A definition of gravitational energy is proposed for any theory described by a diffeomorphism-invariant Lagrangian. The mathematical structure is a Noether- current construction of Wald involving the boundary term in the action, but here it…
We propose a model describing Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field with an exponential potential. We show that the weak-field limit of the model has static solutions given by a gravitational potential behaving for large distances as…
We derive the first positivity bounds for low-energy Effective Field Theories (EFTs) that are not invariant under Lorentz boosts. "Positivity bounds" are the low-energy manifestation of certain fundamental properties in the UV -- to date…
We establish the positive energy theorem for weak asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets with distributional curvature under the weak dominant energy condition.
In the present work, we search the simplest cosmological model in $f(R,T)$ gravity by considering its functional form $f(R,T) = R + \xi R T$ with $\xi$ being positive constant. We have constructed the Einstein's field equation in $f(R,T)$…
The non-singular model of the Universe i.e. emergent scenario is now very well known in cosmology. In Einstein gravity such type of singularity free solution is possible in the context of non-equilibrium thermodynamical prescription (both…
A new class of solutions of Einstein field equations has been investigated for inhomogeneous cylindrically symmetric space-time with string source. To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion ($\theta$) in the…
In the framework of the field theory it is shown that a time (viewed as a scalar temporal field) is an internal property of the physical system, which defines its causal structure and evolution. A new concept of internal time allows to…
As Einstein's gravity is a non-renormalizable theory, it can be a good description of physics only at the scales of energy or spacetime curvature below the Planck mass. Moreover, it requires the presence of an infinite tower of…
In order to allow the asymptotically flat, we consider Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity theory with a soft violation of the detailed balance condition and obtain various solutions. In particular, we find that such theory coupled to a global…
The Einstein-Cartan-Saa theory of torsion modifies the spacetime volume element so that it is compatible with the connection. The condition of connection compatibility gives constraints on torsion, which are also necessary for the…
We set up a model of an electric charge where the noninvertible metric phase of first order gravity supercedes the point charge singularity in a curved spacetime. A topological interpretation of the electric charge is provided in terms of…
We establish a positivity property for a class of semilinear elliptic problems involving indefinite sublinear nonlinearities. Namely, we show that any nontrivial nonnegative solution is positive for a class of problems the strong maximum…
In this note, we present a new proof of the solvability of the electrostatic Born-Infeld equation with radial charge, based on the conformal method and the Spacetime Positive Energy Theorem. An advantage of this approach is that the…
We perform a non-perturbative analysis to the Hamiltonian constraint of the lowest-order effective action of the complete Horava theory, which includes a (\partial_i \ln N)^2 term in the Lagrangian. We cast this constraint as a partial…
Recently Kordas (1995, Class. Quantum Grav. 12 2037) and Meinel and Neugebauer (1995, Class. Quantum Grav. 12 2045) studied the conditions for reflection symmetry in stationary axisymmetric space--times in vacuum. They found that a solution…
As a supersymmetric extension of the Randall-Sundrum model, we consider a 5-dimensional Horava-Witten type theory, and derive its low energy effective action. The model we consider is a two-brane system with a bulk scalar field satisfying…
