I was reading this pdf http://research.physics.illinois.edu/Publications/theses/copies/Bandyopadhyay/Chapter_3.pdf

I can show myself that ##\partial_\mu T^{\mu \nu} = 0## and ##\int T^{0 \nu} = \int \Theta^{0 \nu}## if ##T^{\mu \nu} = \Theta^{\mu \nu} + \partial_\alpha B^{\alpha \mu \nu}##. However I'm unable to see how ##T^{\mu \nu}## is related to the actual conserved current (not shown in the PDF) $$\frac{\partial \mathcal L}{\partial (\partial_0 \varphi)} S^{jk} \varphi (x) + (\Theta^{k0}x^j - \Theta^{j0}x^k)$$ Is it hard to show their relation?

No, it is very easy, up to a total divergence (super potential), it is M^{0\mu\nu} = x^{\mu}T^{0\nu} - x^{\nu} T^{0\mu} .
See how the Eq(2.46) was obtained in the attached PDF.

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
