Q2. What are the main conditions that are examined in the paper?
The authors have examined a number of consistency conditions on the commutation relation among the Poincare generators and the stress-tensor components in local field theory.
Q3. What is the simplest symmetric second-rank tensor?
For an arbitrary conserved symmetric second-rank tensor, there are two independent weight functions specifying the vacuum commutator;(01 [PV(x), T"IJ(x')]
Q4. What is the dependence on the four components needed to evaluate the right sides of Eqs.?
The dependence on the four components gov' needed to evaluate the right sides of Eqs. (7), is explicitly exhibited for fields of spin ::;; 1, and seen to be in accord with the requirements for a Hamiltonian formulation of the coupled matter and gravitational fields.
Q5. What is the definite metric for the radIation gauge?
Phys. 7, 10 (1966). '10 This condition includes the radIation gauge formulation of electrodynamics which possesses a positive definite metric and a gauge invariant stress tensor.
Q6. What is the problem with the Lorentz covariance requirement?
In particular, the apparent difficulty that, while the right sides of such relations should vanish in vacuum, they actually involve the un subtracted (nonvanishing in vacuum) stresses or their integrals, was resolved by the Lorentz covariance requirement that (P") = -Atr.
Q7. What is the metric dependent tensor density?
The authors begin with the definition of the stress tensor of a dynamical system as the coefficient of the variation of an external metric in the generally covariant form of its action13 according to oWM = f dxlogll.(x)lr(x), where 'bIlV(x) is the metric dependent symmetric tensor density.
