QUANTUM UNIVERSE AND EMPTINESS

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: Province of Granada (NUTS ES614); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 24,200; EU co-financing EUR 19,360 (co-financing rate 80%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-01-01 to 2021-09-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its title uses a quantum word. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): OBJECTS CONSIDERED BLACK HOLES IN THE ASTROPHYSICAL PRACTICE COULD BE NONETHELESS VERY DIFFERENT FROM GENERAL RELATIVITY BLACK HOLES. OBSERVATIONALLY SPEAKING THERE IS STILL AMPLE ROOM TO FIND THAT INSTEAD OF BLACK HOLES THEY ARE ULTRACOMPACT OBJECTS WITHOUT HORIZONS. IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL DEEPEN IN A PARTICULAR ALTERNATIVE PARADIGM FOR HOW GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE PROCEEDS AND SETTLES INTO EQUILIBRIUM CONFIGURATIONS DIFFERENT FROM BLACK HOLES. THIS NEW PARADIGM WAS PROPOSED BY OUR GROUP SOME YEARS AGO AND WITHIN THIS PROJECT WE WILL STRENGTHEN ITS THEORETICAL FORMULATION AND ANALYZE ONE OF ITS MOST ATTRACTIVE CHARACTERISTIC: IT CAN BE FALSIFIED ANALYZING NEAR-FUTURE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES OBSERVATIONS COMING FROM GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSES. SPECIFICALLY, IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL INVESTIGATE HOW TO CONSTRUCT ANALYTIC AND NUMERICAL MODELS ENCODING THE SWITCHING OFF OF GRAVITY WHEN MATTER REACHES HIGH ENERGY DENSITIES. THIS WOULD LEAD TO AN OSCILLATION BETWEEN BLACK-HOLE AND WHITE-HOLE LIKE CONFIGURATIONS THAT AFTER RELAXATION WOULD SETTLE TO A BLACK STAR WITH NO HORIZONS. WE WANT TO CHARACTERIZE THIS PROCESS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF BOTH, A NON-DYNAMICAL BACKGROUND METRIC AND AN EFFECTIVE MATTER DISTRIBUTION IN A GENERAL-RELATIVISTIC CONTEXT. HAVING BUILT ONE SUCH MODEL WE WILL ANALYZE THE PATTERN OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE EMISSION PRODUCED BY THE TRANSIENT OSCILLATORY PHASE. THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL APPEARED TO US WHILE STUDYING THE FRAMEWORK OF EMERGENT GRAVITY. EMERGENT GRAVITY IS A FRAMEWORK OF IDEAS TO OBTAIN A QUANTUM THEORY OF GRAVITY STARTING FROM SIMPLE INGREDIENTS WITH NO RELATION WHATSOEVER WITH RELATIVISTIC INGREDIENTS. A LABORATORY BENCH TO STUDY EMERGENT GRAVITY IS TO START FROM CONDENSED MATTER SYSTEMS IN A NEWTONIAN LAB. IN PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS WE SAW HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN EMERGENT THEORY OF ELECTROMAGNETISM. WE ALSO REALIZED THAT SYSTEMS WITH NO GAUGE SYMMETRIES CAN BEHAVE AS EFFECTIVE GAUGE SYSTEMS IN CERTAIN REGIMES, TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INFRARED.
