We study the effect of one-loop corrections from nucleon together with those from boson in the massless chiral sigma model, where we perform the Coleman-Weinberg renormalization procedure. This renormalization procedure has a mechanism of…
We revisit the Unruh effect to investigate how finite acceleration would affect a scalar condensate. We discuss a negative thermal-like correction associated with acceleration. From the correspondence between thermo-field dynamics and…

In this work we study the Unruh temperature as arising from tunneling through a barrier for an observer in flat Minkowski spacetime with arbitrary acceleration $a(t)$. For the defining case of constant acceleration $a(t) = a_0$, the Unruh…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking usually occurs due to the tachyonic (spinodal) instability of a scalar field near the top of its effective potential at $\phi = 0$. Naively, one might expect the field $\phi$ to fall from the top of the…
We study a scale-invariant model of quadratic gravity with a non-minimally coupled scalar field. We focus on cosmological solutions and find that scale invariance is spontaneously broken and a mass scale naturally emerges. Before the…

Gravitational wave observations have been used to test Lorentz symmetry by looking for dispersive effects that are caused by higher order corrections to the dispersion relation. In this Letter I argue on general grounds that, when such…
A phenomenological formalism is presented in which the apparent acceleration of the universe is generated by large-scale structure formation, thus eliminating the coincidence and magnitude fine-tuning problems of the Cosmological Constant…

The symmetry energy of nuclear matter is a fundamental ingredient in the investigation of exotic nuclei, heavy-ion collisions and astrophysical phenomena. New data from heavy-ion collisions can be used to extract the free symmetry energy…
In the description of \emph{relative} motion in accelerated systems and gravitational fields, inertial and tidal accelerations must be taken into account, respectively. These involve a critical speed that in the first approximation can be…
