Holographic interacting dark energy in the braneworld cosmology
We investigate a model of brane cosmology to find a unified description of
the radiation-matter-dark energy universe. It is of the interacting holographic
dark energy with a bulk-holographic matter . This is a five-dimensional
cold dark matter, which plays a role of radiation on the brane. Using the
effective equations of state instead of the
native equations of state , we show that this model
cannot accommodate any transition from the dark energy with to the phantom regime . Furthermore, the case of interaction between cold dark matter and
five dimensional cold dark matter is considered for completeness. Here we find
that the redshift of matter-radiation equality is the same order
as . Finally, we obtain
a general decay rate which is suitable for describing all interactions
including the interaction between holographic dark energy and cold dark matter.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
Phase transitions for the Lifshitz black holes
We study possibility of phase transitions between Lifshitz black holes and
other configurations by using free energies explicitly. A phase transition
between Lifshitz soliton and Lifshitz black hole might not occur in three
dimensions. We find that a phase transition between Lifshitz and BTZ black
holes unlikely occurs because they have different asymptotes. Similarly, we
point out that any phase transition between Lifshitz and black branes unlikely
occurs in four dimensions since they have different asymptotes. This is
consistent with a necessary condition for taking a phase transition in the
gravitational system, which requires the same asymptote.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, a revised version to appear in EPJ
Thermodynamics of an Evaporating Schwarzschild Black Hole in Noncommutative Space
We investigate the effects of space noncommutativity and the generalized
uncertainty principle on the thermodynamics of a radiating Schwarzschild black
hole. We show that evaporation process is in such a way that black hole reaches
to a maximum temperature before its final stage of evolution and then cools
down to a nonsingular remnant with zero temperature and entropy. We compare our
results with more reliable results of string theory. This comparison Shows that
GUP and space noncommutativity are similar concepts at least from view point of
black hole thermodynamics.Comment: 15 Pages, 2 Figures, revised and refernces adde
Quintessence and Brane world scenarios
We discuss the possibility of quintessence in the dilatonic domain walls
including the Randall-Sundrum brane world. We obtain the zero mode effective
action for gravitating objects in the dilatonic domain wall. First we consider
the four dimensional (4D) gravity and the Brans-Dicke graviscalar with a
potential. This can be further rewritten as a minimally coupled scalar with the
Liouville-type potential in the Einstein frame. However this model fails to
induce the quintessence on the dilatonic domain wall because the potential is
negative. Second we consider the 4D gravity with the dilaton. In this case we
find also a negative potential. Any negative potential gives us negative energy
density and positive pressure, which does not lead to an accelerating universe.
Consequently it turns out that the zero mode approach of the dilatonic domain
wall cannot accommodate the quintessence in cosmology.Comment: 10 pages, some ambiguity in mathematical expressions corrected and

Electronic Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Atomic Forces, Vibrations, and Anharmonicities
Atomic forces are calculated for first-row monohydrides and carbon monoxide
within electronic quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). Accurate and efficient forces are
achieved by using an improved method for moving variational parameters in
variational QMC. Newton's method with singular value decomposition (SVD) is
combined with steepest descent (SD) updates along directions rejected by the
SVD, after initial SD steps. Dissociation energies in variational and diffusion
QMC agree well with experiment. The atomic forces agree quantitatively with
potential energy surfaces, demonstrating the accuracy of this force procedure.
The harmonic vibrational frequencies and anharmonicity constants, derived from
the QMC energies and atomic forces, also agree well with experimental values.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; updated conten
Dilaton gravity approach to three dimensional Lifshitz black hole
The z=3 Lifshitz black hole is an exact black hole solution to the new
massive gravity in three dimensions. In order to understand this black hole
clearly, we perform a dimensional reduction to two dimensional dilaton gravity
by utilizing the circular symmetry. Considering the linear dilaton, we find the
same Lifshitz black hole in two dimensions. This implies that all thermodynamic
quantities of the z=3 Lifshitz black hole could be obtained from its
corresponding black hole in two dimensions. As a result, we derive the
temperature, mass, heat capacity, Bekesnstein-Hawking entropy, and free energy.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, version to appear in EPJ
Regular black hole in three dimensions
We find a new black hole in three dimensional anti-de Sitter space by
introducing an anisotropic perfect fluid inspired by the noncommutative black
hole. This is a regular black hole with two horizons. We compare thermodynamics
of this black hole with that of non-rotating BTZ black hole. The first-law of
thermodynamics is not compatible with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.Comment: 15 pages, 16 figures, 3D noncommutative black hole included as Sec 4,

Nonpropagation of massive mode on AdS2 in topologically massive gravity
Making use of Achucarro-Ortiz (AO) type of dimensional reduction, we study
the topologically massive gravity with a negative cosmological constant on AdS2
spacetimes. For a constant dilaton, this two-dimensional model also admits
three AdS2 vacuum solutions, which are related to two AdS3 and warped AdS3
backgrounds with an identification upon uplifting three dimensions. We carry
out the perturbation analysis around these backgrounds to find what is a
physically propagating field. However, it turns out that there is no
propagating massive mode on AdS2 background, in contrast to the Kaluza-Klein
(KK) type of dimensional reduction. We note that two dimensionally reduced
actions are different and thus, the non-equivalence of their on-shell
amplitudes is obtained.Comment: 19 pages, version to appear in EPJ
Cosmic holographic bounds with UV and IR cutoffs
We introduce the cosmic holographic bounds with two UV and IR cutoff scales,
to deal with both the inflationary universe in the past and dark energy in the
future. To describe quantum fluctuations of inflation on sub-horizon scales, we
use the Bekenstein-Hawking energy bound. However, it is not justified that the
D-bound is satisfied with the coarse-grained entropy. The Hubble bounds are
introduced for classical fluctuations of inflation on super-horizon scales. It
turns out that the Hubble entropy bound is satisfied with the entanglement
entropy and the Hubble temperature bound leads to a condition for the slow-roll
inflation. In order to describe the dark energy, we introduce the holographic
energy density which is the one saturating the Bekenstein-Hawking energy bound
for a weakly gravitating system. Here the UV (IR) cutoff is given by the Planck
scale (future event horizon), respectively. As a result, we find the close
connection between quantum and classical fluctuations of inflation, and dark
energy.Comment: 15page
