Shear viscosity to entropy density ratio: A powerful tool for gravity theories and strongly coupled fluids

Marilù Chiofalo, Dario Grasso, Stefano Liberati +1

In this perspective review, we present a concise yet multifaceted overview of the pivotal role played by the the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio across various physical co…

The gyroscopic frequency of metric and generalised Brans-Dicke theories: constraints from Gravity Probe-B

Abhinandan Dass, Stefano Liberati

We confront the predicted gyroscopic precession (in particular the geodetic precession) from metric theory with the data provided by the mission, Gravity Probe--B. We find t…

Theory of gravitation theories: a no-progress report

Thomas P Sotiriou, Valerio Faraoni, Stefano Liberati

Already in the 1970s there where attempts to present a set of ground rules, sometimes referred to as a theory of gravitation theories, which theories of gravity should satisfy in o…

Analogue spacetime based on 2-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Silke Weinfurtner, Stefano Liberati, Matt Visser

Analogue spacetimes are powerful models for probing the fundamental physical aspects of geometry - while one is most typically interested in ultimately reproducing the pseudo-Riema…

Deformed Special Relativity as an effective theory of measurements on quantum gravitational backgrounds

R. Aloisio, A. Galante, A. Grillo +3

In this article we elaborate on a recently proposed interpretation of DSR as an effective measurement theory in the presence of non-negligible (albeit small) quantum gravitational…

Sonoluminescence as a QED vacuum effect: Probing Schwinger's proposal

S. Liberati, F. Belgiorno, Matt Visser +1

Several years ago Schwinger proposed a physical mechanism for sonoluminescence in terms of photon production due to changes in the properties of the quantum-electrodynamic (QED) va…
