Applications of the lichnerowicz Laplacian to stress energy tensors

A generalization of the Laplacian for <em>p</em>-forms to arbitrary tensors due to Lichnerowicz will be applied to a 2-tensor which has physical applications. It is natural to associate a divergencefree symmetric 2-tensor to a critical point of a specific variational problem and it is th...
