Energy and Momentum Densities Associated with Solutions Exhibiting Directional Type Singularities
Abstract
We obtain the energy and momentum densities of a general static axially symmetric vacuum space-time described by the Weyl metric, using Landau-Lifshitz and Bergmann-Thomson energy-momentum complexes. These two definitions of the energy-momentum complex do not provide the same energy density for the space-time under consideration, while give the same momentum density. We show that, in the case of Curzon metric which is a particular case of the Weyl metric, these two definitions give the same energy only when . Furthermore, we compare these results with those obtained using Einstein, Papapetrou and M{\o}ller energy momentum complexes.
