On interactions of higher spin fields with gravity and branes in AdS_5
Cristiano Germani, Arabella Schelpe
We construct actions of higher spin fields interacting with gravity on AdS_5 backgrounds such that the Compton scattering amplitudes of the interaction are tree-level unitary. We t…
On the Onset of Inflation in Loop Quantum Cosmology
Cristiano Germani, William Nelson, Mairi Sakellariadou
Using a Liouville measure, similar to the one proposed recently by Gibbons and Turok, we investigate the probability that single-field inflation with a polynomial potential can las…
Astrophysical and Cosmological Consequences of the Dynamical Localization of Gravity
Cristiano Germani
In this thesis I review cosmological and astrophysical exact models for Randall-Sundrum-type braneworlds and their physical implications. I present new insights and show their anal…
A Classical Interpretation of Maxwell's Equations in Curved Spacetime
C. Germani, D. Bini, R. T. Jantzen
We present an integral formulation of observer-dependent Maxwell's equations in curved spacetime and give a classical interpretation of them.
