A Note on Gauss-Bonnet Holographic Superconductors
We present an analytic treatment near the phase transition for the critical
temperature of (3+1)-dimensional holographic superconductors in
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with backreaction. We find that the backreaction
makes the critical temperature of the superconductor decrease and condensation
harder. This is consistent with previous numerical results.Comment: 6 pages, typos corrected, references added, published versio
Reconstructing quintom from WMAP 5-year observations: Generalized ghost condensate
In the 5-year WMAP data analysis, a new parametrization form for dark energy
equation-of-state was used, and it has been shown that the equation-of-state,
, crosses the cosmological-constant boundary . Based on this
observation, in this paper, we investigate the reconstruction of quintom dark
energy model. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the
generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for
realizing the quintom-like behavior. Therefore, we reconstruct this
scalar-field quintom dark energy model from the WMAP 5-year observational
results. As a comparison, we also discuss the quintom reconstruction based on
other specific dark energy ansatzs, such as the CPL parametrization and the
holographic dark energy scenarios.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure
Comparison of dark energy models: A perspective from the latest observational data
In this paper, we compare some popular dark energy models under the
assumption of a flat universe by using the latest observational data including
the type Ia supernovae Constitution compilation, the baryon acoustic
oscillation measurement from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the cosmic microwave
background measurement given by the seven-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy
Probe observations and the determination of from the Hubble Space
Telescope. Model comparison statistics such as the Bayesian and Akaike
information criteria are applied to assess the worth of the models. These
statistics favor models that give a good fit with fewer parameters. Based on
this analysis, we find that the simplest cosmological constant model that has
only one free parameter is still preferred by the current data. For other
dynamical dark energy models, we find that some of them, such as the
dark energy, constant , generalized Chaplygin gas,
Chevalliear-Polarski-Linder parametrization, and holographic dark energy
models, can provide good fits to the current data, and three of them, namely,
the Ricci dark energy, agegraphic dark energy, and Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati
models, are clearly disfavored by the data.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures; new data used, typos fixed; version for

Hologrphy and holographic dark energy model
The holographic principle is used to discuss the holographic dark energy
model. We find that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy bound is far from saturation
under certain conditions. A more general constraint on the parameter of the
holographic dark energy model is also derived.Comment: no figures, use revtex, v2: use iop style, some typos corrected and

Back reaction, covariant anomaly and effective action
In the presence of back reaction, we first produce the one-loop corrections
for the event horizon and Hawking temperature of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black
hole. Then, based on the covariant anomaly cancelation method and the effective
action technique, the modified expressions for the fluxes of gauge current and
energy momentum tensor, due to the effect of back reaction, are obtained. The
results are consistent with the Hawking fluxes of a (1+1)-dimensional blackbody
at the temperature with quantum corrections, thus confirming the robustness of
the covariant anomaly cancelation method and the effective action technique for
black holes with back reaction.Comment: 17 page
Systematic studies of binding energy dependence of neutron - proton momentum correlation function
Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) results of the neutron-proton correlation function
have been systematically investigated for a series nuclear reactions with light
projectiles with help of Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics model.
The relationship between the binding energy per nucleon of the projectiles and
the strength of the neutron-proton HBT at small relative momentum has been
obtained. Results show that neutron-proton HBT results are sensitive to the
binding energy per nucleon.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures; accepted by Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and

Is Noncommutative Eternal Inflation Possible?
We investigate the condition for eternal inflation to take place in the
noncommutative spacetime. We find that the possibility for eternal inflation's
happening is greatly suppressed in this case. If eternal inflation cannot
happen in the low energy region where the noncommutativity is very weak (the UV
region), it will never happen during the whole inflationary history. Based on
these conclusions, we argue that an initial condition for eternal inflation is
available from the property of spacetime noncommutativity.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, accepted by JCA
Back reaction, emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy
Recently, an interesting work, which reformulates the tunneling framework to
directly produce the Hawking emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy in the
tunneling picture, has been received a broad attention. However, during the
emission process, most related observations have not incorporated the effects
of back reaction on the background spacetime, whose derivations are therefore
not the desiring results for the real physical process. With this point as a
central motivation, in this paper we suitably adapt the \emph{reformulated}
tunneling framework so that it can well accommodate the effects of back
reaction to produce the Hawking emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy.
Consequently, we interestingly find that, when back reaction is considered, the
Parikh-Wilczek's outstanding observations that, an isolated radiating black
hole has an unitary-evolving emission spectrum that is \emph{not} precisely
thermal, but is related to the change of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, can
also be reproduced in the reformulated tunneling framework, meanwhile the
entropy spectrum has the same form as that without inclusion of back reaction,
which demonstrates the entropy quantum is \emph{independent} of the effects of
back reaction. As our final analysis, we concentrate on the issues of the black
hole information, but \emph{unfortunately} find that, even including the
effects of back reaction and higher-order quantum corrections, such tunneling
formalism can still not provide a mechanism for preserving the black hole
information.Comment: 16 pages, no figure, use JHEP3.cls. to be published in JHE
Probing interaction and spatial curvature in the holographic dark energy model
In this paper we place observational constraints on the interaction and
spatial curvature in the holographic dark energy model. We consider three kinds
of phenomenological interactions between holographic dark energy and matter,
i.e., the interaction term is proportional to the energy densities of dark
energy (), matter (), and matter plus dark energy
(). For probing the interaction and spatial curvature in
the holographic dark energy model, we use the latest observational data
including the type Ia supernovae (SNIa) Constitution data, the shift parameter
of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) given by the five-year Wilkinson
Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP5) observations, and the baryon acoustic
oscillation (BAO) measurement from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Our
results show that the interaction and spatial curvature in the holographic dark
energy model are both rather small. Besides, it is interesting to find that
there exists significant degeneracy between the phenomenological interaction
and the spatial curvature in the holographic dark energy model.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures; to appear in JCA
