QUANTUM FIELDS AND GRAVITATION.

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Valencia Province (NUTS ES523); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 60,500; EU co-financing EUR 30,250 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-01-01 to 2021-09-30.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): GRAVITY PLAYS A CENTRAL ROLE IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND IS A FUNDAMENTAL PIECE TO UNDERSTAND BOTH THE MACROSCOPIC AND THE MICROSCOPIC UNIVERSE, INCLUDING ALL FUNDAMENTAL FORCES AND THE NATURE OF SPACETIME ITSELF. GRAVITY IS NOT ANY MORE AN INNOCUOUS BACKGROUND, IRRELEVANT TO QUANTUM FIELD THEORY. THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING PAIRS OF PARTICLES OUT OF THE VACUUM IN THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE AND IN THE VICINITY OF BLACK HOLES ARE THE HALLMARKS OF COMBINING GRAVITY AND THE QUANTUM THEORY. THE WORLDWIDE EFFORT TO BUILD A VIABLE QUANTUM THEORY OF THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD REQUIRES OF BOTH THE TOP-DOWN AND THE BOTTOM-UP RESEARCH METHODS. OUR PROJECT FOLLOWS BOTH STRATEGIES. UNDOUBTEDLY, GENERAL RELATIVITY IS A A VERY SUCCESSFUL EFFECTIVE THEORY TO EXPLAIN THE GRAVITATIONAL LOW ENERGY/DENSITY REGIME. HOWEVER, TO PROPERLY TEST GRAVITATION WE HAVE TO GO BEYOND THE LIMITS OF GR AND EXPLORE ALL THE VIABLE MODIFICATIONS OF THE THEORY AND STUDY ITS PHYSICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR BLACK HOLES, COSMOLOGY, AND THE QUANTUM THEORY ITSELF. TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE BLACK HOLE RADIATION EFFECT AND TEST IT IN THE LAB ONE NEEDS TO STUDY THE SO-CALLED ANALOGUE-GRAVITY SCENARIOS. GRAVITATIONAL PARTICLE CREATION IS SO IMPORTANT THAT MERITS TO BE FURTHER EXPLORED IN MORE SOPHISTICATED SCENARIOS. WITH THE AIM TO SHED LIGHT ON ALL THIS ISSUES, THE RESEARCH LINES THAT OUTLINE OUR SUBPROJECT ARE THE FOLLOWING: - STUDY THE LIMITS AND EXTENSIONS OF GR IN BOTH WEAK AND STRONG GRAVITY REGIMES. - EXPLORE SUPERGRAVITY THEORIES AND THE PROPERTIES OF QUANTUM SPACE-TIMES. - INVESTIGATE ANALOG GRAVITY MODELS, THE HAWKING EFFECT, AND ITS MANIFESTATION IN BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES. - DEEPEN INTO THE PROPERTIES OF QUANTUM FIELD THEORY IN CURVED SPACE-TIMES AND STUDY ITS PHYSICAL IMPLICATIONS.
