We derive the equations of motion of an extended test body in the context of Einstein's theory of gravitation. The equations of motion are obtained via a multipolar approximation method and are given up to the quadrupolar order. Special…
The paper is devoted to the motion of a body in a fluid under the influence of gravity and drag. Depending on the regime considered, the drag force can exhibit a linear, quadratic or even more general dependence on the velocity of the body…
We present a global approach of non-dissipative physics. Based on symplectic mechanics this technique allows us to obtain the solution of a very large class of problems in terms of a Taylor expand. We apply this method to the problem of…
The Einsteinian Theory of Gravitation ("General Theory of Relativity") is founded essentially; on the reception that the geometrical properties of the 4-dimensional space-time continuum are defined from the matter in it. Contrary to this,…
Approximate equations are derived for the motion of a gyroscope on the earth's gravitational field using the Einstein, Infeld, Hoffmann surface integral method. This method does not require a knowledge of the energy-momentum-stress tensor…
Building upon the technique that we developed earlier for perturbed sweeping processes with convex moving constraints and monotone vector fields (Kamenskii et al, Nonlinear Anal. Hybrid Syst. 30, 2018), the present paper establishes global…
The Boltzmann equation is a fundamental equation in kinetic theory that describes the motion of rarefied gases. In this study, we examine the Boltzmann equation within a $C^1$ bounded domain, subject to a large external potential $\Phi(x)$…
An alternative, scalar theory of gravitation has been proposed, based on a mechanism/interpretation of gravity as being a pressure force: Archimedes' thrust. In it, the gravitational field affects the physical standards of space and time,…
The motion of a compact body in space and time is commonly described by the world line of a point representing the instantaneous position of the body. In General Relativity such a world-line formalism is not quite straightforward because of…
The lack of a well-established solution for the gravitational energy problem might be one of the reasons why a clear road to quantum gravity does not exist. In this paper, the gravitational energy is studied in detail with the help of the…
We consider a two-dimensional, incompressible fluid body, together with self-induced interactions. The body is perturbed by an external particle with small mass. The whole configuration rotates uniformly around the common center of mass. We…
Gravity inversion allows us to constrain the interior mass distribution of a planetary body using the observed shape, rotation, and gravity. Traditionally, techniques developed for gravity inversion can be divided into Monte Carlo methods,…
We prove that given a stress-free elastic body there exists, for sufficiently small values of the gravitational constant, a unique static solution of the Einstein equations coupled to the equations of relativistic elasticity. The solution…
In a geometric unified theory there is an energy momentum equation, apart from the field equations and equations of motion. The general relativity Einstein equation with cosmological constant follows from this energy momentum equation for…
In this work, we investigate cosmologies where the gravitational constant varies in time, with the aim of explaining the accelerated expansion without a cosmological constant. We achieve this by considering a phenomenological extension to…
The accelerating expansion of the Universe poses a major challenge to our understanding of fundamental physics. One promising avenue is to modify general relativity and obtain a new description of the gravitational force. Because…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author after further work showed the proposed theoretical approach cannot fit planetary perihelion precession data. As presented, the theory doesn't fit gravitational light deflection by the sun either,…
This article serves as a pedagogical introduction to the problem of motion in classical field theories. The primary focus is on self-interaction: How does an object's own field affect its motion? General laws governing the self-force and…
We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to electromagnetic field and assume that four-dimensional space-time manifold is the warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics.…
We consider a test of the Copernican Principle through observations of the large-scale structures, and for this purpose we study the self-gravitating system in a relativistic huge void universe model which does not invoke the Copernican…
