Classes of exact Einstein–Maxwell solutions

We find new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell system of equations for a charged sphere with a particular choice of the electric field intensity and one of the gravitational potentials. The condition of pressure isotropy is reduced to a linear, second order differential equation which can be solved in general. Consequently we can find exact solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell field equations corresponding to a static spherically symmetric gravitational potential in terms of hypergeometric functions. It is possible to find exact solutions which can be written explicitly in terms of elementary functions, namely polynomials and product of polynomials and algebraic functions. Uncharged solutions are regainable with our choice of electric field intensity; in particular we generate the Einstein universe for particular parameter values.     

Effects of charge on gravitational decoupled anisotropic solutions in f(R) gravity

This paper is devoted to studying charged anisotropic static spherically symmetric solutions through gravitationally decoupled minimal geometric deformation technique in f(R) gravity. For this purpose, we first consider the known isotropic Krori–Barua solution for f(R) Starobinsky model in the interior of a charged stellar system and then include the effects of two types of anisotropic solutions. The corresponding field equations are constructed and the unknown constants are obtained from junction conditions. We analyze the physical viability and stability of the resulting solutions through effective energy density, effective radial/tangential pressure, energy conditions, and causality condition. It is found that both solutions satisfy the stability range as well as other physical conditions for specific values of charge as well as model parameter and anisotropic constant. We conclude that the modified theory under the influence of charge yields more stable behavior of the self-gravitating system.     

A Tolman-like Compact Model with Conformal Geometry

In this investigation, we study a model of a charged anisotropic compact star by assuming a relationship between the metric functions arising from a conformal symmetry. This mechanism leads to a first-order differential equation containing pressure anisotropy and the electric field. Particular forms of the electric field intensity, combined with the Tolman VII metric, are used to solve the Einstein–Maxwell field equations. New classes of exact solutions generated are expressed in terms of elementary functions. For specific parameter values based on the physical requirements, it is shown that the model satisfies the causality, stability and energy conditions. Numerical values generated for masses, radii, central densities, surface redshifts and compactness factors are consistent with compact objects such as PSR J1614-2230 and SMC X-1.     

Approximate energies and thermal properties of a position-dependent mass charged particle under external magnetic fields

We solve the Schr?dinger equation with a position-dependent mass(PDM) charged particle interacted via the superposition of the Morse-plus-Coulomb potentials and is under the influence of external magnetic and Aharonov–Bohm(AB) flux fields. The nonrelativistic bound state energies together with their wave functions are calculated for two spatially-dependent mass distribution functions. We also study the thermal quantities of such a system. Further, the canonical formalism is used to compute various thermodynamic variables for second choosing mass by using the Gibbs formalism. We give plots for energy states as a function of various physical parameters. The behavior of the internal energy, specific heat, and entropy as functions of temperature and mass density parameter in the inverse-square mass case for different values of magnetic field are shown.     

Zum allgemeinen Dispersionsgesetz der linearen Boltzmanngleichung

The conditions for the existence of particular solutions are investigated for the space- and time-dependent linear Boltzmann-equation which describes the neutron field. The regular solutions correspond to a discrete spectrum of parameters. Therefore, such particular states can be isolated asymptotically in suitable experiments. The number of possible asymptotic neutron-field-experiments is determined by the number of possible combinations of discrete parameter values corresponding to regular solutions. In the course of the analysis, two possible types of new experiments were found: the instationary exponential experiment and the neutron-wave experiment with damped excitation. The formulation of the problem has been extended to include the energy dependence of neutron distribution functions.     

Generating Interior Sources for the Reissner-Nordström Metric

We study the Einstein-Maxwell equations for isotropic pressure distributions. We postulate a relationship between the electric field intensity and one of the gravitational potentials. An algorithm is developed that allows us to systematically generate new classes of exact solutions for charged relativistic stars. The solutions are expressed in terms of simple elementary functions; it is possible to parametrize the solutions so that different values of a constant allows us to tabulate the models. For a particular class it is possible to generate models without any integration. We study the qualitative features of a particular solution, and show that it is physically reasonable in the region of a spherical shell surrounding the centre.     

Topological self-dual configurations in a Maxwell–Higgs model with a CPT-odd and Lorentz-violating nonminimal coupling

We have studied the existence of topological self-dual configurations in a nonminimal CPT-odd and Lorentz-violating (LV) Maxwell–Higgs model, where the LV interaction is introduced by modifying the minimal covariant derivative. The Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield formalism has been implemented, revealing that the scalar self-interaction implying self-dual equations contains a derivative coupling. The CPT-odd self-dual equations describe electrically neutral configurations with finite total energy proportional to the total magnetic flux, which differ from the charged solutions of other CPT-odd and LV models previously studied. In particular, we have investigated the axially symmetrical self-dual vortex solutions altered by the LV parameter. For large distances, the profiles possess general behavior similar to the vortices of Abrikosov–Nielsen–Olesen. However, within the vortex core, the profiles of the magnetic field and energy can differ substantially from ones of the Maxwell–Higgs model depending if the LV parameter is negative or positive.     

Regular models with quadratic equation of state

We provide new exact solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell system of equations which are physically reasonable. The spacetime is static and spherically symmetric with a charged matter distribution. We utilise an equation of state which is quadratic relating the radial pressure to the energy density. Earlier models, with linear and quadratic equations of state, are shown to be contained in our general class of solutions. The new solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell are found in terms of elementary functions. A physical analysis of the matter and electromagnetic variables indicates that the model is well behaved and regular. In particular there is no singularity in the proper charge density at the stellar centre unlike earlier anisotropic models in the presence of the electromagnetic field.     

Relativistic quantum dynamics of a neutral particle in external electric fields: An approach on effects of spin

The planar quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 neutral particle interacting with electrical fields is considered. A set of first order differential equations is obtained directly from the planar Dirac equation with nonminimum coupling. New solutions of this system, in particular, for the Aharonov–Casher effect, are found and discussed in detail. Pauli equation is also obtained by studying the motion of the particle when it describes a circular path of constant radius. We also analyze the planar dynamics in the full space, including the r=0$r=0$ region. The self-adjoint extension method is used to obtain the energy levels and wave functions of the particle for two particular values for the self-adjoint extension parameter. The energy levels obtained are analogous to the Landau levels and explicitly depend on the spin projection parameter.     

Interaction properties of the periodic and step-like solutions of the double-Sine-Gordon equation

The periodic and step-like solutions of the double-Sine-Gordon equation are investigated, with different initial conditions and for various values of the potential parameter epsilon. We plot energy and force diagrams, as functions of the inter-soliton distance for such solutions. This allows us to consider our system as an interacting many-body system in 1+1 dimension. We therefore plot state diagrams (pressure vs. average density) for step-like as well as periodic solutions. Step-like solutions are shown to behave similarly to their counterparts in the Sine-Gordon system. However, periodic solutions show a fundamentally different behavior as the parameter epsilon is increased. We show that two distinct phases of periodic solutions exist which exhibit manifestly different behavior. Response functions for these phases are shown to behave differently, joining at an apparent phase transition point.     

Conformal anisotropic relativistic charged fluid spheres with a linear equation of state

We obtain two new families of compact solutions for a spherically symmetric distribution of matter consisting of an electrically charged anisotropic fluid sphere joined to the Reissner–Nordstrom static solution through a zero pressure surface. The static inner region also admits a one parameter group of conformal motions. First, to study the effect of the anisotropy in the sense of the pressures of the charged fluid, besides assuming a linear equation of state to hold for the fluid, we consider the tangential pressure p _⊥ to be proportional to the radial pressure p _r , the proportionality factor C measuring the grade of anisotropy. We analyze the resulting charge distribution and the features of the obtained family of solutions. These families of solutions reproduce for the value C=1, the conformal isotropic solution for quark stars, previously obtained by Mak and Harko. The second family of solutions is obtained assuming the electrical charge inside the sphere to be a known function of the radial coordinate. The allowed values of the parameters pertained to these solutions are constrained by the physical conditions imposed. We study the effect of anisotropy in the allowed compactness ratios and in the values of the charge. The Glazer’s pulsation equation for isotropic charged spheres is extended to the case of anisotropic and charged fluid spheres in order to study the behavior of the solutions under linear adiabatic radial oscillations. These solutions could model some stage of the evolution of strange quark matter fluid stars.     

Decoupled anisotropic spheres in self-interacting Brans-Dicke gravity

The focus of this paper is to obtain anisotropic spherically symmetric solutions by means of gravitational decoupling in the background of self-interacting Brans-Dicke theory. We introduce minimal geometric deformation in the radial metric component to decouple the field equations into two arrays. The first set, governed by the seed source, is determined through metric functions of isotropic solution (Heintzmann/Tolman VII spacetimes) while the second set is solved by imposing two constraints on the anisotropic source. The unknown constants are evaluated via matching conditions at the stellar boundary. We investigate the effects of massive scalar field as well as decoupling parameter on the physical structure of anisotropic models and check them for viability through energy conditions. It is concluded that the anisotropic solutions obtained through constraint I are well-behaved for selected values of the decoupling parameter. For the second constraint, the extended Heintzmann solution is viable but anisotropic Tolman solution does not comply with dominant energy condition for higher values of the decoupling parameter.     

Binary ionic mixtures and a solvable model

The theory of solutions of McMillan and Mayer is applied to the jellium model of a binary ionic mixture: two species of charged particles, with charges e and Ze, immersed in a neutralizing background. The density ρ₂ of the particles of charge Ze is considered as small, and is used as an expansion parameter. The free energy, the pair distribution functions, the internal energy, and the pressure of the mixture are expressed as power series in ρ₂; the coefficients are integrals of correlation functions defined in the system at ρ₂=0 (the reference system). Explicit expressions are obtained in the two-dimensional case, at a special temperature, since in that case the reference system (the two-dimensional, one-component plasma) is a solvable model.     

Semi-exact Solutions of Konwent Potential

In this work we study the quantum system with the symmetric Konwent potential and show how to find its exact solutions. We find that the solutions are given by the confluent Heun function. The eigenvalues have to be calculated numerically because series expansion method does not work due to the variable z ≥ 1. The properties of the wave functions depending on the potential parameter A are illustrated for given potential parameters V_0 and a. The wave functions are shrunk towards the origin with the increasing |A|. In particular, the amplitude of wave function of the second excited state moves towards the origin when the positive parameter A decreases. We notice that the energy levels ε_i increase with the increasing potential parameter |A| ≥ 1, but the variation of the energy levels becomes complicated for |A| ∈(0, 1), which possesses a double well. It is seen that the energy levels ε_i increase with |A| for the parameter interval A ∈(-1, 0), while they decrease with |A| for the parameter interval A ∈(0, 1).     

Dilatonic black holes in gravity’s rainbow with a nonlinear source: the effects of thermal fluctuations

This paper is devoted to an investigation of nonlinearly charged dilatonic black holes in the context of gravity’s rainbow with two cases: (1) by considering the usual entropy, (2) in the presence of first order logarithmic correction of the entropy. First, exact black hole solutions of dilatonic Born–Infeld gravity with an energy dependent Liouville-type potential are obtained. Then, thermodynamic properties of the mentioned cases are studied, separately. It will be shown that although mass, entropy and the heat capacity are modified due to the presence of a first order correction, the temperature remains independent of it. Furthermore, it will be shown that divergences of the heat capacity, hence phase transition points are also independent of a first order correction, whereas the stability conditions are highly sensitive to variation of the correction parameter. Except for the effects of a first order correction, we will also present a limit on the values of the dilatonic parameter and show that it is possible to recognize AdS and dS thermodynamical behaviors for two specific branches of the dilatonic parameter. In addition, the effects of nonlinear electromagnetic field and energy functions on the thermodynamical behavior of the solutions will be highlighted and dependency of critical behavior, on these generalizations will be investigated.     

Charged nontopological soliton of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) × <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(1) gauge model

The SU(2) × U(1) gauge model that is the bosonic sector of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions is considered. The existence of electrically charged nontopological solitons is shown to be possible in this model. Some properties of a charged nontopological soliton are investigated. Asymptotic expressions are derived for the soliton radius, energy, and phase frequency in the thin-wall regime by the method of trial functions. Numerical solutions of the model field equations corresponding to electrically charged non-topological solitions have been obtained. The dependences of the soliton energy and charge on phase frequency are given for several model parameters. It follows from the data obtained that there exists a domain of parameters in which a charged nontopological soliton is stable to the transition to a plane-wave field configuration.     

Neutral and positively charged excitons in quantum ring

We study theoretically quantized states of the neutral and positively charged exciton complexes confined within a circular narrow ring in the presence of the magnetic field applied along the symmetry axis. We show that in the structural adiabatic limit, when the width of the pattern of the particles pathways within the ring is much smaller than its radius, the wave equations for both complexes are separable and their exact solutions can be found in a form of the Fourier series of one and two variables, respectively. We present results of calculation of the lower energies of complexes as functions of the ring's radius and the magnetic field strength for different values of the electron-to-hole mass ratio. We found that in the molecular adiabatic limit, when this ratio tends to zero and the model describes the corresponding donor complexes, the physical interpretation of the quantum-size effect and the oscillations of energy levels in threading magnetic field revealed for the excitons spectra becomes more transparent.     

Analytic solution for a static black hole in the RSII model

We present here a static solution for a large black hole (whose horizon radius is larger than the AdS radius) located on the brane in RSII model. According to some arguments based on the AdS/CFT conjecture, a solution for the black hole located on the brane in RSII model must encode quantum gravitational effects and therefore cannot be static. We demonstrated that a static solution can be found if the bulk is not empty. The stress energy tensor of the matter distribution in the bulk for the solution we found is physical (i.e. it is non-singular with the energy density and pressure not violating any energy conditions). The scale of the solution is given by a parameter “a”. For large values of the parameter “a” we have a limit of an almost empty AdS bulk. It is interesting that the solution cannot be transformed into the Schwarzschild-like form and does not reduce to the Schwarzschild solution on the brane. We also present two other related static solutions. At the end, we discuss why the numerical methods failed so far in finding static solutions in this context, including the solutions we found analytically here.     

Charged thin-shell gravastars in noncommutative geometry

In this paper we construct a charged thin-shell gravastar model within the context of noncommutative geometry. To do so, we choose the interior of the nonsingular de Sitter spacetime with an exterior charged noncommutative solution by cut-and-paste technique and apply the generalized junction conditions. We then investigate the stability of a charged thin-shell gravastar under linear perturbations around the static equilibrium solutions as well as the thermodynamical stability of the charged gravastar. We find the stability regions, by choosing appropriate parameter values, located sufficiently close to the event horizon.
