Hydrostatic equilibrium and stellar structure in f(R)-gravity

S. Capozziello, M. De Laurentis, S. D. Odintsov +1

We investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium of stellar structure by taking into account the modi- fied Laé-Emden equation coming out from f(R)-gravity. Such an equation is obtained…

Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories

S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136

Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…

Black hole dynamical evolution in a Lorentz-violating spacetime

S. Esposito, G. Salesi

We consider the black hole dynamical evolution in the framework of a Lorentz-violating spacetime endowed with a Schwarzchild-like momentum-dependent metric. Large deviations from t…

Cosmography of f(R) - brane cosmology

Mariam Bouhmadi-Lopez, Salvatore Capozziello, Vincenzo F. Cardone

Cosmography is a useful tool to constrain cosmological models, in particular dark energy models. In the case of modified theories of gravity, where the equations of motion are gene…

Correspondence between Jordan-Einstein frames and Palatini-metric formalisms

Salvatore Capozziello, Farhad Darabi, Daniele Vernieri

We discuss the conformal symmetry between Jordan and Einstein frames considering their relations with the metric and Palatini formalisms for modified gravity. Appropriate conformal…

Calibration and sensitivity of the Virgo detector during its second science run

The Virgo Collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +175

The Virgo detector is a kilometer-length interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). During its second science run (VSR2) in 2009, six months of data…

The gravity of light

G. Sparano, G. Vilasi, S. Vilasi

A solution of the old problem raised by Tolman, Ehrenfest, Podolsky and Wheeler, concerning the lack of attraction of two light pencils "moving parallel", is proposed, considering…

Testing metric-affine f(R)-gravity by relic scalar gravitational waves

S. Capozziello, R. Cianci, M. De Laurentis +1

We discuss the emergence of scalar gravitational waves in metric-affine f(R)-gravity. Such a component allows to discriminate between metric and metric-affine theories The intrinsi…

Quantum Corrections in the Group Field Theory Formulation of the EPRL/FK Models

Thomas Krajewski, Jacques Magnen, Vincent Rivasseau +2

We investigate the group field theory formulation of the EPRL/FK spin foam models. These models aim at a dynamical, i.e. non-topological formulation of 4D quantum gravity. We intro…

Characterization of the seismic environment at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, South Dakota

Jan Harms, Fausto Acernese, Fabrizio Barone +18

An array of seismometers is being developed at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, the former Homestake mine, in South Dakota to study the properties of underground seismic fields…

Equivalence between Palatini and metric formalisms of f(R)-gravity by divergence free current

Salvatore Capozziello, Farhad Darabi, Daniele Vernieri

The equivalence between metric and Palatini formalisms in f(R)-gravity can be achieved in the general context of theories with divergence free current. This equivalence is a necess…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO and Virgo Data from S5 and VSR1

the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

We report the results of the first search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence using data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Five months of data were collected d…

Astrophysical structures from primordial quantum black holes

S. Capozziello, G. Cristofano, M. De Laurentis

The characteristic sizes of astrophysical structures, up to the whole observed Universe, can be recovered, in principle, assuming that gravity is the overall interaction assembling…

Stability of the Einstein Static Universe in open cosmological models

Rosangela Canonico, Luca Parisi

The stability properties of the Einstein Static solution of General Relativity are altered when corrective terms arising from modification of the underlying gravitational theory ap…

Physical non-equivalence of the Jordan and Einstein frames

S. Capozziello, P. Martin-Moruno, C. Rubano

We show, considering a specific f(R)-gravity model, that the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame are physically non-equivalent, although they are connected by a conformal transform…

The Cauchy problem for metric-affine f(R)-gravity in presence of a Klein-Gordon scalar field

S. Capozziello, S. Vignolo

We study the initial value formulation of metric-affine f(R)-gravity in presence of a Klein-Gordon scalar field acting as source of the field equations. Sufficient conditions for t…

Comparing scalar-tensor gravity and f(R)-gravity in the Newtonian limit

S. Capozziello, A. Stabile, A. Troisi

Recently, a strong debate has been pursued about the Newtonian limit (i.e. small velocity and weak field) of fourth order gravity models. According to some authors, the Newtonian l…
