Self-interacting gas in a gravitational wave field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate a relativistic self-interacting gas in the field of an external pp gravitational wave. Based on symmetry considerations we ask for those forces which are able to compensate the imprint of the gravitational wave on the macroscopic 4-acceleration of the gaseous fluid. We establish an exactly solvable toy model according to which the stationary states which characterize such a situation have negative entropy production and are accompanied by instabilities of the microscopic particle motion. These features are similar to those which one encounters in phenomena of selforganization in many-particle systems.

Calculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
متن کاملElectromagnetic and gravitational self-force on a relativistic particle from quantum fields in curved space
We provide a quantum field theoretical derivation of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equation, describing the motion of an electric point charge sourcing an electromagnetic field, which back-reacts on the charge as a self-force, and the Mino-Sasaki-Tanaka-Quinn-Wald (MSTQW) equation describing the motion of a point mass with self-force interacting with the linearized metric perturbations caused...
متن کاملResummation of the perturbation series for an interaction of a scalar field with a quantized metric
We consider a scalar field interacting with a quantized metric varying only on a submanifold (e.g. a scalar field interacting with a quantized gravitational wave). We explicitly sum up the perturbation series for the time-ordered vacuum expectation values of the scalar field. As a result we obtain a modified non-canonical short distance behavior.

We complete our study of the self-gravitating gas by computing the fluctuations around the saddle point solution for the three statistical ensembles (grand canonical, canonical and microcanonical). Although the saddle point is the same for the three ensembles, the fluctuations change from one ensemble to the other. The zeroes of the small fluctuations determinant determine the position of the c...
متن کاملQuantum theory of nonrelativistic particles interacting with gravity.
We investigate the effects of the gravitational field on the quantum dynamics of non-relativistic particles. We consider N non-relativistic particles, interacting with the linearized gravitational field. Using the Feynman Vernon influence functional technique, we trace out the graviton field, to obtain a master equation for the system of particles to first order in G. The effective interaction ...
