We prove that the equation for the amplitude function for the parametrix of the scalar wave equation can be obtained by covariant differentiation of a first-order non-linear equation.
Go to contribution page
The construction of such a first-order non-linear equation relies upon a pair of auxiliary 1-forms "psi,rho".
The 1-form "psi" satisfies the divergenceless condition div(psi)=0, whereas the 1-form "rho"... -

Recently, the cosmographic approach has gain considerable interest as model-independent technique able to describe the recent expansion of the universe.
Go to contribution page
Indeed, given only the observational assumptions of the cosmological principle, it permits the study of the dark energy (or modified gravity) evolution without the need of assuming a specific cosmological model.
Up to now, the cosmographic... -

The first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo have been characterized by several groud-breaking discoveries.
Go to contribution page
On September 14, 2015, there was the the first observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from the merger of a binary black hole (BBH);
two years later, on August 17, 2017, there was the first joint detection of GWs and photons from a binary neutron star merger: this... -

I will talk about the relevance of the universal rotation curve (URC) method applied to rotating disc galaxies and, particularly, I will focus on the results obtained by analysing a special sample of galaxies called Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies.
Go to contribution page
Furthermore, I will briefly talk about the relevance of the LSB results when compared to the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) given by... -

We analyze the non-cyclic geometric phase and the phenomenon of decoherence for neutrinos propagating in long baseline experiments.
Go to contribution page
We find that the geometric phase and the total phase associated to the mixing phenomenon provide a theoretical tool to distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos.
Moreover, we show that, in presence of an off-diagonal term in the dissipative matrix, the... -

In this talk, we provide an overview of the cosmographic technique in the context of extended and modified theories of gravity, invoked to tackle the dark energy problem.
Go to contribution page
We show how cosmography can be used to reconstruct the late-time expansion history of the universe with no a priori assumptions on its equation of state.
In particular, we present a new method involving the use of rational... -

In this paper we discuss the Casimir effect in a small cavity at rest in the weak gravitational field of a massive, non-rotating source.
Go to contribution page
We propose a new approach, based upon Schwinger's effective action method, showing that the gravitational interaction induces a small correction in the vacuum energy density, in full agreement with the result we obtained in a previous work (Sorge F 2005... -

M87 is the biggest nearby galaxy located at the center of the Virgo cluster.
Go to contribution page
It hosts multiple kinematic tracers that have recently allowed a very good determination of its mass distribution from the very center up to the virial radius.
In this work, we approach the question by adopting the Burkert halo profile for the dark matter which well represents the dark matter halos around spirals and... -

In this paper, we present results from a large set of N-body/SPH hydrodynamical cluster simulations aimed at studying the statistical properties of turbulence in the ICM.
Go to contribution page
The numerical hydrodynamical scheme employs a SPH formulation in which spatial gradients are estimated using an integral approach.
This formulation strongly reduces gradient errors which are found to critically affect SPH... -

In this talk I present a new proposal concerning the nature of the cosmological constant depicted in terms of Planckian fluctuations.
Go to contribution page
A semi-classical model is presented with a Planckian generalization of the quasi local Misner-Sharp energy.
The observed (dressed) value of \Lambda is fixed at the scale such that an absolute positive minimum for the generalized Misner-Sharp energy is reached:... -

We have analysed the Rotation Curves (RCs) of 310 Hα detected star-forming galaxies from KMOS redshift one spectroscopic survey (KROSS).

The targets were selected from four deep extragalactic fields those are covered by wide range of multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic surveys:
1) Extended Chandra Deep Field Survey (E-CDFS);
2) Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS);

I show that one can unify the description of quantum and classical cosmological states by introducing the tomographic description.
Go to contribution page
I'll present some examples of possible classical tomograms obtained phenomenologically and the problems that one has to address in order to relate these tomograms to the original quantum state of the universe. -

In this talk I will investigate the merging rates of compact binaries and the related detection rates of gravitational waves with current (AdvLIGO/Virgo) and future detectors (Einstein Telescope).

I will rely on three main ingredients:
1) a redshift dependent galaxy statistics observationally determined;
2) a star formation and chemical enrichment history for individual galaxies inferred from... -

The study of the inverse beta-decay of accelerated protons (p → n + e + νe) recently provided a theoretical proof of the necessity of the Unruh effect in QFT.

Indeed, on the basis of the sole requirement of General Covariance of the formalism, it was found that the decay rates in the inertial and comoving frames are in agreement only when taking into account the thermal nature of the... -
