A note on oscillons: non-negligible metric fluctuations during preheating
Daniel del-Corral, Paolo Gondolo, K. Sravan Kumar +1
The dominant lattice approach to post-inflationary preheating and oscillon formation evolves an inhomogeneous inflaton field on a spatially homogeneous Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson…
Unitary Quadratic Quantum Gravity in 4D
K. Sravan Kumar, João Marto
In quadratic gravity, with a positive Weyl squared coefficient, the extra spin-2 sector is shown to correspond to a dual inverted harmonic oscillator, instead of a ghost. Using the…
Quantum (quadratic) gravity: replacing the massive tensor ghost with an inverted harmonic oscillator-like instability
K. Sravan Kumar, João Marto
The quadratic theory of gravity is the unique renormalizable theory of quantum gravity in 4 dimensions, as proved by K. S. Stelle in 1977. Over the decades, the theory has been und…
A new understanding of Einstein-Rosen bridges
Enrique Gaztañaga, K. Sravan Kumar, João Marto
The formulation of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime, which emerges from the unification of special relativity and quantum mechanics, is based on treating time as a param…
