Energy-momentum Distribution in Static and Non-static Cosmic String Space-times

arXiv:0812.4731 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.064053

Abstract

We elaborate the problem of energy-momentum in general relativity by energy-momentum prescriptions theory. In this regard, we calculate M\oller,Landau-Lifshitz, Papapetrou, Einstein, Bergman, Tolman, and Weinberg's energy-momentum complexes in static and nonstatic cosmic string space-times. We obtain strong coincidences between the results. These coincidences can be considered as an extension of Virbhadra's viewpoint that different energy-momentum prescriptions may provide some basis to define a unique quantity. In addition, our results disagree with Lessner's belief about M\oller's prescription and support the Virbhadra's conclusion about the power of Einstein's prescription.
