The qBounce experiment offers a new way of looking at gravitation based on quantum interference. An ultracold neutron is reflected in well-defined quantum states in the gravity potential of the Earth by a mirror, which allows to apply the concept of gravity resonance spectroscopy (GRS). This experiment with neutrons gives access to all gravity parameters as the dependences on distance, mass, curvature, energy-momentum as well as on torsion. Here, we concentrate on torsion.

We show that Liouville gravity arises as the limit of pure Einstein gravity in 2+epsilon dimensions as epsilon goes to zero, provided Newtons constant scales with epsilon. Our procedure - spherical reduction, dualization, limit, dualizing back - pass es several consistency tests: geometric properties, interactions with matter and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy are as expected from Einstein gravity.
We report on precision resonance spectroscopy measurements of quantum states of ultracold neutrons confined above the surface of a horizontal mirror by the gravity potential of the Earth. Resonant transitions between several of the lowest quantum sta tes are observed for the first time. These measurements demonstrate, that Newtons inverse square law of Gravity is understood at micron distances on an energy scale of~$10^{-14}$~eV. At this level of precision we are able to provide constraints on any possible gravity-like interaction. In particular, a dark energy chameleon field is excluded for values of the coupling constant~$beta > 5.8times10^8$ at~95% confidence level~(C.L.), and an attractive (repulsive) dark matter axion-like spin-mass coupling is excluded for the coupling strength $g_sg_p > 3.7times10^{-16}$~($5.3times10^{-16}$)~at a Yukawa length of~$lambda = 20$~{textmu}m~(95% (C.L.).
We study scalar, fermionic and gauge fields coupled nonminimally to gravity in the Einstein-Cartan formulation. We construct a wide class of models with nondynamical torsion whose gravitational spectra comprise only the massless graviton. Eliminating non-propagating degrees of freedom, we derive an equivalent theory in the metric formulation of gravity. It features contact interactions of a certain form between and among the matter and gauge currents. We also discuss briefly the inclusion of curvature-squared terms.
We study inflation driven by the Higgs field in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity. In this theory, the presence of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms with the Higgs field non-minimally coupled to them leads to three additional coupling constants. For a broad range of parameters, we find that inflation is both possible and consistent with observations. In most cases, the spectral index is given by $n_s=1-2/N_star$ (with $N_star$ the number of e-foldings) whereas the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ can vary between about $10^{-10}$ and $1$. Thus, there are scenarios of Higgs inflation in the Einstein-Cartan framework for which the detection of gravitational waves from inflation is possible in the near future. In certain limits, the known models of Higgs inflation in the metric and Palatini formulations of gravity are reproduced. Finally, we discuss the robustness of inflationary dynamics against quantum corrections due to the scalar and fermion fields.
In this paper, we study the effects of rainbow gravity on relativistic Bose-Einstein condensation and thermodynamics parameters. We initially discussed some formal aspects of the model to only then compute the corrections to the Bose-Einstein condens ation. The calculations were carried out by computing the generating functional, from which we extract the thermodynamics parameters. The corrected critical temperature $T_c$ that sets the Bose-Einstein Condensation was also computed for the three mostly adopted cases for the rainbow functions. We have also obtained a phenomenological upper bound for a combination of the quantities involved in the model, besides showing the possibility of occurrence of the Bose-Einstein condensation in two spatial dimensions under appropriate conditions on those functions. Finally, we have discussed how harder is for the particles at an arbitrary temperature $T<T_c$ to enter the condensed state when compared with the usual scenario.
