On Energy Distribution of Two Space-times with Planar and Cylindrical Symmetries
Considering encouraging Virbhadra's results about energy distribution of
non-static spherically symmetric metrics in Kerr-Schild class, it would be
interesting to study some space-times with other symmetries. Using different
energy-momentum complexes, i.e. M{\o}ller, Einstein, and Tolman, in static
plane-symmetric and cylindrically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell
equations in 3+1 dimensions, energy (due to matter and fields including
gravity) distribution is studied. Energy expressions are obtained finite and
well-defined. calculations show interesting coincidences between the results
obtained by Einstein and Tolamn prescriptions. Our results support the
Cooperstock hypothesis about localized energy.Comment: LaTex, 9 pages: corrected typos, added reference
Energy-momentum Distribution in Static and Non-static Cosmic String Space-times
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.Comment: LaTeX, 5 page: added reference
