Scale-dependent and background-preserving gravity from an action: cosmological tests
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsWe investigate the observational implications of a gravitational model wherein the gravitational constant G and the cosmological constant $$\Lambda $$ Λ exhibit scale-dependent behavior at the perturbative level, while preserving the General Relativity ...

Polymatheia, 2021 Neste breve artigo tratamos da origem da atitude científica entre os filósofos gregos antigos, conhecidos como pré-socráticos. Nossa vindicação é de que tais filósofos instauraram os pressupostos filosóficos básicos do pensamento científico.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsIt is well known that a weak gravity limit can be associated with a restoration of Lorentz covariance. In this paper we present a physical example of a parity-even Einstein–Cartan domain wall (ECDW) embedded in a Weitzenböck zero connection vacuum ...

Emilie du Chatelet's Metaphysics of Substance [PDF]
, 2018 much early modern metaphysics grew with an eye to the new science of its time, but few figures took it as seriously as Emilie du Châtelet. Happily, her oeuvre is now attracting close, renewed attention, and so the time is ripe for looking into her ...

, 2012 We show that the path of any accelerated body in an arbitrary space-time geometry $g_{\mu\nu}$ can be described as geodesics in a dragged metric $\hat{q}_{\mu\nu}$ that depends only on the background metric and on the motion of the body.

Two-brane system in a vacuum bulk with a single equation of state
, 2012 We study the cosmology of a two-brane model in a five-dimensional spacetime, where the extra spatial coordinate is compactifed on an orbifold. Additionally, we consider the existence on each brane of matter fields that evolve in time.
