ENERGY MOMENTUM PRESCRIPTIONS IN GENERAL SPHERICALLY SYMMETRIC SPACETIMES

In this paper we investigate Einstein, Landau-Lifshitz, Papapetrou, Weinberg, and Moller energy-momentum prescriptions in general spherically symmetric spacetimes. We show that for two special but not unusual classes of general spherically symmetric spacetimes, several energy-momentum prescriptions in Schwarzschild Cartesian coordinates lead to some coincidences in energy distribution. We also obtain that for a special class of spherically symmetric metrics Moller and Einstein energy-momentum prescriptions give the same result for energy distribution if and only if it has a specific dependence on radial coordinate.
