Tractor beams, pressor beams, and stressor beams within the context of general relativity

Matt Visser, Jessica Santiago, Sebastian Schuster

Both traversable wormholes and warp drives, concepts originally developed within the context of science fiction, have now (for some 30 odd years) been studied, debated, and careful…

On the Connections between Thermodynamics and General Relativity

Jessica Santiago

In this thesis, the connections between thermodynamics and general relativity are explored. We review the concept of gravitationally induced temperature gradients in equilibrium st…

Evading the Trans-Planckian problem with Vaidya spacetimes

Ivan Booth, Bradley Creelman, Jessica Santiago +1

Hawking radiation, when treated in the ray optics limit, exhibits the unfortunate trans-Planckian problem --- a Hawking photon near spatial infinity, if back-tracked to the immedia…

Tolman-like temperature gradients in stationary spacetimes

Jessica Santiago, Matt Visser

It is (or should be) well known that specification of a heat bath requires both a temperature and a 4-velocity, the rest frame of the heat bath. In static spacetimes there is a ver…

Gravity's universality: The physics underlying Tolman temperature gradients

Jessica Santiago, Matt Visser

We provide a simple and clear verification of the physical need for temperature gradients in equilibrium states when gravitational fields are present. Our argument will be built in…

Tolman temperature gradients in a gravitational field

Jessica Santiago, Matt Visser

Tolman's relation for the temperature gradient in an equilibrium self-gravitating general relativistic fluid is broadly accepted within the general relativity community. However, t…
