We consider a classical condensed matter theory in a Newtonian framework where conservation laws \partial_t \rho + \partial_i (\rho v^i) = 0 \partial_t (\rho v^j) + \partial_i(\rho v^i v^j + p^{ij}) = 0 are related with the Lagrange…
The matter antimatter asymmetry in the Universe is one of the outstanding problems in physics.and cosmology. CP violation (CPV) is a necessary condition for generating such asymmetry but the amount predicted in the Standard Model (SM) from…
Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in reproducing specific aspects of classical or quantum gravity, of quantum fields in curved space or of other high-energy scenarios, on lower-energy…
A conventional wisdom often perpetuated in the literature states that: (i) a 3+1 decomposition of space-time into space and time is synonymous with the canonical treatment and this decomposition is essential for any Hamiltonian formulation…
The geometric properties of General Relativity are reconsidered as a particular nonlinear interaction of fields on a flat background where the perceived geometry and coordinates are "physical" entities that are interpolated by a patchwork…
The framework of the Covariant Canonical Gauge theory of Gravity (CCGG) is described in detail. CCGG emerges naturally in the Palatini formulation, where the vierbein and the spin connection are independent fields. Neither torsion nor…
The observed accelerated cosmic expansion is problematic in that it seems to require an otherwise unobserved dark energy for its origin. A possible alternative explanation has been recently given, which attempts to account for this…
A generalized version is proposed for the field-antifield formalism. The antibracket operation is defined in arbitrary field-antifield coordinates. The antisymplectic definitions are given for first- and second-class constraints. In the…
A two dimensional matter coupled model of quantum gravity is studied in the Dirac approach to constrained dynamics in the presence of a cosmological constant. It is shown that after partial fixing to the conformal gauge the requirement of a…
The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part the low-energy limit of quantum gravity is analysed, whereas in the second we deal with the high-energy domain. In the first part, by applying the effective field theory point of view…
We present a second-quantized field theory of massive spin one-half particles or antiparticles in the presence of a weak gravitational field treated as a spin two external field in a flat Minkowski background. We solve the difficulties…
We investigate quantum cosmology in teleparallel $f(T)$-gravity. We delve extensively into the minisuperspace description within the context of teleparallelism. The $f(T)$-theory constitutes a second-order theory of gravity, whose…
A modification of the canonical quantization procedure for systems with time-dependent second-class constraints is discussed and applied to the quantization of the relativistic particle in a plane wave. The time dependence of constraints…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture is typically stated as a bound on the mass-to-charge ratio of a particle in the theory. Alternatively, it has been proposed that its natural formulation is in terms of the existence of a particle which is…
Parametrized field theory (PFT) is free field theory on flat spacetime in a diffeomorphism invariant disguise. It describes field evolution on arbitrary foliations of the flat spacetime instead of only the usual flat ones, by treating the…
More recently, the ALPHA-g experiment has shown that antiatoms fall in the Earth's gravitational field like ordinary atoms, with the non-negligible possibility that antiatoms fall with a slightly lower acceleration. A possible lower…
The ALPHA collaboration recently published the article "Observation of the effects of gravity on the motion of antimatter" in issue 621 of Nature (2023), in which their conclusion states that "The probability that our data are consistent…
One may ask whether the relations between energy and frequency and between momentum and wave vector, introduced for matter waves by de Broglie, are rigorously valid in the presence of gravity. In this paper, we show this to be true for…
In this report we discuss three aspects: 1) Semiclassical gravity theory (SCG): 4 levels of theories describing the interaction of quantum matter with classical gravity; 2) Alternative Quantum Theories: Discerning those which are derivable…
The main fundamental principles characterizing the vacuum field structure are formulated and the modeling of the related vacuum medium and charged point particle dynamics by means of devised field theoretic tools are analyzed. The work is…
