Interesting examples of violation of the classical equivalence principle but not of the weak one
Antonio Accioly, Wallace Herdy
The equivalence principle (EP), as well as Schiff's conjecture, are discussed (en passant), and the connection between the EP and quantum mechanics is then briefly analyzed. Two se…
Renormalizability in -dimensional higher-order gravity
A. Accioly, J. de Almeida, G. P. de Brito +1
A simple expression for calculating the classical potential concerning -dimensional gravitational models is obtained through a method based on the generating functional. The pre…
Gravitational "seesaw" and light bending in higher-derivative gravity
Antonio Accioly, Breno L. Giacchini, Ilya L. Shapiro
Local gravitational theories with more than four derivatives have remarkable quantum properties, e.g., they are super-renormalizable and may be unitary in the Lee-Wick sense. There…
Low-energy effects in a higher-derivative gravity model with real and complex massive poles
Antonio Accioly, Breno L. Giacchini, Ilya L. Shapiro
The most simple superrenormalizable model of quantum gravity is based on the general local covariant six-derivative action. In addition to graviton such a theory has massive scalar…
Photon gravitational defection in Lorentz violating scenarios
Antonio Accioly, Gustavo P. de Brito, José Helayël-Neto
The effect of Lorentz symmetry violation in the phenomenon of photon gravitational bending, is investigated. Using a semiclassical approach, where the photon is described by the Ca…
Interparticle potential energy for D-dimensional electromagnetic models from the corresponding scalar ones
Antonio Accioly, José Helayël-Neto, Gilson Correia +3
Using a method based on the generating functional plus a kind of "correspondence principle" --- which acts as a bridge between the electromagnetic and scalar fields --- it is shown…
