Differential geometric formulation of quantum gauge theory of gravity is studied in this paper. The quantum gauge theory of gravity which is proposed in the references hep-th/0109145 and hep-th/0112062 is formulated completely in the framework of traditional quantum field theory. In order to study the relationship between quantum gauge theory of gravity and traditional quantum gravity which is ...

We study a noncommutative theory of gravity in the framework of torsional spacetime. This theory is based on a Lagrangian obtained by applying the technique of dimensional reduction of noncommutative gauge theory and that the yielded diffeomorphism invariant field theory can be made equivalent to a teleparallel formulation of gravity. Field equations are derived in the framework of teleparallel...

One of the most remarkable basis of the gravity data inversion is the recognition of sharp boundaries between an ore body and its host rocks during the interpretation step. Therefore, in this work, it is attempted to develop an inversion approach to determine a 3D density distribution that produces a given gravity anomaly. The subsurface model consists of a 3D rectangular prisms of known sizes ...

The helicity flip of a spin2 Dirac particle interacting gravitationally with a scalar field is analyzed in the context of linearized quantum gravity. It is shown that massive fermions may have their helicity flipped by gravity, in opposition to massless fermions which preserve their helicity. 04.20.Cv, 04.60.+n Typeset using REVTEX 1 The behavior of a spinning particle in a gravitational field ...

One of the most important applications of gravity surveys in regional geophysical studies is determining the depth to basement. Conventional methods of solving this problem are based on the spectrum and/or Euler deconvolution analysis of the gravity field and on parameterization of the earth’s subsurface into prismatic cells. We have developed a new method of solving this problem based on 3D Ca...

The gravity field dedicated satellite missions like CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE are supposed to map the Earth’s global gravity field with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. New models of Earth’s static and time-variable gravity field will be available every month as one of the science products from GRACE. Here we present an alternative method to estimate the gravity field efficiently using the i...

Modelling the global gravitational field of the Earth in terms of spherical harmonic coefficients has been performed by a stand-alone inversion of a 4-month set of the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) Satellite Gravity Gradiometry (SGG) data and a 9-month set of the GOCE kinematic orbits, as well as by a combined inversion of the aforementioned data sets and 1-ye...

In this note we comment recent paper by A.V. Minkevich 'Regular inflationary cosmology and gauge theories of gravity' on the 'bouncing' character of flat-type inflationary cosmolog-ical models within gauge theories of gravity. Recently [1] it was argued that inflationary cosmological solutions in the case of flat models within the framework of gauge theories of gravity have 'bouncing' character...

The new satellite missions CHAMP, GRACE and GOCE will provide significantly improved global gravity field information in terms of quality and spatial resolution. In order to quantify the quality of these gravity field models independently from the estimation procedure, new validation concepts are necessary using external information. Validation requires the processing of selected level 3 produc...
