Arguments recently proposed by Kranyš concerning the nondistinguishability between Abraham's and Minkowski's electromagnetic contributions to the total energy-momentum tensor of the same relativistic, thermodynamically closed system are extended to other electromagnetic energy-momentum tensors (as proposed by Grot and Eringen and de Groot and Suttorp). The adjustment of the corresponding "matter" contribution, which occurs in each element of the canonical space-time decomposition of the total energy-momentum tensor, is exhibited in those different cases. For dissipation-free systems this adjustment can be achieved for each case by means of an ad hoc Legendre transformation on the internal energy density. The arguments used do not presuppose any isotropy and linearity of the medium and can be readily extended to the cases of media with hysteresis and media endowed with intrinsic spins, be they of a fluid-like or solid-like type of mechanical behavior.

An energy–momentum tensor for the microscopic plasma model is constructed from the action integral by allowing for dynamics of special relativity. The energy density is then identified with the 44-component of the energy–momentum tensor. The result is compared with that obtained from an ad hoc method with the Legendre transformation. The Hamiltonian obtained can be used to tackle nonlinear problems in plasma physics.

Chronology unprotected mechanisms are considered with a very low gravitational polarization to make the wormhole traversal with positive energy density everywhere. No need of exotic matter has been considered with the assumption of the Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell Fields, encountering above the non-zero stress-energy-momentum tensor through spacelike hypersurfaces by a hyperbolic coordinate shift.

A spherical planetary nebula is described as a geometric model. The nebula itself is considered as a thin-shell, which is visualized as a boundary of two spacetimes. The inner and outer curvature tensors of the thin-shell are found in order to get an expression of the energy-momentum tensor on the thin-shell. The energy density and pressure expressions are derived using the energy-momentum tensor. The time evolution of the radius of the thin-shell is obtained in terms of the energy density. The model is tested by using a simple power function for decreasing energy density and the evolution pattern of the planetary nebula is attained.

We present cylindrically symmetric, static solutions of the Einstein field equations around a line singularity such that the energy momentum tensor corresponds to infinitely thin photonic shells. Positivity of the energy density of the thin shell and the line singularity is discussed. It is also shown that thick shells containing mostly radiation are possible in a numerical solution.

The Universe

There exist field theory models where the fermionic energy–momentum tensor contains a term proportional to [Formula: see text] which may contribute to the dark energy. We show that this new field theory effect can be achieved in the Two Measures Field Theory (TMT) in the cosmological context. TMT is an alternative gravity and matter field theory where the gravitational interaction of fermionic matter is reduced to that of General Relativity when the energy density of the fermion matter is much larger than the dark energy density. In this case also the fifth force problem is solved automatically. In the opposite limit, where the magnitudes of fermionic energy density and scalar field dark energy density become comparable, nonrelativistic fermions can participate in the cosmological expansion in a very unusual manner. Some of the features of such Cosmo-Low-Energy-Physics (CLEP) states are studied in a toy model of the late time universe filled with homogeneous scalar field and uniformly distributed nonrelativistic neutrinos, and the following results are obtained: neutrino mass increases as m ∝ a3/2 (a is the scale factor); the proportionality factor in the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy–momentum tensor (proportional to the metric tensor) approaches a constant as a(t) → ∞ and therefore the noncanonical contribution to the neutrino energy density dominates over the canonical one ~ m/a3 ~ a-3/2 at the late enough universe; hence the neutrino gas equation-of-state approaches w = -1, i.e. neutrinos in the CLEP regime behave as a sort of dark energy as a → ∞; the equation-of-state for the total (scalar field + neutrino) energy density and pressure also approaches w = -1 in the CLEP regime; besides the total energy density of such universe is less than it would be in the universe filled with the scalar field alone. An analytic solution is presented. A domain structure of the dark energy seems to be possible. We speculate that decays of the CLEP state neutrinos may be both an origin of cosmic rays and responsible for a late super-acceleration of the universe. In this sense the CLEP states exhibit simultaneously new physics at very low densities and for very high particle masses.

The solutions of the Maxwellian field in FRW spacetime, found by using the Newman Penrose formalism, is used to determine the energy-momentum tensor. The tensor is obviously traceless, with the energy density equal to the sum of the radial and the two tangential pressures. But it turns out that the radial and tangential pressures are not equal, giving rise to anisotropy. Such anisotropy can be the origin of the rotation of galaxies. Another result is that the photon energy in a closed universe are quantized in units of one from the lowest value of two upwards. The lowest quantum of two can be interpreted as one unit of spin energy and one of translational energy. Key words: Galactic structure; Maxwellian field; Anisotropic pressure.

Classical relativistic field theory is used as a basis for a general discussion of the problem of splitting up the total energy–momentum tensor of a 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 non dispersive dielectric fluid. The case of an electromagnetic wave in a (spatially and temporally) dispersive medium in arbitrary but slowly varying motion is then treated. In the dispersive case the results cannot be found by replacing the dielectric constant ε with ε(κ, ω) but include derivatives with respect to the wave vector κ and the frequency ω. Ponderomotive force expressions are obtained and the perturbation in the total energy–momentum tensor due to a one-dimensional wavepacket is found. A nonlinear Schrödinger equation is obtained for the evolution of a three-dimensional wavepacket. Both hot and cold plasmas are treated.
