Observable Effects of Chern-Simons Gravity
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Parvizi, Shahrokh (Supervisor)
Abstract
In low energy limit, some string theory models are described with an effective lagrangian which consist of two term. first is Eistein-Hilbert term and second is chern-simons. Adding the chern-simons term to Eistein-Hilbert lagrangian leads to the new modified field equations which schuwarzshild, Reissner-Nordstrom and FRW metrics satisfy these new modified equations while kerr metric is not a solution for these new fields. Since the gravitational field of spinning objects are similar to electromagnetic field, we expect to observe the chern-simons effects in gravitomagnetic component of the gravitational field. Here, in order to better understanding of subject, we investigate the Maxwell...
Dirac Equation on Kerr Spacetime
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mashhoon, Bahram (Supervisor) ; Baghram, Shant (Supervisor)
Abstract
The physical description of particles states in the quantum theory are characterized by means of theirs mass and spin. The inertial and gravitational properties of mass are already well known in mechanics and gravitation theories as well as their quantum counterparts. In spite of mass, the inertial and gravitational properties of intrinsic spin are not studied that much.In this thesis we review the inertial and gravitational properties of intrinsic spin. Initially we explore the general procedure to formulate Dirac equation in arbitrary curved spacetime. Then we write Dirac equation in Kerr spacetime to draw physical conclusions about the interaction of Dirac particles with the Kerr...
Modeling the Forces Acting on NASA's Probe B Satellite, Using Space-Time Fluid Analogy
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Taeibi Rahni, Mohamad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to study the analogy of space-time fluid flow around Earth and to investigate the hydrodynamic forces caused by this fluid on NASA's Probe B satellite. According to recent research, Einstein's and Navier-Stokes equations are the same. The properties of space-time fluid, including equation of state, compressibility, viscosity, flow field around Earth, and the hydrodynamic forces entering Probe B satellite, are unknown. There are two views about the viscosity of space-time fluid. Spherical mass of the three-dimensional spherical sink and the nature of the sphere located in the probe satellite without a spherical solid particle It are considered within this flow....
