Energy-Momentum Tensors for Dispersive Electromagnetic Waves
Classical relativistic field theory is used as a basis for a general discussion of the problem of splitting up the total energy-momentum tensor ofa system into contributions from its component subsystems. Both the Minkowski and Abraham forms (including electrostriction) arise naturally in alternative split-up procedures applied to a nondispersive dielectric fluid. The case of an electromagnetic...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum Tensors in Nonsimple Elastic Dielectrics
We use Noether's theorem to derive energy-momentum tensors for a simple elastic material, a nonsimple elastic material of grade two, a simple elastic dielectric and a nonsimple elastic dielectric of grade two. The technique is easily extendable to a nonsimple elastic dielectric of any grade. Introduction The concept of the force acting on a defect, e.g., an impurity, vacant lattice site, disloc...
متن کاملElectromagnetic energy-momentum tensors in media
It is pointed out that the previous energy-momentum tensors of Minkowski and Abraham for the electromagnetic field in continuous media are based on a covariant formulation which does not reflect a symmetry inherent to the system. Instead, taking into account the intrinsic invariance under Lorentz transformations involving the reduced speed of light in such a medium, a compact and fully consiste...
متن کاملProjections and covariant divergency of the energy-momentum tensors
The invariant projections of the energy-momentum tensors of Lagrangian densities for tensor fields over differentiable manifolds with contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics [(Ln, g)-spaces] are found by the use of an non-null (non-isotropic) contravariant vector field and its corresponding projective metrics. The notions of rest mass density, momentum density, energy current...
