Condensation of area quanta ensembles with quantum statistics in Schwarzschild spacetimes
Ryley McGovern, Seth Major, Trevor Scheuing +1
As is well known, near-horizon (equivalently high acceleration) observers in spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes have a particularly simple form of the quasi-local energy.…
On energy for accelerating observers in black hole spacetimes
Seth A. Major
Quasi-local energies for constantly accelerating observers in Bañados, Teitelboim, and Zanelli (BTZ), Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetimes are derived. The energies…
Discussions about the landscape of possibilities for treatments of cosmic inflation involving continuous spontaneous localization models
Gabriel R. Bengochea, Gabriel León, Philip Pearle +1
In this work we consider a wide variety of alternatives opened when applying the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) dynamical collapse theory to the inflationary era. The de…
An Electrostatic Analogy for Symmetron Gravity
Lillie Ogden, Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur +1
The symmetron model is a scalar-tensor theory of gravity with a screening mechanism that suppresses the effect of the symmetron field at high densities characteristic of the solar…
An analysis of the LIGO discovery based on Introductory Physics
Harsh Mathur, Katherine Jones-Smith, Ashton Lowenstein
Binary black hole mergers are analyzed using concepts from introductory physics. Drawing upon Newtonian mechanics, dimensional considerations, and analogies between gravitational a…
Quantum volume and length fluctuations in a midi-superspace model of Minkowski space
Jeremy Adelman, Franz Hinterleitner, Seth Major
In a (1+1)-dimensional midi-superspace model for gravitational plane waves, a flat space-time condition is imposed with constraints derived from null Killing vectors. Solutions to…
