J ul 1 99 7 Effective dynamics of self – gravitating extended objects

چکیده
We introduce an effective Lagrangian which describes the classical and semi-classical dynamics of spherically symmetric, self-gravitating objects that may populate the Universe at large and small (Planck) scale. These include worm-holes, black holes and inflationary bubbles. We speculate that such objects represent some possible modes of fluctuation in the primordial spacetime foam out of which our universe was born. Several results obtained by different methods are encompassed and reinterpreted by our effective approach. As an example, we discuss: i) the gravitational nucleation coefficient for a pair of Minkowski bubbles, and ii) the nucleation coefficient of an inflationary vacuum bubble in a Minkowski background 2

Self-gravitating elastic bodies
Extended objects in GR are often modelled using distributional solutions of the Einstein equations with point-like sources, or as the limit of infinitesimally small “test” objects. In this note, I will consider models of finite self-gravitating extended objects, which make it possible to give a rigorous treatment of the initial value problem for (finite) extended objects.
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملInstructive Properties of Quantized Gravitating Dust Shell
We investigate quantum dynamics of self-gravitating spherical dust shell. The wave functions of discrete spectrum are not localized inside the Schwarzschild radius. We argue that such shells can transform into white holes (in another space). It is plausible that shells with bare masses larger than the Planck mass loose their mass emitting lighter shells. Thin dust shell is one of the simplest m...
متن کاملSelf-gravitating system made of axions
We show that the inclusion of an axion-like effective potential in the construction of a selfgravitating system made of scalar fields leads to a decrease on its compactness when the value of the self-interaction coupling constant is increased. By including the current values for the axion mass m and decay constant fa, we have computed the mass and the radius for self-gravitating systems made of...

We discuss the implications of two possible, recent Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) detections for which no optical or X–ray counterparts have been found. This suggests that the objects reside at high redshift, which is difficult to reconcile with a critical cosmology. We develop this argument and find that an open model with Ωo = 0.2 remains consistent with what we currently know about the two objects...
