N-body Gravity and the Schroedinger Equation
P. S. Farrugia, R. B. Mann, T. C. Scott
We consider the problem of the motion of bodies in a self-gravitating system in two spacetime dimensions. We point out that this system can be mapped onto the quantum-mechanica…
Perturbative Quantum Gravity Coupled to Particles in (1+1)-Dimensions
R. B. Mann, M. B. Young
We consider the problem of (1+1)-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to particles. Working with the canonically reduced Hamiltonian, we obtain its post-Newtonian expansion for two…
Accelerating Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson solitons in four dimensions
Brenda Chng, Robert Mann, Cristian Stelea
We construct new solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations in four dimensions via a solution generating method utilizing the SL(2,R) symmetry of the reduced Lagrangian. We a…
Higher Gauge Theory and Gravity in (2+1) Dimensions
R. B. Mann, Eugeniu M. Popescu
Non-abelian higher gauge theory has recently emerged as a generalization of standard gauge theory to higher dimensional (2-dimensional in the present context) connection forms, and…
Covariant Counterterms and Conserved Charges in Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes
Robert B. Mann, Donald Marolf, Amitabh Virmani
Recent work has shown that the addition of an appropriate covariant boundary term to the gravitational action yields a well-defined variational principle for asymptotically flat sp…
Black hole formation in the head-on collision of ultrarelativistic charges
Hirotaka Yoshino, Robert B. Mann
We study black hole formation in the head-on collision of ultrarelativistic charges. The metric of charged particles is obtained by boosting the Reissner-Nordström spacetime to the…
Tunnelling, Temperature and Taub-NUT Black Holes
Ryan Kerner, R. B. Mann
We investigate quantum tunnelling methods for calculating black hole temperature, specifically the null geodesic method of Parikh and Wilczek and the Hamilton-Jacobi Ansatz method…
