Energy nonconservation and relativistic trajectories: Unimodular gravity and beyond

Y Bonder, JE Herrera, AM Rubiol - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Energy conservation has the status of a fundamental physical principle. However,
measurements in quantum mechanics do not comply with energy conservation. Therefore, it …

Background independent field quantization with sequences of gravity-coupled approximants. II. Metric fluctuations

M Becker, M Reuter - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We apply the new quantization scheme outlined in M. Becker and M. Reuter, Phys. Rev. D
102, 125001 (2020) PRVDAQ 2470-0010 10.1103/PhysRevD. 102.125001, to explore the …

Inflation and the cosmological (not-so) constant in unimodular gravity

G Leon - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a mechanism for generating an inflationary phase in the early universe without
resorting to any type of scalar field (s). Instead, this accelerated expansion is driven by a …

Gravitational memory of Casimir effect

F Sorge - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the influence of a time-varying spacetime background on the vacuum
polarization of a massless quantum field confined to a Casimir cavity. The background is …

Interacting models of dark energy and dark matter in Einstein scalar Gauss Bonnet gravity

S Hussain, S Arora, Y Rana, B Rose… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the dynamics of the interacting models between the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupled
scalar field and the dark matter fluid in a homogeneous and isotropic background. A key …

Cosmological consequences of a scalar field with oscillating equation of state: A possible solution to the fine-tuning and coincidence problems

SX Tián - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We propose a new dark energy model for solving the cosmological fine-tuning and
coincidence problems. A default assumption is that the fine-tuning problem disappears if we …

Casimir effect in a weak gravitational field: Schwinger's approach

F Sorge - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we discuss the Casimir effect in a small cavity at rest in the weak gravitational
field of a massive, non-rotating source. We propose a new approach, based upon …

Induced cosmological anisotropies and CMB anomalies by a non-abelian gauge-gravity interaction

BH Lee, H Lee, W Lee, NA Nilsson, S Thakur - Physics of the Dark …, 2024 - Elsevier
We present a non-abelian cousin of the model presented in Lee et al.(2024) which induces
cosmological anisotropies on top of standard FLRW geometry. This is in some sense doing …

Progress in a vacuum weight search experiment

S Avino, E Calloni, S Caprara, M De Laurentis… - Physics, 2019 - mdpi.com
We present the status of the art of the Archimedes experiment, devoted to measuring the
debated interaction of quantum vacuum fluctuations and gravity. The method is essentially …

[PDF][PDF] Reinterpreting the CMBR Origin: A Transformative Approach to Resolving Cosmological Tensions

TK Lee - submitted to MNRAS, 2025 - researchgate.net
This study provides a novel reinterpretation of the origin of the Cosmic Microwave
Background Radiation (CMB) by examining the relationship between the spatial distribution …
