Abstract
General classical theories of material fields in an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space are considered. For these theories, with the help of equations of balance, new non-trivially generalized, manifestly generally covariant expressions for canonical energy-momentum and spin tensors are constructed in the cases when a Lagrangian contains (a) an arbitrary set of tensorial material fields and their covariant derivatives up to the second order, as well as (b) the curvature tensor and (c) the torsion tensor with its covariant derivatives up to the second order. A non-trivial manifestly generally covariant generalization of the Belinfante symmetrization procedure, suitable for an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space, is carried out. A covariant symmetrized energy-momentum tensor is constructed in a general form.
