It is shown that different pairs of stress-energy and spin tensors of quantum relativistic fields related by a pseudo-gauge transformation, i.e. differing by a divergence, imply different mean values of physical quantities in…
The force on a probe induced by a nonequilibrium medium is in general nongradient. We detail the mechanism of that feature via nonequilibrium response theory. The emergence of nongradient forces is due to a systematic "twist" of the excess…
The pressure tensor (equivalent to the negative stress tensor) at both microscopic and macroscopic levels is fundamental to many aspects of engineering and science, including fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, biophysics, and thermodynamics.…

In turbulent flows, energy flux refers to the transfer of kinetic energy across different scales of motion, a concept that is a cornerstone of turbulence theory. The direction of net energy flux is prescribed by the dimensionality of the…

Non-ideal fluids are generally subject to the occurrence of non-isotropic pressure tensors, whose determination is fundamental in order to characterize their dynamical and thermodynamical properties. This requires the implementation of…

For theories of relativistic matter fields there exist two possible definitions of the stress-energy tensor, one defined by a variation of the action with the coframes at fixed connection, and the other at fixed torsion. These two…
The concept of a non-equilibrium interfacial tension, defined via the work required to deform the system such that the interfacial area is changed while the volume is conserved, is investigated theoretically in the context of the relaxation…
We study fluctuations of pressure in equilibrium for classical particle systems. In equilibrium statistical mechanics, pressure for a microscopic state is defined by the derivative of a thermodynamic function or, more mechanically, through…
Detailed study of the energy and momentum carried by the electromagnetic field can be a source of clues to possible new physics underlying the Maxwell Equations. But such study has been impeded by expressions for the parameters of the…
Inhomogeneous fluids exhibit physical properties that are neither uniform nor isotropic. The pressure tensor is a case in point, key to the mechanical description of the interfacial region. Kirkwood and Buff, and later Irving and Kirkwood,…
We show that the stress-energy tensor has additional terms with respect to the ideal form in states of global thermodynamic equilibrium in flat spacetime with non-vanishing acceleration and vorticity. These corrections are of quantum origin…
Non-ideal fluids are likely to be affected by the occurrence of pressure anisotropy effects, whose understanding for relativistic systems requires knowledge of the energy-momentum tensor. In this paper the case of magnetized jet plasmas at…
