TLDR
In this paper, the authors argue that the recently discovered gapless mode of the singlet Higgs field represents the most natural dynamical agent of Newtonian gravity, and demonstrate why a space-time structure as in General Relativity is not in contradiction with a dynamical origin of gravity from a scalar field.
Abstract
We illustrate why a space-time structure as in General Relativity is not in contradiction with a dynamical origin of gravity from a scalar field. Further, we argue that the recently discovered gap-less mode of the singlet Higgs field represents the most natural dynamical agent of Newtonian gravity.

Fundamental scalar fields and the dark side of the universe

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of fundamental cosmological scalar fields is inferred based on the Papapetrou algorithm, and the first of these fields, identified with dark energy, has exceedingly small but finite (subquantum) Hubble mass scale (~ 10^-33 eV).

Statistical Models of Light with an Example in Relativistic Dynamics

Lukas A. Saul
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical model of the continuous electromagnetic media in which light can propagate is proposed, where the electromagnetic fields are of the same nature as more familiar force fields: statistical averages of underlying physical quantities.

Gravitational forces from Bose-Einstein condensation

TL;DR: In this article, Bose-Einstein condensation implies the existence of long-range order and of a gapless mode of the Higgs field, which gives rise to a $1/r$ potential and couples with infinitesimal strength to the inertial mass of known particles.

Are There Pressure Waves in the Vacuum

TL;DR: In this article, the Higgs vacuum is viewed as a Bose-Einstein condensate of ''phion'' particles, which yields a natural notion of the ''mean free path''.

A gap-less mode of the singlet Higgs field

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a description of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Singlet Higgs field theory, showing why one is faced with long-wavelength, collective modes of the scalar condensate with energy in the ∆-to-0$ limit.
