Linearized warp drive and the energy conditions
Francisco S. N. Lobo, Matt Visser
''Warp drive'' spacetimes are useful as ''gedanken-experiments'' and as a theoretician's probe of the foundations of general relativity. Applying linearized gravity to the weak-fie…
Massive phonon modes from a BEC-based analog model
Matt Visser, Silke Weinfurtner
Two-component BECs subject to laser-induced coupling exhibit a complicated spectrum of excitations, which can be viewed as two interacting phonon modes. We study the conditions req…
Universality of the subsolar mass distribution from critical gravitational collapse
Matt Visser, Nicolas Yunes
Self-similarity induced by critical gravitational collapse is used as a paradigm to probe the mass distribution of subsolar objects. At large mass (solar mass and above) there is w…
Power-laws from critical gravitational collapse: The mass distribution of subsolar objects
Matt Visser, Nicolas Yunes
Critical gravitational collapse and self similarity are used to probe the mass distribution of subsolar objects. We demonstrate that at very low mass the distribution is given by a…
