Time Dynamics

The generic form of space-time dynamics as a classical gauge field theory has recently been derived, based on only the action principle and on the principle of general relativity. It was thus shown that Einstein’s general relativity is the special case where (i) the Hilbert Lagrangian (essentially the Ricci scalar) is supposed to describe the dynamics of the “free” (uncoupled) gravitational field, and (ii) the energy–momentum tensor is that of scalar fields representing real or complex structureless (spin-[Formula: see text]) particles. It followed that all other source fields — such as vector fields representing massive and nonmassive spin-[Formula: see text] particles — need careful scrutiny of the appropriate source tensor. This is the subject of our actual paper: we discuss in detail the coupling of the gravitational field with (i) a massive complex scalar field, (ii) a massive real vector field, and (iii) a massless vector field. We show that different couplings emerge for massive and nonmassive vector fields. The massive vector field has the canonical energy–momentum tensor as the appropriate source term — which embraces also the energy density furnished by the internal spin. In this case, the vector fields are shown to generate a torsion of space-time. In contrast, the system of a massless and charged vector field is associated with the metric (Hilbert) energy–momentum tensor due to its additional [Formula: see text] symmetry. Moreover, such vector fields do not generate a torsion of space-time. The respective sources of gravitation apply for all models of the dynamics of the “free” (uncoupled) gravitational field — which do not follow from the gauge formalism but must be specified based on separate physical reasoning.

Geometric Information

We explore the field equations in a 4-d complex space-time, in the same way, that general relativity does for our usual 4-d real space-time, forming this way, a new "general  relativity" in C4 space-time, free of sources. Afterwards, by embedding our usual 4-d real space-time in C4 space-time, we describe  geometrically the energy-momentum tensor Tμν as the lost geometric information of this embedding. We further give possible explanation of dark eld and dark energy.

In this paper, we obtain the field equations of Weyl static axially symmetric space-time in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] is torsion scalar. We will see that, for [Formula: see text] related to teleparallel equivalent general relativity, these equations reduce to Einstein field equations. We show that if the components of energy–momentum tensor are symmetric, the scalar torsion must be either constant or only a function of radial component [Formula: see text]. The solutions of some functions [Formula: see text] in which [Formula: see text] is a function of [Formula: see text] are obtained.

Mass Terms

We rederive in a physical manner the Weyl anomaly in two-dimensional space–time by considering the Dirac Sea. It is regularized by some bosonic extra species which are formally negatively counted. In fact, we calculate the trace of the energy–momentum tensor in the Dirac Sea in presence of background gravitational field. It has to be regularized, since the Dirac Sea is bottomless and thus causes divergence. The new regularization method consists in adding various massive bosonic species some of which are to be counted negative in the Dirac Sea. The mass terms in the Lagrangian of the regularization fields have a dependence on the background gravitational field.

We study the λɸ4 field theory in a flat Robertson-Walker space-time using the functional Schrödinger picture. We introduce a simple Gaussian approximation to analyze the time evolution of pure states and we establish the renormalizability of the approximation. We also show that the energy–momentum tensor in this approximation is finite once we consider the usual mass and coupling constant renormalizations.

Cylindrically Symmetric

We studied the behavior of nonlinear spinor field within the scope of a static cylindrically symmetric space–time. It is found that the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of the spinor field in this case possesses nontrivial non-diagonal components. The presence of non-diagonal components of the EMT imposes three-way restrictions either on the space–time geometry or on the components of the spinor field or on both. It should be noted that the analogical situation occurs in cosmology when the nonlinear spinor field is exploited as a source of gravitational field given by the Bianchi type-I cosmological model.

In the present paper we investigate the conservative conditions in Quadratic Gravity. It is shown explicitly that the Bianchi identities lead to the conservative condition of the left-hand-side of the (gravitational) field equation. Therefore, the total energy-momentum tensor is conservative in the bulk (like in General Relativity). However, in Quadratic Gravity it is possible to have singular hupersurfaces separating the bulk regions with different behavior of the matter energy-momentum tensor or different vacua. They require special consideration. We derived the conservative conditions on such singular hypersurfaces and demonstrated the very possibility of the matter creation. In the remaining part of the paper we considered some applications illustrating the obtained results.

We investigate the energy–momentum tensor for a massless conformally coupled scalar field in the region between two curved surfaces in k = -1 static Robertson–Walker space–time. We assume that the scalar field satisfies the Robin boundary condition on the surfaces. Robertson–Walker space–time space is conformally related to Rindler space; as a result we can obtain vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor for a conformally invariant field in Robertson–Walker space–time space from the corresponding Rindler counterpart by the conformal transformation.
