We consider the classical energy conditions (strong, null and weak) in Starobinsky supergravity theories. We study in detail the simplest Starobinsky supergravity model in the "old-minimal" supergravity setup and find examples of violations…
For a given semilinear parabolic equation with polynomial nonlinearity, many solutions blow up in finite time. For a certain large class of these equations, we show that some of the solutions which do not blow up actually tend to…
In an effort to provide an alternative method to represent a quantum spin, a precise nonlinear dynamics semi-classical model is used to show that standard quantum spin analysis can be obtained. The model includes a multi-body,…
Nonclassicality cannot be a single-observable property since the statistics of any quantum observable is compatible with classical physics. We develop a general procedure to reveal nonclassical behavior from the joint measurement of…
It is known that the overlap of two energy eigenstates in a decaying quantum system is bounded from above by a function of the energy detuning and the individual decay rates. This is usually traced back to the positive definiteness of an…
We present several recent results concerning the transition between quantum and classical mechanics, in the situation where the underlying dynamical system has an hyperbolic behaviour. The special role of invariant manifolds will be…
The electromagnetic vacuum is known to have energy. It has been recently argued that the quantum vacuum can possess momentum, that adds up to the momentum of matter. This ``Casimir momentum'' is closely related to the Casimir effect, in…
We analyse some quantum multiplets associated with extended supersymmetries. We study in detail the general form of the causal (anti)commutation relations. The condition of positivity of the scalar product imposes severe restrictions on the…
Connections are uncovered between the averaged weak (AWEC) and averaged null (ANEC) energy conditions, and quantum inequality restrictions on negative energy for free massless scalar fields. In a two-dimensional compactified Minkowski…
We consider the possibility of a past and future eternal universe, constructing geodesically complete inflating, loitering, and bouncing spacetimes. We identify the constraints energy conditions in General Relativity place on the building…
We study the dynamics of states perturbatively expanded about a harmonic system of loop quantum cosmology, exhibiting a bounce. In particular, the evolution equations for the first and second order moments of the system are analyzed. These…
A certain modification of the semiclassical quantization condition based on the summarization of the known power expansion in the squared Planck constant is proposed. Corresponding deviation from exact spectra arises only together with the…
From non-linear theory of electromagnetism, suggested in (physics/9801031), follows that non-relativistic equation for scalar potential of electron in the field of nuclei is equivalent to respective Schr\"odinger equation. For mass and…
The author argues that the Dirac quantization condition might imply the existence of an undiscovered electromagnetic structure which governs the quantization of the electric charge and the quantization of the magnetic flux in the…
We point out that the presence of energetic cosmic rays above the GZK cutoff may be explained by fundamental non-linearities in quantum mechanics at the Plank level.
Recently, a non-linear model of viscoelasticity based on Rational Extended Thermodynamics was proposed in [arXiv:2312.05116]. This theory extends the evolution of the viscous stress beyond the linear framework of the Maxwell model to the…
We have studied the weakly non-linear quantum transport properties of a two-dimensional quantum wire which can be solved exactly. The non-linear transport coefficients have been calculated and interesting physical properties revealed. In…
The main topic of this work concerns the formulation of the equations of motion and the consequent energy balance that they imply for this type of systems, In particular, the analytical development that we will carry out on the equations of…
The classical energy conditions, originally motivated by the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems of general relativity, are violated by quantum fields. A reminiscent notion of such conditions are the so called quantum energy inequalities…
We prove the existence of strong and weak solutions to the semilinear wave equation with coefficients depending both on time and space variables, with continuous nonlinearity satisfying the sign condition. The uniqueness is proven under…
