On the Existence and Uniqueness of Intrinsic Energy in General Relativity

Dominic G. B. Edelen

ResearchPublished 1962

A Memorandum showing that the Einstein field equations uniquely determine an intrinsic energy density in any region of space-time that is occupied by a material medium. The usual procedure of adding conditions to the Einstein theory in order to obtain an analogous intrinsic quantity is thus unnecessary
