| [Particles and Gravity] Ultra-Relativistic Post-Minkowskian General Relativity, the Strong Force, and the Vayenas Model Ultra-Relativistic Post-Minkowskian General Relativity, the Strong Force, and the Vayenas Model Athanassios Fokas1; 1UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, Cambridge, United Kingdom; PAPER: 133/Physical/Plenary (Oral) SCHEDULED: 15:55/Sat. 26 Oct. 2019/Aphrodite B (100/Gr. F) ABSTRACT: The post-Minkowskian approximation of the N-body problem of general relativity has been recently analysed by Luc Blanchet and the speaker[1]. The ultrarelativistic limit of the above formulation in the particular case of two equal masses yields a formula for the underlying force which has characteristics of the strong force, including confinement and asymptotic freedom[2]. This result is consistent with the iconoclastic model of particle physics of C Vayenas. References: [1] Blanchet, L., & Fokas, A. S. (2018).
