Caloric curves of classical self-gravitating systems in general relativity

TL;DR: Two types of normalization of energy and temperature are introduced to obtain asymptotic caloric curves describing, respectively, the cold and the hot spirals in the limit of classical self-gravitating systems.

How can General Relativity be formulated most canonically

TL;DR: In this article, Treder, V. de Sabbata, C. Sivaram, and C. Tversky discuss the origin of the problems arising for the canonical quantization of general relativity theory.

Evidence for Discovery of Gravitational Radiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the probability that all of these coincidences were accidental is extremely small and imply that electromagnetic and seismic effects can be ruled out with a high level of confidence.

K 2 0 and the Equivalence Principle

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of the long-lived neutral K meson and the absence of its decay into two pions, establishes that the gravitational masses of the K/sup o/ and K/Sup o/ are equal to a few parts in 10/sup -10/ of the k inertial mass.

Theories of Gravitation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic study of the theories of gravitation that have been proposed and restrict themselves to an investigation of the linear approximation since new connections with experiment can be expected in this order in χ only.
