Spin-Gravity Coupling

چکیده
Here uμ is the unit four-velocity vector of the spinning mass; that is, uμ = dxμ/dτ , where xμ = (ct, x, y, z) and τ/c is the proper time. The signature of the metric is +2 throughout this paper. In the linear approximation of general relativity, with the spinning mass held at rest in the stationary exterior field of a rotating central source and keeping only first-order terms in spin, Fα = (0,F), where [4]

Test of Einstein equivalence principle for 0-spin and half-integer-spin atoms: search for spin-gravity coupling effects.
We report on a conceptually new test of the equivalence principle performed by measuring the acceleration in Earth's gravity field of two isotopes of strontium atoms, namely, the bosonic (88)Sr isotope which has no spin versus the fermionic (87)Sr isotope which has a half-integer spin. The effect of gravity on the two atomic species has been probed by means of a precision differential measureme...
متن کاملCoupling Between the Spin and Gravitational Field and the Equation of Motion of the Spin
In general relativity, the equation of motion of the spin is given by the equation of parallel transport, which is a result of the space-time geometry. Any result of the space-time geometry can not be directly applied to gauge theory of gravity. In gauge theory of gravity, based on the viewpoint of the coupling between the spin and gravitational field, an equation of motion of the spin is deduc...

The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the possibility of existence of a general spin-acceleration coupling in complete analogy with the well-known spin-rotation coupling. We argue that such a direct coupling between spin an...
متن کاملConsistent spin-two coupling and quadratic gravitation.
A discussion of the field content of quadratic higher-derivative gravitation is presented, together with a new example of a massless spin-two field consistently coupled to gravity. The full quadratic gravity theory is shown to be equivalent to a canonical secondorder theory of a massive scalar field, a massive spin-two symmetric tensor field and gravity. The conditions showing that the tensor f...
متن کاملAsymptotic symmetries of three-dimensional gravity coupled to higher-spin fields
We discuss the emergence ofW-algebras as asymptotic symmetries of higher-spin gauge theories coupled to three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We focus on models involving a finite number of bosonic higher-spin fields, and especially on the example provided by the coupling of a spin-3 field to gravity. It is described by a SL(3) × SL(3) Chern-Simons theory and...
متن کاملCan gravity distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos?
We show that spin-gravity interaction can distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrino wave packets propagating in a Lense-Thirring background. Using time-independent perturbation theory and the gravitational phase to generate a perturbation Hamiltonian with spin-gravity coupling, we show that the associated matrix element for the Majorana neutrino differs significantly from its Dirac counte...
