The tachyonic instability is associated with the unboundedness of the Hamiltonian from below and results in an unstable low-$k$ regime. In the cosmological exploration of modified gravity, it is seldom taken into account, with more focus…

We derive the effect of the Schr\"odinger--Newton equation, which can be considered as a non-relativistic limit of classical gravity, for a composite quantum system in the regime of high energies. Such meson-antimeson systems exhibit very…

This article demonstrates that additionally to the well-known velocity memory effect, a vacuum gravitational plane wave can also induce a displacement memory on a couple of test particles. A complete classification of the conditions under…

The memory effect is a prediction of general relativity on the same footing as the existence of gravitational waves. The memory effect is understood at future null infinity as a transition induced by null radiation from a Poincar\'e vacuum…

In brane-world scenarios, electromagnetic waves (EMWs) are confined to the brane, while gravitational waves (GWs) can propagate through the bulk spacetime. This fundamental difference has been exploited in multiple cosmological studies to…

The possible existence of a complex metric tensor field is studied. We show that an effective scalar field is induced by an overall phase component of the complex metric tensor. The corresponding gauge field is shown to be a tachyon.…

Cataclysmic astrophysical phenomena can produce impulsive gravitational waves that can possibly be detected by the advanced versions of present-day detectors in the future. Gluing of two spacetimes across a null surface produces impulsive…
