Dixon's extended bodies and weak gravitational waves
Donato Bini, Christian Cherubini, Andrea Geralico +1
General relativity considers Dixon's theory as the standard theory to deal with the motion of extended bodies in a given gravitational background. We discuss here the features of t…
Extended bodies with quadrupole moment interacting with gravitational monopoles: reciprocity relations
Donato Bini, Christian Cherubini, Simonetta Filippi +1
An exact solution of Einstein's equations representing the static gravitational field of a quasi-spherical source endowed with both mass and mass quadrupole moment is considered. I…
pair creation by vacuum polarization around electromagnetic black holes
C. Cherubini, A. Geralico, J. Rueda +1
The concept of "dyadotorus" was recently introduced to identify in the Kerr-Newman geometry the region where vacuum polarization processes may occur, leading to the creation of $e^…
Wave-train induced unpinning of weakly anchored vortices in excitable media
Alain Pumir, Sitabhra Sinha, S. Sridhar +6
A free vortex in excitable media can be displaced and removed by a wave-train. However, simple physical arguments suggest that vortices anchored to large inexcitable obstacles cann…
