Gravitational energy-momentum density in Bianchi type II space-times

Creators

Description

In this paper, using Einstein, Landau and Lifshitz's energy-momentum complexes both in general relativity and teleparallel gravity, we calculate the total energy distribution (due to matter and fields, including gravitation) associated with locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type II cosmological models. We show that energy densities in these different gravitation theories are the same, so they agree with each other. We obtain the result that the total energy is zero. This result agrees with previous works of Cooperstock and Israelit, Rosen, Johri et al., Banerjee and Sen, Vargas, Aydogdu and Salti. Moreover, our result supports the viewpoints of Albrow and Tryon.
