Steering a warp drive without exotic matter
An T. Le
The paper presents a theoretical construction of a compact, positive‑energy warp‑drive‑like propulsion system that accelerates using photon‑rocket recoil without requiring exotic (…

On the boundary cost of source-consistent warp shells
An T. Le
We study classical energy-condition admissibility for subluminal, positive-energy warp shells. For the constructions examined here, the energy-condition failures are localized at t…

Rarity of rocket-driven Penrose extraction in Kerr spacetime
An T. Le
We study rocket-driven Penrose extraction in the test-particle limit on a fixed Kerr background for equatorial prograde flybys under explicit steering prescriptions. A spacecraft e…
