ENERGY–MOMENTUM IN VISCOUS KASNER-TYPE UNIVERSE IN BERGMANN–THOMSON FORMULATIONS

Abstract

Using the Bergmann–Thomson energy–momentum complex and its tele-parallel gravity version, we obtain the energy and momentum of the universe in viscous Kasner-type cosmological models. The energy and momentum components (due to matter plus field) are found to be zero and this agree with a previous work of Rosen and Johri et al. who investigated the problem of the energy in Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe. The result that the total energy and momentum components of the universe in these models is zero supports the viewpoint of Tryon. Rosen found that the energy of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space–time is zero, which agrees with the studies of Tryon.
