How to include fermions into General relativity by exotic smoothness
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, C. H. Brans
This paper is two-fold. At first we will discuss the generation of source terms in the Einstein-Hilbert action by using (topologically complicated) compact 3-manifolds. There is a…
Gravitational sources induced by exotic smoothness and fermions as knot complements
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, Carl H. Brans
In this paper we will discuss Brans conjecture that exotic smoothness serves as an additional gravitational source naturally arising from the handlebody construction of the exotic…
Gravitational sources induced by exotic smoothness
T. Asselmeyer-Maluga, C. H. Brans
In this paper we construct a coordinate atlas in an exotic using Bizaca's construction. The main source for such an atlas is the handle body decomposition of a Cas…
The roots of scalar-tensor theory: an approximate history
Carl H. Brans
Why are there no fundamental scalar fields actually observed in physics today? Scalars are the simplest fields, but once we go beyond Galilean-Newtonian physics they appear only in…
Cosmological anomalies and exotic smoothness structures
Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga, Carl H. Brans
It seems to be generally accepted that apparently anomalous cosmological observations, such as accelerating expansion, etc., necessarily are inconsistent with standard general rela…
Absolute spacetime: the twentieth century ether
Carl H. Brans
All gauge theories need ``something fixed'' even as ``something changes.'' Underlying the implementation of these ideas all major physical theories make indispensable use of an ela…
