SUMMARY:Ph.D Defense: “An investigation into nonstandard theories of gravity” — April 18, 2022 at 3:30 PM
DESCRIPTION:\nSarah FisherMentor: Professor Eric CarlsonDepartment of PhysicsOlin 101Monday, April 18, 2022, 3:30 – 4:30 PMThe defense will follow the public presentation (private)A reception in the Olin Lobby will follow the defense \nTo obtain the video conference link, please contact wfuphys@wfu.edu\nAbstract\nThis dissertation critically reexamines two different alternatives to standard gravity.In both cases, serious flaws in the methodology of previous work were found, raisingdoubts as to the interpretation of results found by others. These issues are particularlyprominent in the context of perfect fluids, where the modifications introduceadditional complexity into the choice of an appropriate matter Lagrangian. In onecase, a large category of results is found to be physically meaningless; in the other amany-order-of-magnitude improvement in limits is demonstrated.\n
