Are they the same object?
Last edited:
The discussion centers on the relationship between hypermomentum and the Belinfante-Rosenfeld tensor, exploring whether they represent the same object. The variational theory of perfect fluid with intrinsic hypermomentum, as developed by O. V. Babourova and B. N. Frolov, establishes the Lagrangian density and equations of motion for such fluids. In contrast, the work by Rodrigo Medina and J. Stephany demonstrates that the Belinfante-Rosenfeld tensor provides a generalized center of mass and spin for isolated systems with non-symmetric energy-momentum tensors, indicating that hypermomentum and the Belinfante-Rosenfeld tensor are distinct yet related concepts in the context of general relativity.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, researchers in fluid dynamics, and anyone studying the intersections of general relativity and field theories, particularly in the context of hypermomentum and energy-momentum tensors.
