Quantum Geometry and its Implications for Black Holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
General relativity successfully describes space-times at scales that we can observe and probe today, but it cannot be complete as a consequence of singularity theorems.

Heun Functions and Some of Their Applications in Physics

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Most of the theoretical physics known today is described by using a small number of differential equations. For linear systems, different forms of the hypergeometric or the confluent hypergeometric equations often suffice to describe the system studied.

A Lorentzian signature model for quantum general relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We give a relativistic spin network model for quantum gravity based on the Lorentz group and its q-deformation, the Quantum Lorentz Algebra. We propose a combinatorial model for the path integral given by an integral over suitable representations of ...

Optimized Reputable Sensing Participants Extraction for Participatory Sensor Networks

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
By collecting data via sensors embedded personal smart devices, sensing participants play a key role in participatory sensor networks. Using information provided by reputable sensing participants ensures the reliability of participatory sensing data.

From Physics Model to Results: An Optimizing Framework for Cross‐Architecture Code Generation

open access: yesScientific Programming, Volume 21, Issue 1-2, Page 1-16, 2013., 2013
Starting from a high‐level problem description in terms of partial differential equations using abstract tensor notation, the Chemora framework discretizes, optimizes, and generates complete high performance codes for a wide range of compute architectures. Chemora extends the capabilities of Cactus, facilitating the usage of large‐scale CPU/GPU systems

Hamiltonian approach to GR – Part 2: covariant theory of quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal C, 2016
A non-perturbative quantum field theory of General Relativity is presented which leads to a new realization of the theory of covariant quantum gravity (CQG-theory). The treatment is founded on the recently identified Hamiltonian structure associated with

What is General Relativity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
General relativity is a set of physical and geometric principles, which lead to a set of (Einstein) field equations that determine the gravitational field, and to the geodesic equations that describe light propagation and the motion of particles on the ...

Cosmology models with Ω_M-dependent cosmological constant [PDF]

open access: yesGen.Rel.Grav. 35 (2003) 1007-1016, 2002
We investigate the evolution of the scale factor in a cosmological model in which the cosmological constant is given by the scalar arisen by the contraction of the stress-energy tensor.

Numerical Approaches to Spacetime Singularities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This Living Review updates a previous version which its itself an update of a review article. Numerical exploration of the properties of singularities could, in principle, yield detailed understanding of their nature in physically realistic cases ...
