Cone hierarchy and the screening of matter by gravity
Julio Arrechea, Carlos Barceló, Gil Jannes
In a previous paper by some of the authors (Gen. Rel. Grav. 56, 116, 2024), we introduced a novel paradigm with which to understand gravitational phenomena. We called it the Harmon…
Ultracompact horizonless objects in order-reduced semiclassical gravity
Julio Arrechea, Carlos Barceló, Raúl Carballo-Rubio +1
The backreaction of quantum fields in their vacuum state results in equilibrium structures that surpass the Buchdahl compactness limit. Such backreaction is encapsulated in the vac…
After collapse: On how a physical vacuum can change the black hole paradigm
Julio Arrechea, Carlos Barceló, Valentin Boyanov
Standard General Relativity assumes that, in the absence of classical matter sources, spacetime is empty. This chapter considers and analyses the new behaviours of the gravitationa…
The harmonic background paradigm, or why gravity is attractive
Carlos Barceló, Gil Jannes
In a work by Visser, Bassett and Liberati (VBL) [Nucl. Phys. B (Proc. Suppl.) 88, 267 (2000)] a relation was suggested between a null energy condition and the censorship of superlu…
