We present a detailed study of scattering by an amplitude-modulated potential barrier using three distinct physical frameworks: quantum, classical, and semiclassical. Classical physics gives bounds on the energy and momentum of the…

We briefly recall the problem of defining conserved quantities such as energy in general relativity, and the solution by introducing a symmetric background. We apply the general formalism to perturbed Robertson-Walker spacetimes with de…

For geodesic motion of a particle in a stationary spacetime the $U_0$ component of particle 4-velocity is constant and is considered to be a conserved mechanical energy. We show that this concept of a conserved mechanical energy can be…

We consider a free particle in a de Sitter spacetime. We use a picture in which the analogs of the Schr\"odinger operators of the particle are independent of both the time and the space coordinates. These operators induce operators which…
