Which coordinate representations can give correct Hawking temperature of Kerr black hole by tunneling approach

Some authors found that, in different coordinates, the tunneling approach gives different Hawking temperature for the Schwarzschild black hole recently. In this paper, by studying the Hawking radiation of the Kerr black hole arising from the scalar and Dirac particles, we find that, to obtain the Hawking temperature by using tunneling effect, the coordinate representations for the stationary Kerr black hole should satisfy two conditions: (a) to keep the Killing vectors x_(t)^m{{\xi_{(t)}^\mu}} and x_(j)^m{{\xi_{(\varphi)}^\mu}} invariant; and (b) the radial coordinate transformation is a regular and non-zero function.     

Komar energy and Smarr formula for noncommutative inspired Schwarzschild black hole

We calculate the Komar energy E for a noncommutative inspired Schwarzschild black hole. A deformation from the conventional identity E = 2ST _H is found in the next to leading order computation in the noncommutative parameter θ (i.e. \({\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\theta}e^{-M^2/\theta})}\)) which is also consistent with the fact that the area law now breaks down. This deformation yields a nonvanishing Komar energy at the extremal point T _H  = 0 of these black holes. We then work out the Smarr formula, clearly elaborating the differences from the standard result M = 2ST _H , where the mass (M) of the black hole is identified with the asymptotic limit of the Komar energy. Similar conclusions are also shown to hold for a deSitter–Schwarzschild geometry.     

Critical Rotational Speeds in the Gross-Pitaevskii Theory on a Disc with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

We study the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii theory of a rotating Bose gas in a disc-shaped trap with Dirichlet boundary conditions, generalizing and extending previous results that were obtained under Neumann boundary conditions. The focus is on the energy asymptotics, vorticity and qualitative properties of the minimizers in the parameter range |log ε|≪Ω≲ε ⁻²|log ε|⁻¹ where Ω is the rotational velocity and the coupling parameter is written as ε ⁻² with ε≪1. Three critical speeds can be identified. At \varOmega = \varOmega_c1 ~ |loge|\varOmega=\varOmega_{\mathrm{c_{1}}}\sim |\log\varepsilon| vortices start to appear and for |loge| << \varOmega < \varOmega_c2 ~ e^-1|\log\varepsilon|\ll\varOmega< \varOmega_{\mathrm{c_{2}}}\sim \varepsilon^{-1} the vorticity is uniformly distributed over the disc. For \varOmega 3 \varOmega _c2\varOmega\geq\varOmega _{\mathrm{c_{2}}} the centrifugal forces create a hole around the center with strongly depleted density. For Ω≪ε ⁻²|log ε|⁻¹ vorticity is still uniformly distributed in an annulus containing the bulk of the density, but at \varOmega = \varOmega_c3 ~ e^-2|loge|^-1\varOmega=\varOmega_{\mathrm {c_{3}}}\sim\varepsilon ^{-2}|\log\varepsilon |^{-1} there is a transition to a giant vortex state where the vorticity disappears from the bulk. The energy is then well approximated by a trial function that is an eigenfunction of angular momentum but one of our results is that the true minimizers break rotational symmetry in the whole parameter range, including the giant vortex phase.     

Twisted Covariance as a Non-Invariant Restriction of the Fully Covariant DFR Model

We discuss twisted covariance over the noncommutative spacetime algebra generated by the relations [q_q^m,q_qⁿ]=iq^mn{[q_\theta^\mu,q_\theta^\nu]=i\theta^{\mu\nu}} , where the matrix θ is treated as fixed (not a tensor), and we refrain from using the asymptotic Moyal expansion of the twists.     

Calculation of hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic momentum of muon (g − 2)μ from light by light scattering diagram in nonlocal chiral quark model

The correction to anomalous magnetic momentum muon from the light by light scattering diagram with intermediate pion is calculated in framework nonlocal chiral quark model. To fix the model parameters it is suggested to use the values of mass and two photon width of the neutral pion. The value of the correction is in region a_m ^{p0 , LbL} = (5.05 ±0.03) ×10 ^{- 10}a_\mu ^{\pi ^0 , LbL} = (5.05 \pm 0.03) \times 10^{ - 10} for different set of model parameters.     

The Third Order Helicity of Magnetic Fields via Link Maps

We introduce an alternative approach to the third order helicity of a volume preserving vector field B, which leads us to a lower bound for the L ²-energy of B. The proposed approach exploits correspondence between the Milnor [`(m)]<sub>123</sub>{\bar{\mu}_{123}} -invariant for 3-component links and the homotopy invariants of maps to configuration spaces, and we provide a simple geometric proof of this fact in the case of Borromean links. Based on these connections we develop a formulation for the third order helicity of B on invariant unlinked domains of B, and provide Arnold’s style ergodic interpretation of this invariant as an average asymptotic [`(m)]₁₂₃{\bar{\mu}_{123}} -invariant of orbits of B.     

On the Massive Wave Equation on Slowly Rotating Kerr-AdS Spacetimes

The massive wave equation ${\square_{g}\psi - \alpha \frac{\Lambda}{3}\psi = 0}The massive wave equation \square_gy- a\fracL3y = 0{\square_{g}\psi - \alpha \frac{\Lambda}{3}\psi = 0} is studied on a fixed Kerr-anti de Sitter background (M,g_M,a,L){\left(\mathcal{M},g_{M,a,\Lambda}\right)}. We first prove that in the Schwarzschild case (a = 0), ψ remains uniformly bounded on the black hole exterior provided that a < \frac94{\alpha < \frac{9}{4}}, i.e. the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound holds. Our proof is based on vectorfield multipliers and commutators: The total flux of the usual energy current arising from the timelike Killing vector field T (which fails to be non-negative pointwise) is shown to be non-negative with the help of a Hardy inequality after integration over a spacelike slice. In addition to T, we construct a vectorfield whose energy identity captures the redshift producing good estimates close to the horizon. The argument is finally generalized to slowly rotating Kerr-AdS backgrounds. This is achieved by replacing the Killing vectorfield T = ∂ _t with K=?_t + l?_f{K=\partial_t + \lambda \partial_\phi} for an appropriate λ ~ a, which is also Killing and–in contrast to the asymptotically flat case–everywhere causal on the black hole exterior. The separability properties of the wave equation on Kerr-AdS are not used. As a consequence, the theorem also applies to spacetimes sufficiently close to the Kerr-AdS spacetime, as long as they admit a causal Killing field K which is null on the horizon.     

X-ray emission studies of evolution of the electron and spin structures of Mn in mixed manganites Ln1 ? xSrxMnO3 (Ln = La, Sm, and Ce)

The chemical shift DE_Kb1 \Delta E_{K_{\beta 1} } and the exchange splitting ΔE _split of the emission X-ray Mn K _β1 line in mixed manganites Ln _{1 − x} Sr _x MnO₃ (Ln = La, Sm, and Ce) have been systematically studied for the first time. It has been found that DE_Kb1 \Delta E_{K_{\beta 1} } and ΔE _split are almost the same in the range x < 0.4–0.5, as is the case in Mn₂O₃, and then they decrease relatively quickly to the values characteristic of MnO₂. It has been assumed that such a behavior corresponds to the model where in the region of hole doping (x < 0.5), the ground state is a mixture of configurations Mn³⁺ 3d ⁴ and $3d^4 \underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$3d^4 \underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{, so that the second configuration fraction increases with x. At high values of x, the configuration Mn⁴⁺ 3d ³ should be taken into account; the contribution of this configuration increases with increasing degree of doping, and it becomes dominant at x = 1. In all cases, the manganese state is high-spin.     

A method to study polydispersity of humic acid from fluorescence quenching by Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> ions

The spectral dependence of Stern–Volmer constants (K_SV^lK_{SV}^{\lambda} ) for fluorescence quenching by Cu²⁺ ions in a standard sample of humic acid (HA) (IHSS) with monochromatic excitation (λ_ex = 337.1 nm) conditions has been studied in the spectral range 400–600 nm. This is interpreted within a concept implying that HA macromolecules possess the property of polydispersity, which means that fluorophore-containing sites are different in terms of chemical nature and spatial accessibility. Modeling data show that the minimum number of spectral components required for the simulated spectral dependence of K_SV^lK_{SV}^{\lambda} to agree as closely as possible with that observed experimentally is three.     

Evaluation of Effective Resistances in Pseudo-Distance-Regular Resistor Networks

The effective resistance or two-point resistance between two nodes of a resistor network is the potential difference that appears across them when a unit current source is applied between the nodes as terminals. This concept arises in problems which deal with graphs as electrical networks including random walks, distributed detection and estimation, sensor networks, distributed clock synchronization, collaborative filtering, clustering algorithms and etc. In the previous paper (Jafarizadeh et al. in J. Math. Phys. 50:023302, 2009) a recursive formula for evaluation of effective resistances on the so-called distance-regular networks was given based on the Christoffel-Darboux identity. In this paper, we consider more general networks called pseudo-distance-regular networks or QD type networks, where we use the stratification of these networks and show that the effective resistances between a given node, say α, and all of the nodes β belonging to the same stratum with respect to α, are the same. Then, based on the spectral techniques, for those α,β’s which satisfy L^-1_aa=L^-1_bbL^{-1}_{\alpha\alpha}=L^{-1}_{\beta\beta} (L ⁻¹ is the pseudo-inverse of the Laplacian of the network), an analytical formula for effective resistances R_ab^(m)R_{\alpha\beta^{(m)}} (the equivalent resistance between terminals α and β, so that β belongs to the m-th stratum with respect to α) is given in terms of the first and second orthogonal polynomials associated with the network. From the fact that in distance-regular networks, L^-1_aa=L^-1_bbL^{-1}_{\alpha\alpha}=L^{-1}_{\beta\beta} is satisfied for all nodes α,β of the network, the effective resistances R_ab^(m)R_{\alpha\beta^{(m)}} for m=1,2,…,d (d is diameter of the network which is the same as the number of strata) are calculated directly, by using the given formula.     

Stochastic Porous Media Equations and Self-Organized Criticality: Convergence to the Critical State in all Dimensions

If X = X(t, ξ) is the solution to the stochastic porous media equation in O ì R^d, 1 ￡ d ￡ 3,{\mathcal{O}\subset \mathbf{R}^d, 1\le d\le 3,} modelling the self-organized criticality (Barbu et al. in Commun Math Phys 285:901–923, 2009) and X _c is the critical state, then it is proved that ò^￥₀m(O\O^t₀)dt < ￥,\mathbbP-a.s.{\int^{\infty}_0m(\mathcal{O}{\setminus}\mathcal{O}^t_0)dt<{\infty},\mathbb{P}\hbox{-a.s.}} and lim_t?￥ ò_O|X(t)-X_c|dx = l < ￥, \mathbbP-a.s.{\lim_{t\to{\infty}} \int_\mathcal{O}|X(t)-X_c|d\xi=\ell<{\infty},\ \mathbb{P}\hbox{-a.s.}} Here, m is the Lebesgue measure and O^t_c{\mathcal{O}^t_c} is the critical region {x ? O; X(t,x)=X_c(x)}{\{\xi\in\mathcal{O}; X(t,\xi)=X_c(\xi)\}} and X _c (ξ) ≤ X(0, ξ) a.e. x ? O{\xi\in\mathcal{O}}. If the stochastic Gaussian perturbation has only finitely many modes (but is still function-valued), lim_{t ? ￥} ò_K|X(t)-X_c|dx = 0{\lim_{t \to {\infty}} \int_K|X(t)-X_c|d\xi=0} exponentially fast for all compact K ì O{K\subset\mathcal{O}} with probability one, if the noise is sufficiently strong. We also recover that in the deterministic case ℓ = 0.     

On the number of eigenvalues of a model operator associated to a system of three-particles on lattices

A model operator H associated to a system of three particles on the threedimensional lattice ℤ³ that interact via nonlocal pair potentials is studied. The following results are established. (i) The operator H has infinitely many eigenvalues lying below the bottom of the essential spectrum and accumulating at this point if both the Friedrichs model operators h_ma h_{\mu _\alpha } (0), α = 1, 2, have threshold resonances. (ii) The operator H has finitely many eigenvalues lying outside the essential spectrum if at least one of the operators h_ma h_{\mu _\alpha } (0), α = 1, 2, has a threshold eigenvalue.     

Radiative corrections in Ke4 decay

The final state interaction of pions in the decay K ^±→π ⁺ π ⁻ e ^± ν allows one to obtain the value of the isospin and angular momentum zero pion–pion scattering length a ₀⁰. To extract this quantity from experimental data the radiative corrections (RC) have to be taken into account. Based on the lowest order results and the factorization hypothesis, we get the expressions for RC in the leading and next-to leading logarithmical approximation. It is shown that the decay width dependence on the lepton mass m _e through the parameter s = \fraca2p(ln\fracM²m_e²-1)\sigma=\frac{\alpha}{2\pi}(\ln\frac{M^{2}}{m_{e}^{2}}-1) has the standard form of the Drell–Yan process and is proportional to the Sommerfeld–Sakharov factor. The numerical estimations are presented.     

Neutrino quasielastic scattering on nuclear targets Parametrizing transverse enhancement (meson exchange currents)

We present a parametrization of the observed enhancement in the transverse electron quasielastic (QE) response function for nucleons bound in carbon as a function of the square of the four momentum transfer (Q ²) in terms of a correction to the magnetic form factors of bound nucleons. The parametrization should also be applicable to the transverse cross section in neutrino scattering. If the transverse enhancement originates from meson exchange currents (MEC), then it is theoretically expected that any enhancement in the longitudinal or axial contributions is small. We present the predictions of the “Transverse Enhancement” model (which is based on electron scattering data only) for the ν _μ , [`(n)]_m\bar{\nu}_{\mu} differential and total QE cross sections for nucleons bound in carbon. The Q ² dependence of the transverse enhancement is observed to resolve much of the long standing discrepancy in the QE total cross sections and differential distributions between low energy and high energy neutrino experiments on nuclear targets.     

Boundary Concentration for Eigenvalue Problems Related to the Onset of Superconductivity

We examine the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue w(h) and corresponding eigenfunction associated with the variational problem m(h) o inf_{y ? H¹(W;C )} \fracò_W \abs(i?+hA)y² dx dy ò_W\absy² dx dy \mu(h)\equiv\inf_{\psi\in H^{1}(\Omega;{\bf C} )} \frac{\int_{\Omega } \abs{(i\nabla+h{\bf A})\psi}^{2}\,dx\,dy} {\int_{\Omega }\abs{\psi}^{2}\,dx\,dy} in the regime h>>1. Here A is any vector field with curl equal to 1. The problem arises within the Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity with the function w(h) yielding the relationship between the critical temperature vs. applied magnetic field strength in the transition from normal to superconducting state in a thin mesoscopic sample with cross-section W ì \R²\Omega\subset\R^{2}. We first carry out a rigorous analysis of the associated problem on a half-plane and then rigorously justify some of the formal arguments of [BS], obtaining an expansion for w while also proving that the first eigenfunction decays to zero somewhere along the sample boundary ?W\partial \Omega when z is not a disc. For interior decay, we demonstrate that the rate is exponential.     

A fresh look at hadronic light-by-light scattering in the muon g - 2 with the Dyson-Schwinger approach

Using the Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations, we calculate the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_m\ensuremath a_\mu , using a phenomenological model for the gluon and quark-gluon interaction. We find a_m=(84 ±13)×10^-11\ensuremath a_\mu=(84 \pm 13)\times 10^{-11} for meson exchange, and a_m = (107 ±2 ±46)×10^-11\ensuremath a_\mu = (107 \pm 2 \pm 46)\times 10^{-11} for the quark loop. The former is commensurate with past calculations; the latter much larger due to dressing effects. This leads to a revised estimate of a_m=116 591 865.0(96.6)×10^-11\ensuremath a_\mu=116 591 865.0(96.6)\times 10^{-11} , reducing the difference between theory and experiment to ≃ 1.9s \sigma .     

Interference of Higgs boson resonances in $\mu^ + \mu^- \to\tilde{\chi}^0_i\tilde{\chi}^0_j$ with longitudinal beam polarization

We study the interference of resonant Higgs boson exchange in neutralino production in m⁺ m^-\mu^ + \mu^- annihilation with longitudinally polarized beams. We use the energy distribution of the decay lepton in the process [(c)\tilde]⁰_j ? l^± [(l)\tilde]^-±\tilde{\chi}^0_j \to \ell^{\pm} \tilde{\ell}^\mp to determine the polarization of the neutralinos. In the CP-conserving minimal supersymmetric standard model a non-vanishing asymmetry in the lepton energy spectrum is caused by the interference of Higgs boson exchange channels with different CP-eigenvalues. The contribution of this interference is large if the heavy neutral bosons H and A are nearly degenerate. We show that the asymmetry can be used to determine the couplings of the neutral Higgs bosons to the neutralinos. In particular, the asymmetry allows one to determine the relative phase of the couplings. We find large asymmetries and cross sections for a set of reference scenarios with nearly degenerate neutral Higgs bosons.     

Hamiltonian Map to Conformal Modification of Spacetime Metric: Kaluza-Klein and TeVeS

It has been shown that the orbits of motion for a wide class of non-relativistic Hamiltonian systems can be described as geodesic flows on a manifold and an associated dual by means of a conformal map. This method can be applied to a four dimensional manifold of orbits in spacetime associated with a relativistic system. We show that a relativistic Hamiltonian which generates Einstein geodesics, with the addition of a world scalar field, can be put into correspondence in this way with another Hamiltonian with conformally modified metric. Such a construction could account for part of the requirements of Bekenstein for achieving the MOND theory of Milgrom in the post-Newtonian limit. The constraints on the MOND theory imposed by the galactic rotation curves, through this correspondence, would then imply constraints on the structure of the world scalar field. We then use the fact that a Hamiltonian with vector gauge fields results, through such a conformal map, in a Kaluza-Klein type theory, and indicate how the TeVeS structure of Bekenstein and Saunders can be put into this framework. We exhibit a class of infinitesimal gauge transformations on the gauge fields U_m(x){\mathcal{U}}_{\mu}(x) which preserve the Bekenstein-Sanders condition U_mU^m=-1{\mathcal{U}}_{\mu}{\mathcal{U}}^{\mu}=-1. The underlying quantum structure giving rise to these gauge fields is a Hilbert bundle, and the gauge transformations induce a non-commutative behavior to the fields, i.e. they become of Yang-Mills type. Working in the infinitesimal gauge neighborhood of the initial Abelian theory we show that in the Abelian limit the Yang-Mills field equations provide residual nonlinear terms which may avoid the caustic singularity found by Contaldi et al.     

Production of the P-wave excited Bc-states through the Z0 boson decays

In Deng et al. (Eur. Phys. J. C 70:113, 2010), we have dealt with the production of the two color-singlet S-wave (c[`(b)])(c\bar{b})-quarkonium states B<sub>c</sub>(|(c[`(b)])₁[¹S₀]?)B_{c}(|(c\bar {b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{1}S_{0}]\rangle) and B^*_c(|(c[`(b)])<sub>1</sub>[<sup>3</sup>S<sub>1</sub>]?)B^{*}_{c}(|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{3}S_{1}]\rangle) through the Z <sup>0</sup> boson decays. As an important sequential work, we make a further discussion on the production of the more complicated P-wave excited (c[`(b)])(c\bar{b})-quarkonium states, i.e. |(c[`(b)])<sub>1</sub>[<sup>1</sup>P<sub>1</sub>]?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{1}P_{1}]\rangle and |(c[`(b)])₁[³P_J]?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{1}}[^{3}P_{J}]\rangle (with J=(1,2,3)). More over, we also calculate the channel with the two color-octet quarkonium states |(c[`(b)])<sub>8</sub>[<sup>1</sup>S<sub>0</sub>]g?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{8}}[^{1}S_{0}]g\rangle and |(c[`(b)])₈[³S₁]g?|(c\bar{b})_{\mathbf{8}}[^{3}S_{1}]g\rangle, whose contributions to the decay width maybe at the same order of magnitude as that of the color-singlet P-wave states according to the naive nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics scaling rules. The P-wave states shall provide sizable contributions to the B _c production, whose decay width is about 20% of the total decay width \varGamma _{Z⁰? Bc}\varGamma _{Z^{0}\to B_{c}}. After summing up all the mentioned (c[`(b)])(c\bar {b})-quarkonium states’ contributions, we obtain \varGamma _{Z⁰? Bc}=235.9^+352.8_-122.0\varGamma _{Z^{0}\to B_{c}}=235.9^{+352.8}_{-122.0} KeV, where the errors are caused by the main sources of uncertainty.
