  2. 1. Gravitational perturbations in plasmas and cosmology

    Author : Mats Forsberg; Gert Brodin; Michael Bradley; Christopher Clarkson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; general relativity; cosmology; gravitational waves; plasma; electromagnetic waves; nonlinear waves; Plasma physics; Plasmafysik; Theory of relativity; gravitation; Relativitetsteori; gravitation; Cosmology; Kosmologi; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Gravitational perturbations can be in the form of scalars, vectors or tensors. This thesis focuses on the evolution of scalar perturbations in cosmology, and interactions between tensor perturbations, in the form of gravitational waves, and plasma waves. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonlinear interaction and propagation of gravitational and electromagnetic waves in plasmas

    Author : Martin Servin; Gert Brodin; Lennart Stenflo; Demetrios Papadopoulos; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; general relativity; plasma; gravitational waves; electromagnetic waves; nonlinear; wave interaction; wave propagation; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves are important as carriers of energy and information. This thesis is devoted to the study of the propagation and interaction of these waves in plasmas, with emphasis on nonlinear effects and applications within astrophysics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Excitations in Superfluids : From solitons to gravitational waves

    Author : Alberto Cetoli; Emil Lundh; Luis Santos; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In 1995 two different research groups observed for the first time the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in ultracold gases. When the confining magnetic trap was turned off the gas was left free to expand, and the velocity of the particles showed a clear peak: most of the particles were occupying the same single particle state, the one of lowest energy.

  6. 4. Gravitational waves from primordial magnetic sources

    Author : Yutong He; Axel Brandenburg; David Weir; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis gives an overview of modified gravity and primordial magnetic fields,bridged by gravitational waves (GWs) as a phenomenological probe of both sectors.First we derive the GW equation in a homogeneous and isotropic background from general relativity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Was Einstein Wrong? : Theoretical and observational constraints on massive gravity

    Author : Marcus Högås; Edvard Mörtsell; David Mota; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gravity; Massive gravity; Bimetric gravity; Cosmology; Gravitational collapse; Gravitational waves; Observational constraints; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : For more than a century, Einstein's theory of general relativity has described gravitational phenomena with astonishing precision. However, for the theory to fit observations we need to add two elusive substances: dark energy and dark matter. Together they add up to 95% of the energy budget of the Universe. READ MORE
