The search for the gravitational energy-momentum tensor is often qualified as an attempt of looking for ``the right answer to the wrong question''. This position does not seem convincing to us. We think that we have found the right answer…
For classical relativistic field theory in Minkowski space-time, the addition of a superpotential term to a conserved current density is trivial in the sense that it does not modify the local conservation law nor change the conserved…
AGT correspondence gives an explicit expressions for the conformal blocks of $d=2$ conformal field theory. Recently an explanation of this representation inside the CFT framework was given through the assumption about the existence of the…
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…
There are various formulations of energy--momentum tensors for an electromagnetic field in a linear dielectric. The total energy--momentum tensor, comprised of electromagnetic and material components, must be unique. We discuss the…
Motivated by a special consideration in quantum measurement, we present a new improved energy-momentum tensor. The new tensor differs from the traditional canonical and symmetric ones, and can be derived as Nother current from a Lagrangian…
A theory where the gravitational, Maxwell and Dirac fields (mathematically represented as particular sections of a convenient Clifford bundle) are supposed fields in Faraday's sense living in Minkowski spacetime is presented. In our theory…
In the Lagrangian field theory, one gets different identities for different stress energy-momentum tensors, e.g., canonical energy-momentum tensors. Moreover, these identities are not conservation laws of the above-mentioned energy-momentum…
In this paper we prove a Nekhoroshev type theorem for perturbations of Hamiltonians describing a particle subject to the force due to a central potential. Precisely, we prove that under an explicit condition on the potential, the…
The effective Lagrangian and power counting rules for non-relativistic gauge theories are derived via an expansion in $1/c$. It is shown that the $1/c$ expansion leads to an effective field theory which incorporates a multipole expansion.…
We present an explicit momentum space computation of the four-point function of the energy-momentum tensor in 4 spacetime dimensions for the free and conformally invariant theory of a scalar field. The result is obtained by explicit…
The problem of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is among the oldest and the most controversial in macroscopic electrodynamics. In the center of the issue is a dispute about the Minkowski and the Abraham tensors for moving media.…
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 equations of…
We consider the pertubative consistency of inflationary models with features with effective field theory methods. By estimating the size of one-loop contributions to the three-point function, we find the energy scale where their…
General Relativity receives quantum corrections relevant at cosmological distance scales from the conformal scalar degrees of freedom required by the trace anomaly of the quantum stress tensor in curved space. In the theory including the…
That static electric and magnetic fields can store momentum may be perplexing, but is necessary to ensure total conservation of momentum. Simple situations in which such field momentum is transferred to nearby bodies and point charges have…
This paper proposes a toy model where, in the Einstein equations, the right-hand side is modified by the addition of a term proportional to the symmetrized partial contraction of the Ricci tensor with the energy-momentum tensor, while the…
The energy-momentum tensor of Matrix Theory is derived by computing disk amplitudes with one closed string and an arbitrary number of open strings and by taking the DKPS limit. We clarify its relation to the energy-momentum tensor of the…
The electrodynamics with a Chern-Simons term $p_{\mu}A_{\nu}\widetilde{F}^{\mu\nu}$ violates Lorentz and $CPT$ symmetries with a non-vanishing $p_{\mu}$. For a fixed vector $p_{\mu}$, in this paper we point out that the energy-momentum…
