Acceleration without Temperature
Alaric Doria, Gerardo Munoz
We show that while some non-uniformly accelerating observers (NUAOs) do indeed see a Bose-Einstein distribution of particles for the expectation value of the number operator in the…
Acceleration without Horizons
Alaric Doria, Gerardo Munoz
We derive the metric of an accelerating observer moving with non-constant proper acceleration in flat spacetime. With the exception of a limiting case representing a Rindler observ…
Field localization and Nambu Jona-Lasinio mass generation mechanism in an alternative 5-dimensional brane model
Preston Jones, Gerardo Munoz, Douglas Singleton +1
We consider a 5-dimensional brane world model with a single brane which is distinct from the well known Randall-Sundrum model. We discuss the similarities and differences between o…
A Challenge to Entropic Gravity
Jonathan J. Roveto, Gerardo Munoz
In a recent publication in this journal, Erik Verlinde attempts to show that gravity should be viewed not as a fundamental force, but rather as an emergent thermodynamic phenomenon…
The equivalence principle, uniformly accelerated reference frames, and the uniform gravitational field
Gerardo Munoz, Preston Jones
The relationship between uniformly accelerated reference frames in flat spacetime and the uniform gravitational field is examined in a relativistic context. It is shown that, contr…
