Classical Aspects of Accelerated Unruh-DeWitt Type Monopole Detectors
Shih-Yuin Lin
We have shown the classical correspondence of Unruh effect in the classical relativistic electron theory in our previous work (gr-qc/0105051). Here we demonstrate the analogy betwe…
Classical Correspondence of Unruh Effect
Shih-Yuin Lin
Derived from semi-classical quantum field theory in curved spacetime, Unruh effect was known as a quantum effect. We find that there does exist a classical correspondence of this e…
Generalized Scale Invariant Gravity
Shih-Yuin Lin, Kin-Wang Ng
We generalize the scale invariant gravity by allowing a negative kinetic energy term for the classical scalar field. This gives birth to a new scalar-tensor theory of gravity, in w…
Dynamically Broken Scale Invariance and Cosmology
Shih-Yuin Lin, Kin-Wang Ng
A new scalar-tensor theory of gravity induced by dynamically broken scale invariance is proposed, and its cosmological implications are discussed. It is found that the model admits…
