K-causality and degenerate spacetimes

H. F. Dowker, R. S. Garcia, S. Surya

The causal relation was introduced by Sorkin and Woolgar to extend the standard causal analysis of spacetimes to those that are only . Most of their results also h…

A Probe Particle in Kerr-Newman-deSitter Cosmos

Tetsuya Shiromizu, Uchida Gen

We consider the force acting on a spinning charged test particle (probe particle) with the mass m and the charge q in slow rotating the Kerr-Newman-deSitter(KNdS) black hole with t…

Black Holes of a Minimal Size in String Gravity

S. O. Alexeyev, M. V. Sazhin, M. V. Pomazanov

A lower limit for a neutral black hole size is obtained in the frames of the string gravity model with the second order curvature correction. It is shown that this effect remains w…

Effective noise in stochastic description of inflation

S. Winitzki, A. Vilenkin

Stochastic description of inflationary spacetimes emulates the growth of vacuum fluctuations by an effective stochastic ``noise field'' which drives the dynamics of the volume-smoo…

Disc sources for Conformastationary metrics

J. Katz, J. Bicak, D. Lynden-Bell

Conformastationary metrics have been derived by Perjes and by Israel and Wilson as source-free solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations. By analogy with the conformastatic metri…

Quadratic Lagrangians and Topology in Gauge Theory Gravity

Antony Lewis, Chris Doran, Anthony Lasenby

We consider topological contributions to the action integral in a gauge theory formulation of gravity. Two topological invariants are found and are shown to arise from the scalar a…

A new form of the Kerr solution

Chris Doran

A new form of the Kerr solution is presented. The solution involves a time coordinate which represents the local proper time for free-falling observers on a set of simple trajector…

The Einstein Equations on the 3-Brane World

Tetsuya Shiromizu, Kei-ichi Maeda, Misao Sasaki

We carefully investigate the gravitational equations of the brane world, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime with…

Gravity Waves, Chaos, and Spinning Compact Binaries

Janna Levin

Spinning compact binaries are shown to be chaotic in the Post-Newtonian expansion of the two body system. Chaos by definition is the extreme sensitivity to initial conditions and a…

Gravity waves from relativistic binaries

Janna Levin, Rachel O'Reilly, E. J. Copeland

The stability of binary orbits can significantly shape the gravity wave signal which future Earth-based interferometers hope to detect. The inner most stable circular orbit has bee…

Quantum inequalities and `quantum interest' as eigenvalue problems

Christopher J. Fewster, Edward Teo

Quantum inequalities (QI's) provide lower bounds on the averaged energy density of a quantum field. We show how the QI's for massless scalar fields in even dimensional Minkowski sp…

Space-times which are asymptotic to certain Friedman-Robertson-Walker space-times at timelike infinity

Tetsuya Shiromizu, Uchida Gen

We define space-times which are asymptotic to radiation dominant Friedman-Robertson-Walker space-times at timelike infinity and study the asymptotic structure. We discuss the local…

Predictability crisis in inflationary cosmology and its resolution

Vitaly Vanchurin, Alexander Vilenkin, Serge Winitzki

Models of inflationary cosmology can lead to variation of observable parameters ("constants of Nature") on extremely large scales. The question of making probabilistic predictions…

Gravoelectromagnetic approach to the gravitational Faraday rotation in stationary spacetimes

Mohammad Nouri-Zonoz

Using the 1+3 formulation of stationary spacetimes we show, in the context of gravoelectromagnetism, that the plane of the polarization of light rays passing close to a black hole…
