Gravitoelectromagnetism : the Lense-Thirring Effect Gravitoelectromagnetism : The Lense-Thirring Effect Vasco Miguel Roldão Manteigas Extended abstract written to Obtain the Master of Science Degree in Physics Engineering Instituto Superior Técnico - Department of Physics Abstract General Relativity is the major theorical framework that explaind many gravitational phenomena in our Universe, and several experiments was planed and executed to verify the main prediction of this theory. One of lastest tests involve the measure of the Lense-Thirring effect, predicted by GR and explained naturally with a special theorical framework which use a formal analogy of electrodynamics. Using the so called GEM (Gravitoelectromagnetism) framework, it's possible ao ease the derivation and calculation of Lense-Thirring effect. Using the lastest data from Gravity Probe B, so far, the theorical prediction in GR/GEM agrees the experimental data obtained from this probe. Keywords: Gravitoelectromagnetism, Gravity Probe B, Lense-Thirring Effect. 1.Introduction: In this little introductory paper will introduce 4 h00=− the basic mathematical formulation of c2 (1) Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) Model, And the new gravitomagnetic potential as: which is a formal analogy of 2 A h =− i (2) Electromagnetism when applied to the 0i c2 Linearized Solution of General Relativity, as described by Mashhoon [1].

  • Toy Models for Black Hole Evaporation
    UCSBTH-92-36 hep-th/9209113 Toy Models for Black Hole Evaporation∗ Steven B. Giddings† Department of Physics University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9530 Abstract These notes first present a brief summary of the puzzle of information loss to black holes, of its proposed resolutions, and of the flaws in the proposed resolutions. There follows a review of recent attempts to attack this problem, and other issues in black hole physics, using two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories as toy models. These toy models contain collapsing black holes and have for the first time enabled an explicit semiclassical treatment of the backreaction of the Hawking radiation on the geometry of an evaporating black hole. However, a complete answer to the information conundrum seems to require physics beyond the semiclassical approximation. Preliminary attempts to make progress arXiv:hep-th/9209113v2 11 Nov 1992 in this direction, using connections to conformal field theory, are described. *To appear in the proceedings of the International Workshop of Theoretical Physics, 6th Session, String Quantum Gravity and Physics at the Planck Energy Scale, 21 – 28 June 1992, Erice, Italy. † Email addresses: [email protected], [email protected]. Since the discovery of black holes, physicists have been faced with the possibility that they engender a breakdown of predictability. At the classical level this breakdown arises at the singularity. Classically we do not know how to evolve past it. Inclusion of quantum effects may serve as a remedy, allowing predictable evolution, by smoothing out the singularities of general relativity. However, as suggested by Hawking [1,2], quantum effects also present another sharp challenge to predictability through the mechanism of Hawking evaporation.

  • Quantum Vacuum Energy Density and Unifying Perspectives Between Gravity and Quantum Behaviour of Matter
    Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, Volume 42, numéro 2, 2017 251 Quantum vacuum energy density and unifying perspectives between gravity and quantum behaviour of matter Davide Fiscalettia, Amrit Sorlib aSpaceLife Institute, S. Lorenzo in Campo (PU), Italy corresponding author, email: [email protected] bSpaceLife Institute, S. Lorenzo in Campo (PU), Italy Foundations of Physics Institute, Idrija, Slovenia email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A model of a three-dimensional quantum vacuum based on Planck energy density as a universal property of a granular space is suggested. This model introduces the possibility to interpret gravity and the quantum behaviour of matter as two different aspects of the same origin. The change of the quantum vacuum energy density can be considered as the fundamental medium which determines a bridge between gravity and the quantum behaviour, leading to new interest- ing perspectives about the problem of unifying gravity with quantum theory. PACS numbers: 04. ; 04.20-q ; 04.50.Kd ; 04.60.-m. Key words: general relativity, three-dimensional space, quantum vac- uum energy density, quantum mechanics, generalized Klein-Gordon equation for the quantum vacuum energy density, generalized Dirac equation for the quantum vacuum energy density. 1 Introduction The standard interpretation of phenomena in gravitational fields is in terms of a fundamentally curved space-time. However, this approach leads to well known problems if one aims to find a unifying picture which takes into account some basic aspects of the quantum theory. For this reason, several authors advocated different ways in order to treat gravitational interaction, in which the space-time manifold can be considered as an emergence of the deepest processes situated at the fundamental level of quantum gravity.

Studies about a formal analogy between the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields lead to the notion of Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) to describe gravitation. In fact, the GEM equations correspond to the weak-field approximation of the gravitation field. Here, a non-abelian extension of the GEM theory is considered. Using the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism to introduce temperature effects, some interesting physical phenomena are investigated. The non-abelian GEM Stefan- Boltzmann law and the Casimir effect at zero and finite temperatures for this non-abelian field are calculated. 1.

    universe Article Gravitoelectromagnetism, Solar System Tests, and Weak-Field Solutions in f (T, B) Gravity with Observational Constraints Gabriel Farrugia 1,2,*, Jackson Levi Said 1,2 and Andrew Finch 2 1 Institute of Space Sciences and Astronomy, University of Malta, Msida MSD 2080, Malta; [email protected] 2 Department of Physics, University of Malta, Msida MSD 2080, Malta; andrew.fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 December 2019; Accepted: 14 February 2020; Published: 18 February 2020 Abstract: Gravitomagnetism characterizes phenomena in the weak-field limit within the context of rotating systems. These are mainly manifested in the geodetic and Lense-Thirring effects. The geodetic effect describes the precession of the spin of a gyroscope in orbit about a massive static central object, while the Lense-Thirring effect expresses the analogous effect for the precession of the orbit about a rotating source. In this work, we explore these effects in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity and investigate how these effects may impact recent and future missions. We find that teleparallel theories of gravity may have an important impact on these effects which may constrain potential models within these theories. Keywords: gravitoelectromagnetism; geodetic; Lense-Thirring; teleparallel; f (T, B) gravity 1. Introduction General relativity (GR) has passed numerous observational tests since its inception just over a century ago, confirming its predictive power. The detection of gravitational waves in 2015 [1] agreed with the strong field predictions of GR, as does its solar system behavior [2]. However, GR requires a large portion of dark matter to explain the dynamics of galaxies [3,4] and even greater contributions from dark energy to produce current observations of cosmology [5].

  • Fundamental Geometrodynamic Justification of Gravitomagnetism
    Issue 2 (October) PROGRESS IN PHYSICS Volume 16 (2020) Fundamental Geometrodynamic Justification of Gravitomagnetism (I) G. G. Nyambuya National University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Applied Sciences – Department of Applied Physics, Fundamental Theoretical and Astrophysics Group, P.O. Box 939, Ascot, Bulawayo, Republic of Zimbabwe. E-mail: [email protected] At a most fundamental level, gravitomagnetism is generally assumed to emerge from the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) as a first order approximation and not as an exact physical phenomenon. This is despite the fact that one can justify its existence from the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy-Momentum in much the same manner one can justify Maxwell’s Theory of Electrodynamics. The major reason for this is that in the widely accepted GTR, Einstein cast gravitation as a geometric phenomenon to be understood from the vantage point of the dynamics of the metric of spacetime. In the literature, nowhere has it been demonstrated that one can harness the Maxwell Equa- tions applicable to the case of gravitation – i.e. equations that describe the gravitational phenomenon as having a magnetic-like component just as happens in Maxwellian Elec- trodynamics. Herein, we show that – under certain acceptable conditions where Weyl’s conformal scalar [1] is assumed to be a new kind of pseudo-scalar and the metric of spacetime is decomposed as gµν = AµAν so that it is a direct product of the components of a four-vector Aµ – gravitomagnetism can be given an exact description from within Weyl’s beautiful but supposedly failed geometry. My work always tried to unite the Truth with the Beautiful, consistent mathematical framework that has a direct corre- but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the spondence with physical and natural reality as we know it.

In the present work, we the study boundary conditions and asymptotic symmetries of the U(1)3 model and show that while asymptotic spacetime translations admit well-defined generators, boosts and rotations do not. Comparing with Euclidean general relativity, one finds that the non-Abelian part of the SU(2) Gauss constraint, which is absent in the U(1)3 model, plays a crucial role in obtaining boost and rotation generators.
