Corvino's construction using Brill waves
Domenico Giulini, Gustav Holzegel
For two-black-hole time-symmetric initial data we consider the Corvino construction of gluing an exact Schwarzschild end. We propose to do this by using Brill waves. We address the…
Einstein's impact on the physics of the twentieth century
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
Starting with Einstein's famous papers of 1905, we review some of the ensuing developments and their impact on present-day physics. We attempt to cover topics that are of interest…
Close encounters of black holes
Domenico Giulini
This is an introduction into the problem of how to set up black hole initial-data for the matter-free field equations of General Relativity. The approach is semi-pedagogical and ad…
Classical Analysis of the van Dam - Veltman Discontinuity
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
We consider the classical theory of a gravitational field with spin 2 and non-vanishing (Pauli-Fierz) mass in flat spacetime, coupled to electromagnetism and point particles. We es…
Decoherence: A dynamical approach to superselection rules?
Domenico Giulini
It is well known that the dynamical mechanism of decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, like that of molecular chirality. These `environment-induced' or `soft' supers…
".. I didn't reflect much on what I was doing.." How Planck discovered his radiation formula
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
On December 14. 1900, Max Planck communicated his derivation of his radiation formula, which he later called ``an act of desperation''. This date is widely recognized as birthday o…
