Hidden geometries in nonlinear theories: a novel aspect of analogue gravity
We show that nonlinear dynamics of a scalar field ϕ may be described as a modification of the spacetime geometry. Thus, the self-interaction is interpreted as a coupling of the scalar field with an effective gravitational metric that is constructed with ϕ itself.We…
The gravitational mechanism to generate mass
The purpose of this work is to show that the gravitational interaction is able to generate mass for all bodies. The condition for this is the existence of an energy distribution represented by the vacuum or the cosmological constant. Author: M. Novello. Artigo…
Geometric scalar theory of gravity
We present a geometric scalar theory of gravity. Our proposal will be described using the “background field method” introduced by Gupta, Feynman, Deser and others as a field theory formulation of general relativity. We analyze previous criticisms against scalar gravity and show…
Geometrizing Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
We propose a new approach to describe quantum mechanics as a manifestation of non-Euclidean geometry. In particular, we construct a new geometrical space that we shall call Qwist. A Qwist space has a extra scalar degree of freedom that ultimately will be identified…
Eletromagnectic Geometry
We show that Maxwell’s electromagnetism can be mapped into the Born-Infeld theory in a curved space-time which depends only on the electromagnetic field in a specific way. This map is valid for any value of the two lorentz invariants F and G…
On a geometrical description of quantum mechanics
We show that quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a modification of the Euclidean nature of 3-d space into a particular affine space, which we call Q-wis. This is proved using the Bohm–de Broglie causal formulation of quantum mechanics. In…
