Axion electrodynamics is based upon the Lagrangian of the electromagnetic (EM) field plus its interaction with the axions, and is accordingly a physically open system. It means that the four-divergence of the EM energy-momentum tensor is…

We investigate the energy of a theory with a unit vector field (the "aether") coupled to gravity. Both the Weinberg and Einstein type energy-momentum pseudotensors are employed. In the linearized theory we find expressions for the energy…
We study the dynamical description of gravity, the appropriate definition of the scalar field energy-momentum tensor, and the interrelation between them in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. We show that the quantity which one would naively…
We discuss the different possibilities of constructing the various energy-momentum tensors for noncommutative gauge field models. We use Jackiw's method in order to get symmetric and gauge invariant stress tensors--at least for commutative…
The energy conditions of general relativity permit one to deduce very powerful and general theorems about the behaviour of strong gravitational fields and cosmological geometries. However, the energy conditions these theorems are based on…
In this paper, we examined the viability bounds of a higher derivative $f(R,\Box R, T)$ theory through analyzing energy conditions (where $R$ and $T$ are the Ricci scalar and trace of energy momentum tensor, respectively). We take flat…

The energy conditions play an important role in the understanding of several properties of the Universe, including the current accelerating expansion phase and the possible existence of the so-called phantom fields. We show that the…
We compute the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor of a real scalar field in an approximation which accounts for spacetime gradients of the hydrodynamical variables in local thermodynamical equilibrium. We show that the…
The Hamiltonian formulation of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity without gauge fixing has recently been established in terms of the Hamiltonian constraint and a set of six primary constraints. Altogether, they constitute a…
We compute all the gravitational form factors in the scalar diquark model at the one-loop level using two different regularization methods. We check explicitly that all the Poincar\'e sum rules are satisfied and we discuss in detail the…
Moller's tetrad gravitational energy-momentum "tensor" is evaluated for a small vacuum region using an orthonormal frame adapted to Riemann normal coordinates. We find that it does satisfy the highly desired property of being a positive…
The Abraham--Minkowski momentum controversy is the outwardly visible symptom of an inconsistency in the use of the energy-momentum tensor in the case of a plane quasimonochromatic field in a simple linear dielectric. We show that the Gordon…
We construct the energy-momentum tensor of the O(N) linear sigma model explicitly in the large N limit using the exact renormalization group (ERG) formalism. The energy-momentum tensor is obtained as a cutoff dependent functional of N…
