Title: Tensor Fields, Generators of the PoincarÉ Group, and the Dirac-Schwinger Condition
Abstract: Given a conserved tensor field ${f}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}(x)$, we formulate a simple set of conditions under which ${f}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}$ can be used in place of the symmetric stress-energy tensor ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}$ to construct the generators of the Poincar\'e group. We make a comparison with the Dirac-Schwinger condition, and we discuss the relevance of the result to Sugawara's theory of currents.
