Higher dimensional Yang–Mills black holes in third order Lovelock gravity

By employing the higher (N>5$N>5$)-dimensional version of the Wu–Yang ansatz we obtain magnetically charged new black hole solutions in the Einstein–Yang–Mills–Lovelock (EYML) theory with second (α₂${\alpha }_2$) and third (α₃${\alpha }_3$) order parameters. These parameters, where α₂${\alpha }_2$ is also known as the Gauss–Bonnet parameter, modify the horizons (and the resulting thermodynamical properties) of the black holes. It is shown also that asymptotically (r→∞$r\to \infty$), these parameters contribute to an effective cosmological constant—without cosmological constant—so that the solution behaves de-Sitter (anti de-Sitter) like.     

Asymptotic freedom of Yang–Mills theory with gravity

We study the behaviour of Yang–Mills theory under the inclusion of gravity. In the weak-gravity limit, the running gauge coupling receives no contribution from the gravitational sector, if all symmetries are preserved. This holds true with and without cosmological constant. We also show that asymptotic freedom persists in general field-theory-based gravity scenarios including gravitational shielding as well as asymptotically safe gravity.     

Constant curvature f(R) gravity minimally coupled with Yang–Mills field

In this work, we have studied accretion of the dark energies in new variable modified Chaplygin gas (NVMCG) and generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas (GCCG) models onto Schwarzschild and Kerr?CNewman black holes. We find the expression of the critical four velocity component which gradually decreases for the fluid flow towards the Schwarzschild as well as the Kerr?CNewman black hole. We also find the expression for the change of mass of the black hole in both cases. For the Kerr?CNewman black hole, which is rotating and charged, we calculate the specific angular momentum and total angular momentum. We showed that in both cases, due to accretion of dark energy, the mass of the black hole increases and angular momentum increases in the case of a Kerr?CNewman black hole.     

Lie Algebroid Yang–Mills with matter fields

Lie Algebroid Yang–Mills theories are a generalization of Yang–Mills gauge theories, replacing the structural Lie algebra by a Lie Algebroid E$E$. In this note we relax the conditions on the fiber metric of E$E$ for gauge invariance of the action functional. Coupling to scalar fields requires possibly nonlinear representations of Lie Algebroids. In all cases, gauge invariance is seen to lead to a condition of covariant constancy on the respective fiber metric in question with respect to an appropriate Lie Algebroid connection.     

Buchdahl–Vaidya–Tikekar model for stellar interior in pure Lovelock gravity

In the paper (Khugaev et al. in Phys Rev D94:064065. arXiv: 1603.07118, 2016), we have shown that for perfect fluid spheres the pressure isotropy equation for Buchdahl–Vaidya–Tikekar metric ansatz continues to have the same Gauss form in higher dimensions, and hence higher dimensional solutions could be obtained by redefining the space geometry characterizing Vaidya–Tikekar parameter K. In this paper we extend this analysis to pure Lovelock gravity; i.e. a \((2N+2)\)-dimensional solution with a given \(K_{2N+2}\) can be taken over to higher n-dimensional pure Lovelock solution with \(K_n=(K_{2N+2}-n+2N+2)/(n-2N-1)\) where N is degree of Lovelock action. This ansatz includes the uniform density Schwarzshild and the Finch–Skea models, and it is interesting that the two define the two ends of compactness, the former being the densest and while the latter rarest. All other models with this ansatz lie in between these two limiting distributions.     

A Semi-Analytical Solution to Classic Yang–Mills Equations with Both Asymptotical Freedom and Confining Features

It is well known that confinings and asymptotic freedom are properties of quantum chromo-dynamics(QCD).But hints of these features can also be observed at purely classic levels.For this purpose we need to find solutions to the colorly-sourceful Yang–Mills equations with both confining and asymptotic freedom features.We provide such a solution in this paper which at the near-source region is of serial form,while at the far-away region is approximately expressed through simple elementary functions.From the solution,we derive out a classically non-perturbative beta function describing the running of efective coupling constant,which is linear in the couplings both in the infrared and ultraviolet region.     

A BRST gauge-fixing procedure for Yang–Mills theory on sphere

A gauge-fixing procedure for the Yang–Mills theory on an n  -dimensional sphere (or a hypersphere) is discussed in a systematic manner. We claim that Adler's gauge-fixing condition used in massless Euclidean QED on a hypersphere is not conventional because of the presence of an extra free index, and hence is unfavorable for the gauge-fixing procedure based on the BRST invariance principle (or simply BRST gauge-fixing procedure). Choosing a suitable gauge condition, which is proved to be equivalent to a generalization of Adler's condition, we apply the BRST gauge-fixing procedure to the Yang–Mills theory on a hypersphere to obtain consistent results. Field equations for the Yang–Mills field and associated fields are derived in manifestly O(n+1)$\mathrm{O}(n+1)$ covariant or invariant forms. In the large radius limit, these equations reproduce the corresponding field equations defined on the n-dimensional flat space.     

Complexity factor for static sphere in self-interacting Brans–Dicke gravity

In this paper, we study the complexity factor of a static anisotropic sphere in the context of self-interacting Brans–Dicke theory. We split the Riemann tensor using Bel’s approach to obtain structure scalars relating to comoving congruence and Tolman mass in the presence of a scalar field. We then define the complexity factor with the help of these scalars to demonstrate the complex nature of the system. We also evaluate the vanishing complexity condition to obtain solutions for two stellar models. It is concluded that the complexity of the system increases with the inclusion of the scalar field and potential function.     

Massive Yang–Mills for vector and axial-vector spectral functions at finite temperature

The hadronic mechanism which leads to chiral symmetry restoration is explored in the context of the ρπa₁$\rho \pi a_1$ system using Massive Yang–Mills, a hadronic effective theory which governs their microscopic interactions. In this approach, vector and axial-vector mesons are implemented as gauge bosons of a local chiral gauge group. We have previously shown that this model can describe the experimentally measured vector and axial-vector spectral functions in vacuum. Here, we carry the analysis to finite temperatures by evaluating medium effects in a pion gas and calculating thermal spectral functions. We find that the spectral peaks in both channels broaden along with a noticeable downward mass shift in the a₁$a_1$ spectral peak and negligible movement of the ρ$\rho$ peak. The approach toward spectral function degeneracy is accompanied by a reduction of chiral order parameters, i.e., the pion decay constant and scalar condensate. Our findings suggest a mechanism where the chiral mass splitting induced in vacuum is burned off. We explore this mechanism and identify future investigations which can further test it.
