Energy, Momentum and Angular Momentum in Poincare Gauge Theory

Energy-momentum and angular momentum densities in gauge theories of gravity

In the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity, which has been formulated on the basis of a principal fiber bundle over the space-time manifold having the covering group of the proper orthochronous Poincaré group as the structure group, we examine the tensorial properties of the dynamical energy-momentum density Tk μ and the “spin” angular momentum density Skl μ of the gravitational field. They are bo...

Quasi-Local Energy-Momentum and Angular Momentum in General Relativity

The present status of the quasi-local mass, energy-momentum and angular-momentum constructions in general relativity is reviewed. First, the general ideas, concepts, and strategies, as well as the necessary tools to construct and analyze the quasi-local quantities, are recalled. Then, the various specific constructions and their properties (both successes and deficiencies are discussed. Finally...

Angular momentum conservation in dipolar energy transfer.

Conservation of angular momentum is a familiar tenet in science but has seldom been invoked to understand (or predict) chemical processes. We have developed a general formalism based on Wigner's original ideas concerning angular momentum conservation to interpret the photo-induced reactivity of two molecular donor-acceptor assemblies with physical properties synthetically tailored to facilitate...

Angular Momentum

1 the Angular Momentum - Energy Space

In this paper we shall define and study the angular momentum-energy space for the classical problem of plane-motions of a particle situated in a potential field of a central force. We shall present the angular momentum-energy space for some important cases. Mathematics Subject Classification: 37N05, 70K25, 70K42
