About 300 experiments have tried to determine the value of the Newtonian gravitational constant, G, so far, but large discrepancies in the results have made it impossible to know its value precisely. The weakness of the gravitational…
A second gradient generalization of Newtonian gravity is presented within the framework of gradient field theory. Weak nonlocality is introduced via first and second gradients of the gravitational field strength in the Lagrangian density.…
We propose a distribution-free approach to the study of random geometric graphs. The distribution of vertices follows a Poisson point process with intensity function $nf(\cdot)$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$, and $f$ is a probability density…
In condensed-matter, level statistics has long been used to characterize the phases of a disordered system. We provide evidence within the context of a simple model that in a disordered large-N gauge theory with a gravity dual, there exist…
We discuss recent results of the replica approach to statistical mechanics of a single classical particle placed in a random N(>>1)-dimensional Gaussian landscape. The particular attention is paid to the case of landscapes with…
We study the effect of Chandrasekhar and Holstmark's distribution of field fluctuations on the dynamics of N-body systems interacting via Coulomb or Newton gravitational force. We develop an approach based on statistical dynamics first…
The Press--Schechter description of gravitational clustering from an initially Poisson distribution is shown to be equivalent to the well studied Galton--Watson branching process. This correspondence is used to provide a detailed…
A thin gaseous disk has often been investigated in the context of various phenomena in galaxies, which point to the existence of starburst rings and dense circumnuclear molecular disks. The effect of self-gravity of the gas in the 2D disk…
For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…
A quantitatively verifiable expression for the Gravitational Constant is derived in terms of quantum mechanical quantities. This derivation appears to be possible by selecting a suitable physical process in which the transformation of the…
The self-force describes the effect of a particle's own gravitational field on its motion. While the motion is geodesic in the test-mass limit, it is accelerated to first order in the particle's mass. In this contribution I review the…
This article deals with transport properties of one dimensional Brownian diffusion under the influence of a correlated quenched random force, distributed as a two-level Poisson process. We find in particular that large time scaling laws of…
Based on the model of a "soft" cellular space and deterministic quantum mechanics developed previously, the scattering of a free moving particle by structural units of the space -- superparticles -- is studied herein. The process of energy…
The dynamics of "dipolar particles", i.e. particles endowed with a four-vector mass dipole moment, is investigated using an action principle in general relativity. The action is a specific functional of the particle's world line, and of the…
For the purpose of analyzing observed phenomena, it has been convenient, and thus far sufficient, to regard gravity as subject to the deterministic principles of classical physics, with the gravitational field obeying Newton's law or…
Static observers remain on Killing-vector world lines and measure the rest-mass+kinetic energies of particles moving past them, and the flux of that mechanical energy through space and time. The total mechanical energy is the total flux…
Gravitational radiation with roughly spherical wavefronts, produced by roughly spherical black holes or other astrophysical objects, is described by an approximation scheme. The first quasi-spherical approximation, describing radiation…
A large population of extended substructures generates a stochastic gravitational field that is fully specified by the function $p({\bf F})$, which defines the probability that a tracer particle experiences a force $\bf F$ within the…
