Relativistic properties of a Dirac Lagrangian density are compared with those of a Dirac Hamiltonian density. Differences stem from the fact that a Lagrangian density is a Lorentz scalar, whereas a Hamiltonian density is a 00-component of a second rank tensor, called the energy-momentum tensor. This distinction affects the form of an interaction term of a Dirac particle. In particular, a tensor interaction term of a Dirac Lagrangian density transforms to a difference between a vector and an axial vector of the corresponding Hamiltonian density. This outcome shows that fundamental principles can prove the V-A attribute of weak interactions. A further analysis supports these results. Inherent problems of the electroweak theory are discussed.

The successful results of the relativistic form of a quantum field theory that is derived from aLagrangian density justify its general usage. The significance of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a quantum particle is analysed. Many advantages of this approach, like abiding by the conservation laws of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and charge are well known. The merits of this approach also include other properties that are still not well known. For example, it is shown that a quantum function of the form ψ(t, r) describes a pointlike particle. Furthermore, the Lagrangian density and the Hamiltonian density take a different relativistic form – the Lagrangian density is a Lorentz scalar, whereas the Hamiltonian density is the T00 component of the energy-momentum tensor. It is proved that inconsistencies in the electroweak theory stem from negligence of the latter point.

This work discusses the significance of the energy-momentum tensor of physical fields of an elementary particle. The Noether theorem shows how this tensor can be derived from the Lagrangian density of a given field. This work proves that the energy-momentum tensor can also be used for a consistency test of a field theory. The results show that the Dirac Lagrangian density of a spin-1/2 massive particle yields consistent results. On the other hand, problems exist with the present structure of quantum electrodynamics, and with quantum fields of massive particles that are described by a second order differential equation. All problematic results are confirmed by an independent analysis.

We investigate a 2-dimensional model which possesses a local vector U (1)V and axial vector U (1)A symmetry. We obtain a general form of Lagrangian which possesses this local symmetry. We also investigate the global symmetry aspects of the model. The commutator algebra of the energy-momentum tensor and the currents is derived, and the central charge of the model is calculated. Supersymmetric extension of the model is also studied.

The effective action found by Braaten and Pisarski, and by Frenkel, Taylor, and Wong that summarizes all hard thermal loops is investigated. Nonlocal field equations for ψ and Aμ are derived. Nonlocal forms are constructed for the U(1)-vector and axial-vector currents, the SU(N)-vector and axial-vector currents, the energy-momentum tensor, and the angular momentum density.

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.
