We report on the effects of an electrical charge on mechanical loss of a fused silica disk. A degradation of Q was seen that correlated with charge on the surface of the sample. We examine a number of models for charge damping, including eddy current damping and loss due to polarization. We conclude that rubbing friction between the sample and a piece of dust attracted by the charged sample is ...

Electromagnetic rigidity which exists in large-scale optical resonators if pumping frequency is detuned from the eigenfrequency of resonator have sophisticated spectral dependence which allows to obtain sensitivity better than the Standard Quantum Limits both for the free test mass and the harmonic oscillator.

We consider global properties of gravitomagnetism by investigating the grav-itomagnetic field of a rotating cosmic string. We show that although the gravitomagnetic field produced by such a configuration of matter vanishes locally , it can be detected globally. In this context we discuss the gravitational analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

We show that topological 3D gravity with torsion can be formulated as a Chern-Simons gauge theory, provided a specific parameter, known as the effective cosmological constant, is negative. In that case, the boundary dynamics of the theory corresponding to anti-de Sitter boundary conditions is described by a conformal field theory with two different central charges.

Wormholes have been advanced as both a method for circumventing the limitations of the speed of light as well as a means for building a time machine (to travel to the past). Thus it is argued that General Relativity may allow both of these possibilities. In this note I argue that traversable wormholes connecting otherwise causally disconnected regions, violate two of the most fundamental princi...
