Conceptual unification of elementary particles, black holes, quantum de Sitter and Anti de Sitter string states

We provide a conceptual unified description of the quantum properties of black holes (BH), elementary particles, de Sitter (dS) and Anti de Sitter (AdS) string states.The conducting line of argument is the classical-quantum (de Broglie, Compton) duality here extended to the quantum gravity (string) regime (wave-particle-string duality). The semiclassical (QFT) and quantum (string) gravity regimes are respectively characterized and related: sizes, masses, accelerations and temperatures. The Hawking temperature, elementary particle and string temperatures are shown to be the same concept in different energy regimes and turn out the precise classical-quantum duals of each other; similarly, this result holds for the BH decay rate, heavy particle and string decay rates; BH evaporation ends as quantum string decay into pure (non mixed) radiation. Microscopic density of states and entropies in the two (semiclassical and quantum) gravity regimes are derived and related, an unifying formula for BH, dS and AdS states is provided in the two regimes. A string phase transition towards the dS string temperature (which is shown to be the precise quantum dual of the semiclassical (Hawking-Gibbons) dS temperature) is found and characterized; such phase transition does not occurs in AdS alone. High string masses (temperatures) show a further (square root temperature behaviour) sector in AdS. From the string mass spectrum and string density of states in curved backgrounds, quantum properties of the backgrounds themselves are extracted and the quantum mass spectrum of BH, dS and AdS radii obtained.Comment: New original material; one minor misprint in eq.(1.3) correcte

Classical and Quantum Strings in plane waves, shock waves and spacetime singularities: synthesis and new results

Key issues of classical and quantum strings in gravitational plane waves, shock waves and spacetime singularities are synthetically understood. This includes the string mass and mode number excitations, energy-momentum tensor, scattering amplitudes, vaccum polarization and wave-string polarization effect. The role of the real pole singularities characteristic of the tree level string spectrum (real mass resonances) and that of spacetime singularities is clearly exhibited. This throws light on the issue of singularities in string theory which can be thus classified and fully physically characterized in two different sets: strong singularities (poles of order equal or larger than 2, and black holes), where the string motion is collective and non oscillating in time, outgoing and scattering states do not appear, the string does not cross the singularities, and weak singularities (poles of order smaller than 2, Dirac delta, and conic/orbifold singularities) where the whole string motion is oscillatory in time, outgoing and scattering states exist, and the string crosses the singularities. Commom features of strings in singular plane backgrounds and in inflationary backgrounds are explicitly exhibited. The string dynamics and the scattering/excitation through the singularities (whatever their kind: strong or weak) is fully physically consistent and meaningful.Comment: Synthesis and new material. 18 pages, no figure

Quantum Discrete Levels of the Universe from the Early Trans-Planckian Vacuum to the Late Dark Energy

The standard model of the universe is further completed back in time before inflation in agreement with observations, classical-quantum gravity duality and quantum space-time. Quantum vacuum energy bends the space-time and produces a constant curvature de Sitter background. We link de Sitter universe and the cosmological constant to the (classical and quantum) harmonic oscillator. Quantum discrete cosmological levels are found: size, time, vacuum energy, Hubble constant and gravitational (Gibbons-Hawking) entropy from the very early trans-planckian vacuum to the classical today vacuum energy. For each level $n = 0, 1, 2,...$, the two: post and pre (trans)-planckian phases are covered: In the post-planckian universe, the levels (in planck units) are: Hubble constant $H_{n} = {1}/\sqrt{(2n + 1)}$, vacuum energy $\Lambda_{n} = 1/(2n + 1)$, entropy $S_n = (2n + 1)$. As $n$ increases, radius, mass and $S_n$ increase, $H_n$ and $\Lambda_n$ decrease and {\it consistently} the universe {\it classicalizes}. In the pre-planckian (trans-planckian) phase, the quantum levels are: $H_{Qn} = \sqrt{(2n + 1)},\; \Lambda_{Qn} = (2n + 1)/1,\; S_{Qn} = 1/(2n + 1)$, $Q$ denoting quantum. The $n$-levels cover {\it all} scales from the far past highest excited trans-planckian level $n = 10^{122}$ with finite curvature, $\Lambda_Q = 10^{122}$ and minimum entropy $S_Q = 10^{-122}$, $n$ decreases till the planck level $(n = 0)$ and enters the post-planckian phase e.g: $n = 1, 2,...,n_{inflation} = 10^{12},... ,n_{cmb} = 10^{114},...,n_{reoin} = 10^{118},...,n_{today} = 10^{122}$ with the most classical value $H_{today} = 10^{-61}$, $\Lambda_{today} = 10^{-122}$, $S_{today} = 10^{122}$. We implement the Snyder-Yang algebra in this context yielding a consistent group-theory realization of quantum discrete de Sitter space-time, classical-quantum gravity duality symmetry and a clarifying unifying picture.(Abridged)Comment: Published version in Phys Rev D, 54 pages, 1 figure, new material. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1912.0665

Effects of the magnetic dipole moment of charged vector mesons in their radiative decay distribution

We consider the effects of anomalous magnetic dipole moments of vector mesons in the decay distribution of photons emitted in two-pseudoscalar decays of charged vector mesons. By choosing a kinematical configuration appropriate to isolate these effects from model-dependent and dominant bremsstrahlung contributions, we show that this method can provide a valid alternative for a measurement of the unknown magnetic dipole moments of charged vector mesons.Comment: Latex, 11 pages incl. 3 .ps figures, to appear in Phys.

Toroidal and Klein bottle boundary slopes

Let M be a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold and T' an incompressible torus boundary component of M such that the pair (M,T') is not cabled. By a result of C. Gordon, if S and T are incompressible punctured tori in M with boundary on T' and boundary slopes at distance d, then d is at most 8, and the cases where d=6,7,8 are very few and classified. We give a simplified proof of this result (or rather, of its reduction process), based on an improved estimate for the maximum possible number of mutually parallel negative edges in the graphs of intersection of S and T. We also extend Gordon's result by allowing either S or T to be an essential Klein bottle. to the case where S or T is a punctured essential Klein bottle.Comment: Preliminary version, updated. We use a new approach that yields a stronger conclusion. 28 pages, 18 figure
