Exact solutions of Einstein-conformal scalar equations

The massless scalar field which satisfies a conformally invariant equation is in some respects more interesting than the ordinary one. Unfortunately, few, if any, exact solutions of Einstein's equations for a conformal scalar stress-energy have appeared previously. Here we present a theorem by means of which one can generate two Einstein-conformal scalar solutions from a single Einstein-ordinary scalar solution (of which many are known). As an example we show how to obtain Weyl-like solutions with a conformal scalar field. We obtain and analyze in some detail two families of spherically symmetric static Einstein-conformal scalar solutions. We also exhibit a family of static spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-conformal scalar solutions (parametrized by both electric and scalar charge), which have black-hole geometries but are not genuine black holes. Finally, we present all the Robertson-Walker cosmological models which contain both incoherent radiation and a homogeneous conformal scalar field. One class of these represents open universes which bounce and never pass through a singular state; they circumvent the “singularity theorems” by violating the energy condition.     

Relativistic Shifted-l Expansion Technique for Dirac and Klein-Gordon Equations

The shifted-l expansion technique (SLET) is extended to solve for Dirac particle trapped in spherically symmetric scalar and/or kvector potentials. A parameter λ = 0, l is introduced in such a way that one can obtain the Klein-Gordon (KG) bound states from Dirac bound states. The 4-vector Coulomb, the scalar linear, and the equally mixed scalar and 4-vector power-law potentials are used in KG and Dirac equations. Exact numerical results are obtained for the Cvector Coulomb potential in both KG and Dirac equations. Highly accurate and fast converging results are obtained for the scalar linear and the equally mixed scalar and 4-vector power-law potentials.     

雷诺数对圆柱尾流中被动标量场的影响

本文通过实验研究雷诺数对加热圆柱尾流中温度场的影响.实验中雷诺数Re(≡U∞d/v,其中U∞为来流速度、d为圆柱直径、v为流体黏度)的取值范围为1200-8600.实验中温度是由直径为0.63 μm的冷线探针测量的.实验结果表明,一般而言,雷诺数对整个尾流的标量混合特性有着显著的影响.随着雷诺数的增加,平均标量场向外的扩散速度加快、标量脉动强度增加了但衰减也加快.本文还发现:尾流中似乎存在两个区域,一个位于卡门涡街下游靠后,另一个就是传统的远场自相似区;在这两个区域,某些描述标量和动量的相似关系式近似成立.     

Scalar flux in a uniform mean scalar gradient in homogeneous isotropic steady turbulence

Statistics of a passive scalar flux in a uniform mean scalar gradient convected by homogeneous isotropic steady turbulence are numerically studied by using very high resolution direct numerical simulation. It is found that the Nusselt number increases in proportion to the Péclet number and that the one point probability density function of the scalar flux is negatively skewed and exponential, and is insensitive to the variation of the Péclet number. The scalar field is studied by visualization, and the ramp-cliff structure and the mesa-canyon structure are observed along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the mean scalar gradient, respectively. The probability density function of the scalar flux is theoretically computed and found to be in good agreement with the numerical results. A Lagrangian statistical theory for the scalar flux is developed, which predicts that the scalar transfer flux is given by the time integral of the Lagrangian velocity autocorrelation and increases in proportion to the Péclet number, which is consistent with the results of the direct numerical simulation. A physical explanation of the asymmetry of the scalar flux PDF is explored.     

Preheating and vacuum metastability in supersymmetry

The constraints imposed by the requirement that the scalar potential of supersymmetric theories does not have unbounded directions and charge or color breaking minima deeper than the usual electroweak breaking minimum (EWM) are significantly relaxed if one just allows for a metastable EWM but with a sufficiently long lifetime. For this to be acceptable one needs however to explain how the vacuum state reaches this metastable configuration in the first place. We discuss the implications for this issue of the inflation induced scalar masses, of the supersymmetry breaking effects generated during the preheating stage as well as of the thermal corrections to the scalar potential which appear after reheating. We show that their combined effects may efficiently drive the scalar fields to the origin, allowing them to then evolve naturally towards the EWM.     

Clifford hopf-gebra and bi-universal hopf-gebra

We consider a pair of independent scalar products, one scalar product on vectors, and another independent scalar product on dual space of co-vectors. The Clifford co-product of multivectors is calculated from the dual Clifford algebra. With respect to this co-product unit is not group-like and vectors are not primitive. The Clifford product and the Clifford co-product fits to the bi-gebra with respect to the family of the (pre)-braids. The Clifford bi-gebra is in a braided category iff at least one of these scalar products vanish.

A New Treatment of 2N and 3N Bound States in Three Dimensions

The direct treatment of the Faddeev equation for the three-boson system in 3 dimensions is generalized to nucleons. The one Faddeev equation for identical bosons is replaced by a strictly finite set of coupled equations for scalar functions which depend only on 3 variables. The spin-momentum dependence occurring as scalar products in 2N and 3N forces accompanied by scalar functions is supplemented by a corresponding expansion of the Faddeev amplitudes. After removing the spin degrees of freedom by suitable operations only scalar expressions depending on momenta remain. The corresponding steps are performed for the deuteron leading to two coupled equations.     

Quantization of scalar field in cosmic spaces

Equations of scalar field are constructed by the method of embedding in conformally planar cosmic spaces of the general relativity theory (GRT). The equations are linear relative to the scalar field, which, on the one hand, enables one to regard the permutation function as a four-dimensional radially symmetric solution of the equation of the scalar field, and on the other hand, as a commutator of the wave solutions of the field; in this way the quantization laws are determined for the Fourier amplitudes of the solutions of the equations for the meson field. The wave solution of the scalar meson field is found in the conformally planar GRT space, and the permutation function is obtained as their commutator.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 75–79, March, 1977.     

Electromagnetic solutions of the field equations in presence of zeromass mesons

The field equations of general relativity with electromagnetic stress tensor and zeromass scalar meson field are investigated. The metric coefficients are assumed to be functions of three variables only. It is then shown that, if one assumes a functional relation between some one of the metric coefficients and the electromagnetic potentials, that one can find a solution of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations in terms of a solution of the Einstein equations with zeromass scalar meson field as source.     

Klein-Gordon Field in the Rotating Black Branes Wrapped on Einstein Spaces

We show that the equation of motion for a massive scalar field coupled to the scalar curvature is separable in the n-dimensional metric with one rotation parameter (n > 4) found by Klemm, which includes, for example, the n-dimensional Kerr-AdS solution with one rotation parameter. When the scalar field is massless and not coupled to the scalar curvature we obtain some limiting cases of our results and we compare them with other results recently published. Also, we make a brief analysis of the differential equations obtained by separation of variables when the n-dimensional Kerr black hole with one rotation parameter is the background metric.     

On AdS/QCD correspondence and the partonic picture of deep inelastic scattering

We critically examine the question of scaling of the Deep Inelastic Scattering process in the medium Bjorken x region on a scalar boson in the framework of the AdS/QCD correspondence. To get the right polarization structure of the forward electroproduction amplitude, we show that one needs to add (at least) the scalar to scalar and scalar to vector hadronic amplitudes. This illustrates how the partonic picture may emerge from a simple scenario based on the AdS/QCD correspondence, provided one allows the conformal dimension of the hadronic field to equal 1 and use the concept of “hadron–parton duality”.     

Novel theoretical constraints for color-octet scalar models

We study the theoretical constraints on a model whose scalar sector contains one color octet and one or two color singlet SU(2)L doublets. To ensure unitarity of the theory, we constrain the parameters of the scalar potential for the first time at the next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. Moreover, we derive new conditions guaranteeing the stability of the potential. We employ the HEPfit package to extract viable parameter regions at the electroweak scale and test the stability of the renormalization group evolution up to the multi-Te V region. Furthermore,we set upper limits on the scalar mass splittings. All results are given for both cases with and without a second scalar color singlet.     

Color dielectric model with two scalar fields

SU(2) Yang-Mills theory coupled in a non-minimal way to two scalar fields is discussed. For the massless scalar fields a family of finite energy solutions generated by an external, static electric charge is found. Additionally, there is a single solution which can be interpreted as a confining one. Similar solutions have been obtained in the magnetic sector. In the case of massive scalar fields the Coulomb problem is investigated. We find that asymptotic behavior of the fields can also, for some values of the parameters of the model, give confinement of the electric charge. Quite interestingly one glueball-meson coupling gives the linear confining potential. Finally, it is shown how, for one non-dynamical scalar field, we can derive the color dielectric generalization of the Pagels-Tomboulis model.Received: 22 April 2003, Published online: 12 September 2003     

Series solutions for a static scalar potential in a Salam-Sezgin Supergravitational hybrid braneworld

The static potential for a massless scalar field shares the essential features of the scalar gravitational mode in a tensorial perturbation analysis about the background solution. Using the fluxbrane construction of [8] we calculate the lowest order of the static potential of a massless scalar field on a thin brane using series solutions to the scalar field's Klein Gordon equation and we find that it has the same form as Newton's Law of Gravity. We claim our method will in general provide a quick and useful check that one may use to see if their model will recover Newton's Law to lowest order on the brane.     

Color sextet scalars in early LHC experiments

We explore the potential for discovery of an exotic color sextet scalar in same-sign top quark pair production in early running at the LHC. We present the first phenomenological analysis at colliders of color sextet scalars with full top quark spin correlations included. We demonstrate that one can measure the scalar mass, the top quark polarization, and confirm the scalar resonance with 1 fb?1 of integrated luminosity. The top quark polarization can distinguish gauge triplet and singlet scalars.     

On the absence of homogeneous scalar unitary cellular automata

Failure to find homogeneous scalar unitary cellular automata (CA) in one dimension led to consideration of only “approximately unitary” CA - which motivated our recent proof of a No-go Lemma in one dimension. In this note we extend the one dimensional result to prove the absence of nontrivial homogeneous scalar unitary CA on Euclidean lattices in any dimension.     

Localization of scalar fields on self-gravitating thick branes

The model of a domain wall (“thick” brane) in noncompact five-dimensional spacetime is considered with geometries of AdS ₅ type generated by self-interacting scalar matter. The scalar matter is composed of two fields with O(2) symmetric self interaction. One of them is mixed with gravity scalar modes and plays role of the brane formation mode (due to a kink background) and another one is of a Higgs-field type. The interplay between soft breaking of O(2) symmetry and gravity influence is thoroughly investigated around the critical point of spontaneous t symmetry breaking when the v.e.v. of the Higgs-type scalar field occurs. The possibility of (quasi)localization of scalar modes on such thick branes is examined.     

A minimal model for two-component FIMP dark matter:A basic search

In the multi-component configurations of dark matter phenomenology,we propose a minimal twocomponent configuration which is an extension of the Standard Model with only three new fields;one scalar and one fermion interact with the thermal soup through Higgs portal,mediated by the other scalar in such a way that the stabilities of dark matter candidates are made simultaneously by an explicit Z2 symmetry.Against the most common freeze-out framework,we look for dark matter particle signatures in the freeze-in scenario by evaluating the relic density and detection signals.A simple distinguishing feature of the model is the lack of dark matter conversion,so the dark matter components act individually and the model can be adapted entirely to both singlet scalar and singlet fermionic models,separately.We find dark matter self-interaction as the most promising approach to probe such feeble models.Although the scalar component satisfies this constraint,the fermionic one refuses it even in the resonant region.     

Definitions and units in mechanics

With displacement, time, and force as basic undefined physical quantities, other physical quantities are defined as combinations of two vector quantities and one scalar quantity. Combinations include multiplication and division of vectors by vectors, scalars by vectors, and scalars by scalars. Defined quantities are vectors, scalars or quaternions, depending on directions of vectors in the definitions. Division of a vector by a vector is equivalent to multiplication of vectors divided by a scalar. The unit of a vector (or scalar) is itself a vector (or scalar) quantity. Thesquare meter (a vector) differs from meter ² (a scalar), and the cubic meter (a scalar) is different frommeter ³ . The characteristics of displacement, time, and force are considered known from experience.     

General covariance violation and the gravitational dark matter: Vector graviton

The (four-component) vector graviton contained in the metric, the scalar component incorporated, is attributed to the violation of the general covariance to the residual isoharmonic one. In addition to the previously studied (singlet) scalar graviton, the vector graviton may constitute one more fraction of the gravitational dark matter. The gravity interactions of the vector graviton, as well as its impact on the continuous medium, are studied. The text was submitted by the author in English.
