Starting from the known representation of the Kac–Moody algebra in terms of the coordinates and momenta, we extend it to the representation of the super Kac–Moody and super Virasoro algebras. Then we use general canonical method to construct an action invariant under local gauge symmetries, where components of the super energy–momentum tensor L± and G± play the role of the diffeomorphisms and supersymmetry generators respectively. We obtain covariant extension of WZNW theory with respect to local supersymmetry as well as explicit expressions for gauge transformations.

Bosonic representations of N=2 superconformal algebra are studied. We show that the free energy momentum tensor decomposes into an orthogonal sum of the interacting bosonic model (IBM) and a coset-like tensors. We define the notion of flags of models and show that the central charge does not decrease along the flags. We examine the conditions for an arbitrary un-oriented graph to form an IBM. We discuss several properties of the chiral algebra of these models and examine the role of the continuous parameters by studying an example. Finally we discuss the relations between these models and the N=2 superconformal coset models.

We show that the Painlevé test is useful not only for probing (non)integrability but also for finding the values of spins of conserved currents (W currents) in Toda field theories (TFT’s). In the case of TFT’s based on simple Lie algebras the locations of resonances are shown to give precisely the spins of conserved W currents. We apply this test to TFT’s based strictly on hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras and show that there exist no resonance other than that at n = 2, which corresponds to the energy-momentum tensor, indicating their nonintegrability. We also check by direct calculation that there are no spin-3 or -4 conserved currents for all the hyperbolic TFT’s in agreement with the result of our Painlevé analysis.

Within the scope of Bianchi type-IX cosmological model we have studied the role of spinor field in the evolution of the Universe. It is found that unlike the diagonal Bianchi models in this case the components of energy–momentum tensor of spinor field along the principal axis are not the same (i.e., [Formula: see text]), even in the absence of spinor field nonlinearity. The presence of nontrivial non-diagonal components of energy–momentum tensor of the spinor field imposes severe restrictions both on geometry of space–time and on the spinor field itself. As a result the space–time turns out to be either locally rotationally symmetric or isotropic. In this paper we considered the Bianchi type-IX space–time both for a trivial b, that corresponds to standard Bianchi type-IX and the one with a non-trivial b. It was found that a positive self-coupling constant λ1 gives rise to an oscillatory mode of expansion, while a trivial λ1 leads to rapid expansion at the early stage of evolution.

We investigate the role of tilted and nontilted congruence in the dynamics of dissipative Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi spacetime in [Formula: see text] gravity. We consider imperfect fluid with its congruences observed by tilted observer and dust fluid filled with LTB geometry observed by the nontilted observer. In order to elaborate the dynamical features of two congruences, we consider well-known [Formula: see text] models and develop relationships between tilted and nontilted dynamical variables. We evaluate the nonzero divergence of energy–momentum tensor for tilted congruence and transport equation for the system in [Formula: see text] gravity. We have also checked the instability regimes for nontilted congruence.

In the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, we study the dynamics of a gravitationally coupled electromagnetic field. It is shown that the electromagnetic field is able not only to couple to torsion, but also, through its energy–momentum tensor, produce torsion. Furthermore, it is shown that the coupling of the electromagnetic field with torsion preserves the local gauge invariance of Maxwell's theory.

Hawking radiation is obtained from anomalies resulting from a breaking of diffeomorphism symmetry near the event horizon of a black hole. Such anomalies, manifested as a nonconservation of the energy–momentum tensor, occur in two different forms — covariant and consistent. The crucial role of covariant anomalies near the horizon is revealed, since this is the only input required to obtain the Hawking flux, thereby highlighting the universality of this effect. A brief description of the application of this method to obtain thermodynamic entities like entropy or temperature is provided.

The perturbation theory of the WZNW model in two dimensions is investigated. We obtain closed expressions for the generating functional of the chiral currents and of the energy–momentum tensor, valid to all orders in 1/k where k is the integer parameter of the model. It is demonstrated how the relations of the Kač–Moody and Virasoro algebras emerge within the perturbative approach.

The covariant canonical analysis for Yang-Mills theory expressed as a BF-like action is performed. We study a BF-like action, that in spite of being the coupling of two topological terms, yield, on shell to Yang-Mills action. In addition, by using the results obtained in the covariant canonical approach we study the symmetries of the action, in particular we calculate its energy-momentum tensor obtaining the same tensor found for Yang-Mills theory; then we confirm those results by using Noether's theorem.

We discuss the connection between two important parallel developments in continuum mechanics that has gone unnoticed despite intense activity in both these seemingly disparate areas: the first stems from the pioneering work of Eckart on the role of the evolution of “natural configurations” in the inelastic response of solids; the second stems from the seminal work of Eshelby concerning the energy-momentum tensor associated with the driving forces that arise as a consequence of inhomogeneities and defects during the deformations of solids. We show that a variety of driving forces manifest themselves as a consequence of the evolution of natural configurations, depending on the particular process under consideration. Our study makes it clear that no new balance laws need be invoked in order to accommodate such driving forces, the usual balances laws of mechanics being sufficient.

In this paper, we analyze some dynamical features of spherical celestial objects through structure scalars in [Formula: see text] gravitational theory, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar and the trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively. In this framework, we consider our relativistic geometry to be spherical in shape filled with radiating viscous and shearing fluid content. We formulate extended version of structure scalars by orthogonal decomposition of the Riemann tensor with and without constant [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] backgrounds. We discuss the effects of dark source corrections on the construction of expansion and shear evolution equations via scalar variables. It is inferred that like general relativity, one can investigate the evolutionary stages of stellar compact objects with the help of extended scalar parameters.
