Two types of finite element spaces on triangles are constructed for div-div conforming symmetric tensors. Besides the normal-normal continuity, the stress tensor is continuous at vertices and another trace involving combination of…
In this article we introduce a natural extension of the well-studied equation for harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds by assuming that the target manifold is equipped with a connection that is metric but has non-vanishing torsion.…
As we know, from the Einstein equations the vanishing of the four-divergence of the (symmetric) energy-momentum tensor follows. This is the case because the fourdivergence of the Einstein tensor (which is also symmetric) vanishes…
In this paper, the geometric properties of the conformal metric are studied and its exact solution of the geodesic deviation equation is presented. We also find out the stress-energy tensor of this geometry and compare it with the usual…

The large $N$ limit of symmetric orbifold theories was recently argued to have an AdS/CFT dual world-sheet description in terms of an $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ WZW model. In previous work the world-sheet state corresponding to the…
Continuing a program of examining the behavior of the vacuum expectation value of the stress tensor in a background which varies only in a single direction, we here study the electromagnetic stress tensor in a medium with permittivity…
We introduce the notion of biconservative hypersurfaces, that is hypersurfaces with conservative stress-energy tensor with respect to the bienergy. We give the (local) classification of biconservative surfaces in 3-dimensional space forms.
Irreducible bilinear tensorial concomitants of an arbitrary complex antisymmetric valence-2 tensor are derived in four-dimensional spacetime. In addition these bilinear concomitants are symmetric (or antisymmetric), self-dual (or…
In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…
The two-point function of the stress tensor operator of a quantum field in de Sitter spacetime is calculated for an arbitrary number of dimensions. We assume the field to be in the Bunch-Davies vacuum, and formulate our calculation in terms…
This article attempts to delineate the roles played by non-dynamical background structures and Killing symmetries in the construction of stress-energy-momentum tensors generated from a diffeomorphism invariant action density. An intrinsic…
I introduce a method to obtain the stress-energy tensor of the perfect fluid by adding a suitable term to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Variation should be understood with respect to the metric.
We propose a model for a finite-size particle detector, which allows us to derive its stress-energy tensor. This tensor is obtained from a covariant Lagrangian that describes not only the quantum field that models the detector,…
In a previous paper, we pointed out how a dimensional analysis of the stress-energy tensor of the gravitational field allows to derive the field equation of General Relativity. In this note, we comment an analogous reasoning in presence of…
In this paper the Feynman Green function for Maxwell's theory in curved space-time is studied by using the Fock-Schwinger-DeWitt asymptotic expansion; the point-splitting method is then applied, since it is a valuable tool for regularizing…
We consider a uniformly luminous radiating sphere and a static black hole located in the center of that sphere. We give analytic formulas for radiation stress-energy tensor components in such a configuration, for the observer located at an…
Inspired by the all-important conformal invariance of harmonic maps on two-dimensional domains, this article studies the relationship between biharmonicity and conformality. We first give a characterization of biharmonic morphisms,…
This paper, in which we develop ideas introduced in \cite{MR}, focuses on \emph{reduction methods} (basically, group actions or, more generally, simmetries) for the bienergy. This type of techniques enable us to produce examples of critical…
It is shown that using Noether's Theorem explicitly employing gauge invariance for variations of the electromagnetic four-potential $A^\mu$ straightforwardly ensures that the resulting electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is symmetric.…
