Six-Field Rational Extended Thermodynamics of Polyatomic Gases in Curved Spacetime
Luca Gallerani, Andrea Giusti, Andrea Mentrelli +1
We formulate a generally covariant six-field Rational Extended Thermodynamics model (RET) for relativistic polyatomic gases, with the dynamical pressure as the only non-equilib…

New interpretation of the Minkowski limit of gravity
Valerio Faraoni, Luca Gallerani, Alain Maltais-Gosselin +2
It is well-established that the Minkowski limit of pure gravity breaks down, unlike that of full Starobinsky theory . We provide a novel interpretation of t…

Thermal aspects of the anomalous limit of Brans-Dicke gravity
L. Gallerani, A. Giusti, A. Mentrelli +1
Brans-Dicke gravity does not always reduce to General Relativity in the limit for the coupling constant. This anomalous behavior is examined within the formalism of th…
