We discuss the definitions of standard clocks in theories of gravitation. These definitions are motivated by the invariance of actions under different gauge symmetries. We contrast the definition of a standard Weyl clock with that of a…
We consider Weyl gauge theories of gravity (WGTs), which are invariant both under local Poincar\'e transformations and local changes of scale. Such theories may be interpreted as gauge theories in Minkowski spacetime, but their…
The successful miniaturisation of extremely accurate atomic clocks and atom interferometers invites prospects for satellite missions to perform precision experiments. We discuss the effects predicted by general relativity and alternative…
Atomic clocks have recently reached a fractional timing precision of $<10^{-18}$. We point out that an array of atomic clocks, distributed along the Earth's orbit around the Sun, will have the sensitivity needed to detect the time dilation…
We examine the possibility that the gravitational contribution to the entropy of a system can be identified with some measure of the Weyl curvature. In this paper we consider homothetically self-similar spacetimes. These are believed to…
We study the variational principle over an Hilbert-Einstein like action for an extended geometry taking into account torsion and non-metricity. By extending the semi-Riemannian geometry, we obtain an effective energy-momentum tensor which…
Gravitational waves provide a unique window into gravity, cosmology, and high-energy physics, enabling the exploration of fundamental phenomena across a wide range of scales. This review presents a coherent and pedagogical framework that…
We hereby propose an alternative and additional angle on the nature of gravitational waves (GWs), postulating the theoretical and experimental possibility that GWs carry a deformation of the time component of spacetime, other than the…
We review (non-supersymmetric) gauge theories of four-dimensional space-time symmetries and their quadratic action. The only true gauge theory of such a symmetry (with a physical gauge boson) that has an exact geometric interpretation,…
The experimental possibility of detecting gravitational waves via their induced time perturbations is explored here, expanding from previous work. The oscillations of the time-time component in the metric are made explicit when working in…
In a previous paper, we presented new results on non-Riemannian geometry. For an asymmetric connection, we showed that a projective change in the symmetric part generates a vector field that is not arbitrary, but is the gradient of a…
We investigate the possibility that the observed behavior of test particles outside galaxies, which is usually explained by assuming the existence of dark matter, is the result of the dynamical evolution of particles in a Weyl type…
We provide a gauge-invariant theory of gravitation in the context of Weyl Integrable Space-Times. After making a brief review of the theory's postulates, we carefully define the observers' proper-time and point out its relation with…
In this paper we discuss on recent attempts aimed at demonstrating that, contrary to well-known results, the second clock effect (SCE) does not take place in generalized Weyl spaces -- spaces with arbitrary nonmetricity -- denoted here as…
Just after Weyl's paper (Weyl in Gravitation und Elektrizit\"at, Sitzungsber. Preuss. Akad., Berlin, 1918) Einstein claimed that a gravity model written in a spacetime geometry with non-metricity suffers from a phenomenon, the so-called…
In this paper we discuss on the phenomenological viability of nonmetricity theories of gravity which are based in the class of generalized Weyl spacetimes -- denoted by $W_4$ -- where arbitrary nonmetricity is allowed. This class of…
A simple modification to Einstein's theory of gravity in terms of a non-Riemannian connection is examined. A new tensor-variational approach yields field equations that possess a covariance similar to the gauge covariance of…
We show that tilted Weyl semimetals with a spatially varying tilt of the Weyl cones provide a platform for studying analogues to problems in anisotropic optics as well as curved spacetime. Considering particular tilting profiles, we…
Classical clocks measure proper time along their worldline, and Riemannian geometry provides tools for predicting the time shown by clocks in both flat and curved spacetimes. Common approaches to time in quantum systems, based for instance…
The dynamics of gravitational waves is investigated in full 3+1 dimensional numerical relativity, emphasizing the difficulties that one might encounter in numerical evolutions, particularly those arising from non-linearities and gauge…
