Neutrino oscillations as a novel probe for a minimal length
Martin Sprenger, Piero Nicolini, Marcus Bleicher
We suggest that the presence of a quantum gravity induced minimal length can be explored using neutrino oscillation probabilities. Neutrinos seem ideally suited for this investigat…
Black holes in an ultraviolet complete quantum gravity
Leonardo Modesto, John W. Moffat, Piero Nicolini
In this Letter we derive the gravity field equations by varying the action for an ultraviolet complete quantum gravity. Then we consider the case of a static source term and we det…
Hausdorff dimension of a particle path in a quantum manifold
Piero Nicolini, Benjamin Niedner
After recalling the concept of the Hausdorff dimension, we study the fractal properties of a quantum particle path. As a novelty we consider the possibility for the space where the…
A noncommutative approach to the cosmological constant problem
Remo Garattini, Piero Nicolini
In this paper we study the cosmological constant emerging from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as an eigenvalue of the related Sturm-Liouville problem. We employ Gaussian trial functio…
Charged rotating noncommutative black holes
Leonardo Modesto, Piero Nicolini
In this paper we complete the program of the noncomutative geometry inspired black holes, providing the richest possible solution, endowed with mass, charge and angular momentum. A…
Enhancement of Compton Scattering by an Effective Coupling Constant
Bernardo Barbiellini, Piero Nicolini
A robust thermodynamic argument shows that a small reduction of the effective coupling constant of QED greatly enhances the Compton scattering cross section and that the Thomso…
