Based on the Wigner function in local equilibrium, we derive hydrodynamical quantities for a system of polarized spin-1/2 particles: the particle number current density, the energy-momentum tensor, the spin tensor, and the dipole moment tensor. Compared with ideal hydrodynamics without spin, additional terms at the first and second orders in the Knudsen number Kn and the average spin polarization χs have been derived. The Wigner function can be expressed in terms of matrix-valued distributions, whose equilibrium forms are characterized by thermodynamical parameters in quantum statistics. The equations of motion for these parameters are derived by conservation laws at the leading and next-to-leading order Kn and χs .

ABSTRACTIt is suggested, on heuristic grounds, that the energy-momentum tensor of a material field with non-zero spin and non-zero rest-mass should be non-symmetric. The usual relationship between energy-momentum tensor and gravitational potential then implies that the latter should also be a non-symmetric tensor. This suggestion has nothing to do with unified field theory; it is concerned with the pure gravitational field.A theory of gravitation based on a non-symmetric potential is developed. Field equations are derived, and a study is made of Rosenfeld identities, Bianchi identities, angular momentum and the equations of motion of test particles. These latter equations represent the geodesics of a Riemannian space whose contravariant metric tensor is gij–, in agreement with a result of Lichnerowicz(9) on the bicharacteristics of the Einstein–Schrödinger field equations.

AbstractWe generalize and unify the $$f\left( R,T\right) $$ f R , T and $$f\left( R,L_m\right) $$ f R , L m type gravity models by assuming that the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R, of the trace of the energy–momentum tensor T, and of the matter Lagrangian $$L_m$$ L m , so that $$ L_{grav}=f\left( R,L_m,T\right) $$ L grav = f R , L m , T . We obtain the gravitational field equations in the metric formalism, the equations of motion for test particles, and the energy and momentum balance equations, which follow from the covariant divergence of the energy–momentum tensor. Generally, the motion is non-geodesic, and takes place in the presence of an extra force orthogonal to the four-velocity. The Newtonian limit of the equations of motion is also investigated, and the expression of the extra acceleration is obtained for small velocities and weak gravitational fields. The generalized Poisson equation is also obtained in the Newtonian limit, and the Dolgov–Kawasaki instability is also investigated. The cosmological implications of the theory are investigated for a homogeneous, isotropic and flat Universe for two particular choices of the Lagrangian density $$f\left( R,L_m,T\right) $$ f R , L m , T of the gravitational field, with a multiplicative and additive algebraic structure in the matter couplings, respectively, and for two choices of the matter Lagrangian, by using both analytical and numerical methods.

A method for the phenomenological description of particle production is proposed. Correspondingly modified equations of motion and energy-momentum tensor are obtained. In order to illustrate this method we reconsider from the new point of view of (i) the C-field Hoyle-Narlikar cosmology, (ii) the influence of the particle production process on metric inside the event horizon of a charged black hole and (iii) a nonsingular cosmological model.

A kinetic theory of classical particles serves as a unified basis for developing a geometric 3 + 1 spacetime perspective on fluid dynamics capable of embracing both Minkowski and Galilei/Newton spacetimes. Parallel treatment of these cases on as common a footing as possible reveals that the particle four-momentum is better regarded as comprising momentum and inertia rather than momentum and energy; and, consequently, that the object now known as the stress-energy or energy-momentum tensor is more properly understood as a stress-inertia or inertia-momentum tensor. In dealing with both fiducial and comoving frames as fluid dynamics requires, tensor decompositions in terms of the four-velocities of observers associated with these frames render use of coordinate-free geometric notation not only fully viable, but conceptually simplifying. A particle number four-vector, three-momentum (1, 1) tensor, and kinetic energy four-vector characterize a simple fluid and satisfy balance equations involving spacetime divergences on both Minkowski and Galilei/Newton spacetimes. Reduced to a fully 3 + 1 form, these equations yield the familiar conservative formulations of special relativistic and non-relativistic fluid dynamics as partial differential equations in inertial coordinates, and in geometric form will provide a useful conceptual bridge to arbitrary-Lagrange–Euler and general relativistic formulations.

Axis Of Rotation

A method due to Chrzanowski, involving horizon multipole moments, is applied to the problem of a black hole perturbed by an enclosing, distant, spinning, spherical shell of matter. The hole, of mass M and angular momentum J = aM , is at the centre of the shell, their respective axes of rotation differing by an angle ξ. The matter-distribution on the shell is axisymmetric about its axis of rotation, but otherwise arbitrary, except that the total mass of the shell is small in comparison with M . The energy-momentum tensor of such a shell has been previously found by Bass & Pirani. Using their expression, we calculate the spin-down law for the black hole, correct to leading order in the inverse of the shell’s radius, and to second order in its angular velocity. The solution may be expressed in terms of the ‘electric’ and ‘magnetic’ components E αβ and B αβ of the Weyl tensor C ijkl , as calculated at the centre of the shell, in the absence of the black hole. For, denoting by J ∥ and J ⊥ the components of J parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the direction of spin of the shell, we have always d J ∥ /d t = 0 and 1/ J ⊥ d J ⊥ /d t =–4/15 M 3 ( E αβ E αβ + B αβ B αβ ) (1–3/4ã 2 +15/4ã 2 sin 2 ξ), where ã = a / M . This law is of theoretical interest. It shows points both of similarity to, and of difference from, the known laws describing the response of a black hole to (uniform) scalar and electromagnetic fields.

General Method

A general method is set up for modifying the energy-momentum tensor so as to remove the singularities in the flow of energy and momentum into the world-line of a particle without affecting the equations of motion of the particle. It is shown how the singularities of different order may be removed one by one. In the case of the electromagnetic and meson fields it is shown that the modified tensor leads to a finite integral of energy and momentum over any space-like surface. In other cases the corresponding result may be secured by making a further modification in the tensor.

The relativistic field theories of elementary particles are extended to cases where the field equations are derived from Lagrangians containing all derivatives of the field quantities. Expressions for the current, the energy-momentum tensor, the angular-momentum tensor, and the symmetrized energy-momentum tensor are given. When the field interacts with an electromagnetic field, we introduce a subtraction procedure, by which all the above expressions are made gauge-invariant. The Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of motion in a gauge-invariant form is also given.After considering the Lagrangian L as a scalar in a general relativity transformation and thus a function of gμν and their derivatives, the functional derivative ofwith respect to gμν (x) at a point where the space time is flat is worked out. It is shown that this differs from the symmetrized energy-momentum tensor given in the above sections by a term which vanishes when certain operators Sij are antisymmetrical or when the Lagrangian contains the first derivatives of the field quantities only and whose divergence to either μ or ν vanishes.

Charge Current

A study is made of the motion of an extended body in arbitrary gravitational and electromagnetic fields. In a previous paper it was shown how to construct a set of reduced multipole moments of the charge-current vector for such a body. This is now extended to a corresponding treatment of the energy-momentum tensor. It is shown that, taken together, these two sets of moments have the following three properties. First, they provide a full description of the body, in that they determine completely the energy-momentum tensor and charge-current vector from which they are constructed. Secondly, they include the total charge, total momentum vector and total angular momentum (spin) tensor of the body. Thirdly, the only restrictions on the moments, apart from certain symmetry and orthogonality conditions, are the equations of motion for the total momentum and spin, and the conservation of total charge. The time dependence of the higher moments is arbitrary, since the process of reduction used to construct the moments has eliminated those contributions to these moments whose behaviour is determinate. The uniqueness of the chosen set of moments is investigated, leading to the discovery of a set of properties which is sufficient to characterize them uniquely. The equations of motion are first obtained in an exact form. Under certain conditions, the contributions from the moments of sufficiently high order are seen to be negligible. It is then convenient to make the multipole , in which these high order terms are omitted. When this is done, further simplifications can be made to the equations of motion. It is shown that they take an especially simple form if use is made of the extension operator of Veblen & Thomas. This is closely related to repeated covariant differentiation, but is more useful than that for present purposes. By its use, an explicit form is given for the equations of motion to any desired multipole order. It is shown that they agree with the corresponding Newtonian equations in the appropriate limit.
