Possible quantum gravity effects in a charged Bose condensate under variable e.m. field
Abstract
Description
In the weak field approximation to quantum gravity, a "local" positive cosmological term mu^2(x) corresponds to a local negative squared mass term in the Lagrangian and may thus induce instability and local pinning of the gravitational field. Such a term can be produced by the coupling to an external Bose condensate. In the functional integral, the local pinning acts as a constraint on the field configurations. We discuss this model in detail and apply it to a phenomenological analysis of recent experimental results.
