The general set of Noetherian energy-momentum tensors in linearized gravity: mathematical framework

Lydia Beth Taylor, Mark Robert Baker

Energy-momentum tensors are foundational objects which are uniquely defined in standard physical field theories such as electrodynamics and Yang-Mills theory. In general relativity…

GR as a classical spin-2 theory?

Niels Linnemann, Chris Smeenk, Mark Robert Baker

The self-interaction spin-2 approach to general relativity (GR) has been extremely influential in the particle physics community. Leaving no doubt regarding its heuristic value, we…

Noether's first theorem and the energy-momentum tensor ambiguity problem

Mark Robert Baker, Niels Linnemann, Chris Smeenk

Noether's theorems are widely praised as some of the most beautiful and useful results in physics. However, if one reads the majority of standard texts and literature on the applic…

Canonical Noether and the energy-momentum non-uniqueness problem in linearized gravity

Mark Robert Baker

Recent research has highlighted the non-uniqueness problem of energy-momentum tensors in linearized gravity; many different tensors are published in the literature, yet for particu…

A connection between linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity and classical electrodynamics II: Complete dual formulation

Mark Robert Baker

In a recent publication a procedure was developed which can be used to derive completely gauge invariant models from general Lagrangian densities with order of derivatives and…

Noether and Hilbert (metric) energy-momentum tensors are not, in general, equivalent

Mark Robert Baker, Natalia Kiriushcheva, Sergei Kuzmin

Multiple methods for deriving the energy-momentum tensor for a physical theory exist in the literature. The most common methods are to use Noether's first theorem with the 4-parame…
