An introduction to quantum gravity
Bryce S. DeWitt, Giampiero Esposito
After an overview of the physical motivations for studying quantum gravity, we reprint THE FORMAL STRUCTURE OF QUANTUM GRAVITY, i.e. the 1978 Cargese Lectures by Professor B.S. DeW…
Spherically symmetric ADM gravity with variable G and Lambda(c)
Giampiero Esposito, Claudio Rubano, Paolo Scudellaro
This paper investigates the Arnowitt--Deser--Misner (hereafter ADM) form of spherically symmetric gravity with variable Newton parameter G and cosmological term Lambda(c). The Newt…
Low noise cryogenic system for the measurement of Casimir energy in rigid cavities
Giuseppe Bimonte, Detlef Born, Enrico Calloni +6
We report on preliminary results on the measurement of variations of the Casimir energy in rigid cavities through its influence on the superconducting transition of in-cavity alumi…
Novel features of the energy momentum tensor of a Casimir apparatus in a weak gravitational field
Giuseppe Bimonte, Enrico Calloni, Giampiero Esposito +1
The influence of the gravity acceleration on the regularized energy-momentum tensor of the quantized electromagnetic field between two plane parallel conducting plates is derived.…
Noether symmetry approach to scalar-field-dominated cosmology with dynamically evolving G and Lambda
Alfio Bonanno, Giampiero Esposito, Claudio Rubano +1
This paper studies the cosmological equations for a scalar field Phi in the framework of a quantum gravity modified Einstein--Hilbert Lagrangian where G and Lambda are dynamical va…
Black hole evaporation in a spherically symmetric non-commutative space-time
Elisabetta Di Grezia, Giampiero Esposito, Gennaro Miele
Recent work in the literature has studied the quantum-mechanical decay of a Schwarzschild-like black hole, formed by gravitational collapse, into almost-flat space-time and weak ra…
