Stealth Acceleration and Modified Gravity
We show how to construct consistent braneworld models which exhibit late time acceleration. Unlike self-acceleration, which has a de Sitter vacuum state, our models have the standard Minkowski vacuum and accelerate only in the presence of matter, which we dub “stealth-acceleration”. We use an effective action for the brane which includes an induced gravity term, and allow for an asymmetric set-...
متن کاملCosmic Acceleration and Modified Gravity
Abstract I briefly discuss some attempts to construct a consistent modification to General Relativity (GR) that might explain the observed late-time acceleration of the universe and provide an alternative to dark energy. I mention the issues facing extensions to GR, illustrate these with two specific examples, and discuss the resulting observational and theoretical obstacles. This article compr...
متن کاملSpin and Maximal Acceleration
We study the spin current tensor of a Dirac particle at accelerations close to the upper limit introduced by Caianiello. Continual interchange between particle spin and angular momentum is possible only when the acceleration is time-dependent. This represents a stringent limit on the effect that maximal acceleration may have on spin physics in astrophysical applications. We also investigate som...
متن کاملSpin networks and quantum gravity.
We introduce a new basis on the state space of non-perturbative quantum gravity. The states of this basis are linearly independent, are well deened in both the loop representation and the connection representation, and are labeled by a generalization of Penrose's spin networks. The new basis fully reduces the spinor identities (SU(2) Mandelstam identities) and simpliies calculations in non-pert...
متن کامل0 Spin , gravity , and inertia
The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated. The exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is constructed for the Dirac particle coupled to the static spacetime metric. As a direct application, we analyze the non-relativistic limit of the theory. The new term describing the specific spin (gravitational moment) interaction effect is recovered in the Hamiltonian. ...
