We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a five dimensional (5D) Randall-Sundrum model with two branes (at $y_1$ and $y_2$) and $S^1/Z_2$ symmetry of the fifth dimension. The matter on the…

We exploit an ambiguity somewhat hidden in Noether's theorem to derive systematically, for relativistic field theories, the stress-energy tensor's improvement terms that are associated with additional spacetime symmetries beyond…

In the lightcone frame, where the supermembrane theory and the Matrix model are strikingly similar, the equations of motion admit an elegant complexification in even dimensional spaces. Although the explicit rotational symmetry of the…

A hypothesis of general relativity is that spacetime torsion vanishes identically. This assumption has no empirical support; in fact, a nonvanishing torsion is compatible with all the experimental tests of general relativity. The first part…

We consider the motion of spinning test particles with nonzero rest mass in the "pole-dipole" approximation, as described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon (MPD) equations, and examine its properties in dependence on the spin supplementary…

We consider a class of models with infinite extra dimension, where bulk space does not possess SO(1,3) invariance, but Lorentz invariance emerges as an approximate symmetry of the low-energy effective theory. In these models, the maximum…

We review (and extend) the analysis of general theories of all interactions (gravity included) where the mass scales are due to dimensional transmutation. Quantum consistency requires the presence of terms in the action with four…

We present a matrix formalism, inspired by the Minkowski four-vectors of special relativity, useful to solve classical physics problems related to both mechanics and thermodynamics. The formalism turns out to be convenient to deal with…

We discuss the quantum-bouncer experiment involving ultracold neutrons in a braneworld scenario. Extra-dimensional theories typically predict the strengthening of gravitational interactions over short distances. In this paper, we…

Each of the two moving observers observes the relative velocity of the other. The two velocities should be equal and opposite. We have shown that this relativistic requirement is not fulfilled by Lorentz transformation. We have also shown…

A new type of knot energy is presented via real life experiments involving a thin resilient metallic tube. Knotted in different ways, the device mechanically acquires a uniquely determined (up to isometry) normal form at least when the…

With a special Lorentz-M{\o}ller-Nelson (LMN) transformation found transformation of velocity from the laboratory system S to an accelerated, rotating frame of reference s. The physical sense of parameter entering into the LMN special…

The torque on a moving electric or magnetic dipole in slow motion is deduced using the Lorentz transformation of the fields to first order in v/c. It is shown that the obtained equations are independent of the model adopted for the dipole,…

We look at various correlation functions, which include those that involve both the velocity and the vorticity fields, in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic homogeneous unforced turbulence. We adopt the more intuitive approach due to Kolmogorov…

In flat spacetime, as a simple 4-vector, a particle's 4-velocity cannot be changed by translation. Parallel translation then produces constant velocity, motion without force. Here we consider a richer, but less well-known, representation of…

There exist instances of dynamical systems possessing symmetry transformations of which the conserved Noether charges generating these symmetries feature an explicit time dependence in their functional representation over phase space. The…

I give a brief overview of our current understanding of the internal partonic 3D structure of nucleons in momentum space. I discuss some recent extractions of transverse-momentum-dependent distributions for quarks, whose analyses in the…

The model of dual superconductivity has been revisited considering the $U(1)$-gauged Ginzburg-Landau lagrangian density on a non-commutative torus $T^{2}_{NC}$, according to a new approach, we propose, in dealing with non-commutative space…

A new first-order theory of relativistic dissipation has been recently proposed, where viscous effects are incorporated using the traditional Navier-Stokes framework. Its main novelty is the avoidance of dynamical instabilities by allowing…

We discuss the conditions under which a body, moving non-inertially in Minkowski space, can preserve its size. Under these conditions, using a series expansion of the generalized Lorentz transformation, we find a coor- dinate transformation…
