- 30 March 2011
We show that vacuum fluctuations of the stress-energy tensor in two-dimensional dilaton gravity lead to a sharp focusing of light cones near the Planck scale, effectively breaking space up into a… Expand
Multivector Dirac Equation and ℤ 2-Gradings of Clifford Algebras
- R. A. Mosna, D. Miralles, J. Vaz
- Mathematics
- 1 September 2002
AbstractWe generalize certain aspects of Hestenes's approach to Dirac theory to obtain multivector Dirac equations associated to a large class of representations of the gamma matrices. This is done… Expand
Analogue model for anti-de Sitter as a description of point sources in fluids
- R. A. Mosna, J. P. M. Pitelli, Maur'icio Richartz
- Physics, Mathematics
- 28 November 2016
We introduce an analogue model for a nonglobally hyperbolic spacetime in terms of a two-dimensional fluid. This is done by considering the propagation of sound waves in a radial flow with constant… Expand
Geometry of the cholesteric phase
- Daniel A. Beller, Thomas Machon, +4 authors R. A. Mosna
- Physics, Materials Science
- 12 June 2014
We propose a construction of a cholesteric pitch axis for an arbitrary nematic director field as an eigenvalue problem. Our definition leads to a Frenet-Serret description of an orthonormal triad… Expand
Classical kinetic energy, quantum fluctuation terms and kinetic-energy functionals
- I. P. Hamilton, R. A. Mosna, L. D. Site
- Physics, Mathematics
- 17 September 2006
We employ a recently formulated dequantization procedure to obtain an exact expression for the kinetic energy which is applicable to all kinetic-energy functionals. We express the kinetic energy of… Expand
Quantum-classical correspondence via a deformed kinetic operator
- R. A. Mosna, I. Hamilton, L. D. Site
- Mathematics, Physics
- 13 April 2005
We propose an approach to quantum–classical correspondence based on a deformation of the momentum and kinetic operators of quantum mechanics. Making use of the factorization method, we construct… Expand
Variational approach to dequantization
- R. A. Mosna, I. Hamilton, L. D. Site
- Mathematics, Physics
- 8 November 2005
We present a dequantization procedure based on a variational approach whereby quantum fluctuations latent in the quantum momentum are suppressed. This is done by adding generic local deformations to… Expand
Evolution of populations expanding on curved surfaces
- Daniel A. Beller, Kim M. J. Alards, Francesca Tesser, R. A. Mosna, F. Toschi, W. Mobius
- Mathematics, Biology
- 1 September 2018
The expansion of a population into new habitat is a transient process that leaves its footprints in the genetic composition of the expanding population. How the structure of the environment shapes… Expand
