Comparison of two field theoretical forms of gravitational wave   equations
  In the lowest nonlinear approximation I compare two gravitational wave equations,- those of Weinberg and Papapetrou. The first one is simply a form of Einstein equation and the second is claimed to be yet another field theoretical form in which the energy-momentum tensor is obtained by Belinfante or Rosenfeld method. I show that for interacting gravitational field these methods lead to different energy-momentum tensors. Both these tensors need to be complemented "by hand" with some interaction energy-momentum tensors in order that the conservation laws of the total energy-momentum tensor give equation of motion for particles in agreement with general relativity. In approximation considered by Thirring, the Papapetrou wave equation must coincide with that of Thirring. But they differ because Thirring inserted the necessary interaction term. I show that Thirring wave equation is equivalent to Weinberg's one. Hence the Papapetrou equation is not yet another form of Einstein equation.
