Oai282-B@1#def:stressclass
The admissible class consists of symmetric rank-two tensor fields satisfying all of the following:
is a finite vacuum-normal-ordered local polynomial in and its derivatives, on the declared free field domain.
Its coefficients are constant, with no new dimensionful parameter or coordinate-dependent coefficient.
It is Poincare covariant and parity even; tensor coefficients are built from .
Every monomial has engineering dimension four, with and .
It is conserved on the free shell.
Expressions are identified by the actual free field equation and normal-product identities, not by their presentation labels.
