Gravitational Compton scattering at zero and finite temperature

Abstract: The Lagrangian formulation of Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) theory is considered. GEM is a gravitational theory constructed based on the similarities between gravity and electromagnetism. In this framework, we investigate gravitational Compton scattering by calculating its cross section at both zero and finite temperatures. Thermal effects are introduced via the Thermo Field Dynamics formalism. Some comparisons between GEM theory and QED have been developed. The limits of high temperature have been analyzed.
