We then use the resulting action to obtain the nonlocal correction to the energy-momentum tensor. At leading order, we find that this nonlocal correction modified the virial current when the scalar field is minimally coupled to gravity. On the contrary, it only corrects the traceless part of the energy-momentum tensor in the classically Weyl invariant case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-07T06:16:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energy-momentum tensor", "non-local correction", "dimensions", "nonlocal correction", "leading-order nonlocal quantum correction" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3716-y", "journal": "European Physical Journal C", "year": 2015, "month": "Oct", "volume": 75, "pages": 486 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015EPJC...75..486W", "inspire": 1367328 } } }
