Conformal Dilaton Gravity and Related Issues: Block 1

  • Reinoud Slagter (ASFYON, Astronomisch Fysisch Onderzoek Nederland)

Description

In the vicinity of the horizon of a black hole, curvature will be huge, so quantum effects will become important. Many attempts were made to construct a renormalizable and unitary quantum gravity model. For example, the effective field theory, where one ignores what is going on at high energy, or modified gravity models, where one loses unitarity. Further, just as in the Standard Model, one needs gauge-fixing terms as well as ghost fields. There is, however, a promising route to tackle these problems arising in quantum gravity. This model, conformal dilaton gravity, was initiated by ‘t Hooft. It is conjectured that conformal invariance is an exact symmetry and spontaneously broken, comparable with the Higgs mechanism. One writes the spacetime as g=omega^2.g’, where omega is the dilaton field, to be handled on an equal footing as the Higgs field and g’the “un-physical” spacetime. In constructing an effective action, one then first integrate over omega and afterwards over matter fields and g’. To overcome unitarity problems, the ingoing observer and the outside observers experience different omega, i. e., scales at which quantum effects becomes important. In fact, the dilaton is locally unobservable. It is fixed when one chooses the global spacetime and coordinate system. The complementarity of the Hawking radiation on the black hole spacetime, can be reformulated in connection with the information paradox .Other question that will come up for discussion: How will particles transmit the information they carry when crossing the horizon? Are they pure states or mixed states? What are the microstates of a black hole? Is there no inside by an antipodal map?
In this parallel session, all the issues mentioned above can be presented.

    We are using information from a paper deriving a Lorentz-violating energy-momentum relation entailing an exact momentum cutoff as stated by G. Salesi . Salesi in his work allegedly defines Pre Planckian physics, whereas we restrict our given application to GW generation and DE formation in the first 10^-39s to 10^-33s or so seconds in the early universe. This procedure is inacted due to an...

    We applied the conformal dilaton gravity model on a BTZ-like black hole spacetime in five dimensions using the warped Randall-Sundrum-1 variant.
    We find exact $(t,r)$-dependent solutions for the dilaton field and the metric components, written as $g_{\mu\nu}=\omega^{\frac{4}{n-2}}\tilde g_{\mu\nu}$, from the 5D Einstein equations, as well as from the induced 4D Einstein equations on the...

    It has been known that the zero modes can contribute towards divergence in the entanglement entropy and the nature of the divergent term
    can be either log or log(log). However, a clear understanding of what
    leads to these two different forms of zero mode divergence is still lacking.
    So, in order to throw some light along this direction, I will talk about how
    these two different divergent...

    We follow an old hypothesis that there exists an intimate connection between weak interaction and gravity, symbolized by the relationship between the Fermi and Newton’s constants. We analyze the hypothesis that the effect of matter upon the metric that represents gravitational interaction in General Relativity is an effective one. This leads us to consider gravitation to be the result of the...

    The universe according to the tetron model consists of invisible tiny constituents, elastically bound with bond length about the Planck length and binding energy the Planck energy.
    A tetron transforms as the fundamental fermion(=octonion) representation 8 of SO(6,1). With respect to the decomposition SO(6,1)-->SO(3,1)xSO(3) a tetron possesses spin 1/2 and isospin 1/2, i.e. it represents an...

    Motivated by the fact that the null-shell of a collapsing black hole can be described by a perfectly reflecting accelerating mirror, we investigate an extension of this model to mirror semi-transparency and derive a general expression for the corresponding Bogoliubov coefficients. In so doing, we introduce the concept of ''impulsive accelerated mirrors", corresponding to those mirrors that...
