Everything about Stress-energy-momentum Pseudotensor totally explained

In the theory of general relativity, the stress-energy-momentum pseudotensor or Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensor allows the energy-momentum of a system of gravitating matter to be defined; in particular it allows the total matter plus the gravitating energy-momentum to form a conserved current within the framework of general relativity, so that the total energy-momentum crossing the hypersurface of any closed space-time hypervolume vanishes. The use of the Landau-Lifshitz combined matter+gravitational stress-energy-momentum pseudotensor allows the energy-momentum conservation laws to be extended into general relativity. Subtraction of the matter stress-energy-momentum tensor from the combined pseudotensor results in the gravitational stress-energy-momentum pseudotensor. Some people object to this derivation on the grounds that pseudotensors are inappropriate objects in general relativity, but this treatment only requires the use of the 4-divergence of a pseudotensor which is, in this case, a tensor. On the other hand, most pseudotensors are sections of jet bundles, which are perfectly valid objects in GR.

Definition and properties of the Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensor

Landau & Lifshitz were led by four requirements in their search for a gravitational energy momentum pseudotensor, t_ = 0, which demonstrates the delocalisation of gravitational energy-momentum.Further Information
