We investigate theories in which gravity arises as an entropic force. We distinguish between two approaches to this idea: holographic gravity, in which Einstein’s equation arises from keeping entropy stationary in equilibrium under variations of the geometry and quantum state of a small region, and thermodynamic gravity, in which Einstein’s equation emerges as a local equation of state from con...

Abstract We provide an updated study of some electronic properties graphene nanoscrolls, exploiting a related curved space Dirac equation for the charge carriers. To this end, we consider explicit parametrization in cylindrical coordinates, together with analytical solutions pseudoparticle modes living on two–dimensional background. These results are then used to obtain compact expression sampl...

In 1930 Moore and Van Slyke (1) reviewed the various physical measurements, refractometric and others, that might serve as measures of the protein concentration of plasma, and concluded that specific gravity was the most reliable if application was required to pathological as well as normal plasmas. For plasma of nephritic patients they found that the relation between protein concentration and ...

Using the Born-Oppenheimer idea we show that the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an oscillating regime can also allow a different type of semiclassical quantum gravity that preserves completely the unitary quantum evolution of a matter field, which reduces the same asymptotic limit as the others. We develop a perturbation method to find the quantum corrections of a matter field to the gravity. The s...
