Gravitational energy in quadratic-curvature gravities.
We define energy (E) and compute its values for gravitational systems involving terms quadratic in curvature. There are significant differences, both conceptually and concretely, from Einstein theory. For D=4, all purely quadratic models admit constant curvature vacua with arbitrary Lambda, and E is the "cosmological" Abbott-Deser (AD) expression; instead, E always vanishes in flat, Lambda=0, b...
متن کاملNew Energy Definition for Higher Curvature Gravities
We propose a novel but natural definition of conserved quantities for gravity models quadratic and higher in curvature. Based on the spatial asymptotics of curvature rather than of metric, it avoids the GR energy machinery’s more egregious problems–such as zero energy “theorems” and failure in flat backgrounds – in this fourth-derivative realm. In D > 4, the present expression indeed correctly ...
متن کاملEffective Gravitational “Constant” in Scalar-(Curvature)Tensor and Scalar-Torsion Gravities
In theories where a scalar field couples nonminimally to gravity, the effective gravitational “constant” becomes dependent on the value of the scalar field. This note first gives a brief review on how the cosmological evolution provides a dynamical stabilization for the gravitational “constant” as the system relaxes towards general relativity in matter dominated and potential dominated regimes ...
متن کاملAll higher curvature gravities can be bootstrapped from their linearizations
We show that the full covariant versions of higher curvature order gravities, like that of GR itself, can be derived by self-coupling from their linear, flat space, versions. Separately, we comment on the initial version of the bootstrap.
متن کاملBerry curvature and energy bands of graphene
In this paper energy bands and Berry curvature of graphene was studied. Desired Hamiltonian regarding the next-nearest neighbors obtained by tight binding model. By using the second quantization approach, the transformation matrix is calculated and the Hamiltonian of system is diagonalized. With this Hamiltonian, the band structure and wave function can be calculated. By using calculated wave f...
