Abstract

We shall now discuss the requirement III of finite energy-momentum, briefly mentioned in the previous section.

Clearly, the possibility of using solutions of non-linear field equations for the description of physical systems requires that such solutions have finite energy-momentum, and the localization properties of the physical measurements requires the existence of an energy-momentum density.
