The set of kinetic equations describing the process of conversion of a beam of protons into mesons and then to neutrinos is solved. The asymptotic evolution of the density profile of neutrinos is essentially the same as that obtained in the…
We propose a test to compare the speed of muons and muon neutrinos produced in the same bundles in the atmosphere. By comparing the arrival times of primary muons and muons induced by neutrinos, experiments such as Super-Kamiokande, IceCube…
In this work, we focus on the dynamics of a massive one-form field, \textbf{B}, often referred to simply as a vector field, that is minimally coupled to standard Einstein gravity. In the framework of four-dimensional spacetimes, the theory…
Using large N, 4d anomaly induced one-loop effective action for conformally invariant matter (typical GUT multiplet) we study the possibility to induce the primordial spherically symmetric wormholes at the early Universe. The corresponding…
A stream of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) gravitationally scattered outwards within the Earth yields a delay, \delta t \simeq 60 ns, in good agreement with the results of the OPERA experiment. Conversely, the OPERA experiment…
We discuss construction and observational properties of wormholes obtained by connecting two Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes with distinct mass and charge parameters. These objects are spherically symmetric, but not reflection-symmetric, as…
An interpretation of the superluminal velocity observed by OPERA collaboration is given in terms wave packet distortion of ultrarelativistic massive neutrinos. Standard quantum-mechanical time evolution of physical states can explain the…
The newly discovered Wormhole C--metric is a solution of Einstein's field equation coupled with a phantom scalar field which describes the accelerated wormholes. In the zero acceleration limit the solution reduces to an asymptotically flat…
Dark matter particles can form halos gravitationally bound to massive astrophysical objects. The Earth could have such a halo where depending on the particle mass, the halo either extends beyond the surface or is confined to the Earth's…
Wormholes are outstanding solutions of Einstein's General Relativity. They were worked out in the late 1980's by Morris and Thorne, who have figured out a recipe that wormholes must obey in order to be traversable, that is, safely crossed…
There are two effects of extra matter fields on the Lorentzian traversable wormhole. The ``primary effect'' says that the extra matter can afford to be a part of source or whole source of the wormhole when the wormhole is being formed. Thus…
We describe two interesting effects in wormhole physics. First, we find that a genuinely charged matter source may appear neutral to an external observer - a phenomenon opposite to the famous Misner-Wheeler "charge without charge" effect.…
If Euclidean wormholes contribute meaningfully to the path integral of quantum gravity they can have important implications for particle physics and cosmology. The dominant effects arise from wormholes whose sizes are comparable to the…
We investigate the dissolution of artificial fractures with three-dimensional, pore-scale numerical simulations. The fluid velocity in the fracture space was determined from a lattice-Boltzmann method, and a stochastic solver was used for…
Quite exotic relativistic objects known as wormholes are hypothetical candidates for central machine of active galactic nuclei as well as black holes. We find the magnitude of the perihelion precession and the deflection of light in…
A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel through space. We employ the techniques taught in a standard calculus course to generate the images (embedding diagrams) of the Schwarzschild Wormhole and the Thorne-Morris Wormhole.
The intrinsic non-perturbative features of string-theoretic corrections, particularly those arising from T-duality, have been shown to naturally introduce an effective ultraviolet (UV) cutoff into the gravitational framework. This cutoff,…
Motivated by the tentative observation of superluminal neutrinos by the OPERA experiment, we present a model of active-sterile neutrino oscillations in which sterile neutrinos are superluminal and active neutrinos appear superluminal by…
Euclidean wormholes have played a key role in the recent ``disorder averaged" approaches to quantum gravity and holography, but are typically only considered in somewhat special theories of gravity, such as theories in low dimensions or…
Embedding theorems, which have a long history in the general theory of relativity, are used in this paper to account for two of the most troubling aspects of Morris-Thorne wormholes, (1) the origin of exotic matter and the amount needed to…
