Astrophysical and Cosmological Tests of Quantum Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We outline several proposals for astrophysical and cosmological tests of quantum theory. The tests are motivated by deterministic hidden-variables theories, and in particular by the view that quantum physics is merely an effective theory of an equilibrium state. The proposed tests involve searching for nonequilibrium violations of quantum theory in: primordial inflaton fluctuations imprinted on the cosmic microwave background, relic cosmological particles, Hawking radiation, photons with entangled partners inside black holes, neutrino oscillations, and particles from very distant sources.

Study of a Restricted Modified Gravity on astrophysical and cosmological scales
p { margin-bottom: 0in; direction: rtl; text-align: right; }p.ctl { font-size: 12pt; }a:link { color: rgb(0, 0, 255); } In this paper, we study a restricted modified gravity in which diffeomorphism symmetry is broken. We investigate the astrophysical implications of the model by using the corresponding gravitational potential. By using the weight function of the weak lensing , for the model,...
متن کاملCosmological constant in broken maximal sugras
We examine the form of the cosmological constant in the loop expansion of broken maximally supersymmetric supergravity theories, and after embedding, within superstring and M-theory. Supersymmetry breaking at the TeV scale generates values of the cosmological constant that are in agreement with current astrophysical data. The form of perturbative quantum effects in the loop expansion is consist...
متن کاملRunning G and Λ at low energies from physics at MX: possible cosmological and astrophysical implications
The renormalization group (RG) approach to cosmology is an efficient method to study the possible evolution of the cosmological parameters from the point of view of quantum field theory (QFT) in curved space-time. In this work we continue our previous investigations of the RG method based on potential low-energy effects induced from physics at very high energy scales MX . MP . In the present in...
متن کاملNonsymmetric Gravity and Noncommutative Signals *
Models in which the space-time metric g µν is not symmetric, i.e. g µν = g νµ may make predictions in scattering experiments, for example in a future e + e − linear collider, similar to those from noncommutative field theory. We compute the differential cross sections for pair annihilation , Bhabha and Møller scattering and find that both nonsymmetric gravity theory(NGT) and noncommutative fiel...
متن کاملCompressive and rarefactive dust-ion acoustic solitary waves in four components quantum plasma with dust-charge variation
Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...
