We explore gravitating relativistic spheres composed of an anisotropic, barotropic uid. We assume a bi-polytropic equation of state which has a linear and a power-law terms. The generalized Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation which…
Utilizing various gauges of the radial coordinate, we give a General Relativistic (GR) description of static spherically symmetric spacetimes with a massive point source and vacuum outside this singularity. We show that in GR there exists a…
A new principle in quantum gravity, dubbed spacetime complexity, states that gravitational physics emerges from spacetime seeking to optimize the computational cost of its quantum dynamics. Thus far, this principle has been realized at the…
We apply a recent proposal for defining states and observables in quantum gravity to simple models. First, we consider a Klein-Gordon particle in an ex- ternal potential in Minkowski space and compare our proposal to the theory ob- tained…
The usual Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^N$, asserts that $\|\nabla u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)} \geq \mathcal{S}\|u\|_{L^{p^*}(\mathbb{R}^N)}$ for $1<p<N$ and $p^*=\frac{pN}{N-p}$, with $\mathcal{S}$ being the sharp constant. Based on a…
We consider a proper parabolic subalgebra p of a simple Lie algebra g and the Inonu-Wigner contraction of p with respect to its decomposition into its standard Levi factor and its nilpotent radical : this is the Lie algebra which is…
We systematically examine the compactness of neutron stars as Tolman VII solutions in scalar-tensor theory of gravity. As a result, when the coupling constant is confined to values provided by astronomical observations we show that the…
Classically, unimodular gravity is known to be equivalent to General Relativity (GR), except for the fact that the effective cosmological constant $\Lambda$ has the status of an integration constant. Here, we explore various formulations of…
In the current debate referring to the construction of a tenable background independent theory of Quantum Gravity we introduce the notion of topos-theoretic relativization of physical representability and demonstrate its relevance…
The crucial but undocumented Dolan-McCrea variational method is richly applied. Using the said method, we analytically derived a field equation comprising entirely of geometric structures and we investigate how effectively it describes…
The observable gravitational and electromagnetic parameters of an electron: mass $m$, spin $J=\hbar/2$, charge $e$ and magnetic moment $ea = e\hbar /(2m)$ indicate unambiguously that the electron should had the Kerr-Newman background…
One way the ultraviolet problem may be solved is explicit physical regularization. In this scenario, QFT is only the long distance limit of some unknown non-Poincare-invariant microscopic theory. One can ask how complex and contrived such…
In the framework of the power-counting renormalizable theory of gravitation, recently proposed by Ho\v{r}ava, we study the limit $\lambda\to\infty$, which is arguably the most natural candidate for the ultraviolet fixed point of the…
This article introduces $L^p$ versions of the support function of a convex body $K$ and associates to these canonical $L^p$-polar bodies $K^{\circ, p}$ and Mahler volumes $\mathcal{M}_p(K)$. Classical polarity is then seen as…
In this article, we studied the behavior of relativistic spherical objects considering Tolman IV spacetime in modified $f(R,\,T)$ gravity for the uncharged perfect fluid matter. We have chosen the matter Lagrangian as $\mathcal{L}_m=-p$ to…
The maximal gravitational mass of nonrotating neutron stars ($M_{\rm TOV}$) is one of the key parameters of compact objects and only loose bounds can be set based on the first principle. With reliable measurements of the masses and/or radii…
We propose a scenario according to which the ultraviolet completion of General Relativity is realized through a stochastic gradient flow towards a topological BF theory. Specifically, we consider the stochastic gradient flow of a…
In this essay I point out that, in the context of semi-classical gravity, the equivalence principle can mitigate the cosmological constant problem. On a Minkowski space-time background with the usual $\mathbb{R}^4$ topology, the vacuum…
A new twisted deformation, U_z(so(4,2)), of the conformal algebra of the (3+1)-dimensional Minkowskian spacetime is presented. This construction is provided by a classical r-matrix spanned by ten Weyl-Poincare generators, which generalizes…
In 1989 Cabrera and Tate reported an anomalous excess of mass of the Cooper pairs in rotating thin Niobium rings. So far, this experimental result never received a proper theoretical explanation in the context of superconductor's physics.…
