Cover Story: The vacuum fluctuations of bulk fields induce a surface energy–momentum tensor on branes orthogonal to the AdS boundary. For an observer living on the brane, the corresponding equation of state is of the cosmological constant type. Depending on the boundary conditions and on the separation between the branes, the surface energy densities can be either positive or negative. The energy density induced on the brane vanishes in special cases of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on that brane. The effect of gravity is essential at separations between the branes of the order or larger than the curvature radius for AdS spacetime. In the large separation limit, the decay of the energy density, as a function of the proper separation, follows a power law for both massless and massive fields. View this paper

In this paper, we discuss quantum formalisms that do not use the axiom of choice. We also consider the fundamental problem that addresses the (in)correctness of having the complex numbers as the base field for Hilbert spaces in the København i...

Absorptive corrections, which are known to suppress proton-neutron transitions with a large fractional momentum z→1 in pp collisions, become dramatically strong on a nuclear target, and they push the partial cross sections of leading neutron pro...
