We derive the leading quantum corrections to the gravitational potentials in a de Sitter background, due to the vacuum polarization from loops of conformal fields. Our results are valid for arbitrary conformal theories, even strongly…
The notion of a non-perturbative effect is ambiguous if it requires the subtraction of a perturbative part defined by a diverging series. A common procedure consists in dropping the order of minimal contribution and the higher orders. This…
We examine the total energy E_tot(r) = 2 m_pole + V_QCD(r) of the b\bar b system within perturbative QCD up to O(\alpha_S^3). We extend a previous analysis by incorporating effects of the non-zero charm-quark mass in loops. We find that,…
In this work we determine a lower bound to the mean value of the quantum potential for an arbitrary state. Furthermore, we derive a generalized uncertainty relation that is stronger than the Robertson-Schr\"odinger inequality and hence also…
Small corrections to the uncertainty relations, with effects in the ultraviolet and/or infrared, have been discussed in the context of string theory and quantum gravity. Such corrections lead to small but finite minimal uncertainties in…
We give a general expression for the static potential energy of the gravitational interaction of two massive particles, in terms of an invariant vacuum expectation value of the quantized gravitational field. This formula holds for…
