Nonlinear Gravitational Waves: Their Form and Effects
R. Aldrovandi, J. G. Pereira, Roldao da Rocha +1
A gravitational wave must be nonlinear to be able to transport its own source, that is, energy and momentum. A physical gravitational wave, therefore, cannot be represented by a so…
The Nonlinear Essence of Gravitational Waves
R. Aldrovandi, J. G. Pereira, K. H. Vu
A critical review of gravitational wave theory is made. It is pointed out that the usual linear approach to the gravitational wave theory is neither conceptually consistent nor mat…
Bringing Together Gravity and the Quanta
R. Aldrovandi, L. C. T. Guillen, J. G. Pereira +1
Due to its underlying gauge structure, teleparallel gravity achieves a separation between inertial and gravitational effects. It can, in consequence, describe the isolated gravitat…
Gravity and the Quantum: Are they Reconcilable?
R. Aldrovandi, J. G. Pereira, K. H. Vu
General relativity and quantum mechanics are conflicting theories. The seeds of discord are the fundamental principles on which these theories are grounded. General relativity, on…
Doing without the Equivalence Principle
R. Aldrovandi, J. G. Pereira, K. H. Vu
In Einstein's general relativity, geometry replaces the concept of force in the description of the gravitation interaction. Such an approach rests on the universality of free-fall-…
Selected Topics in Teleparallel Gravity
R. Aldrovandi, J. G. Pereira, K. H. Vu
Teleparallel gravity can be seen as a gauge theory for the translation group. As such, its fundamental field is neither the tetrad nor the metric, but a gauge potential assuming va…
