| Popis: | The current paper is devoted to the investigation of the general form of the energy-momentum pseudotensor (pEMT) and the corresponding superpotential for the wide class of theories. The only requirement for such a theory is the general covariance of the action without any restrictions on the order of derivatives of the independent variables in it or their transformation laws. As a result of the generalized Noether procedure, we obtain a recurrent chain of the equations, which allows one to express canonical pEMT as a divergence of the superpotential. The explicit expression for this superpotential is also given. We discuss the structure of the obtained expressions and the conditions for the derived pEMT conservation laws to be satisfied independently (fully or partially) of the equations of motion. Deformations of the superpotential form for theories with a change of the independent variables in the action are also considered. We apply these results to some interesting particular cases: General Relativity and its modifications, particularly mimetic gravity and Regge-Teitelboim embedding gravity. Comment: LaTeX, 19 pages |
