چکیده
Abstract The propagation of the packets left-handed plane wave solutions massless Dirac equation is studied in spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) space-times. Assuming that observations are performed physical frames with Painlevé–Gullstrand coordinates, current and energy–momentum tensor derived, emphasising their severe decay moderate dispersion during propagation. As move along null geodesics, interesting effects produced by apparent or event horizons.

Quantum walks as massless Dirac fermions in curved space-time
A particular family of timeand space-dependent discrete-time quantum walks (QWs) is considered in onedimensional physical space. The continuous limit of these walks is defined through a procedure discussed here and computed in full detail. In this limit, the walks coincide with the propagation of a massless Dirac fermion in an arbitrary gravitational field. A QW mimicking the radial propagation...
متن کاملMassless DKP fields in Riemann-Cartan space-times
We study massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) fields in the context of Einstein-Cartan gravitation theory. In the case of an identically vanishing torsion (Riemannian space-times) we show that there exists local gauge symmetries which reproduce the usual gauge symmetries for the massless scalar and electromagnetic fields. On the other hand, similarly to what happens with the Maxwell theory, a no...

863 news & views and patterning, opens up a wide range of new applications for hot-electron-driven chemistry. The LEE source might also prove a critical tool for obtaining a deeper nanoscale understanding of radiation chemistry and biology, and material degradation by high-energy radiation in general. The quantum description of spin-1/2 particles is given by the solutions of the Dirac equation....
متن کاملOn massless 4D Gravitons from Asymptotically AdS5 Space-times
We investigate the conditions for obtaining four-dimensional massless spin-2 states in the spectrum of fluctuations around an asymptotically AdS5 solution of EinsteinDilaton gravity. We find it is only possible to have normalizable massless spin-2 modes if the space-time terminates at some IR point in the extra dimension, far from the UV AdS boundary, and if suitable boundary conditions are imp...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations of brane-induced gravity and the vDVZ discontinuity on FLRW space-times
We investigate the cosmological perturbations of the brane-induced (Dvali-GabadadzePorrati) model which exhibits a van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity when linearized over a Minkowski background. We show that the linear brane scalar cosmological perturbations over an arbitrary Friedmann-Lemâıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime have a well defined limit when the radius of transition ...
