Quasiconformality and mass
We identify universal quasiconformal (walking) behaviour in non-Abelian gauge
field theories based on the mass-dependent all-order beta-function introduced
in arXiv:0908.1364. We find different types of walking behaviour in the
presence of (partially) massive species. We employ our findings to the
construction of candidate theories for dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking
by walking technicolour.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures

Exotic Statistics for Ordinary Particles in Quantum Gravity
Objects exhibiting statistics other than the familiar Bose and Fermi ones are
natural in theories with topologically nontrivial objects including geons,
strings, and black holes. It is argued here from several viewpoints that the
statistics of ordinary particles with which we are already familiar are likely
to be modified due to quantum gravity effects. In particular, such
modifications are argued to be present in loop quantum gravity and in any
theory which represents spacetime in a fundamentally piecewise-linear fashion.
The appearance of unusual statistics may be a generic feature (such as the
deformed position-momentum uncertainty relations and the appearance of a
fundamental length scale) which are to be expected in any theory of quantum
gravity, and which could be testable.Comment: Awarded an honourable mention in the 2008 Gravity Research Foundation

A Phase Transistion in the Water Coupled to a Local External Perturbation
A flux of ideal fluid coupled to perturbation is investigated by
nonperturbative methods of the quantum field theory. Asymptotic behavior of the
flux coupled to perturbation turns out to be similiar to that of superfluids.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, Late
The Post-Newtonian Limit of f(R)-gravity in the Harmonic Gauge
A general analytic procedure is developed for the post-Newtonian limit of
-gravity with metric approach in the Jordan frame by using the harmonic
gauge condition. In a pure perturbative framework and by using the Green
function method a general scheme of solutions up to order is shown.
Considering the Taylor expansion of a generic function it is possible to
parameterize the solutions by derivatives of . At Newtonian order,
, all more important topics about the Gauss and Birkhoff theorem are
discussed. The corrections to "standard" gravitational potential
(-component of metric tensor) generated by an extended uniform mass
ball-like source are calculated up to order. The corrections, Yukawa
and oscillating-like, are found inside and outside the mass distribution. At
last when the limit is considered the -gravity converges
in General Relativity at level of Lagrangian, field equations and their
solutions.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figure
