It is well-known that classical linear elasticity equations are not form-invariant under local transformations. This is intrinsically related to the inhomogeneity of elastic media. However, the reported new linear elasticity equations for…

Employing the Kubo linear response formalism to calculate the elasticity of anisotropic systems has been shown to yield odd elastic moduli. For Hamiltonian systems, this result seems to be contradictory as it would violate energy…
