Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell wormholes in quantum field theory
Ben Kain
Charged Dirac fields minimally coupled to gravity have spherically symmetric wormhole solutions known as Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell (EDM) wormholes. EDM wormholes do not make use of ex…
Are Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell wormholes traversable?
Ben Kain
Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell wormholes are asymptotically flat static wormhole solutions in general relativity that do not make use of exotic matter. The asymmetric static solutions are…
Einstein-Dirac system in semiclassical gravity
Ben Kain
We study the Dirac equation minimally coupled to general relativity using quantum field theory and the semiclassical gravity approximation. Previous studies of the Einstein-Dirac s…
Matter traveling through a wormhole
Karina Calhoun, Brendan Fay, Ben Kain
We revisit the numerical evolution of Ellis-Bronnikov-Morris-Thorne wormholes, which are constructed with a massless real ghost scalar field. For our simulations, we have developed…
Dynamical evolution of fermion-boson stars with realistic equations of state
Joseph E. Nyhan, Ben Kain
Fermion-boson stars are mixtures of the ordinary nuclear matter of a neutron star and bosonic dark matter. We dynamically evolve fermion-boson stars for the first time using a real…
Dynamical evolution of dark matter admixed neutron stars
Troy Gleason, Ben Brown, Ben Kain
We dynamically evolve for the first time dark matter admixed neutron stars with fermionic dark matter. These systems are mixtures of the ordinary nuclear matter of a neutron star a…
