چکیده

At high energy scale the only quantum effect of any asymptotic free and asymptoti-cally conformal invariant GUT is the trace anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor. Anomaly generates the new degree of freedom, that is propagating conformal factor. At lower energies conformal factor starts to interact with scalar field because of the violation of conformal invari-ance. We estimate the effect of such an interaction and find the running of the nonminimal coupling from conformal value 1 6 to 0. Then we discuss the possibility of the first order phase transition induced by curvature in a region close to the stable fixed point and calculate the induced values of Newtonian and cosmological constants.

I discuss some results we have obtained recently in a lattice model for quantized gravity coupled to scalar matter in four dimensions. We have looked at how the continuous phase transition separating the smooth from the rough phase of gravity is influenced by the presence of the scalar field. We find that close to the critical point, where the average curvature approaches zero, the effects of t...

Interaction of Low - Energy Induced Gravity with Quantized Matter – II . Temperature effects

At the very early Universe the matter fields are described by the GUT models in curved space-time. At high energies these fields are asymptotically free and conformally coupled to external metric. The only possible quantum effect is the appearance of the conformal anomaly, which leads to the propagation of the new degree of freedom-conformal factor. Simultaneously with the expansion of the Univ...

Simplicial gravity coupled to scalar matter

A model for quantized gravity coupled to matter in the form of a single scalar field is investigated in four dimensions. For the metric degrees of freedom we employ Regge’s simplicial discretization, with the scalar field defined at the vertices of the four-simplices. We examine how the continuous phase transition found earlier, separating the smooth from the rough phase of quantized gravity, i...

Phase transition of the dry friction between crystalline surfaces induced by normal load

A major source of energy dissipation and surface wear is the kinetic friction at the interfaces of sliding bodies. Traditionally, on a macroscopic scale, this undesirable effect is reduced with lubricating the surfaces by introducing oil into their interface. An interesting phenomenon, called superlubricity, has been reported on a nanometer scale where dry (without lubricant oil) fruition and w...
