    Linked via "Lagrangian density"

    Canonical vs. Believed Stress-Energy Tensors
    In classical field theory, one often defines a canonical stress-energy tensor derived from the Lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}$ via Noether's theorem:
    $$T{\mu\nu}^{\text{canonical}} = \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial (\partial\mu \phia)} \partial\nu \phia - g{\mu\nu} \mathcal{L}$$
