Integrable covariant energy-momentum conservation law for the gravitational field with absolute parallelism structure

G. S. Asanov


Abstract: It is shown that the description of the gravitational field in a Riemannian space-time by means of an absolute parallelism structure makes it possible to formulate a covariant and integrable energy-momentum conservation law of the gravitational field by requiring vanishing of the covariant divergence of the energy-momentum tensor in the sense of absolute parallelism. As a result of allowance for the covariant constraints on the absolute parallelism tetrads, the Lagrangian density ceases to be geometrized and leads to a unique conservation law of such type in the $N$-body problem. From the covariant field equations there also follows the existence of special Euclidean coordinates outside static neighborhoods of gravitating bodies; in these coordinates, which are determined by the absolute parallelism tetrads, the linear approximation is not associated with noncovariant assumptions.
