Abstract

The relations between an energy–momentum tensor and its corresponding energy–momentum four-vector are discussed. A particular emphasis is put on conditions guaranteeing that spatial integrals of the energy–momentum densities pertain to a true four-vector. Cases where such integrals are not components of a true four-vector are analyzed and the usefulness of the notion of a false four-vector is pointed out. Results are used for explaining Lorentz transformation properties of “hidden momentum.”
