Dirac’s Equation in R-Minkowski Spacetime

We recently constructed the R-Poincaré algebra from an appropriate deformed Poisson brackets which reproduce the Fock coordinate transformation. We showed then that the spacetime of this transformation is the de Sitter one. In this paper, we derive in the R-Minkowski spacetime the Dirac equation and show that this is none other than the Dirac equation in the de Sitter spacetime given by its conformally flat metric. Furthermore, we propose a new approach for solving Dirac’s equation in the de Sitter spacetime using the Schrödinger picture.     

Thermodynamics of the Reissner-Nordstrm-de Sitter black hole

Considering the relationship between the black hole horizon and the cosmological horizon, the thermodynamic property of the charged de Sitter spacetime is discussed. The effective temperature and energy are obtained. The result shows that the upper limit of the energy in the charged de Sitter spacetime is just the energy in the pure de Sitter spacetime. The thermal capacity of the charged de Sitter spacetime is positive, thus satisfying the thermal stability condition.     

Effects of cosmological constant on motion of UHECR particles

Recent astronomical observations manifest that about two-thirds of the whole energy in the Universe is contributed by a small positive cosmological constant A (> 0). Then, an asymptotically de Sitter spacetime is premised naturally. However, physics in the de Sitter spacetime is very different from that in the Minkowski spacetime. As the first step, a covariant formalism of the kinematics in the de Sitter spacetime is presented here. By solving exactly the equations of motion for a field, we obtain the dispersion relation of a free particle. It is noticed that the dispersion relation is dependent on the degree of freedom of angular momentum of the particle. We show the threshold anomaly of the ultra high energy cosmic ray disappears naturally in the framework of the de Sitter kinematics.     

On causality violation on a Kerr-de Sitter spacetime

The causal properties of the family of Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes are analyzed and compared to those of the Kerr family. First, an inextendible Kerr-de Sitter spacetime is obtained by joining together Carter’s blocks, i.e. suitable four dimensional spacetime regions contained within Killing horizons or within a Killing horizon and an asymptotic de Sitter region. Based on this property, and leaving aside topological identifications, we show that the causal properties of a Kerr-de Sitter spacetime are determined by the causal properties of the individual Carter’s blocks viewed as spacetimes in their own right. We show that any Carter’s block is stably causal except for the blocks that contain the ring singularity. The latter are vicious sets, i.e. any two events within such block can be connected by a future (respectively past) directed timelike curve. This behavior is identical to the causal behavior of the Boyer–Lindquist blocks that contain the Kerr ring singularity. These blocks are also vicious as demonstrated long ago by Carter. On the other hand, while for the case of a naked Kerr singularity the entire spacetime is vicious and thus closed timelike curves pass through any event including events in the asymptotic region, for the case of a Kerr-de Sitter spacetime the cosmological horizons protect the asymptotic de Sitter region from a-causal influences. In that regard, a positive cosmological constant appears to improve the causal behavior of the underlying spacetime.     

Hawking-de Sitter Thermalization of Quasi-Minkowskian Massless Scalaron Production,Energy Density Content and Back-Reaction

Projecting the closed form expression of the de Sitter scalar field operator onto the Minkowskian positive frequency massless modes, we compute the corresponding Bogolubov coefficient which is associated to the (massless) quasiparticle creation during the stationary quasi-de Sitter stage of the Universe. Thereafter, we derive the expression of the thermalized energy density which reveals an interesting mixture of de Sitter false vacuum and dark-radiation, exotic dust and black body radiation. Setting the temperature to the value of the Hawking one for the de Sitter spacetime, we finally analyze the (straightforward) back-reaction of the newly created “matter” on the scale function. It basically points out three stages of highly continuous evolution represented by an initially short radiation-like era, a somewhat long-lasting connecting phase made of coherent massless oscillations, in its beginnings, ended up by the dark-radiation (i.e. curvature-like term) contribution and, finally, a much slower exponential expansion than the initial de Sitter one.     

Positive mass theorems for asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes

We use planar coordinates as well as hyperbolic coordinates to separate the de Sitter spacetime into two parts. These two ways of cutting the de Sitter give rise to two different spatial infinities. For spacetimes which are asymptotic to either half of the de Sitter spacetime, we are able to provide definitions of the total energy, the total linear momentum, the total angular momentum, respectively. And we prove two positive mass theorems, corresponding to these two sorts of spatial infinities, for spacelike hypersurfaces whose mean curvatures are bounded by certain constant from above.     

Charged Taub-NUT-de Sitter spacetime in DGP braneworld and its thermodynamics

We study a charged Taub-NUT spacetime solution in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) brane. We show that the Reissner-Nordstrom-Taub-NUT-de Sitter solution of Einstein-Maxwell gravity solves the corresponding equations of motion, where the cosmological constant is related to the cross-over scale in the DGP model. Following the approach by Teitelboim in discussing the thermodynamics of de Sitter spacetime and the proposal by Wu et al. for a conserved charge associated with the NUT parameter, we obtain the generalized Smarr mass formula and the first law of thermodynamics of the spacetime.     

Dirac Fields in 3D de Sitter Spacetime

We show that the Dirac equation is separable in the circularly symmetric metric in three dimensions and when the background spacetime is de Sitter we find exact solutions to the radial equations. Using these results we show that the de Sitter horizon has a cross section equal to zero for the massless Dirac field, as in the case of the scalar field. Also, using the improved brick wall model we calculate the fermionic entropy associated with the de Sitter horizon and we compare it with some results previously published.

On the quasinormal modes of the de Sitter spacetime

Modifying a method by Horowitz and Hubeny for asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes, we establish the classical stability of the quasinormal modes of the de Sitter spacetime. Furthermore using a straightforward method we calculate the de Sitter quasinormal frequencies of the gravitational perturbations and discuss some properties of the radial functions of these quasinormal modes.     

Why have we Never Observed the Massless Charged Particle?

In this paper we try to explore the possible contact between quantum gravity and the least mass of a charged particle in de Sitter spacetime. The effect of Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) on the thermodynamics of de Sitter spacetime is discussed in a heuristic manner. We find a maximal entropy/probability that corresponds to the absence of charge of a massless particle. Furthermore, the holographic principle provides a possible lower limit to the mass of a charged particle. PACS Numbers: 04.70.Dy, 04.70.-s, 98.80.Es.     

Proca Effect in Reissner–Nordstrom de Sitter Metric

Reissner–Nordstrom de Sitter spacetime with photon rest mass is studied. An iteration method is used to get the metric of this spacetime. In the case of μ → 0, the solution will return to the common Reissner–Nordstrom de Sitter spacetime.     

Dynamics and quantum entanglement of two-level atoms in de Sitter spacetime

In the framework of open quantum systems, we study the internal dynamics of both freely falling and static two-level atoms interacting with quantized conformally coupled massless scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. We find that the atomic transition rates depend on both the nature of de Sitter spacetime and the motion of atoms, interestingly the steady states for both cases are always driven to being purely thermal, regardless of the atomic initial states. This thermalization phenomenon is structurally similar to what happens to an elementary quantum system immersed in a thermal field, and thus reveals the thermal nature of de Sitter spacetime. Besides, we find that the thermal baths will drive the entanglement shared by the freely falling atom (the static atom) and its auxiliary partner, a same two-level atom which is isolated from external fields, to being sudden death, and the proper time for the entanglement to be extinguished is computed. We also analyze that such thermalization and disentanglement phenomena, in principle, could be understood from the perspective of table-top simulation experiment.     

A gauge field theory of spacetime based on the de Sitter group

A new theory of spacetime is proposed in which translations are considered as a part of the de Sitter gauge group. The theory is built along the general principles of classical gauge field theories, which are outlined. Applications of gauge principles to linear and affine connections are also given in order to make the presentation self-sufficient. A de Sitter invariant Lagrangian is constructed, which yields approximately Einstein's vacuum equations when it is subjected to variation with respect to gauge potentials and the result expressed in a specific gauge class. As a difference from the usual use of de Sitter groups, the radius of its translations must be small in the present approach, which probably has the meaning of an elementary subatomic length. The solution of the equations describing flat spacetime is not the trivial zero-curvature connection of the conventional approach.     

Entropy of higher-dimensional charged Gauss–Bonnet black hole in de Sitter space

The fundamental equation of the thermodynamic system gives the relation between the internal energy, entropy and volume of two adjacent equilibrium states. Taking a higher-dimensional charged Gauss–Bonnet black hole in de Sitter space as a thermodynamic system, the state parameters have to meet the fundamental equation of thermodynamics. We introduce the effective thermodynamic quantities to describe the black hole in de Sitter space. Considering that in the lukewarm case the temperature of the black hole horizon is equal to that of the cosmological horizon, we conjecture that the effective temperature has the same value. In this way, we can obtain the entropy formula of spacetime by solving the differential equation. We find that the total entropy contains an extra term besides the sum of the entropies of the two horizons. The corrected term of the entropy is a function of the ratio of the black hole horizon radius to the cosmological horizon radius, and is independent of the charge of the spacetime.     

Massive Particles' de Sitter Tunneling in (3+1)-Dimensional de Sitter Spacetimes

In this paper, massive particles' Hawking radiation via tunneling from cosmological horizon of a (3+1)-dimensional de Sitter spacetime is investigated. According to Parikh's theory, when a particle tunnels across the cosmological horizon, the effective geometry is Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. In this effective spacetime, a massive particle can be treated as a de Broglie S-wave. WKB method is used. The emission spectrum is obtained, and it takes the same functional form as that of massless particles.
