New varying speed of light theories
We review recent work on the possibility of a varying speed of light (VSL). We start by discussing the physical meaning of a varying c, dispelling the myth that the constancy of c is a matter of logical consistency. We then summarize the main VSL mechanisms proposed so far: hard breaking of Lorentz invariance; bimetric theories (where the speeds of gravity and light are not the same); locally L...

متن کاملCosmological solutions of time varying speed of light theories
We consider scalar-tensor theory for describing varying speed of light in a spatially flat FRW space-time. We find some exact solutions in the metric and Palatini formalisms. Also we examine the dynamics of this theory by dynamical system method assuming a ΛCDM background and we find some exact solutions by considering the character of critical points of the theory in both formalisms. We show t...
متن کاملOn a Lorentz covariant matrix regularization of membrane theories
A Lorentz covariant matrix regularization of membrane thories is studied. It is shown that the action for a bosonic membrane can be defined by matrix regularization in a Lorentz covariant manner. The generator of area preserving diffeomorphism can also be consistently defined by matrix regularization, and we can make the area preserving gauge symmetry manifest. However, the reparametrization BR...
متن کاملEndomorphisms and automorphisms of locally covariant quantum field theories
In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of ∗-algebras. It is proposed that the global gauge group of such a theory can be identified as the group of automorphisms of the defining functor. Consequently, multiplets of fields may be identified at the functorial level. It is shown that locally covaria...
