Signature-change events in emergent spacetimes with anisotropic scaling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the behaviour of quantum fields coupled to a spacetime geometry exhibiting finite regions of Euclidean (Riemannian) signature, and demonstrate its direct physical relevance for an explicitly realizable condensed matter system whose linearized perturbations experience an effective emergent spacetime geometrical geometry with externally controllable signature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zeta Functions and the Casimir Energy

TL;DR: In this article, a finite definition for the Casimir energy of an arbitrary ultrastatic spacetime with or without boundaries is given, which is intimately related to, but not identical to, the one-loop effective energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Painlevé–Gullstrand coordinates versus Kerr spacetime geometry

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the tension between the possible existence of Painleve-Gullstrand coordinate systems versus the explicit geometrical features of the Kerr spacetime.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Kiselev black hole is neither perfect fluid, nor is it quintessence

TL;DR: The Kiselev black hole model is an extremely popular toy model, with over 200 direct and indirect citations as of 2019 as mentioned in this paper, but despite repeated assertions to the contrary, this is not a perfect fluid spacetime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Warped space-time for phonons moving in a perfect nonrelativistic fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, a kinematical analogue of superluminal travel in the warped space-times curved by gravitation, in the form of super-phononic travel, was constructed.
