A quasiperiodic Gibbons-Hawking metric and spacetime foam.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a quasiperiodic self-dual metric of the Gibbons{Hawking type with one gravitational instanton per spacetime cell. The solution, based on an adaptation of Weierstrassian and functions to three dimensions, conforms to a de nition of spacetime foam given by Hawking.

Spacetime Foam and Vacuum Energy
The term Spacetime Foam was introduced for the first time by J.A. Wheeler at the end of the fifties to indicate that quantum fluctuations come into play at the Planckian scale, changing topology and metric [1]. Apart the pioneering path integral approach to Spacetime Foam, considered by S.W. Hawking [2], only recently the subject has been widely reconsidered in the context of brane physics [3],...
متن کاملA Spacetime Foam approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the cosmological constant are considered.
متن کاملWormholes and Spacetime Foam: an approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
This paper summarizes the contribution presented at the IX Marcel Grossmann Meeting (Rome, July 2000). A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N Schwarzschild wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is here proposed. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the ...
متن کاملNon-Riemannian effective spacetime effects on Hawking radiation in superfluids
Riemannian effective spacetime description of Hawking radiation in He− A superfluids is extended to non-Riemannian effective spacetime. An example is given of non-Riemannian effective geometry of the rotational motion of the superfluid vacuum around the vortex where the effective spacetime Cartan torsion can be associated to the Hawking giving rise to a physical interpretation of effective tors...

A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. We show that the qualitative behaviour of the fluctuation of the metric conjectured by Wheeler is here reproduced.
