Testing Weak-Field Gravity
One of the most important problems in science today is the origin of \dark matter". Much of our understanding of the history and present state of the universe depends upon conjectures about the nature of dark matter. In some sense, our knowledge rests upon a \house of cards" which won't be buttressed until progress is made in identifying what dark matter represents. Most research today is found...
متن کاملWeak Gravity Conjecture for Noncommutative Field Theory
We investigate the weak gravity bounds on the U(1) gauge theory and scalar field theories in various dimensional noncommutative space. Many results are obtained, such as the upper bound on the noncommutative scale gYMMp for four dimensional noncommutative U(1) gauge theory. We also discuss the weak gravity bounds on their commutative counterparts. For example, our result on 4 dimensional noncom...
متن کاملAn effective vacuum refractive index from gravity and the present ether-drift experiments
Re-analyzing the data published by the Berlin and Düsseldorf ether-drift experiments, we have found a clean non-zero daily average for the amplitude of the signal. The two experimental values, A0 ∼ (10.5 ± 1.3) · 10 and A0 ∼ (12.1 ± 2.2) · 10 respectively, are entirely consistent with the theoretical prediction (9.7± 3.5) · 10 that is obtained once the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl anisotropy paramet...
متن کاملWeak Gravity Conjecture for the Effective Field Theories with N Species
We conjecture an intrinsic UV cutoff for the validity of the effective field theory with a large number of species coupled to gravity. In four dimensions such a UV cutoff takes the form Λ = √ λ/NMp for N scalar fields with the same potential λφ4i , i = 1, ..., N . This conjecture implies that the assisted chaotic inflation or N-flation might be in the swampland, not in the landscape. Similarly ...
متن کاملWeak-field gravity of circular cosmic strings.
A weak-field solution of Einstein’s equations is constructed. It is generated by a circular cosmic string externally supported against collapse. The solution exhibits a conical singularity, and the corresponding deficit angle is the same as for a straight string of the same linear energy density. This confirms the deficit-angle assumption made in the Frolov-Israel-Unruh derivation of the metric...
