Attractor solutions in f(T) cosmology

We present the results of three-dimensional simulations of quasar polarizations in the presence of pseudoscalar?Cphoton mixing in the intergalactic medium. The intergalactic magnetic field is assumed to be uncorrelated in wave vector space but correlated in real space. Such a field may be obtained if its origin is primordial. Furthermore we assume that the quasars, located at cosmological distances, have negligible initial polarization. In the presence of pseudoscalar?Cphoton mixing we show, through a direct comparison with observations, that this may explain the observed large scale alignments in quasar polarizations within the framework of big bang cosmology. We find that the simulation results give a reasonably good fit to the observed data.     

Analytical Holographic Superconductor with Backreaction Using AdS 3/CFT 2

The holographic model for a two-dimensional superconductor has been investigated by considering the three-dimensional gravity in the bulk. To find the critical temperature, we used the Sturm–Liouville variational method. Where as the same method is applied for calculating the condensation of the dual operators on the boundary. We included the back reactions on the metric by a combination of the perturbation method of the fields with respect to the small parameter and then applying the variational integrals on the resulting equations of the motion. The critical temperature has been successfully obtained on the backreaction effects, and we showed that it dropped with a rise in the backreaction of the fields, and it makes the condensation harder. We can use our analytical results to support the numerical data which was reported previously.     

Loop Quantum Corrections to Statefinder Parameters of Dark Energy

In this paper, we have calculated the statefinder parameters for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) Universe in the gravitational framework of loop quantum cosmology (LQC). As examples, we study two types of dark energy models namely Holographic dark energy and New-Agegraphic dark energy.     

Geometrothermodynamics of higher dimensional black holes

We study the thermodynamics and geometrothermodynamics of different black hole configurations in more than four spacetime dimensions. We use the response functions to find the conditions under which second order phase transitions occur in higher-dimensional static Reissner–Nordström and stationary Kerr black holes. Our results indicate that the equilibrium manifold of all these black hole configurations is in general curved and that curvature singularities appear exactly at those places where second order phase transitions occur.     

Realization of Holographic Entanglement Temperature for a Nearly-AdS Boundary

Computing the holographic entanglement entropy proposed by Ryu-Takayanagi shows that thermal energy near boundary region in AdS₃ gain maximum of the temperature. The absolute maxima of temperature is \(T^{Max}_{E}= \frac {4G_{3} \epsilon _{\infty }}{l}\). By simple physical investigations it has become possible to predict a phase transition of first order at critical temperature T_c ≤ T_E. As they predict a tail or root towards which the AdS space ultimately tend, the boundary is considered thermalized. The Phase transitions of this form have received striking theoretical and experimental verifications so far.     

F(T) gravity and k-essence

Modified teleparallel gravity theory with the torsion scalar has recently gained a lot of attention as a possible candidate of dark energy. We perform a thorough reconstruction analysis on the so-called $F(T)$ models, where $F(T)$ is some general function of the torsion term. We derive conditions for the equivalence between of $F(T)$ models with purely kinetic k-essence. We present a new class models of $F(T)$ gravity and k-essence.     

Integrable generalizations of Schrödinger maps and Heisenberg spin models from Hamiltonian flows of curves and surfaces

A moving frame formulation of non-stretching geometric curve flows in Euclidean space is used to derive a 1+1 dimensional hierarchy of integrable SO(3)$SO\left(3\right)$-invariant vector models containing the Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin model as well as a model given by a spin vector version of the mKdV equation. These models describe a geometric realization of the NLS hierarchy of soliton equations whose bi-Hamiltonian structure is shown to be encoded in the Frenet equations of the moving frame. This derivation yields an explicit bi-Hamiltonian structure, recursion operator, and constants of motion for each model in the hierarchy. A generalization of these results to geometric surface flows is presented, where the surfaces are non-stretching in one direction while stretching in all transverse directions. Through the Frenet equations of a moving frame, such surface flows are shown to encode a hierarchy of 2+1 dimensional integrable SO(3)$SO\left(3\right)$-invariant vector models, along with their bi-Hamiltonian structure, recursion operator, and constants of motion, describing a geometric realization of 2+1 dimensional bi-Hamiltonian NLS and mKdV soliton equations. Based on the well-known equivalence between the Heisenberg model and the Schrödinger map equation in 1+1 dimensions, a geometrical formulation of these hierarchies of 1+1 and 2+1 vector models is given in terms of dynamical maps into the 2-sphere. In particular, this formulation yields a new integrable generalization of the Schrödinger map equation in 2+1 dimensions as well as a mKdV analog of this map equation corresponding to the mKdV spin model in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions.
