We give an introduction to, and review of, the energy-momentum tensors in classical gauge field theories in Minkowski space, and to some extent also in curved space-time. For the canonical energy-momentum tensor of non-Abelian gauge fields…
The Bel-Robinson tensor contains many nice mathematical properties and its dominant energy condition is desirable for describing the positive gravitational energy. The dominant property is a basic requirement for the quasi-local mass, i.e.,…
The Bel-Robinson tensor $T_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu}$ was proposed in 1958. The main application of this tensor is for describing gravitational energy. It is known that $T_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu}$ has many nice properties such as being completely…

The energy content of (exact) electromagnetic and gravitational plane waves is studied in terms of super-energy tensors (the Bel, Bel-Robinson and the --less familiar-- Chevreton tensors) and natural observers. Starting from the case of…
For describing the non-negative gravitational energy-momentum in terms of a pure Bel-Robinson type energy-momentum in a quasilocal 2-surface, both the Bel-Robinson tensor $B$ and tensor $V$ are suitable. We found that this Bel-Robinson type…
Several energy-momentum "tensors" of gravitational field are considered and compared in the lowest approximation. Each of them together with energy-momentum tensor of point-like particles satisfies the conservation laws when equation of…
The question of the uniqueness of energy-momentum tensors in the linearized general relativity and in the linear massive gravity is analyzed without using variational techniques. We start from a natural ansatz for the form of the tensor…
We define super-energy tensors for arbitrary physical fields, including the gravitational, electromagnetic and massless scalar fields. We also define super-super-energy tensors, and so on. All these tensors satisfy the so-called "Dominant…
The Bel-Robinson tensor $B$ and the tensor $V$ have the same quasilocal energy-momentum in a small sphere. Using a pseudotensor approach to evaluate the energy-momentum in a half-cylinder, we find that $B$ and $V$ have different values, not…
Using the fact that teleparallel gravity allows a separation between gravitation and inertia, explicit expressions for the gravitational and the inertial energy-momentum densities are obtained. It is shown that, like all other fields of…
The energy of gravitating systems has been an issue since Einstein proposed general relativity: considered to be ill defined, having no proper local density. Energy-momentum is now regarded as \emph{quasi-local} (associated with a closed…
We consider Bel-Robinson-like higher derivative conserved two-index tensors $H_\mn$ in simple matter models, following a recently suggested Maxwell field version. In flat space, we show that they are essentially equivalent to the true…
The gravitational energy-momentum within a small region as determined by two tetrad-teleparallel expressions is evaluated with the aid of an orthonormal frame adapted to Riemann normal coordinates. We find that the gauge current "tensor"…
