Where is the electrostatic self-energy localized in general relativity?

Carlos Barcelo, Jose Luis Jaramillo

We discuss an alternative way of prescribing the spacetime geometry associated with a non-radiating distribution of charged matter. It is based on the possibility that the electros…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and gravity

Kirill Krasnov

Gravity is usually considered to be irrelevant as far as the physics of elementary particles is concerned and, in particular, in the context of the spontaneous symmetry breaking (S…

Local tuning of Coupling Constants allows for Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetime in the Lab

Isabeau Prémont-Schwarz

In this paper we will investigate how one can create emergent curved spacetimes by locally tuning the coupling constants of condensed matter systems. In the continuum limit we thus…

Cycles in the Multiverse

Matthew C. Johnson, Jean-Luc Lehners

Eternal inflation is a seemingly generic consequence of theories that give rise to accelerated expansion of the universe and possess multiple vacuum states. Making predictions in a…

Ten questions on Group Field Theory (and their tentative answers)

Aristide Baratin, Daniele Oriti

We provide a short and non-technical summary of our current knowledge and some possible perspectives on the group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, in the form of a (part…

Quantum back-reaction in a universe with positive cosmological constant

David Brizuela

Semiclassical techniques have proven to be a very powerful method to extract physical effects from different quantum theories. Therefore, it is expected that in the near future the…

Group Fourier transform and the phase space path integral for finite dimensional Lie groups

Matti Raasakka

We formulate a notion of group Fourier transform for a finite dimensional Lie group. The transform provides a unitary map from square integrable functions on the group to square in…

Non-commutative holonomies in 2+1 LQG and Kauffman's brackets

Karim Noui, Alejandro Perez, Daniele Pranzetti

We investigate the canonical quantization of 2+1 gravity with Λ > 0 in the canonical framework of LQG. A natural regularization of the constraints of 2+1 gravity can be defined in…

Characterization of thermal effects in the Enhanced LIGO Input Optics

K. L. Dooley, M. A. Arain, D. Feldbaum +14

We present the design and performance of the LIGO Input Optics subsystem as implemented for the sixth science run of the LIGO interferometers. The Initial LIGO Input Optics experie…

Resolving multiple supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays

Stanislav Babak, Alberto Sesana

We study the capability of a pulsar timing array (PTA) to individually resolve and localize in the sky monochromatic gravitational wave (GW) sources. Given a cosmological populatio…

Generic effective source for scalar self-force calculations

Barry Wardell, Ian Vega, Jonathan Thornburg +1

A leading approach to the modelling of extreme mass ratio inspirals involves the treatment of the smaller mass as a point particle and the computation of a regularized self-force a…

Quantum Signatures of the Optomechanical Instability

Jiang Qian, A. A. Clerk, K. Hammerer +1

In the past few years, coupling strengths between light and mechanical motion in optomechanical setups have improved by orders of magnitude. Here we show that, in the standard setu…

Consistent truncation of d = 11 supergravity on AdS_4 x S^7

Hermann Nicolai, Krzysztof Pilch

We study the system of equations derived twenty five years ago by B. de Wit and the first author [Nucl. Phys. B281 (1987) 211] as conditions for the consistent truncation of eleven…

Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…

Self-consistent orbital evolution of a particle around a Schwarzschild black hole

Peter Diener, Ian Vega, Barry Wardell +1

The motion of a charged particle is influenced by the self-force arising from the particle's interaction with its own field. In a curved spacetime, this self-force depends on the e…
