Running of the Spectral Index and Violation of the Consistency Relation Between Tensor and Scalar Spectra from trans-Planckian Physics
A. Ashoorioon, J. L. Hovdebo, R. B. Mann
One of the firm predictions of inflationary cosmology is the consistency relation between scalar and tensor spectra. It has been argued that such a relation -if experimentally conf…
Expanding the Area of Gravitational Entropy
R. B. Mann
I describe how gravitational entropy is intimately connected with the concept of gravitational heat, expressed as the difference between the total and free energies of a given grav…
Chaos in a Relativistic 3-body Self-Gravitating System
F. J. Burnell, R. B. Mann, T. Ohta
We consider the 3-body problem in relativistic lineal gravity and obtain an exact expression for its Hamiltonian and equations of motion. While general-relativistic effects yield m…
Dynamical N-body Equlibrium in Circular Dilaton Gravity
R. Kerner, R. B. Mann
We obtain a new exact equilibrium solution to the N-body problem in a one-dimensional relativistic self-gravitating system. It corresponds to an expanding/contracting spacetime of…
Exact Charged 2-Body Motion and the Static Balance Condition in Lineal Gravity
R. B. Mann, T. Ohta
We find an exact solution to the charged 2-body problem in dimensional lineal gravity which provides the first example of a relativistic system that generalizes the Majumda…
Statistical Mechanics of Relativistic One-Dimensional Self-Gravitating Systems
R. B. Mann, P. Chak
We consider the statistical mechanics of a general relativistic one-dimensional self-gravitating system. The system consists of -particles coupled to lineal gravity and can be c…
