Entropy for <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis></Subscript> quark states

We discuss the quantum state structure using the standard model for three colored quarks in the fundamental representations of SU(3)_c making up the singlet ground state of the hadrons. This allows us to calculate a finite von Neumann entropy from the quantum reduced density matrix, which we explicitly evaluate for the quarks in a model for the meson and baryon states.Received: 9 December 2003, Revised: 23 January 2004, Published online: 8 April 2004D.E.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)-Instantons and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Spin</Emphasis>(7)-Heterotic String Solitons

Necessary and sufficient conditions to the existence of a hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion and holonomy contained in SU(3) are given. A formula for the Riemannian scalar curvature is obtained. Non-compact solution to the supergravity-type I equations of motion with non-zero flux and non-constant dilaton is found in dimension 6. Non-conformally flat non-compact solutions to the supergravity-type I equations of motion with non-zero flux and non-constant dilaton are found in dimensions 7 and 8. A Riemannian metric with holonomy contained in G₂ arises from our considerations and Hitchin’s flow equations, which seems to be new. Compact examples of SU(3),G₂ and Spin(7) instanton satisfying the anomaly cancellation conditions are presented.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) x <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) nonlocal quark model with confinement

The nonlocal version of the SU(2) x SU(2) symmetric four-quark interaction of the NJL type is considered. Each of the quark lines contains the form factors. These form factors remove the ultraviolet divergences in quark loops. The additional condition on the quark mass function m(p) ensures the absence of the poles in the quark propagator (quark confinement). The constituent-quark mass m(0) is expressed through the cut-off parameter , MeV in the chiral limit. These parameters are fixed by the experimental value of the weak pion decay and allow us to describe the mass of the light scalar meson, the strong decay and the D/S ratio in the decay in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.Received: 16 June 2003, Revised: 28 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003PACS: 14.40.-n Mesons - 11.10.Lm Nonlinear or nonlocal theories and models - 12.39.Ki Relativistic quark model     

Contracted Hamiltonian on Symmetric Space <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)/<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) and Conserved Quantities

We study the quantum model on symmetric space SU(3)/SU(2). By using the Inonu-Wigner contraction to Lie algebra su(3), we arrive at a special case of three-body Sutherland model. It has shown that by calculating conservative quantities of this model, it has Poincare Lie algebra, too.

The Dirac Operator on <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(2)

We construct a 3⁺-summable spectral triple over the quantum group SU_q(2) which is equivariant with respect to a left and a right action of The geometry is isospectral to the classical case since the spectrum of the operator D is the same as that of the usual Dirac operator on the 3-dimensional round sphere. The presence of an equivariant real structure J demands a modification in the axiomatic framework of spectral geometry, whereby the commutant and first-order properties need be satisfied only modulo infinitesimals of arbitrary high order.Partially supported by Polish State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) under grant 2 P03B 022 25.Regular Associate of the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste.     

A reanalysis of finite temperature <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>) gauge theory

We revise the SU(N _c ), N _c =3,4,6, lattice data on pure gauge theories at finite temperature by means of a quasi-particle approach. In particular, we focus on the relation between the effective mass of the quasi-particle and the order of the deconfinement transition, the scaling of the interaction measure with N²_c -1N^{2}_{c} -1, the role of gluon condensate, and the screening mass.     

A Pseudo-cocycle for the Comultiplication on the Quantum <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">2</Emphasis>) Group

We show that the comultiplication on the quantum group SU _q (2) may be obtained from that on the quantum semigroup SU ₀(2) by twisting with a unitary 2-pseudo-cocycle.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">O</Emphasis>(1) eV sterile neutrino in <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) gravity

We refer [1] to the role of an additional O(1) eV sterile neutrino in modified gravity models. We find parameter constraints in particular f(R) gravity model using following up-to-dated cosmological data: measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy, the CMB lensing potential, the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), the cluster mass function and the Hubble constant. It was obtained for the sterile neutrino mass 0.47 eV < m _ν,sterile < 1 eV (2σ) assuming that the sterile neutrinos are thermalized and the active neutrinos are massless, not significantly larger than in the standard cosmology model within the same data set: 0.45 eV < m _ν,sterile < 0.92 eV (2σ). But, if the mass of sterile neutrino is fixed and equals ≈ 1.5 eV according to various anomalies in neutrino oscillation experiments, f(R) gravity is much more consistent with observation data than the CDM model.     

Trace anomaly and quasi-particles in finite temperature <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>) gauge theory

We consider deconfined matter in SU(N) gauge theory as an ideal gas of transversely polarized quasi-particle modes having a temperature-dependent mass m(T). Just above the transition temperature, the mass is assumed to be determined by the critical behavior of the energy density and the screening length in the medium. At high temperature, it becomes proportional to T as the only remaining scale. The resulting (trace anomaly based) interaction measure Δ=(ϵ−3P)/T ⁴ and energy density are found to agree well with finite temperature SU(3) lattice calculations.     

Interacting Dark Energy in the Dark <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(2)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis></Subscript> Model

We explore the cosmological implications of the interactions among the dark particles in the dark SU(2) _R model. It turns out that the relevant interaction is between dark energy and dark matter, through a decay process. With respect to the standard ΛCDM model, it changes only the background equations. We note that the observational aspects of the model are dominated by degeneracies between the parameters that describe the process. Thus, only the usual Λ CDM parameters such as the Hubble expansion rate and the dark energy density parameter (interpreted as the combination of the densities of the dark energy doublet) could be constrained by observations at this moment.     

Interplay between grand unification and supersymmetry in <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">SU</Emphasis>(5) and <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">E</Emphasis> <Subscript> <Emphasis Type="Bold">6</Emphasis> </Subscript>

Some aspects of minimal supersymmetric renormalizable grand unified theories are reviewed here. These include some constraints on the model parameters from the Higgs and light fermion masses in SU(5), and the issues of symmetry breaking, doublet–triplet splitting and fermion masses in E₆.     

Polynomial Realization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>l<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(2) and Fusion Rules at Exceptional Values of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>

Representations of the sℓ_q(2) algebra are constructed in the space of polynomials of real (complex) variable for q^N=1. The spin addition rule based on eigenvalues of Casimir operator is illustrated on few simplest cases and conjecture for general case is formulated.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) Cosmology from <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-theory

From a macroscopic theory of the quantum vacuum in terms of conserved relativistic charges (generically denoted by q ^(a) with label a), we have obtained, in the low-energy limit, a particular type of f(R) model relevant to cosmology. The macroscopic quantum-vacuum theory allows us to distinguish between different phenomenological f(R) models on physical grounds. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Fermion Localization on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">orbifold</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>

The hierarchical structure of fermion masses of the Standard Model is explained in split fermion models by localizing the fermions at different points in an extra dimension. We consider split fermion models with two bulk scalars compactified on an orbifold. In the static case we find analytical expression for the localizer. We also address the issue of stability of the localizer. We also find exact solutions for the fermion zero modes. We explore the parameter space of the model. We find ample opportunity for construction of phenomenologically viable theories exist.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-boson-fermion realizations of the quantum superalgebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">osp</Emphasis>(1/2))

We show that our construction of realizations for algebras and quantum algebras can be generalized to quantum superalgebras too. We studyan example of quantum superalgebra U _q (osp(1/2)) and give the boson-fermion realization with respect to one pair of q-boson operators and one pair of fermions.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2|1) supersymmetric mechanics as a deformation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> = 4 mechanics

We give a brief review of SU(2|1) supersymmetric quantum mechanics based on the worldline realizations of the supergroup SU(2|1) in the appropriate N = 4, d = 1 superspaces. The corresponding SU(2|1) models are deformations of standard N = 4, d = 1 models by a mass parameter m.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) Non-Abelian Photon

In this paper, we have proposed S U(2) non-Abelian electromagnetism gauge theory. In the theory, photon has self-interaction and interaction between them, which can explain photon entanglement phenomenon in quantum information. Otherwise, we find there are three kinds photons γ ⁺, γ ^? and γ ⁰, they have electric charge + e _γ , ? e _γ and 0, respectively, these prediction are accordance with some experiment results.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) global monopole revisited

In this paper the f(R) global monopole is reexamined. We provide an exact solution for the modified field equations in the presence of a global monopole for regions outside its core, generalizing previous results. Additionally, we discuss some particular cases obtained from this solution. We consider a setup consisting of a possible Schwarzschild black hole that absorbs the topological defect, giving rise to a static black hole endowed with a monopole’s charge. Besides, we demonstrate how the asymptotic behavior of the Higgs field far from the monopole’s core is shaped by a class of spacetime metrics which includes the ones analyzed here. In order to assess the gravitational properties of this system, we analyze the geodesic motion of both massive and massless test particles moving in the vicinity of such configuration. For the material particles we set the requirements they have to obey in order to experience stable orbits. On the other hand, for the photons we investigate how their trajectories are affected by the gravitational field of this black hole.
