General Relativistic Effects of Gravity in Quantum Mechanics

چکیده
We present a general relativistic framework for studying gravitational effects in quantum mechanical phenomena. We concentrate our attention on the case of ultra-relativistic, spin1/2 particles propagating in Kerr spacetime. The two-component Weyl equation with general relativistic corrections is obtained in the case of a slowly rotating, weak gravitational field. Our approach is also applied to neutrino oscillations in the presence of a gravitational field. The relative phase of two different mass eigenstates is calculated in radial propagation, and the result is compared with those of the previous works.

متن کاملSpacetime geometric structures and the Search for a Quantum Theory of Gravity
One of the biggest challenges to theoretical physics of our time is to find a background-independent quantum theory of gravity. Today one encounters a profusion of different attempts at quantization, but no fully accepted or acceptable, theory of quantum gravity. Any such approach requires a response to a question that lies at the heart of this problem. “How shall we resolve the tension between...
متن کاملGravitomagnetic Moments and Dynamics of Dirac (spin 12) fermions in flat space-time Maxwellian Gravity
The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated in a relativistically derived version of Heaviside’s speculative gravity ( in flat space-time) named here as “Maxwellian Gravity”. The standard Dirac’s approach to the intrinsic spin in the fields of Maxwellian Gravity yields the gravitomagnetic moment of a Dirac (spin 1/2) particle exactly equal to its intrinsic s...
متن کاملThe Quantization of Gravity — an introduction
This is an introduction to quantum gravity, aimed at a fairly general audience and concentrating on what have historically been the two main approaches to quantum gravity: the covariant and canonical programs (string theory is not covered). The quantization of gravity is discussed by analogy with the quantization of the electromagnetic field. The conceptual and technical problems of both approa...
متن کاملOn Local Observations in Quantum Gravity
By taking into account both quantum mechanical and general relativistic effects, I derive an equation that describes limitations on the measurability of space-time distances as defined by a material reference system. OUTP-96-09-P February 1996
