same manner as the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor does for the Coulomb center. We show that the assumed three-graviton vertex does not lead to contradiction with the precession of Mercury’s perihelion. In the S-matrix approach used here, the external gravitational field has only a subsidiary role, similar to the external field in quantum electrodynamics. This approach with the assumed vertex leads to the gravitational field that cannot be obtained from a consistent gravity equation.     

The meaning of general covariance of einstein’s theory of gravity

The fundamental symmetry of Einstein’s theory of gravity is Lorentz-invariance which leads to a well defined energy-momentum tensor. This is also true for Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism which has an additional symmetry due to its spin one, restmass zero character. Similarly, the spin two, restmass zero character of the gravitational field leads to an additional gauge symmetry that happens to be isomorphic to the concept of general covariance. The gauge-covariant energy-momentum tensor for gravitational interactions vanishes identically.     

Currents and the energy-momentum tensor in classical field theory: a fresh look at an old problem

We give a comprehensive review of various methods to define currents and the energy-momentum tensor in classical field theory, with emphasis on a geometric point of view. The necessity of “improving” the expressions provided by the canonical Noether procedure is addressed and given an adequate geometric framework. The main new ingredient is the explicit formulation of a principle of “ultralocality” with respect to the symmetry generators, which is shown to fix the ambiguity inherent in the procedure of improvement and guide it towards a unique answer: when combined with the appropriate splitting of the fields into sectors, it leads to the well-known expressions for the current as the variational derivative of the matter field Lagrangian with respect to the gauge field and for the energy-momentum tensor as the variational derivative of the matter field Lagrangian with respect to the metric tensor. In the second case, the procedure is shown to work even when the matter field Lagrangian depends explicitly on the curvature, thus establishing the correct relation between scale invariance, in the form of local Weyl invariance “on shell”, and tracelessness of the energy-momentum tensor, required for a consistent definition of the concept of a conformal field theory.

Charged dilaton,energy, momentum and angular-momentum in teleparallel theory equivalent to general relativity

We apply the energy-momentum tensor to calculate energy, momentum and angular-momentum of two different tetrad fields. This tensor is coordinate independent of the gravitational field established in the Hamiltonian structure of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR). The spacetime of these tetrad fields is the charged dilaton. Our results show that the energy associated with one of these tetrad fields is consistent, while the other one does not show this consistency. Therefore, we use the regularized expression of the gravitational energy-momentum tensor of the TEGR. We investigate the energy within the external event horizon using the definition of the gravitational energy-momentum. PACS 04.70.Bw; 04.50.+h; 04.20.-Jb     

Gravitational energy and momentum: A tensorial approach

A tensorial expression for localized gravitational energy-momentum is delineated as an integral part of the energy-momentum tensor. A bona fide conservation law of the total energy-momentum tensor is obtained in the geodesic-nonrotating coordinates, in which the covariant divergencelessness of the energy-momentum tensor reads, globally, as ordinary divergencelessness. The integral gravitational energy in the exterior of a spherically symmetric source is calculated based on this tensorial relativistic expression. For an ordinary star, such as the sun, it coincides with the Newtonian value up to six digits.     

On energy-momentum tensors as sourcesof spin-2 fields

The improvement terms in the generalised energy-momentum tensor of Callan, Coleman and Jackiw can be derived from a variational principle if the Lagrangian is generalised to describe coupling between ‘matter’ fields and a spin-2 boson field. The required Lorentz-invariant theory is a linearised version of Kibble-Sciama theory with an additional (generally-covariant) coupling term in the Lagrangian. The improved energy-momentum tensor appears as the source of the spin-2 field, if terms of second order in the coupling constant are neglected.     

The Energy-Momentum Tensor for Electromagnetic Interactions

We compute the energy tensor and the energy-momentum tensor for electrodynamics coupled to the current of a charged scalar field and for electrodynamics coupled tothe current of a Dirac spinor field, without using the equations of motion.     

Gravitational Energy-Momentum and Conservation of Energy-Momentum in General Relativity

Based on a general variational principle, Einstein-Hilbert action and sound facts from geometry, it is shown that the long existing pseudotensor, non-localizability problem of gravitational energy-momentum is a result of mistaking different geometrical, physical objects as one and the same. It is also pointed out that in a curved spacetime, the sum vector of matter energy-momentum over a finite hyper-surface can not be defined. In curvilinear coordinate systems conservation of matter energy-momentum is not the continuity equations for its components. Conservation of matter energy-momentum is the vanishing of the covariant divergence of its density-flux tensor field. Introducing gravitational energy-momentum to save the law of conservation of energy-momentum is unnecessary and improper. After reasonably defining “change of a particle’s energy-momentum”, we show that gravitational field does not exchange energy-momentum with particles. And it does not exchange energy-momentum with matter fields either. Therefore, the gravitational field does not carry energy-momentum, it is not a force field and gravity is not a natural force.     

Matter Collineations in Kantowski-Sachs, Bianchi Types I and III Spacetimes

The matter collineation classifications of Kantowski-Sachs, Bianchi types I and III space times are studied according to their degenerate and non-degenerate energy-momentum tensor. When the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate, it is shown that the matter collineations are similar to the Ricci collineations with different constraint equations. Solving the constraint equations we obtain some cosmological models in this case. Interestingly, we have also found the case where the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate but the group of matter collineations is finite dimensional. When the energy-momentum tensor is non-degenerate, the group of matter collineations is finite-dimensional and they admit either four which coincides with isometry group or ten matter collineations in which four ones are isometries and the remaining ones are proper.     

Casimir Effect for Moving Branes in Static dS4+1 Bulk

In this paper we study the Casimir effect for conformally coupled massless scalar fields on background of Static dS₄₊₁ spacetime. We will consider the general plane–symmetric solutions of the gravitational field equations and boundary conditions of the Dirichlet type on the branes. Then we calculate the vacuum energy-momentum tensor in a configuration in which the boundary branes are moving by uniform proper acceleration in static de Sitter background. Static de Sitter space is conformally related to the Rindler space, as a result we can obtain vacuum expectation values of energy-momentum tensor for conformally invariant field in static de Sitter space from the corresponding Rindler counterpart by the conformal transformation.

Generation of static solutions of a self-consistent system of Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations

A theorem is proved according to which a class of static solutions of a self-consistent system of Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations dependent on one arbitrary function is set in correspondence with a static solution of the Einstein equations with any given energy-momentum tensor T_ij. Two particular cases are examined as an illustration of this theorem. Methods of constructing the static solutions of a system of Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations with an ideal fluid energy-momentum tensor and a massive scalar field are indicated therein.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 11–14, June, 1989.     

Casimir Effect for Two Parallel Plates Through a Gupta-Bleuler Type Quantization on the Static Domain Wall Background

In this paper, Casimir energy-momentum tensor for a conformally coupled scalar field in the presence of two parallel plates with Dirichlet boundary condition on background of planar domain wall is investigated. We show that by utilizing a Gupta-Bleuler type quantization approach, one can obtain finite result for the vacuum expectation values of the energy-momentum tensor. In addition, we calculate the pressures on the plates and energy density between two plates and show that they satisfy the standard thermodynamical relations.     

Variational principle and limit relations in the unified theory of gravitational,electromagnetic, and scalar fields

Within the framework of a special version of unified bimetrical field theory [1], starting from the explicit form of the Lagrangian L, the principal expressions are derived: the field equations, the energy-momentum tensor, the generalized equations of electrodynamics, the conservation laws. Various limiting cases are considered. It is shown that the equations for the electromagnetic field can be obtained as a consequence of the conservation law for the energy-momentum of the unified field.
