Differential conservation laws in Lagrangian field theory are usually related to symmetries of a Lagrangian density and are obtained if the Lie derivative of a Lagrangian density by a certain class of vector fields on a fiber bundle vanishes. However, only two field models meet this property in fact. In gauge theory of…

One has not any conventional energy-momentum conservation law in Lagrangian field theory, but relations involving different stress-energy-momentum tensors associated with different connections. It is not obvious how to choose the true energy-momentum tensor. This problem is solved in the framework of the multimomentum …

Mathematical framework for field theories on Finsler spacetimes.

This article attempts to delineate the roles played by non-dynamical background structures and Killing symmetries in the construction of stress-energy-momentum tensors generated from a diffeomorphism invariant action density. An intrinsic coordinate independent approach puts into perspective a number of spurious argume…

This text is the extended version of a talk given at the conference Geometry, Topology, QFT and Cosmology hold from May 28 to May 30, 2008 at the Observatoire de Paris. Using exterior differential systems, I provide a positive answer to the generalized isometric embedding problem of vector bundles, and show how conserv…

The paper explores symmetries and conserved charges on pre-symplectic manifolds.

A necessary and sufficient condition for energy-momentum conservation is proved within a topological, pre-metric approach to classical electrodynamics including magnetic as well as electric charges. The extended Lorentz force, consisting of mutual actions by F=(E, B) on the electric current and G=(H, D) on the magnetic…

In this article, we consider the limit of quasi-local conserved quantities [31,9] at the infinity of an asymptotically hyperbolic initial data set in general relativity. These give notions of total energy-momentum, angular momentum, and center of mass. Our assumption on the asymptotics is less stringent than any previo…

This article uses Cartan-Kähler theory to construct local conservation laws from covariantly closed vector valued differential forms, objects that can be given, for example, by harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds. We apply the article's main result to construct conservation laws for covariant divergence free…

We study the divergence theorem on pseudo-Finsler spaces and obtain a completely Finslerian version for spaces having a vanishing mean Cartan torsion. This result helps to clarify the problem of energy-momentum conservation in Finsler gravity theories.

The Dirac field is studied in a Lyra space-time background by means of the classical Schwinger Variational Principle. We obtain the equations of motion, establish the conservation laws, and get a scale relation relating the energy-momentum and spin tensors. Such scale relation is an intrinsic property for matter fields…

We show that the action functional of the nonlinear sigma model with gravitino considered in a previous article [18] is invariant under rescaled conformal transformations, super Weyl transformations and diffeomorphisms. We give a careful geometric explanation how a variation of the metric leads to the corresponding var…

New definitions of conserved quantities at null infinity resolve ambiguities in general relativity.

Based on a general $(1+3)$ threading of the spacetime $(M,g)$, we obtain a new and simple splitting of a both the Einstein field equations (EFE) and the conservation laws in $(M,g)$. As an application we obtain the splitting of (EFE) in an almost FLRW universe with energy-momentum tensor of a perfect fluid. In particul…

For a spacelike 2-surface in spacetime, we propose a new definition of quasi-local angular momentum and quasi-local center of mass, as an element in the dual space of the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group. Together with previous defined quasi-local energy-momentum, this completes the definition of conserved quantities i…

Paper analyzes dynamics of nonholonomic systems with collisions using variational techniques.

On $Spin^c$ manifolds, we study the Energy-Momentum tensor associated with a spinor field. First, we give a spinorial Gauss type formula for oriented hypersurfaces of a $Spin^c$ manifold. Using the notion of generalized cylinders, we derive the variationnal formula for the Dirac operator under metric deformation and po…

The paper proves positive energy-momentum theorems for charged AdS initial data sets.

The paper examines geometric curvatures in generalized Riemannian spaces.

Derives energy-momentum tensor from Standard Model, examines energy conditions.

In Lorentzian manifolds of any dimension the concept of causal tensors is introduced. Causal tensors have positivity properties analogous to the so-called ``dominant energy condition''. Further, it is shown how to build, from ANY given tensor $A$, a new tensor quadratic in $A$ and ``positive'', in the sense that it is …

Study on massless Vlasov equation on Reissner-Nordström spacetimes, showing decay rates and non-decay phenomena.

A purely algebraic construction of super-energy tensors for arbitrary fields is presented in any dimensions. These tensors have good mathematical and physical properties, and they can be used in any theory having as basic arena an n-dimensional manifold with a metric of Lorentzian signature. In general, the completely …

This paper proves a positive energy-momentum theorem for oriented Riemannian 3-manifolds that are asymptotic to a standard hyperbolic slice in anti de Sitter space-time. Analogously to the original Witten's proof in the asymptotically flat case, this result relies on spinorial methods. We also give a rigidity theorem: …

We present an equivariant Liapunov stability criterion for dynamical systems with symmetry. This result yields a simple proof of the energy-momentum-Casimir stability analysis of relative equilibria of equivariant Hamiltonian systems.

Generalizes energy-momentum method for non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems.

When a spacetime takes Bondi radiating metric, and is vacuum and asymptotically flat at spatial infinity which ensures the positive mass theorem, we prove that the standard ADM energy-momentum is the past limit of the Bondi energy-momentum. We also derive a formula relating the ADM energy-momentum of any asymptotically…

New definition of angular momentum avoids supertranslation ambiguity.

This work is devoted to the study of Einstein equations with a special shape of the energy-momentum tensor. Our results continue Stepanov's classification of Riemannian manifolds according to special properties of the energy-momentum tensor to Kähler manifolds. We show that in this case the number of classes reduces.

The paper examines properties of $W$-curvature tensor in relativistic space-times.

New method for studying $t$-dependent Hamilton equations on cosymplectic manifolds.

By using variational calculus and exterior derivative formalism, we proposed in two previous joint papers with S. Siparov a new geometric approach for electromagnetism in pseudo-Finsler spaces. In the present paper, we provide more details, especially regarding generalized currents, the domain of integration and gauge …

We show that it is natural to consider the energy-momentum tensor associated with a spinor field as the second fundamental form of an isommetric immersion. In particular we give a generalization of the warped product construction over a Riemannian manifold leading to this interpretation. Special sections of the spinor …

In a vacuum spacetime equipped with the Bondi's radiating metric which is asymptotically flat at spatial infinity including gravitational radiation ({\bf Condition D}), we establish the relation between the ADM total energy-momentum and the Bondi energy-momentum for perturbed radiative spatial infinity. The perturbatio…

We establish the inequality for Henneaux-Teitelboim's total energy-momentum for asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets which are asymptotic to arbitrary $t$-slice in anti-de Sitter spacetime. In particular, when $t=0$, it generalizes Chruściel-Maerten-Tod's inequality in the center of AdS mass coordinates. We …

Novel method for solving ODEs on k-polysymplectic manifolds.

We show that there are isometrically nonequivalent Robertson-Walker metrics which have the same set of geodesics. While one of these metrics satisfies the Einstein equations of pure dust without a cosmological constant, all the other describe pure dust with additional energy momentum tensor of cosmological constant typ…

Revisits stress-energy tensor in Finsler spacetimes, showing it's anisotropic.

The (twice-contracted) second Bianchi identity is a differential curvature identity that holds on any smooth manifold with a metric. In the case when such a metric is Lorentzian and solves Einstein's equations with an (in this case inevitably smooth) energy-momentum-stress tensor of a "matter field" as the source of sp…

A family of non-radial solutions of the Yamabe equation, with reference the hyperbolic space, is constructed using power series. As a result, we obtain a family of asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, with spherical conformal infinity, with scalar curvature greater than -n(n - 1), but which are a priori not complete. Mor…

On a compact surface endowed with any $\Spinc$ structure, we give a formula involving the Energy-Momentum tensor in terms of geometric quantities. A new proof of a Bär-type inequality for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator is given. The round sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with its canonical $\Spinc$ structure satisfies the …

In this paper, we define an energy-momentum vector at the spatial infinity of either asymptotically flat or asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets carrying a non-compact boundary. Under suitable dominant energy conditions (DECs) imposed both on the interior and along the boundary, we prove the corresponding positi…

We study geometric quantization of the harmonic oscillator in terms of a singular real polarization given by fibres of the energy momentum map.

Study of Bondi-Sachs formalism for massless scalar field with zero cosmological constant.

New proof shows equality in spacetime mass theorem.

We study the limit of quasilocal energy defined in [7] and [8] for a family of spacelike 2-surfaces approaching null infinity of an asymptotically flat spacetime. It is shown that Lorentzian symmetry is recovered and an energy-momentum 4-vector is obtained. In particular, the result is consistent with the Bondi-Sachs e…

In this paper, we extend the Hijazi inequality, involving the Energy-Momentum tensor, for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on $Spin^c$ manifolds without boundary. The limiting case is then studied and an example is given.
