Surface Tension and Negative Pressure Interior of a Non-Singular `Black Hole'

Pawel O. Mazur, Emil Mottola

The constant density interior Schwarzschild solution for a static, spherically symmetric collapsed star has a divergent pressure when its radius .…

An Optical Geometry Perspective on the Emerging Conformal Field Theory Behavior on the Cosmological Event Horizon: Massless Fermions on de Sitter Space

Pawel O. Mazur, Pawel J. Morawiec

We have investigated the emerging conformal field theory behavior on the interior interface of the region near the cosmological event horizon on an example of massless Dirac fermio…

Conformal Invariance, Dark Energy, and CMB Non-Gaussianity

Ignatios Antoniadis, Pawel O. Mazur, Emil Mottola

In addition to simple scale invariance, a universe dominated by dark energy naturally gives rise to correlation functions possessing full conformal invariance. This is due to the m…

Laboratory constraints on chameleon dark energy and power-law fields

Jason H. Steffen, Amol Upadhye, Al Baumbaugh +5

We report results from the GammeV Chameleon Afterglow Search---a search for chameleon particles created via photon/chameleon oscillations within a magnetic field. This experiment i…

Superfluidity and Stationary Space-Times

George Chapline, Pawel O. Mazur

A connection between superfluidity and gravitation is established for physical stationary gravitational fields. We show that the spinning cosmic string metric describes the gravita…

Stability of Exponential Tails in the Scattering on Wedges and Impurities

Yakir Aharonov, Pawel O. Mazur

We study a simple exactly solvable 2D model describing the interaction of a localized particle with an impurity. The localization potential causes the particle to be…
