We all know that the energy-momentum tensor for dust is just Tαβ=ρ0vαvβ, where ρ0 is the mass density in the dust's rest frame and vα is the dust's four-velocity. I'm trying to derive the dust energy momentum tensor from the equation Tαβ=−2√−gδSMδgαβ but I'm getting the wrong answer.
The action for dust is
S=∫−ρ0√−gd4x.
Thus
δSδgαβ=δ(−ρ0)δgαβ√−g−ρ0δ√−gδgαβ.
To evaluate δ(−ρ0)δgαβ, I define Kα=ρ0vα. Then ρ0=√gαβKαKβ and thus δρ0=12ρ0KαKβδgαβ. It follows that Tαβ=ρ0vαvβ−ρ0gαβ.
There's an extra term that I can't get rid of. Any idea where I went wrong?
