abstract

In this paper we give a simple proof that when the particle number is conserved, the Lagrangian of a barotropic perfect fluid is $\mathcal{L}_m=-\rho [c^2 +\int P(\rho)/\rho^2 d\rho]$, where $\rho$ is the \textit{rest mass} density and $P(\rho)$ is the pressure. To prove this result nor additional fields neither Lagrange multipliers are needed. Besides, the result is applicable to a wide range of theories of gravitation. The only assumptions used in the derivation are: 1) the matter part of the Lagrangian does not depend on the derivatives of the metric, and 2) the particle number of the fluid is conserved ($\nabla_\sigma (\rho u^\sigma)=0$).

  1. Lagrangian Identity and Mass Evolution of Particle-like Objects in Nonminimally Coupled Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nambu-Goto p-branes satisfy L_[p]=T_[p]/(p+1), so their rest mass scales as f2^{-p/(p+1)} under nonminimal matter-geometry coupling in FLRW cosmologies.

  2. Numerical evaluation of the exact post-Newtonian parameters in Brans-Dicke and entangled relativity theories

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First numerical evaluation of the exact strong-field post-Newtonian parameters in Brans–Dicke and Entangled Relativity: neutron-star deviations up to ~46% from standard values, and dipolar gravitational-wave predictio...

  3. Deviations from the von Laue condition: Implications for the on-shell Lagrangian of particles and fluids

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Deviations from the von Laue condition inside a particle are bounded by its outer energy fraction, so fluid on-shell Lagrangians are nearly equal to the stress-tensor trace except at extreme densities.

  4. Kinetic coupled tachyon: A dynamical system analysis

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A kinetically coupled tachyon dark energy model admits a new stable scaling attractor for a range of coupling and potential parameters, providing a mechanism to keep dark energy and dark matter densities comparable.

  5. Cosmological implications and causality in $f(R, L_{m}, T)$ gravity theory with observational constraints

    gr-qc 2025-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Four f(R,Lm,T) fluid models are fitted to CC+Pantheon+SH0ES data, but the assumed matter conservation contradicts the theory's field equations.

  6. On the perturbed Friedmann equations in Newtonian Gauge

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors derive the Friedmann equations and their first-order perturbations from Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, and show the perturbed equations coincide with general relativity at linear order.
