The energy of the universe in teleparallel gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The teleparallel versions of the Einstein and the Landau-Lifshitz energy-momentum complexes of the gravitational field are obtained. By using these complexes, the total energy of the universe, which includes the energy of both the matter and the gravitational fields, is then obtained. It is shown that the total energy vanishes independently of both the curvature parameter and the three dimensionless coupling constants of teleparallel gravity.
