چکیده
Abstract. We have recently demonstrated that Casimir energy due to parallel plates, including its divergent parts, falls like conventional mass in a weak gravitational field. The divergent parts were suitably interpreted as renormalizing the bare masses of the plates. Here we corroborate our result regarding the inertial nature of Casimir energy by calculating the centripetal force on a Casimir apparatus rotating with constant angular speed. We show that the centripetal force is independent of the orientation of the Casimir apparatus in a frame whose origin is at the center of inertia of the apparatus.

The well-known hierarchy between the Planck scale (∼ 10GeV) and the TeV scale, namely a ratio of ∼ 10 between the two, is coincidentally repeated in a inverted order between the TeV scale and the dark energy scale at ∼ 10eV implied by the observations. We argue that this is not a numerical coincidence. The same brane-world setups to address the first hierarchy problem may also in principle addr...

Abstract. It is shown that the commonly accepted definition for the Casimir scalar operators of the Poincaré group does not satisfy the properties of Casimir invariance when applied to the non-inertial motion of elementary particles while in the presence of external gravitational and electromagnetic fields, where general curvilinear coordinates are used to describe the momentum generators withi...

Third-order results for the structure functions of charged-current deep-inelastic scattering are discussed. New results for 11’th Mellin moment for F ν p−ν̄ p 2,L structure functions and 12’th moment for F ν p−ν̄ p 3 are presented as well as corresponding higher Mellin moments of differences between the respective crossing-even and -odd coefficient functions. Approximations in Bjorken-x space for...

We discuss recent progress made studies of bulk thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter through lattice simulations of QCD with an almost physical light and strange quark mass spectrum. We present results on the QCD equation of state at vanishing and non-vanishing quark chemical potential and show first results on baryon number and strangeness fluctuations, which might be measured in even...
