Gravitationally induced electromagnetism at the Compton scale
It is shown that Einstein gravity tends to modify the electric and magnetic fields appreciably at distances of the order of the Compton wavelength. At that distance the gravitational field becomes spin dominated rather than mass dominated. The gravitational field couples to the electromagnetic field via the EinsteinMaxwell equations which in the simplest model causes the electrostatic field of ...
متن کاملGravitationally coupled scale-free discs
In a composite fluid system of two gravitationally coupled barotropic scale-free discs bearing a rotation curve v ∝ r and a power-law surface mass density Σ0 ∝ r −α with α = 1 + 2β, we construct coplanar stationary aligned and spiral perturbation configurations in the two discs. Due to the mutual gravitational interaction, there are two independent classes of perturbation modes with surface mas...
متن کاملGravitationally Induced Neutrino–Oscillation Phases
In this essay, we introduce a new effect of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. These phases arise from an hitherto unexplored interplay of gravitation and the principle of the linear superposition of quantum mechanics. In the neighborhood of a 1.4 solar–mass neutron star, gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases are roughly 20% of their kinemati...
متن کاملClassical Underpinnings of Gravitationally Induced Quantum Interference
We show that the gravitational modification of the phase of a neutron beam (the COW experiment) has a classical origin, being due to the time delay which classical particles experience in traversing a background gravitational field. Similarly, we show that classical light waves also undergo a phase shift in traversing a gravitational field. We show that the COW experiment respects the equivalen...
متن کاملGravitationally Induced Neutrino - Oscillation Phases " Tanmoy Bhattacharya
We critically examine the recent claim of a \new eeect" of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. A straightforward exercise in the Schwarzschild coordinates appropriate to a spherically symmetric non-rotating star shows that, although there is a general relativis-tic eeect of the star's gravity on neutrino oscillations, it is not of the form claimed, and is...
