Theories with compact extra spatial dimensions felt only by gravity are subject to direct experimental tests if the compactification volume is large. Estimates of high-energy collider observables induced by graviton radiation into extra…
Gravitational interactions of higher spin fields are generically plagued by inconsistencies. We present a simple framework that couples higher spins to a broad class of gravitational backgrounds (including Ricci flat and Einstein)…
We discuss the possibility to extend the spectral action up to energy close to the Planck scale, taking also into account the gravitational effects given by graviton exchange. Including this contribution in the theory, the coupling constant…
An explanation is proposed for the fact that pp-waves superpose linearly when they propagate parallely, while they interact nonlinearly, scatter and form singularities or Cauchy horizons if they are antiparallel. Parallel pp-waves do…
Investigations of high-energy graviton-graviton and gluon-gluon scattering are performed in the leading eikonal approximation for the kinematic regime of large center of mass energy and low momentum transfer. We find a double copy relation…
We propose a phenomenological model where the gravitational interaction between dark matter and baryons is suppressed on small, subgalactic scales. We describe the gravitational force by adding a Yukawa contribution to the standard…
We present a physical scenario in which an electromagnetic field in a state consisted of photons whose energies are smaller than the energy gap of a two-state particle, interacts with the particle, for an arbitrarily long duration, as if it…
We review photon Bremsstrahlung in extra-dimensional models with massive gravitons. The photon spectrum is harder than in the Standard Model. In the RS scenario, radiative return to gravitons below the c.m. energy can lead to a considerable…
The description of gravitation in the framework of soliton interaction is considered for two nonlinear field models. These models are Born -- Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics and so-called Born -- Infeld type scalar field model. The last…
It is thought that gravitons are impossible to detect, even with the technological ability to construct experiments larger than Jupiter. However, in principle it is possible to detect the emission of single gravitons through the decoherence…
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity that embrace conformal coupling to the scalar curvature are the focal point of cosmology on discussions of inflation and late-time accelerating universe. Although there exists a stringent nucleo-synthesis…
A particle $\phi$ coupling to two photons couples also to charged particles, like protons, through a loop. If the particle is a light scalar this induced coupling to protons leads to non-newtonian forces. We show that the experimental…
Charged soft-matter systems--such as colloidal dispersions and charged polymers--are dominated by attractive forces between constituent like-charged particles when neutralizing counterions of high charge valency are introduced. Such…
Using relationships between open and closed strings, we present a construction of tree-level scattering amplitudes for gravitons minimally coupled to matter in terms of gauge theory partial amplitudes. In particular, we present examples of…
We argue that gravitational interactions between particles require a departure from the conventional picture of the quantum state of a multiparticle system in terms of tensor products of one-particle states. This modification is essential…
The field equations of a generalized $f(R)$ type gravity model, in which there is an arbitrary coupling between matter and geometry, are obtained. The equations of motion for test particles are derived from a variational principle in the…
There are three experimentally observed effects in rotating superconductors that are so far unexplained. Some authors have tried to interpret such a phenomena as possible new gravitational properties of coherent quantum systems: in…
In 1992, E.E.Podkletnov and R.Nieminen find that, under certain conditions, ceramic superconductor with composite structure has revealed weak shielding properties against gravitational force. In classical Newton's theory of gravity and even…
This paper discusses the somewhat unintuitive conjecture that many Lorentz-invariant many-particle models can be reinterpreted to satisfy the gtr field equations. It is shown that a careful remapping of coordinates yields a non-trivial…
We show that the recently proposed weak gravity conjecture\cite{AMNV0601} can be extended to a class of scalar field theories. Taking gravity into account, we find an upper bound on the gravity interaction strength, expressed in terms of…
