Applications of Geometric Algebra to Physics: Theoretical Framework, Cosmological Hawking Radiation and Unruh Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the applications of Gauge Theory Gravity (GTG) within the language of geometric algebra to the Dirac equation in the de Sitter and Rindler metrics as well as to the Unruh effect. We rederive the Hawking temperature for each case. The derivation of both the correct Fermi-Dirac statistics as well as the Hawking temperature may suggest that the method of calculations we employ here geometric algebra is really powerful in dealing with the problems in various gravitational backgrounds.

Applications of Geometric Algebra to Black Holes and Hawking Radiation
This paper is about the application of geometric algebra to black holes. Geometric algebra is the natural extension of the concept of multiplication from real numbers to geometric objects. It is a Clifford algebra with a geometric interpretation. The most important tool within geometric algebra used here is the Gauge Theory of Gravity (GTG). The theory uses gauge fields to ensure that all relat...
متن کاملExotic quantum effects in the laboratory?
This article provides a brief (non-exhaustive) review of some recent developments regarding the theoretical and possibly experimental study of 'exotic' quantum effects in the laboratory with special emphasis on cosmological particle creation, Hawking radiation and the Unruh effect.

The aim of these notes is both to review the standard understanding of the Hawking effect, and to discuss the modifications to this understanding that might be required by new physics at short distances. The fundamentals of the Unruh effect are reviewed, and then the Hawking effect is explained as a " gravitational Unruh effect " , with particular attention to the state-dependence of this pictu...
متن کاملHawking-like Effects and Unruh-like Effects: toward Experiments ?
The Hawking effect and the Unruh effect are two of the most important predictions in the theoretical physics of the last quarter of the 20th century. In parallel to the theoretical investigations there is great interest in the possibility of revealing effects of this type in some sort of experiments. I present a general discussion of the proposals to measure the Hawking and Unruh effects and/or...
متن کاملHawking-Unruh Radiation and Radiation of a Uniformly Accelerated Charge
Hawking-Unruh radiation is a measure of the quantum fluctuations in the radiation of accelerated charges. In the case of uniform acceleration, the existence of Unruh radiation adds confidence that radiation exists at all, and helps clarify aspects of the equivalence between radiation in uniform acceleration and in a uniform gravitational field. 1 Hawking-Unruh Radiation According to Hawking [1]...
