Mass generation and gravity
Mario Novello, Vicente Antunes
Despite the success of the Higgs mechanism to account for the generation of the masses of Standard Model (SM) elementary particles, the ultimate nature and origin of "mass" remain…
Photon propagation in a material medium on a curved spacetime
Amanda Guerrieri, Mario Novello
We consider a nonlinear dielectric medium surrounding a static, charged and spherically symmetric compact body which gravitational field is driven by General Relativity (GR). Consi…
Galaxy rotation curves in the light of the Spinor Theory of Gravity
Mario Novello, Angelo E. S. Hartmann, E. Bittencourt
We analyze the recently obtained static and spherically symmetric solution of the Spinor Theory of Gravity (STG) which, in the weak field limit, presents an effective Newtonian pot…
New dynamical features of pure k-essential cosmologies
Ugo Moschella, Mario Novello
We come back on the dynamical properties of k-essential cosmological models and show how the interesting phenomenological features of those models are related to the existence of b…
A new gravitational black-hole
M. Novello, A. E. S. Hartmann
In a recent paper we have analyzed the Spinor Theory of Gravity (STG) which is based on the intimate relation between Fermi (weak) interaction and gravity. We presented the hypothe…
Gravitational baryogenesis without CPT violation
Vicente Antunes, Ignacio Bediaga, Mario Novello
We show that in theories with nonminimal curvature-matter couplings up to first order in the curvature, baryon number (B) conservation and CP are automatically violated, provided t…
