Invariants and conservation laws of physical quantities in Minkowski space

Abstract

It is shown that invariants and relativistically invariant laws of conservation of physical quantities in Minkowski space follow from 4-tensors of the second rank, which are four-dimensional derivatives of 4-vectors, tensor products of 4-vectors and inner products of 4-tensors of the second rank. Two forms of the system of equations of conservation laws for a number of physical quantities in Minkowski space are obtained. The four-dimensional law of conservation of energy-momentum combines the three-dimensional laws of conservation of energy, momentum and angular momentum. The equations of the four-dimensional laws of conservation of physical quantities in explicit or implicit form contain the wave part Based on a system of four-dimensional kinematic conservation equations, the reason for the stability of vortex rings in liquids and gases is explained.
