The steady-state electronic transport across periodically driven systems can be efficiently addressed using Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism. The time-dependent nonequilibrium Green's function theory then may be adapted for developing direct…
One-loop quantities in QFT can be computed in an efficient way using the worldline formalism. The latter rests on the ability of calculating 1D path integrals on the circle. In this paper we give a systematic discussion for treating zero…
The Newman-Penrose formalism in transverse tetrads, namely those tetrads where \Psi_1=\Psi_3=0, is studied. In particular it is shown that the equations governing the dynamics within this formalism can be recast in a particularly compact…
We advocate that the dual picture of spacetime noncommutativity , i.e. the existence of a curved momentum space, could be a way out to solve some of the open conceptual problems in the field, such as the basis dependence of observables. In…
It has been known for some time that generalised geometry provides a particularly elegant rewriting of the action and symmetries of 10-dimensional supergravity theories, up to the lowest nontrivial order in fermions. By exhibiting the full…
This paper introduces the concept of Fractal Frenet equations, a set of differential equations used to describe the behavior of vectors along fractal curves. The study explores the analogue of arc length for fractal curves, providing a…
In this paper we argue that the well-known maximal extensions of the Kerr and Kerr-Newman spacetimes characterized by a specific gluing (on disks) of two asymptotically flat regions with ADM masses of opposite signs are physically…
We revisit the near-horizon description of the Kerr space-time in the isolated horizon formalism using a non-twisting null geodesic congruence and eliminate the coordinate and geodesic pathologies that arise when the Carter constant of…
We investigate a non-minimally coupled scalar field theory within the framework of scalar-tensor gravity formulated in non-metricity geometry, focusing on spatially curved FLRW spacetimes. Employing the dynamical systems approach with…
We call a manifold with torsion and nonmetricity the metric-affine manifold. The nonmetricity leads to a difference between the auto parallel line and the extreme line, and to a change in the expression of the Frenet transport and moving…
If Einstein's equations are to describe a field theory of gravity in Minkowski spacetime, then causality requires that the effective curved metric must respect the flat background metric's null cone. The kinematical problem is solved using…
Calculations using the (exact) fermionic functional renormalization group are usually truncated at the second order of the corresponding hierarchy of coupled ordinary differential equations. We present a method for the systematic…
In this paper, we present an efficient fully spectral approximation scheme for exploring the one-dimensional steady-state neutron transport equation. Our methodology integrates the spectral-(Petrov-)Galerkin scheme in the spatial dimension…
In this paper, the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation is derived in null-foliated 4D spacetimes. WDW equation written in null-foliated spacetime presents an enormous simplification compared to the spacelike-foliated spacetime as the…
A semiclassical linear response theory based on the Vlasov equation is reviewed. The approach discussed here differs from the classical one of Vlasov and Landau for the fact that the finite size of the system is explicitly taken into…
The class of accelerated reference frames has been studied, on the basis of Fermi-Walker coordinates; both in the cases of uniform and arbitrary accelerations. In the first case, explicit formulae for the transformation of coordinates have…
The geodesic deviation equation (`GDE') provides an elegant tool to investigate the timelike, null and spacelike structure of spacetime geometries. Here we employ the GDE to review these structures within the…
