Non-minimal tinges of Unimodular Gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Unimodular Gravity is normally assumed to be equivalent to General Relativity for all matters but the character of the Cosmological Constant. Here we discuss this equivalence in the presence of a non-minimally coupled scalar field.

Unifying physics theories with a single postulate

open access: yesPhysics Open
Humans have developed mathematical theories to explain observed physical phenomena in nature. However, the links between these theories are not fully understood in 2024.

The history and the meaning of Einstein’s Principle of Equivalence

open access: yesScience & Philosophy, 2020
We review from a historical and a didactic point of view the Equivalence Principle, which was considered by Einstein as the corner stone of his new theory of Gravitation: the General Relativity.

Mass and energy in general relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the Denisov-Solov'ov example which shows that the inertial mass is not well defined in General Relativity. It is shown that the mathematical reason why this is true is a wrong application of the Stokes theorem. Then we discuss the role of the

The 5D Fully-Covariant Theory of Gravitation and Its Astrophysical Applications

open access: yesGalaxies, 2014
In this paper, we comprehensively review the five-dimensional (5D) fully-covariant theory of gravitation developed by Zhang two decades ago and its recent applications in astrophysics and cosmology. This 5D gravity describes not only the fields, but also

Some Thoughts on Relativity and the Flow of Time: Einstein's Equations given Absolute Simultaneity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The A-theory of time has intuitive and metaphysical appeal, but suffers from tension, if not inconsistency, with the special and general theories of relativity (STR and GTR).

Time in quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Quantum gravity--the marriage of quantum physics with general relativity--is bound to contain deep and important lessons for the nature of physical time.

The ΛCDM-NG Cosmological Model: A Possible Resolution of the Hubble Tension

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We offer a cosmological model based on conventional general relativity (no speculative physics) that may resolve the Hubble tension. A reanalysis of the foundation of the Lambda-CDM model shows that general relativity alone does not specify what fraction

Hierarchical Test of General Relativity with Gravitational Waves

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2019
We propose a hierarchical approach to testing general relativity with multiple gravitational wave detections. Unlike existing strategies, our method does not assume that parameters quantifying deviations from general relativity are either common or completely unrelated across all sources.
