We address the problem of the energy conditions in modified gravity taking into account the additional degrees of freedom related to scalar fields and curvature invariants. The latter are usually interpreted as generalized {\it geometrical…
The General Lagrangian Mean (GLM) theory uses a set of averaged equations of fluid dynamics to describe interactions between mean flows and waves. These equations are formulated in coordinates that follow the fluid's average velocity and…
In this thesis we study field theoretic viewpoints on certain fluid mechanical phenomena. In the Higgs mechanism, the weak gauge bosons acquire masses by interacting with a scalar field, leading to a vector boson mass matrix. On the other…
I show how there is an ambiguity in how one treats auxiliary variables in gauge theories including general relativity cast as 3 + 1 geometrodynamics. Auxiliary variables may be treated pre-variationally as multiplier coordinates or as the…
