This chapter turns to the gravitational radiation produced by a system of massive objects. The discussion is confined to the linear approximation of general relativity, which is compared with the Maxwell theory of electromagnetism. In the first part of the chapter, the properties of gravitational waves, which are the general solution of the linearized vacuum Einstein equations, are studied. Next, it relates these waves to the energy–momentum tensor of the sources creating them. The chapter then turns to the ‘first quadrupole formula’, giving the gravitational radiation field of these sources when their motion is due to forces other than the gravitational force.

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.

Abstract In this article we probe the proposed holographic duality between $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ deformed two dimensional conformal field theory and the gravity theory of AdS3 with a Dirichlet cutoff by computing correlators of energy-momentum tensor. We focus on the large central charge sector of the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ CFT in a Euclidean plane and a sphere, and compute the correlators of energy-momentum tensor using an operator identity promoted from the classical trace relation. The result agrees with a computation of classical pure gravity in Euclidean AdS3 with the corresponding cutoff surface, given a holographic dictionary which identifies gravity parameters with $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ CFT parameters.

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.

The flexoelectricity, which is a new electromechanical coupling phenomenon between strain gradients and electric polarization, has a great influence on the fracture analysis of flexoelectric solids due to the large gradients near the cracks. On the other hand, although the flexoelectricity has been extensively investigated in recent decades, the study on flexoelectricity in nonhomogeneous materials is still rare, especially the fracture problems. Therefore, in this manuscript, the conservation integrals for nonhomogeneous flexoelectric materials are obtained to solve the fracture problem. Application of operators such as grad, div, and curl to electric Gibbs free energy and internal energy, the energy-momentum tensor, angular momentum tensor, and dilatation flux can also be derived. We examine the correctness of the conservation integrals by comparing with the previous work and discuss the operator method here and Noether theorem in the previous work. Finally, considering the flexoelectric effect, a nonhomogeneous beam problem with crack is solved to show the application of the conservation integrals.

The Einstein pseudo-tensor and the flux integral for perturbed static space-times

The flux integral for axisymmetric polar perturbations of static vacuum space-times, derived in an earlier paper directly from the relevant linearized Einstein equations, is rederived with the aid of the Einstein pseudo-tensor by a simple algorism. A similar earlier effort with the aid of the Landau–Lifshitz pseudo-tensor failed. The success with the Einstein pseudo-tensor is due to its special distinguishing feature that its second variation retains its divergence-free property provided only the equations governing the static space-time and its linear perturbations are satisfied. When one seeks the corresponding flux integral for Einstein‒Maxwell space-times, the common procedure of including, together with the pseudo-tensor, the energy‒momentum tensor of the prevailing electromagnetic field fails. But, a prescription due to R. Sorkin, of including instead a suitably defined ‘Noether operator’, succeeds.
