Distributional Energy-Momentum Densities of Schwarzschild Space-Time

Abstract

For Schwarzschild space-time, distributional expressions of energy-momentum densities and of scalar concomitants of the curvature tensors are examined for a class of coordinate systems which includes those of the Schwarzschild and of Kerr-Schild types as special cases. The energy-momentum density T~μν(x)\tilde T_\mu^{\nu}(x) of the gravitational source and the gravitational energy-momentum pseudo-tensor density t~μν\tilde t_\mu^{\nu} have the expressions T~μν(x)=Mc2δμ0δ0νδ(3)x)\tilde T_\mu^{\nu}(x) =-Mc^2\delta_\mu^0\delta_0^{\nu} \delta^{(3)}x) and t~μν=0\tilde t_\mu^{\nu}=0, respectively. In expressions of the curvature squares for this class of coordinate systems, there are terms like δ(3)(x)/r3\delta^{(3)}(x)/r^3 and [\delta^{(3)}(x)}]^2, as well as other terms, which are singular at x=0x=0. It is pointed out that the well-known expression Rρσμν()Rρσμν()R^{\rho\sigma\mu\nu}({}) R_{\rho\sigma\mu\nu}({}) =48G2M2/c4r6=48G^{2}M^{2}/c^{4}r^{6} is not correct, if we define 1/r6=limϵ01/(r2+ϵ2)31/r^6 = \lim_{\epsilon\to 0}1/(r^2+\epsilon^2)^3.}Comment: 21 pages, LaTeX, uses amssymb.sty.
