Abstract: We shall investigate the consequences of non-trivial Weyl geometries on conservation laws of a fluid. In particular we shall obtain a set of properties which allow to obtain in this generalized setting the standard relation between conservation of the energy-momentum tensor and number of particles.

Review text

It is shown how one could consider a matter fluid on Minkowski spacetime, generating a gravitational field which is encoded in a curved Weyl connection which is compatible with the flat Minkowski metric. The authors investigate how the system behaves from the viewpoint of its stress tensors and its relation to conservation laws and geodesics. The relation between the conservation of the number of particles is related to the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor.
