AC Stark effect or time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect for particle on a ring

Patrick Hinrichs, Douglas Singleton, Nader Inan

We study the effect of a time-varying solenoidal vector potential for a quantum particle confined to a ring. The setup appears to be a time-varying version of the Aharonov-Bohm eff…

At the Edge of Uncertainty: Decoding the Cosmological Constant value with Bose-Einstein Distribution

Ahmed Farag Ali, Nader Inan

We propose that the observed value of the cosmological constant may be explained by a fundamental uncertainty in the spacetime metric, which arises when combining the principle tha…

Signatures of modified gravity from the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect

Kimet Jusufi, Abdelrahman Yasser, Emmanuele Battista +1

To date, no observational confirmation of dark matter particles has been found. In this paper, we put forward an alternative approach to inferring evidence for dark matter through…

Temporal Pound-Rebka experiment as gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect

RY Chiao, NA Inan, DA Singleton +1

One of the classical tests of general relativity is the precision measurements by Pound and Rebka of red-shift/blue-shift of photons in a gravitational field. In this essay, we lay…

Modified gravity/entropic gravity correspondence due to graviton mass

Kimet Jusufi, Ahmed Farag Ali, Abdelrahman Yasser +2

Some time ago, it has been suggested that gravitons can acquire mass in the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking of diffeomorphisms through the condensation of scalar fields [C…

Gravitational Aharonov-Bohm Effect

RY Chiao, NA Inan, M Scheibner +3

We investigate the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect, by placing a quantum system in free-fall around a gravitating body {\it e.g.} a satellite orbiting the Earth. Since the syste…

Unraveling the mystery of the cosmological constant: Does spacetime uncertainty hold the key?

Ahmed Farag Ali, Nader Inan

In addressing the cosmological constant problem, we propose that the discrepancy between the theoretical and observed values can be ascribed to the inherent uncertainty in the spac…

Energy level shift of quantum systems via the electric Aharonov-Bohm effect

RY Chiao, H Hart, NA Inan +4

A novel version of the electric Aharonov-Bohm effect is proposed where the quantum system which picks up the Aharonov-Bohm phase is confined to a Faraday cage with a time varying,…

Maxwellian mirages in general relativity

L. L. Williams, N. Inan

Maxwellian approximations to linear general relativity are revisited in light of relatively recent results on the degrees of freedom in the linear gravitational field. The well-kno…

Combinatorial Analysis of a Subtraction Game on Graphs

Richard Adams, Janae Dixon, Jennifer Elder +3

We define a two-player combinatorial game in which players take alternate turns; each turn consists on deleting a vertex of a graph, together with all the edges containing such ver…
