Theory Of Gravity

We investigate the weak-field limit of scalar-tensor theory of gravity and show that results are directly depending on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. In particular, corrections are derived for the Newtonian potential. We discuss astrophysical applications of the results, in particular the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.

Recombination Epoch

We study the Quantum Faraday rotation starting from the photon self-energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field. The Faraday angle is calculated in the non-degenerate regime and for weak field limit. Two physical scenarios, possibly characterized by these conditions, are the recombination epoch and the jets originated in pulsars. We discuss the resonant behavior that the Faraday angle exhibits in these scenarios and investigate the possibility of detecting cosmic magnetic fields through this resonant mechanism.
