On the Foundation of Space and Time by Quantum-Events

The true nature of space and time has been a topic of natural philosophy, passed down since the presocratic era. In modern times reflection has particularly been inspired by the physical theories of Newton and Einstein and, more recently, by the quest for a theory of quantum gravity. In this paper we want to specify the idea that material systems and their spatio-temporal distances emerge from quantum-events. We will show a mechanism, by which quantum-events induce a metric field between material systems, which is governed by Einstein's equation including a cosmological constant.

Relation between Schrödinger’s Equation and Einstein’s Equation

The relationship between Einstein's Field Equation and Schrodinger's Equation is examined in thiswork. I adjusted Schrodinger's Equation to offer the solution, and utilizing the wave equation, Icame up with two cases: In case 1, I discovered the structure and dimension of the equations in amanner similar to Einstein's Field Equation, and in case 2, the Helmholtz equation replaces themodified Schrodinger's equation. Finally, the findings suggested that wave functions may haverelevance beyond determining the position of a particle, and that they may be used to determinethe structure of space-time at the quantum level.

Force, metric, or mass: Disambiguating causes of uniform gravity

In addition to nonzero forces and nontrivial metrics, here I show that a nonconstant Higgs expectation value, which endows elementary particles with their masses, also leads to apparent universal particle accelerations and photon frequency shifts. When effects of the Higgs is attributed to spacetime curvatures, a spurious stress-energy tensor is required in Einstein’s equation. On cosmological scales, the spurious density coincides with the observed dark energy density. On smaller scales, effects of the Standard Model Higgs gradients are unlikely observable except near compact astrophysical bodies. To estimate the experimental precision required to disambiguate causes of apparent accelerations, I compare distinct effects of the force, metric, and Higgs profiles that cause uniform acceleration of a test particle. When the acceleration is caused by a force, the motion of all particles are hyperbolic with the same acceleration. However, when the cause is a metric, only a one-parameter family of particles undergo hyperbolic motion. In comparison, when the cause is a Higgs gradient, the trajectory of all particles are hyperbolic, but the acceleration is larger when the particle’s energy is higher. The discrepancies among the three causes are minuscule on laboratory scales, which makes experimental tests very challenging.

The Most Probable Cosmic Scale Factor Consistent with the Cosmological Principle, General Relativity and the SMPP

Current literature on the evolution of the cosmic scale factor is dominated by models using a dark sector, these all involve making many conjectures beyond the basic assumption that the Cosmological Principle selects a space–time metric of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker type through which ordinary Standard Model of Particle Physics matter moves according to General Relativity. In this chapter a different model is made using the same basic assumptions but without making extra conjectures, it depends on following the idea introduced by Boltzmann that when physically meaningful concepts fluctuate the value which will be observed is the one which has the highest probability. This change removes the mathematically incorrect procedure of averaging the matter density before solving Einstein’s Equation, the procedure which causes the introduction of many of the conjectures. In the non-uniform era the changes are that the evolution of the scale factor is influenced by the formation of structure and removes the conjecture of having to use two inconsistent probability distributions for matter through space, one to calculate the scale factor and one to represent structure. The new model is consistent from the earliest times through to the present epoch. This new model is open and matches SNe 1a redshift data, an observation which makes it a viable candidate and implies that it should be fully investigated.

Einstein’s Equation of motion for exterior test particles with spherical mass distribution having varied field, time and radial distance; Golden metric tensors approach.

Golden metric tensors exterior to hypothetical distribution of mass whose field varies with time and radial distance have been used to construct the coefficient of affine connections that invariably was used to obtained the Einstein’s equations of motion for test particles of non-zero rest masses. The expression for the variation of time on a clock moving in this gravitational field was derived using the time equation of motion. The test particles in this field under the condition of pure polar motion have an inverse square dependence velocity which depends on radial distance. Our result indicates that despite using the golden metric tensor, the inverse square dependence of the velocity on radial distance has not been changed.

Distinct classes of compact stars based on geometrically deduced equations of state

We have computed the properties of compact objects like neutron stars based on equation of state (EOS) deduced from a core–envelope model of superdense stars. Such superdense stars have been studied by solving Einstein’s equation based on pseudo-spheroidal and spherically symmetric spacetime geometry. The computed star properties are compared with those obtained based on nuclear matter EOSs. From the mass–radius ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) relationship obtained here, we are able to classify compact stars in three categories: (i) highly compact self-bound stars that represents exotic matter compositions with radius lying below 9[Formula: see text]km; (ii) normal neutron stars with radius between 9 to 12[Formula: see text]km and (iii) soft matter neutron stars having radius lying between 12 to 20[Formula: see text]km. Other properties such as Keplerian frequency, surface gravity and surface gravitational redshift are also computed for all the three types. This work would be useful for the study of highly compact neutron like stars having exotic matter compositions.

Embedding cosmology and gravity

I start with a scenario where the universe is an abstract space $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M having d dimensions. There is a two dimensional surface embedded in it. Embedding is a map from the embedded surface to $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M that has a field theory described by Sigma model. I take d directions of $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M to be the generators of a symmetry group SU(n) of the Lagrangian of the embedding. This means embedding has n flavors. Then I introduce spontaneous symmetry breaking in the theory and define the direction along which the symmetry breaking occurs as time. Next I write down the modified Einstein’s equation including the embedding. Then I discuss embedding’s relation to the expansion of the universe. After that I construct an inflationary scenario with embedding as inflaton and discuss its connection to Starobinsky $$R^{2}$$ R 2 model. Finally, I discuss the effect of inflation on the non-commutativity of the spacetime.

Black hole interactions at large D: brane blobology

In the large dimension (D) limit, Einstein’s equation reduces to an effective theory on the horizon surface, drastically simplifying the black hole analysis. Especially, the effective theory on the black brane has been successful in describing the non-linear dynamics not only of black branes, but also of compact black objects which are encoded as solitary Gaussian-shaped lumps, blobs. For a rigidly rotating ansatz, in addition to axisymmetric deformed branches, various non-axisymmetric solutions have been found, such as black bars, which only stay stationary in the large D limit.In this article, we demonstrate the blob approximation has a wider range of applicability by formulating the interaction between blobs and subsequent dynamics. We identify that this interaction occurs via thin necks connecting blobs. Especially, black strings are well captured in this approximation sufficiently away from the perturbative regime. Highly deformed black dumbbells and ripples are also found to be tractable in the approximation. By defining the local quantities, the effective force acting on distant blobs are evaluated as well. These results reveal that the large D effective theory is capable of describing not only individual black holes but also the gravitational interactions between them, as a full dynamical theory of interactive blobs, which we call brane blobology.
