Covariant energy-momentum and an uncertainty principle for general relativity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We recognize the natural covariant extension for energy-momentum in general relativity: energy-momentum in spacetime as opposed to space. The key indicator is the Tolman energy integral for stationary systems. The demand that the general expression for arbitrary dynamic systems reduce to the Tolman integral in the case of stationary bounded distributions leads to the matter-localized Ricci integral for energy-momentum in support of the energy localization hypothesis. The role of the observer is addressed and it is recognized that the field of freely-falling observers extract the global Tolman energy. It is suggested that in the extreme of strong gravity, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle be generalized in terms of spacetime energy-momentum.

Covariant Energy - Momentum Conservation In General Relativity
A covariant formula for conserved currents of energy, momentum and angular-momentum is derived from a general form of Noether's theorem applied directly to the Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity. Energy conservation in a closed big-bang cosmology is discussed as a special case.

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
متن کاملNonholonomic Mapping Principle for Classical Mechanics in Spactimes with Curvature and Torsion . New Covariant Conservation Law for Energy - Momentum Tensor ∗
The lecture explains the geometric basis for the recently-discovered nonholonomic mapping principle which specifies certain laws of nature in spacetimes with curvature and torsion from those in flat spacetime, thus replacing and extending Einstein's equivalence principle. An important consequence is a new action principle for determining the equation of motion of a free spinless point particle ...
متن کاملClebsch Variational Principles in Field Theories and Singular Solutions of Covariant Epdiff Equations
This paper introduces and studies a field theoretic analogue of the Clebsch variational principle of classical mechanics. This principle yields an alternative derivation of the covariant Euler-Poincaré equations that naturally includes covariant Clebsch variables via multisymplectic momentum maps. In the case of diffeomorphism groups, this approach gives a new interpretation of recently derived...
متن کاملOn the Energy Problem in General Relativity
The Energy Problem (EP) in General Relativity (GR) is analyzed in the context of GR’s axiomatic inconsistencies. EP is classified according to its local and global aspects. The local aspects of the EP include noncovariance of the energy-momentum pseudotensor (EMPT) of the gravitational field, non-uniqueness of the EMPT, asymmetry of EMPT and vanishing metric energy-momentum tensor. The global a...
