Particle production in curved spacetime

Particle production in curved spacetime has been discussed through the method of complex time WKB approximation. We consider Dirac equation in non-flat spacetime to understand particle production as particle-antiparticle rotation. The method is also generalized to understand particle production through parametric resonance. To understand the method of CWKB we consider particle production in Kasner spacetime as an example.     

Dirac current in expanding spacetime

We study the behaviour of Dirac current in expanding spacetime with Schrödinger and de Sitter form for the evolution of the scale-factor. The study is made to understand the particle-antiparticle rotation and the evolution of quantum vacuum leading to particle production in such spacetime.     

Restrictions on negative energy density for the Dirac field in flat spacetime

This paper investigates the quantum Dirac field in n+1-dimensional flat spacetime and derives a lower bound in the form of quantum inequality on the energy density averaged against spacetime sampling functions. The state-independent quantum inequality derived in the present paper is similar to the temporal quantum energy inequality and it is stronger for massive field than for massless one. It also presents the concrete results of the quantum inequality in 2 and 4-dimensional spacetimes.     

Creation of vector bosons by an electric field in curved spacetime

We investigate the creation rate of massive spin-1 bosons in the de Sitter universe by a time-dependent electric field via the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation. Complete solutions are given by the Whittaker functions and particle creation rate is computed by using the Bogoliubov transformation technique. We analyze the influence of the electric field on the particle creation rate for the strong and vanishing electric fields. We show that the electric field amplifies the creation rate of charged, massive spin-1 particles. This effect is analyzed by considering similar calculations performed for scalar and spin-1/2$1/2$ particles.     

On the uniqueness of the Dirac theory in curved and flat spacetime

In this work a number of examples are used to illustrate uniqueness of physical prediction of the Dirac theory in a curved and a flat spacetime. Dirac Hamiltonians in arbitrary, including time‐dependent, gravitational fields uniquely determine physical characteristics of quantum‐mechanical systems irrespective of the choice of the tetrad fields. Direct spin‐rotation coupling that occurs with a certain choice of tetrads does not manifest itself in final physical characteristics of the systems and therefore does not represent a physically relevant effect.     

Exact Solutions of Dirac Equation and Particle Creation in (1+3)-Dimensional Robertson-Walker Spacetime

The exact solutions of the Dirac equation are discussed for a Robertson-Walker spacetime with asymptotically Minkowskian in and out regions. We obtain the mode solutions which reduce to positive and negative Minkowskian spinors in asymptotically regions. Using the obtained solutions we compute the density of created particles.

Quantum teleportation and Kerr-Newman spacetime

We consider the teleportation in the background of Kerr-Newman spacetime. Because of the Hawking effect, the fidelity of the teleportation is reduced. The results also show the fidelity is closely related to the mass, charge and rotating velocity of the black hole: high fidelity can be reached for massive, slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes.     

Stability problem in Rindler spacetime

The stability problem of the Rindler spacetime is carefully studies by using the scalar wave perturbation. Using two different coordinate systems, the scalar wave equation is investigated. The results are different in the two cases. They are analysed and compared with each other in detail. The following conclusions are obtained: (a) the Rindler spacetime as a whole is not stable; (b) the Rindler spacetime can exist stably only as part of the Minkowski spacetime, and the Minkowski spacetime can be a real entity independently; (c) there are some defects for the scalar wave equation written by the Rindler coordinates, and it is unsuitable for the investigation of the stability properties of the Rindler spacetime. All these results may shed some light on the stability properties of the Schwarzschild black hole. It is natural and reasonable for one to infer that: (a) perhaps the Regge--Wheeler equation is not sufficient to determine the stable properties; (b) the Schwarzschild black hole as a whole might be really unstable; (c) the Kruskal spacetime is stable and can exist as a real physical entity; whereas the Schwarzschild black hole can occur only as part of the Kruskal spacetime.

The properties and geodesics related to the NUT--Taub-like spacetime

Some properties related to the NUT--Taub-like spacetime, such as the surface of infinite red-shift, horizon, singularity and the area of the NUT--Taub-like black hole are discussed. Furthermore, the geodesics in the NUT--Taub-like spacetime are obtained in some special cases. Specifically, the circular orbits for a massive particle are derived, which can reduce to the cases of the Schwarzschild spacetime and the NUT--Taub spacetime when m^*=0 and m^*\ll M, respectively.     

Riemann curvature scalar of spacetime tangent bundle

The maximum possible proper acceleration relative to the vacuum determines much of the differential geometric structure of the space-time tangent bundle. By working in an anholonomic basis adapted to the spacetime affine connection, one derives a useful expression for the Riemann curvature scalar of the bundle manifold. The explicit documentation of the proof is important because of the central role of the curvature scalar in the formulation of an action with resulting field equations and associated solutions to physical problems.     

Complex spacetime tangent bundle

It is demonstrated that the spacetime tangent bundle, in the case of a Finsler spacetime, is complex, provided that the gauge curvature field vanishes. This is accomplished by determining the conditions for the vanishing of the Nijenhuis tensor in the anholonomic frame adapted to the spacetime connection.     

Matter collineation classification of Bianchi type II spacetime

In this paper we classified the matter collineations (MCs) of Bianchi type II spacetime according to the degenerate and non-degenerate energy-momentum tensor. It is shown that when the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate, most of the cases yield infinite dimensional MCs whereas some cases give finite dimensional Lie algebras in which there are three, four or five MCs. For the non-degenerate matter tensor cases we obtained that the Lie algebra of MCs is finite dimensional, in which the number of MCs are also three, four or five. Furthermore, we discussed the physical implications of the obtained MCs in the case of perfect fluid as source.     

Nonadiabatic gravitational collapse in multidimensional spacetime

We extend to higher dimensions an earlier work of Santos regarding junction conditions for a spherical fluid distribution with heat flux and an electromagnetic field. It is observed that the pressure at the surface of distribution does not vanish when the heat flow is present.     

Quasinormal modes of D-dimensional de Sitter spacetime

We calculate the exact values of the quasinormal frequencies for an electromagnetic field and a gravitational perturbation moving in D-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (D ≥ 4). We also study the quasinormal modes of a real massive scalar field and compare our results with those of other references.     

The General Treatment of the High and Low Energy Particle Interference Phase in a Gravitational Field

The interference phase of the high energy mass neutrinos and the low energy thermal neutrons in a gravitational field are studied. For the mass neutrinos, we obtain that the phase calculated along the null is equivalent to the half phase along the geodesic in the high energy limit, which means that the correct relative phase of the mass neutrinos is either the null phase or the half geodesic phase. Further we point out the importance of the energy condition in calculating the mass neutrino interference phase. Moreover, we apply the covariant phase to the calculation of the thermal neutron interference phase, and obtain the consistent result with that exploited in COW experiment.
