Generally Covariant Conservative Energy-Momentum for Gravitational Anyons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain a generally covariant conservation law of energy momentum for gravitational anyons by the general displacement transform. The energymomentum currents have also superpotentials and are therefore identically conserved. It is shown that for Deser’s solution and Clément’s solution, the energy vanishes. The reasonableness of the definition of energy-momentum may be confirmed by the solution for pure Einstein gravity which is a limit of vanishing Chern-Simons coupling of gravitational anyons.

متن کاملEinstein’s Energy-Free Gravitational Field
We show that Einstein’s gravitational field has zero energy, momentum, and stress. This conclusion follows directly from the gravitational field equations, in conjunction with the differential law of energy-momentum conservation T ;ν = 0. Einstein rejected this conservation law despite the fact that it is generally covariant. We trace his rejection to a misapplication of Gauss’ divergence formu...

We present a completely gauge invariant treatment of the energy carried by a gravitational fluctuation in a general curved background. Via a varia-tional principle we construct an energy-momentum tensor for gravitational fluctuations whose covariant conservation condition is gauge invariant. With contraction of this energy-momentum tensor with a Killing vector of the background allowing us to c...
متن کاملOn the Energy-Momentum Density of Gravitational Plane Waves
By embedding Einstein’s original formulation of GR into a broader context we show that a dynamic covariant description of gravitational stress-energy emerges naturally from a variational principle. A tensor TG is constructed from a contraction of the Bel tensor with a symmetric covariant second degree tensor field Φ and has a form analogous to the stress-energy tensor of the Maxwell field in an...
متن کاملGauge-Invariant Localization of Infinitely Many Gravitational Energies from All Possible Auxiliary Structures
The problem of finding a covariant expression for the distribution and conservation of gravitational energy-momentum dates to the 1910s. A suitably covariant infinite-component localization is displayed, reflecting Bergmann’s realization that there are infinitely many conserved gravitational energy-momenta. Initially use is made of a flat background metric (or rather, all of them) or connection...
