Stress in static force fields and the sign of the D-term

Adam Freese

The sign of the D-term is negative for a variety of hadrons, including the proton and pion. Speculation that this is the result of a mechanical stability condition has persisted de…

Three-dimensional, boost-invariant formalism for systems of relativistically moving constituents

Adam J. Freese, Anne L. Lashbrook, Gerald A. Miller

Light front quantum mechanics in three dimensions can be used to construct boost-invariant wave functions for the internal structure of relativistic systems. The Miller-Brodsky var…

Quantum stress and torsion distributions in the deuteron

Wim Cosyn, Adam Freese, Alan Sosa

Stress distributions in the deuteron are related to form factors of the asymmetric energy-momentum tensor through three-dimensional Fourier transforms. There are eleven such form f…

Reflections on Noether's second theorem and the energy-momentum tensor

Adam Freese

Through symmetry of the action under global spacetime translations, Noether's first theorem infamously entails an energy-momentum tensor (EMT) that is neither symmetric nor gauge-i…

Mechanical form factors and densities of non-relativistic fermions

Adam Freese

The hadron physics community has been actively debating the interpretation of so-called mechanical properties of hadrons. Non-relativistic quantum-mechanical systems like the hydro…

Synchronization effects on rest frame energy and momentum densities in the proton

Adam Freese, Gerald A. Miller

We obtain two-dimensional relativistic densities and currents of energy and momentum in a proton at rest. These densities are obtained at surfaces of fixed light front time, which…
