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…

Towards a causal effective thermodynamics of scalar-tensor gravity

Narayan Banerjee, Andrea Giusti, Valerio Faraoni +2

The thermal analogy between the effective fluid of scalar-tensor gravity and Eckart's irreversible thermodynamics is extended to the causal Israel-Stewart model, adopting the minim…

Quantum dust cores of black holes and their quasi-normal modes

Tommaso Bambagiotti, Luca Gallerani, Andrea Mentrelli +2

The quantum description of a gravitationally collapsed ball of dust proposed in Ref.~\cite{Casadio:2023ymt} is characterised by a linear effective Misner-Sharp-Hernandez mass funct…

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…

Mass (re)distribution for quantum dust cores of black holes

L. Gallerani, A. Mentrelli, A. Giusti +1

The collective ground state for a spherical symmetric dust ball has been investigated recently in [R. Casadio, Phys. Lett. B 843 (2023) 138055]. In this study, we refine that model…

Alternative formulations of the thermodynamics of scalar-tensor theories

Luca Gallerani, Marcello Miranda, Andrea Giusti +1

We explore alternative formulations of the analogy between viable Horndeski gravity and Eckart's first-order thermodynamics. We single out a class of identifications for the effect…
