Journal ArticleDOI
Global properties of physically interesting Lorentzian spacetimes
Deloshan Nawarajan,Matt Visser +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the standard model of particle physics is also an extremely good representation of some parts of empirical reality; and we had better be able to carry over all the good features of the standard Model of particle Physics, at least into the realm of semi-classical quantum gravity.
Explicit formulae for surface gravities in stationary circular axi-symmetric spacetimes
Joshua Baines,Matt Visser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a functional decomposition for the spacetime metric and explicit tractable formulae for the surface gravities, in arbitrary stationary circular (PT symmetric) axisymmetric spacetimes, were developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree-level mass spectra in the observable sector
TL;DR: In this article, the tree-level masses in N = 1 supergravity coupled to gauged chiral matter are considered and an approximate spectrum is derived, assuming only that the D α terms vanish at the mimimum.
Effective exponential bounds on the prime gaps
TL;DR: In this article , a large number of effective exponential bounds on the first Chebyshev function ϑ ( x ) have been obtained, and the explicit presence of the exponential factor, with known coefficients and known range of validity for the bound, makes these bounds particularly interesting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining rotation curves and gravitational lensing: How to measure the equation of state of dark matter in the galactic halo
Tristan Faber,Matt Visser +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that combined observations of galaxy rotation curves and gravitational lensing not only allow the deduction of a galaxy's mass profile, but also yield information about the pressure in the galactic fluid.
