We study the exchange of energy between gravitational and electromagnetic waves in a Sagnac type geometry, in analogy to an ``optical Weber bar.'' In the presence of a gravitational wave (such as the ones measured by LIGO), we find that it…
A gravitational field can be defined in terms of a moving frame, which when made noncommutative yields a preferred basis for a differential calculus. It is conjectured that to a linear perturbation of the commutation relations which define…
We study a universe filled with cold dark matter in the form of discrete inhomogeneities (e.g., galaxies) and dark energy in the form of a continuous perfect fluid. We develop a first-order scalar perturbation theory in the weak gravity…
A gravitational field can cause a rotation of the polarisation plane of light. This phenomenon is known as the gravitational Faraday effect. It arises due to different spin-orbit interaction of left- and right-handed circularly polarised…
We study some observational signatures of nonlinearities of the electromagnetic field. First to all we show the vital role played by nonlinearities in triggering a material behavior of the vacuum with $(\varepsilon > 0, \mu <0)$, which…
The electromagnetic theory is considered in the framework of the generally covariant approach, that is applied to the analysis of electromagnetism in noninertial coordinate and frame systems. The special-relat\-ivistic formulation of…
The interaction, in the long--wavelength approximation, of normal and superconducting electromagnetic circuits with gravitational waves is investigated. We show that such interaction takes place by modifying the physical parameters R, L, C…
The limits of linear electrodynamics are reviewed, and possible directions of nonlinear extension are explored. The central theme is that the qualitative character of the empirical successes of quantum electrodynamics must be used as a…
New approach to the description of a gravitation using analogy between the optical and mechanical phenomenon is advanced. For this purpose in extended (1+4)-dimensional space G(1,4) the gravitational effects are considered: the speed of…
We feel that non-commutative geometry is to particle physics what Riemannian geometry is to gravity. We try to explain this feeling.
We carry out the first step of a program conceived, in order to build a realistic model, having the particle spectrum of the standard model and renormalized masses, interaction terms and couplings, etc. which include the class of quantum…
The proposal of this work is to provide an answer to the following question: is it possible to treat the metric of space-time - that in General Relativity (GR) describes the gravitational interaction - as an effective geometry? In other…
The attempts to unify electromagnetism and gravitation have included the formulations of Herman Weyl and the Kaluza Klein theory with the fifth dimension. More recently there have been fruitful attempts in the domain of Quantum Superstrings…
Based on Maxwellian quaternionic electromagnetic theory, the electromagnetic interaction, gravitational interaction and their coupling influence with the dark matter field in octonionic space are discussed. The research results disclose the…
It is argued that static electric or magnetic fields induce Weyl-Majumdar-Papapetrou solutions for the metric of spacetime. Their gravitational acceleration includes a term many orders of magnitude stronger than usual perturbative terms. It…
We present a gravitational quantum dynamics theory that combines quantum field theory for particle dynamics in space-time with classical Einstein's general relativity in a non-Riemannian Finsler space. This approach is based on the…
We study the gravitational lensing in the weak field approximation assuming the presence of a plasma and of a magnetic field around a compact gravitational source. The external magnetic field causes the split of the image, as the…
The role of entanglement in determining the non-classicality of a given interaction has gained significant traction over the last few years. In particular, as the basis for new experimental proposals to test the quantum nature of the…
General relativity describes the dynamics of gravitational waves, which can feature nonlinear interactions, such as those underlying turbulent processes. Theoretical and numerical explorations have demonstrated the existence of…
The study of the gravitational field produced by a spatially non-local, superposed quantum state of a massive particle is a thrilling area of modern physics. One question to be answered is whether the gravitational field behaves as the…
