On A Special Symmetry In The Dynamics Of Complex Systems In A Holographic-Type Perspective

By operating with the Scale Relativity Theory in the dynamics of complex systems, we can achieve a description of these complex systems through a holographic-type perspective. Then, gauge invariances of a Riccati-type become functional in complex system dy ...

Void Lensing in Cubic Galileon Gravity

Jiaxi Yu, Cheng Zhao, Huanyuan Shan, Qiao Wang, Jun Zhang

Weak-lensing studies via cosmic voids are a promising probe of modified gravity (MG). The excess surface mass density (ESD) is widely used as a lensing statistic in weak-lensing research. In this paper, we use the ray-tracing method to study the ESD around ...

Coupling metric-affine gravity to a Higgs-like scalar field

Sebastian Zell

General relativity (GR) exists in different formulations. They are equivalent in pure gravity but generically lead to distinct predictions once matter is included. After a brief overview of various versions of GR, we focus on metric-affine gravity, which a ...

A simple theoretical model for estimating the frequency characteristics of black hole mergers

Roberto Guarino

Gravitational waves, despite predicted within the Theory of General Relativity about a century ago, were observed experi-mentally only in the last few years, thanks to the recent advances of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. In this work, we introduce a simple ...

Cosmology with Large Scale Structures using Massive Spectroscopic Surveys

Amélie Tamone

Spectroscopic surveys aim to map large fractions of the Universe to study the Large Scale Structures (LSS). LSS evolution traces the distribution of matter as a result of the tension between the expansion of the Universe and the gravitational forces, which ...

The competent Computational Thinking Test: Development and Validation of an Unplugged Computational Thinking Test for Upper Primary School

Francesco Mondada, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

With the increasing importance of Computational Thinking (CT) at all levels of education, it is essential to have valid and reliable assessments. Currently, there is a lack of such assessments in upper primary school. That is why we present the development ...

Self-Structuring Of Cellular And Channel Type In Complex System Dynamics In The Framework Of Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, by analyzing dynamics of complex system structural units based on multifractal curves, both Schrodinger and Madelung approaches are functional and complementary. The Madelung selected approach involve synchronou ...

Non-Linear Behaviors Of Airy Type On Scales Space From A Fractal Perspective

Maria-Alexandra Paun

Several non-linear behaviors in scales space, in the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, are highlighted. All these are possible through the employment of fractal-type Airy functions, which allow a revaluation of the wave/corpuscle duality, from the pers ...

Testing general relativity on cosmological scales at redshift z similar to 1.5 with quasar and CMB lensing

Cheng Zhao

We test general relativity (GR) at the effective redshift (z) over tilde similar to 1.5 by estimating the statistic E-G, a probe of gravity, on cosmological scales 19 - 190 h(-1)Mpc. This is the highest redshift and largest scale estimation of E-G so far. ...

Ill-posedness of the quasilinear wave equation in the space 𝐻7/4(ln𝐻)−𝛽in ℝ2+1

Gaspard Ohlmann

We are interested in the well posedness of quasilinear partial differential equations of order two. Motivated by the study of the Einstein equation in relativity theory, there are a number of works dedicated to the local well-posedness issue for the quasil ...

Euclid preparation: IX. EuclidEmulator2-power spectrum emulation with massive neutrinos and self-consistent dark energy perturbations

Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli

We present a new, updated version of the EuclidEmulator (called EuclidEmulator2), a fast and accurate predictor for the nonlinear correction of the matter power spectrum. 2 per cent level accurate emulation is now supported in the eight-dimensional paramet ...

A teaching showcase unveils the links between special relativity and the birth of quantum physics

Giorgio Margaritondo

Quantum effects scale up with the frequency of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, modern synchrotron sources of high-frequency x-rays-that can be visited by students either personally or online-offer an opportunity for a captivating introduction to basic qu ...

Supergravity with broken Lorentz invariance: theory and phenomenological consequences

Sergey Sibiryakov

We construct and study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational theory. Using superfield formalism we carry out unique linearized Lorentz violating supergravity action invariant under super-gauge transformations and obtain its bosonic ...

Inconsistency of an inflationary sector coupled only to Einstein gravity

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

From a model-building perspective, the inflationary sector might very well have no direct couplings to other species, apart from inevitable gravitational interactions. Within the context of General Relativity, a thermal universe can still emerge after infl ...

Testing gravity with galaxy-galaxy lensing and redshift-space distortions using CFHT-Stripe 82, CFHTLenS, and BOSS CMASS datasets

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Huanyuan Shan

The combination of galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) and redshift space distortion of galaxy clustering (RSD) is a privileged technique to test general relativity predictions and break degeneracies between the growth rate of structure parameter f and the amplitu ...

What do gravitons say about (unimodular) gravity?

We revisit the problem of constraining the weak field limit of the gravitational lagrangian from S-matrix properties. From unitarity and Lorentz invariance of the S-matrix of massless gravitons, we derive on-shell gauge invariance to consist on the transve ...

Lorentz Force from a Current-Carrying Wire on a Charge in Motion under the Assumption of Neutrality in the Symmetrical Frame of Reference

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

It is commonly assumed that a wire conducting an electric current is neutral in the laboratory frame of reference (the rest frame of the lattice of positive ions). Some authors consider that the wire is neutral only in a symmetrical frame of reference, in ...

Gravity, scale invariance and the hierarchy problem

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin

Combining the quantum scale invariance with the absence of new degrees of freedom above the electroweak scale leads to stability of the latter against perturbative quantum corrections. Nevertheless, the hierarchy between the weak and the Planck scales rema ...
