Can a wormhole generate electromagnetic field?
We have considered the possibility of a slowly rotating wormhole surrounded
by a cloud of charged particles. Due to slow rotation of the wormhole, the
charged particles are dragged thereby producing an electromagnetic field. We
have determined the strength of this electromagnetic field and the
corresponding flux of radiation.Comment: 9 pages, typos fixe
Thermodynamical description of interacting entropy-corrected new agegraphic dark energy
To explain the accelerating universe driven by dark energy, a so-called
"entropy-corrected new agegraphic dark energy" (ECNADE), was recently proposed
with the help of quantum corrections to the entropy-area relation in the
framework of loop quantum cosmology. Using this definition, we study its
thermodynamical features including entropy and energy conservation. We discuss
the thermodynamical interpretation of the interaction between ECNADE and dark
matter in a non-flat universe bounded by the apparent horizon. We obtain a
relation between the interaction term of the dark components and thermal
fluctuation.Comment: 8 pages, version accepted for publication in Europhysics Letters

Attractor Solutions in f(T) Cosmology
In this paper, we explore the cosmological implications of interacting dark
energy model in a torsion based gravity namely . Assuming dark energy
interacts with dark matter and radiation components, we examine the stability
of this model by choosing different forms of interaction terms. We consider
three different forms of dark energy: cosmological constant, quintessence and
phantom energy. We then obtain several attractor solutions for each dark energy
model interacting with other components. This model successfully explains the
coincidence problem via the interacting dark energy scenario.Comment: 10 pages, 23 figures, version accepted for publication in European

Statefinder Parameter for Varying G in Three Fluid System
In this work, we have considered variable G in flat FRW universe filled with
the mixture of dark energy, dark matter and radiation. If there is no
interaction between the three fluids, the deceleration parameter and
statefinder parameters have been calculated in terms of dimensionless density
parameters which can be fixed by observational data. Also the interaction
between three fluids has been analyzed due to constant . The statefinder
parameters also calculated in two cases: pressure is constant and pressure is
variable.Comment: 5 pages, Accepted for publication in "Astrophysics and Space Science
Solvable K-essence Cosmologies and Modified Chaplygin Gas Unified Models of Dark Energy and Dark Matter
This paper is devoted to the investigation of modified Chaplygin gas model in
the context of solvable k-essence cosmologies. For this purpose, we construct
equations of state parameter of this model for some particular values of the
parameter . The graphical behavior of these equations are also discussed by
using power law form of potential. The relationship between k-essence and
modified Chaplygin gas model shows viable results in the dark energy scenario.
We conclude that the universe behaves as a cosmological constant, quintessence
phase or phantom phase depending upon .Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Possibility of cyclic Turnarounds In Brane-world Scenario: Phantom Energy Accretion onto Black Holes and its consequences
A universe described by braneworlds is studied in a cyclic scenario. As
expected such an oscillating universe will undergo turnarounds, whenever the
phantom energy density reaches a critical value from either side. It is found
that a universe described by RSII brane model will readily undergo oscillations
if, either the brane tension, \lambda, or the bulk cosmological constant,
\Lambda_{4}, is negative. The DGP brane model does not readily undergo cyclic
turnarounds. Hence for this model a modified equation is proposed to
incorporate the cyclic nature. It is found that there is always a remanent mass
of a black hole at the verge of a turnaround. Hence contrary to known results
in literature, it is found that the destruction of black holes at the
turnaround is completely out of question. Finally to alleviate, if not solve,
the problem posed by the black holes, it is argued that the remanent masses of
the black holes do not act as a serious defect of the model because of Hawking
evaporation.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures; International Journal of Theoretical Physics

Design Concepts and Process Analysis for Transmuter Fuel Manufacturing: Quarterly Progress Report #2
This report discusses mainly the fabrication of inert matrix fuels. There are three fabrication routes to obtain inert matrix fuels (IMF). IMF is a dispersion-type fuel in which the actinide phase is distributed as a separate phase in a so called inert matrix. This concept has evolved as one of the most promising in the field of transmutation. The following section discusses each manufacturing route aside
