At tree-level, scattering amplitudes involving only gluons or gravitons are unaffected by supersymmetry, allowing them to be efficiently encoded by and extracted from those of maximally supersymmetric (N=4,8) theories. This fails beyond…
In this paper, we discuss the self-consistency condition for the spherical symmetric Klein-Gordon equation, and then discuss a natural possibility that gravity and weak coupling constants g_G and g_W may be defined after g_{EM}. In this…
Consider a semiclassical Hamiltonian \begin{equation*} H_{V, h} := h^{2} \Delta + V - E \end{equation*} where $h > 0$ is a semiclassical parameter, $\Delta$ is the positive Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $V$ is a smooth, compactly supported…
A scalar, preferred-frame theory of gravitation is summarized. Space-time is endowed with both a flat metric and a curved, "physical" metric. Motion is governed by a natural extension of Newton's second law, which implies geodesic motion…
It has been proposed to abandon the requirement that parallel transporters in gauge theories are unitary (or pseudoorthogonal). This leads to a geometric interpretation of Vierbein fields as parts of gauge fields, and nonunitary parallel…
The factorization property of graviton scattering amplitudes is reviewed and show to be valid only if the "natural" value of the gyromagnetic ratio $g_S=2$ is employed -- independent of spin.
The question whether the invariant speed c, Planck constant h/, and gravitational constant G can be or should be put equal to 1 is analyzed. The discussion is based on fundamental considerations concerning the notion of physical quantity.…
In the new framework of gravitational quantum field theory (GQFT) with spin and scaling gauge invariance developed in Phys. Rev. D\textbf{93} (2016) 024012-1~\cite{Wu:2015wwa}, we make a perturbative expansion for the full action in a…
We explicitly calculate the moments t_n of general Heisenberg Hamiltonians up to sixth order. They have the form of finite sums of products of two factors, the first factor being represented by a multigraph and the second factor being a…
According to a prevailing opinion, the electron g-factor ge = 2 is exclusively a quantum feature. Here we demonstrate it could be explained classically only in relativistic terms. The electron is treated as an extended, continuous, but…
We study how, as a result of the scanning of supersymmetry breaking during the cosmological evolution, a relaxation mechanism can naturally determine a hierarchy between the weak scale and the masses of supersymmetric particles.…
We use effective field theory tools to study non-conservative effects in systems of gravitating objects in general spacetime dimension. Using the classical version of the Closed Time Path formalism, we treat both the radiative gravitational…
We derive exact operator average expressions for the first two spectral moments of nonequilibrium Green's functions for the Falicov-Kimball model and the Hubbard model in the presence of a spatially uniform, time-dependent electric field.…
A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…
The generic supersymmetric standard model is a model built from a supersymmetrized standard model field spectrum the gauge symmetries only. The popular minimal supersymmetric standard model differs from the generic version in having…
This article provides the details on the technical derivation of the gravitational waveform and total gravitational-wave energy flux of non-spinning compact binary systems to the 4PN (fourth post-Newtonian) order beyond the Einstein…
This paper constructs the multipole expansion (in general relativity) of the gravitational field generated by a slowly-moving isolated source. We introduce some definitions for the source multipole moments, valid to all orders in a…
In a previous work it was shown that the gravitational and inertial masses are correlated by an adimensional factor, which depends on the incident radiation upon the particle. It was also shown that there is a direct correlation between the…
We propose a gauge theory of gravitation. The gauge potential is a connection of the Super SL(2,C) group. A MacDowell-Mansouri type of action is proposed where the action is quadratic in the Super SL(2,C) curvature and depends purely on…
The gauge-invariant two-point function of the Higgs field at the same spacetime point can make a natural gauge-invariant order parameter for spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. However, this composite operator is ultraviolet divergent and…
