Abstract: The Hadamard variational formula for the Green function is formulated in terms of a polarized energy-momentum tensor and a strain tensor. This is elaborated in a general setting of subdomains of a Riemannian manifold in arbitrary dimension and linked to the way the energy-momentum tensor in general field theory appears as a result of varying the metric tensor in a Lagrangian function.
