Vacuum field equation and gravitational field equation

  • gravitational potentail satisfies the following equation (Poisson's equation)

\[\nabla^2 \phi = - 4 \pi G \rho\]

  • \(\rho\) is the matter density
  • in relativity theory, the metric plays the role of gravitational potential



energy-momentum tensor

  • also called as stress-energy tensor
  • describe the densities and flows of energy and momentum
  • all forms of mass-energy can be sources of gravitational fields
  • the stress-energy tensor \(T_{\mu \nu}\) acts as a source of the gravitational field




relativistic Vacuum field equation

relativistic matter field equation

\[R_{\mu \nu} - {1 \over 2}g_{\mu \nu}\,R + g_{\mu \nu} \Lambda = {8 \pi G \over c^4} T_{\mu \nu}\]
