The asymptotic form of the energy density for a gas of particles surrounding a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is studied using Einstein's equations. It is shown that if the pressure of the gas $p$ varies linearly with the energy density…
We apply the supersymmetry approach to one-dimensional quantum systems with spatially-dependent mass, by including their ordering ambiguities dependence. In this way we extend the results recently reported in the literature. Furthermore, we…
Using the Einstein-Cartan-Dirac theory, we study the effect of torsion on neutrino oscillation. We see that torsion cannot induce neutrino oscillation, but affects it whenever oscillation exists for other reasons. We show that the torsion…
The dynamics of a quantum system undergoing frequent "measurements", leading to the so-called quantum Zeno effect, is examined on the basis of a neutron-spin experiment recently proposed for its demonstration. When the spatial degrees of…
We examine the possibility that a significant component of the energy density of the universe has an equation-of-state different from that of matter, radiation or cosmological constant ($\Lambda$). An example is a cosmic scalar field…
In this paper it is shown that a recent formulation of the electron in terms of a Kerr-Newman type metric, exhibits a short range magnetic effect, as indeed has been observed at Cornell, and also an Aharonov-Bohm type of an effect.
As it is well known the topology of space is not totally determined by Einstein's equations. It is considered a massless scalar quantum field in a static Euclidean space of dimension 3. The expectation value for the energy density in all…
The paper proposes an acceleration effect that a local short-time acceleration produces an additional broadening to spectral line, while the central value of the line remains unaffected. The effect can be considered as a local and…
We have estimated higher order quantum gravity corrections to de~Sitter spacetime. Our results suggest that, while the classical spacetime metric may be distorted by the graviton self-interactions, the corrections are relatively weaker than…
This note tackles the problem of the backscattering of a mass-less scalar field in the case of Schwarzschildean space-time. It shows that the effect depends both on a distance from the horizon and on the wave length. The obtained estimates…
Variations around the average density and composition of the Earth mantle may affect long-baseline (anti)neutrino oscillations through matter effects. For baselines not exceeding a few thousand km, such effects are known to be very small,…
This note presents a simple argument showing that dark matter is an effect of $f(R)$ gravity based on the definition of slightly modified gravitational theories previously proposed by the author.
Searches for dispersive effects in the propagation of light at cosmological distances have been touted as sensitive probes of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) and of theories of quantum gravity. Frequency-dependent time lags between…
Effects of the short-range tensor interaction on the density-dependence of nuclear symmetry energy are examined by applying an approximate expression for the second-order tensor contribution to the symmetry energy derived earlier by G.E.…
By combining the recent data from AMS-02 with those from Fermi-LAT, we show the emergence of a charge asymmetry in the electron and positron cosmic-ray excesses, slightly favoring the electron component. Astrophysical and dark matter…
We study potentially observable consequences of spatiotemporal discreteness for the motion of massive and massless particles. First we describe some simple intrinsic models for the motion of a massive point particle in a fixed causal set…
We investigate the effects of homogeneous general dark energy on the non-linear matter perturbation in fully general relativistic context. The equation for the density contrast contains even at linear order new contributions which are…

We study the bending of light for static spherically symmetric (SSS) space-times which include a dark energy contribution. Geometric dark energy models generically predict a correction to the Einstein angle written in terms of the distance…
