Numerical simulations of gravitational collapse in Einstein-aether theory
We study gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field in Einstein-aether theory (general relativity coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector field). The initial value formulation is developed, and numerical simulations are performed. The collapse produces regular, stationary black holes, as long as the aether coupling constants are not too large. For larger couplings a fini...
متن کاملMaxwell's Equations and Einstein-Gravity in the Planck Aether Model of a Unified Field Theory
In the Planck aether substratum model it is assumed that space is densely filled with both positive and negative Planck masses described by a nonlinear nonrelativistic operator field equation. Without expenditure of energy this substratum can form a lattice of vortex rings, with the vortex core radius equal the Planck length. The vortex ring radius is determined by a universal minimum energy qu...
متن کاملEinstein-aether Theory *
Could there be an æther after all and we have just not yet noticed it? By an “æther” of course we do not mean to suggest a mechanical medium whose deformations correspond to electromagnetic fields, but rather a locally preferred state of rest at each point of spacetime, determined by some hitherto unknown physics. Such a frame would not be determined by a circumstance such as the moon’s gravita...
متن کاملEinstein-aether as a quantum effective field theory
The possibility that Lorentz symmetry is violated in gravitational processes is relatively unconstrained by experiment, in stark contrast with the level of accuracy to which Lorentz symmetry has been confirmed in the matter sector. One model of Lorentz violation in the gravitational sector is Einstein-aether theory, in which Lorentz symmetry is broken by giving a vacuum expectation value to a d...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Einstein-Aether Theory
We study black hole solutions in general relativity coupled to a unit timelike vector field dubbed the “aether”. To be causally isolated a black hole interior must trap matter fields as well as all aether and metric modes. The theory possesses spin-0, spin1, and spin-2 modes whose speeds depend on four coupling coefficients. We find that the full three-parameter family of local spherically symm...
