Geometric quantization rules in QCPB theory
Using the QCPB theory, we can accomplish the compatible combination of the
quantum mechanics and general relativity supported by the G-dynamics. We
further study the generalized quantum harmonic oscillator, such as geometric
creation and annihilation operators, especially, the geometric quantization
rules based on the QCPB theory.Comment: 14 page
Emergence of Space and Spacetime Dynamics of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe
In a recent paper [arXiv:1206.4916] by T. Padmanabhan, it was argued that our
universe provides an ideal setup to stress the issue that cosmic space is
emergent as cosmic time progresses and that the expansion of the universe is
due to the difference between the number of degrees of freedom on a holographic
surface and the one in the emerged bulk. In this note following this proposal
we obtain the Friedmann equation of a higher dimensional
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. By properly modifying the volume increase
and the number of degrees of freedom on the holographic surface from the
entropy formulas of black hole in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity and more general
Lovelock gravity, we also get corresponding dynamical equations of the universe
in those gravity theories.Comment: Latex 9 pages without figur
Dynamics and thermodynamics of a probe brane in the multicenter and rotating D3-brane background
We study the dynamics and thermodynamics of a probe D3-brane in the rotating
D3-brane background and in its extremal limit, which is a multicenter
configuration of D3-branes distributed uniformly on a disc. In the extremal
background, if the angular momentum of the probe does not vanish, the probe is
always bounced back at some turning point. When its angular momentum vanishes,
in the disc plane, the probe will be captured at the edge of the disc; in the
hyperplane orthogonal to the disc, the probe will be absorbed at the center of
the disc. In the non-extremal background, if the probe is in the hyperplane
orthogonal to the disc, it will be captured at the horizon; if the probe is
restricted in the disc plane, the probe will be bounced back at a turning
point, which is just the infinite red-shift hyperplane of the rotating
background, even when the angular momentum of the probe vanishes. The
thermodynamics of a relative static D3-brane probe is also investigated to the
rotating D3-brane source. Two critical points are found. One is just the
thermodynamically stable boundary of the source rotating D3-branes; the other
is related to the distance between the probe and the source, which can be
regarded as the mass scale in the corresponding super Yang-Mills theory. If the
probe is static, the second critical point occurs as the probe is at the
infinite red-shift hyperplane of the background. The relevance to the
thermodynamics of the super Yang-Mills theory is discussed briefly.Comment: Revtex, 16 pages, no figures, minor change
Quantum Radion on de Sitter branes
The quantum fluctuation of the relative location of two (n-1)-dimensional de
Sitter branes (i.e., of n spacetime dimensions) embedded in the
(n+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk, which we shall call the quantum radion,
is investigated at the linear perturbation level. The quantization of the
radion is done by deriving the effective action of the radion. Assuming the
positive tension brane is our universe, the effect of the quantum radion is
evaluated by using the effective Einstein equations on the brane in which the
radion contributes to the effective energy momentum tensor at the linear order
of the radion amplitude. Specifically, the rms effective energy density arising
from the quantum radion is compared with the background energy density. It is
found out that this ratio remains small for reasonable values of the parameters
of the model even without introducing a stabilizing mechanism for radion,
although the radion itself has a negative mass squared and is unstable. The
reason behind this phenomenon is also discussed.Comment: 17 pages, no figure
