(Conformal) Killing Vectors in the Newman-Penrose Formalism

Finding (conformal) Killing vectors of a given metric can be a difficult task. This paper presents an efficient technique for finding Killing, homothetic, or even proper conformal Killing vectors in the Newman-Penrose (NP) formalism. Leaning on, and extending, results previously derived in the GHP formalism we show that the (conformal) Killing equations can be replaced by a set of equations involving the commutators of the Lie derivative with the four NP differential operators, applied to the four coordinates.It is crucial that these operators refer to a preferred tetrad relative to the (conformal) Killing vectors, a notion to be defined. The equations can then be readily solved for the Lie derivative of the coordinates, i.e. for the components of the (conformal) Killing vectors. Some of these equations become trivial if some coordinates are chosen intrinsically (where possible), i.e. if they are somehow tied to the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives.If part of the tetrad, i.e. part of null directions and gauge, can be defined intrinsically then that part is generally preferred relative to any Killing vector. This is also true relative to a homothetic vector or a proper conformal Killing vector provided we make a further restriction on that intrinsic part of the tetrad. If because of null isotropy or gauge isotropy, where part of the tetrad cannot even in principle be defined intrinsically, the tetrad is defined only up to (usually) one null rotation parameter and/or a gauge factor, then the NP-Lie equations become slightly more involved and must be solved for the Lie derivative of the null rotation parameter and/or of the gauge factor as well. However, the general method remains the same and is still much more efficient than conventional methods.Several explicit examples are given to illustrate the method.     

Further Study on U(1) Gauge Invariance Restoration

To further investigate the applicability of the projection scheme for eliminating the unphysical divergence s/m_e² due to U(1) gauge invariance violation, we study the process e^- + W⁺ → e^- + t + b which possesses advantages of simplicity and clearness. Our study indicates that the projection scheme can indeed eliminate the unphysical divergence s/m_e² caused by the U(1) gauge invariance violation and the scheme can be applied to very high energy region.     

The Investigation of Gauge Transformations in the SLq(2) Gauge Field and Thermodynamics Model

Some problems about global transformations in the SLq(2) gauge field and correlative thermodynamics model have been investigated in this paper. We proved that the quantum trace of gauge potential is not gauge-invariant if we compose two GLq(2) gauge transformations. In addition, it has been discovered in SLq(2) thermodynamics model that thermodynamics average of an observable quantity does not satisfy similar gauge invariance. We also found that the thermodynamics average can be only calculated in the case of zero energy gap. This fact shows that the q-deformed energy equation in superconductivity theory is unable to derive naturally from quantum trace model.     

Swampland dS conjecture in mimetic f(R,T) gravity

In this paper, we study a theory of gravity called mimetic f(R, T) in the presence of swampland dS conjecture. For this purpose, we introduce several inflation solutions of the Hubble parameter H(N) from f(R, T) = R + δT gravity model, in which R is Ricci scalar, and T denotes the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. Also, δ and N are the free parameter and a number of e-fold, respectively. Then we calculate quantities such as potential, Lagrange multiplier, slow-roll, and some cosmological parameters such as n_s and r. Then we challenge the mentioned inflationary model from the swampland dS conjecture. We discuss the stability of the model and investigate the compatibility or incompatibility of this inflationary scenario with the latest Planck observable data.     

A method for the construction of hierarchical generalized space shift keying (GSSK) modulation for unequal error protection

In this paper, we propose a systematic method to achieve two-level unequal error protection (UEP) with generalized space shift keying (GSSK) modulation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. GSSK is a modulation scheme that encodes the source information in the antenna indices. To enable the nonuniform arrangement of the spatial constellation of GSSK modulation, new techniques are needed as new features of GSSK modulation are observed. The proposed method is based on first partitioning the GSSK constellation into subsets and then choosing constellation points inside a subset. The high-priority (HP) bits select the subset and the low-priority (LP) bits select constellation points inside a subset. The proposed subset partitioning procedure developed based on a theoretical study on set partitioning in the multidimensional space guarantees optimal or near-optimal HP protection, enables simple and systematic designs for LP protection, and increases the LP capacity. The proposed systematic design approach applies to systems with any numbers of transmit antennas and can create various hierarchical GSSK schemes with different HP/LP protection capabilities.

Tree-level breaking of SU(2)×U(1) in general SUGRA theories

It is shown that SU(2)×U(1) can be broken at the tree level, without the occurrence of global potential minima that break U(1)_e.m., in supergravity models that are more general than those proposed by Nilles, Srednicki and Wyler. The study comprises an analysis of models with a general soft supersymmetry-breaking structure as well as those of the Hall-Lykken-Weinberg type.

The generalized uncertainty principle in (A)dS space and the modification of Hawking temperature from the minimal length

Recently, the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has been extended to incorporate the existence of a large (cut-off) length scale in de Sitter or anti-de Sitter space, and the Hawking temperatures of the Schwarzshild–(anti) de Sitter black holes have been reproduced by using the extended uncertainty principle. I generalize the extended uncertainty to the case with an absolute minimum length and compute its modification to the Hawking temperature. I obtain a general trend that the generalized uncertainty principle due to the absolute minimum length “always” increases the Hawking temperature, implying “faster” decay, which is in conformity with the result in the asymptotically flat space. I also revisit the black hole-string phase transition, in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle.     

Bianchi type I in f(T) gravitational theories

A tetrad field that is homogeneous and anisotropic which contains two unknown functions A(t) and B(t) of cosmic time is applied to the field equations of f(T), where T is the torsion scalar, T = T~μ_(νρ)S_μ~(νρ). We calculate the equation of continuity and rewrite it as a product of two brackets, the first is a function of f(T) and the second is a function of the two unknowns A(t) and B(t). We use two different relations between the two unknown functions A(t) and B(t) in the second bracket to solve it. Both of these relations give constant scalar torsion and solutions coincide with the de Sitter one. So,another assumption related to the contents of the matter fields is postulated. This assumption enables us to drive a solution with a non-constant value of the scalar torsion and a form of f(T) which represents ΛCDM.     

Effect of arbitrary matter-geometry coupling on thermodynamics in f(R) theories of gravity

In this paper, the thermodynamics of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker universe have been explored in f(R) theories of gravity with arbitrary matter-geometry coupling. The equivalence between the modified Friedmann equations with any spatial curvature and the first law of thermodynamics is confirmed, where the assumption of the entropy plays a crucial role. Then laws of thermodynamics in our considering case are obtained. They can reduce to the ones given in Einstein’s general theory of relativity under certain conditions. Moreover, a particular model is investigated through the obtained generalized second law of thermodynamics with observational results of cosmographic parameters.

Continuous wavelength tuning of InAs quantum dots on InP (1 0 0) and (3 1 1)A substrates by chemical-beam epitaxy

The growth of InAs quantum dots (QDs) on InP (1 0 0) and (3 1 1)A substrates by chemical-beam epitaxy is studied. The InAs QDs are embedded in a GaInAsP layer lattice-matched to InP. We demonstrate an effective way to continuously tune the emission wavelength of InAs QDs grown on InP (1 0 0). With an ultra-thin GaAs layer inserted between the QD layer and the GaInAsP buffer, the peak wavelength from the InAs QDs can be continuously tuned from above 1.6 μm down to 1.5 μm at room temperature. The major role of the thin GaAs layer is to greatly suppress the As/P exchange during the deposition of InAs and subsequent growth interruption under arsenic flux, as well as to consume the segregated In layer floating on the GaInAsP buffer. Moreover, it is found that InP (3 1 1)A substrates are particularly promising for formation of uniform InAs QDs. The growth of InAs on InP (3 1 1)A consists of two stages: nanowire formation due to strain-driven growth instability and subsequent QD formation on top of the wires. The excellent size uniformity of the InAs QDs obtained on InP (3 1 1)A manifests itself in the narrow photoluminescence line width of 26 meV at 4.8 K.
