Cover Story: The total energy of isolated systems is a fundamental observable in general relativity. In spite of its pivotal role at the conceptual level, as well in the interpretation of LIGO-Virgo events, its operational meaning had not been explored before. The paper fills this gap and provides thought experiments to measure the total energy, both at spatial and at null infinity, in arbitrary dynamical spacetimes. View this paper

Topological susceptibility of the SU(3) gluon plasma is calculated by accounting for both factorized and non-factorized contributions to the two-point correlation function of topological-charge densities. It turns out that, while the factorized contr...

In flipped SU(5) grand unified theories, the partial decay lifetimes of certain nucleon decay channels depend generically on an unknown unitary matrix, which arises when left-handed lepton fields are embedded into anti-fundamental representations of...

In this paper, I investigate the existence of the NUT charge through the KTN spacetime using shadow observations of Sgr A*. I report that the range of my constraint for the NUT charge is between −0.5 and 0.5 for Schwarzschild-like and very slow...

We have derived the tensor amplitudes for partial wave analysis of ψ→ΔΔ¯, Δ→pπ within the helicity frame, as well as the amplitudes for the other decay sequences with same final states. These formulae are pract...

To the first post–Newtonian order, the gravitational action of mass–energy currents is encoded by the off–diagonal gravitomagnetic components of the spacetime metric tensor. If they are time–dependent, a further acceleration e...

The distribution of period ratios for 580 known two-planet systems is apparently nonuniform, with several sharp peaks and troughs. In particular, the vicinity of the 2:1 commensurability seems to have a deficit of systems. Using Monte Carlo simulatio...

In a seminal work, Hawking showed that natural states for free quantum matter fields on classical spacetimes that solve the spherically symmetric vacuum Einstein equations are KMS states of non-vanishing temperature. Although Hawking’s calculat...

Constraints on Metastable Dark Energy Decaying into Dark Matter

  • Leila L. Graef

18 September 2024

We revisit the proposal that an energy transfer from dark energy into dark matter can be described in field theory by a first order phase transition. We analyze a metastable dark energy model proposed in the literature, using updated constraints on t...

A scientific method that proposes a value Y to estimate a target value ρ is often subject to some level of uncertainty. In the Bayesian framework, the level of uncertainty can be measured by the width of the 68% interval, which is the range of th...
