Graviton Creation by Small Scale Factor Oscillations in an Expanding Universe
Enrico D. Schiappacasse, L. H. Ford
We treat quantum creation of gravitons by small scale factor oscillations around the average of an expanding universe. Such oscillations can arise in standard general relativity du…

Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations of a Conformal Field and Inflationary Cosmology
L. H. Ford, S. P. Miao, Kin-Wang Ng +2
We discuss the additional perturbation introduced during inflation by quantum stress tensor fluctuations of a conformally invariant field such as the photon. We consider both a kin…

The Phononic Casimir Effect: An Analog Model
L. H. Ford, N. F. Svaiter
We discuss the quantization of sound waves in a fluid with a linear dispersion relation and calculate the quantum density fluctuations of the fluid in several cases. These include…
