    Physical aspects of naked singularity explosion - How does a naked singularity explode? --

    Get PDF
    The behaviors of quantum stress tensor for the scalar field on the classical background of spherical dust collapse is studied. In the previous works diverging flux of quantum radiation was predicted. We use the exact expressions in a 2D model formulated by Barve et al. Our present results show that the back reaction does not become important during the semiclassical phase. The appearance of the naked singularity would not be affected by this quantum field radiation. To predict whether the naked singularity explosion occurs or not we need the theory of quantum gravity. We depict the generation of the diverging flux inside the collapsing star. The quantum energy is gathered around the center positively. This would be converted to the diverging flux along the Cauchy horizon. The ingoing negative flux crosses the Cauchy horizon. The intensity of it is divergent only at the central naked singularity. This diverging negative ingoing flux is balanced with the outgoing positive diverging flux which propagates along the Cauchy horizon. After the replacement of the naked singularity to the practical high density region the instantaneous diverging radiation would change to more milder one with finite duration.Comment: 18 pages, 16 figure

    Naked Singularity Explosion

    Full text link
    It is known that the gravitational collapse of a dust ball results in naked singularity formation from an initial density profile which is physically reasonable. In this paper, we show that explosive radiation is emitted during the formation process of the naked singularity.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for Publication in Phys. Rev.

    MNE R&D internationalization in developing Asia

    Get PDF
    In line with the recent shift of R&D internationalization towards developing Asia, this Perspective paper reviews, contextualises, and evaluates the evolving patterns of creation, transfer, and assimilation of knowledge in multinational enterprises (MNEs). A typology is proposed consisting of four stylized nodes: West (industrialized mature economies), East One (emerging industrializing economies of developing Asia), East Two (Asian economies at an earlier stage of industrialization), and East Three (Asian economies with limited visible signs of industrialization). Within these nodes, this paper applies an institution-based view to discuss their diverse national innovation environment (with particular attention paid to governments, indigenous firms, and institutional conditions), and the network perspective to propose an intra-regional knowledge hierarchy, reflecting dynamic knowledge links

    The structure of non-spacelike geodesics in dust collapse

    Get PDF
    We study here the behaviour of non-spacelike geodesics in dust collapse models in order to understand the casual structure of the spacetime. The geodesic families coming out, when the singularity is naked, corresponding to different initial data are worked out and analyzed. We also bring out the similarity of the limiting behaviour for different types of geodesics in the limit of approach to the singularity.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, to appear in PR

    Physical interpretation of gauge invariant perturbations of spherically symmetric space-times

    Get PDF
    By calculating the Newman-Penrose Weyl tensor components of a perturbed spherically symmetric space-time with respect to invariantly defined classes of null tetrads, we give a physical interpretation, in terms of gravitational radiation, of odd parity gauge invariant metric perturbations. We point out how these gauge invariants may be used in setting boundary and/or initial conditions in perturbation theory.Comment: 6 pages. To appear in PR

    Power, energy, and spectrum of a naked singularity explosion

    Get PDF
    Naked singularity occurs in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust ball from an initial density profile which is physically reasonable. We show that explosive radiation is emitted during the formation process of the naked singularity. The energy flux is proportional to (tCHt)3/2(t_{\rm CH}-t)^{-3/2} for a minimally coupled massless scalar field, while is proportional to (tCHt)1(t_{\rm CH}-t)^{-1} for a conformally coupled massless scalar field, where tCHtt_{\rm CH}-t is the `remained time' until the distant observer could observe the singularity if the naked singularity was formed. As a consequence, the radiated energy grows unboundedly for both scalar fields. The amount of the power and the energy depends on parameters which characterize the initial density profile but do not depend on the gravitational mass of the cloud. In particular, there is characteristic frequency νs\nu_{s} of singularity above which the divergent energy is radiated. The energy flux is dominated by particles of which the wave length is about tCHtt_{\rm CH}-t at each moment. The observed total spectrum is nonthermal, i.e., νdN/dν(ν/νs)1\nu dN/d\nu \sim (\nu/\nu_{s})^{-1} for ν>νs\nu>\nu_{s}. If the naked singularity formation could continue until a considerable fraction of the total energy of the dust cloud is radiated, the radiated energy would reach about 1054(M/M)10^{54}(M/M_{\odot}) erg. The calculations are based on the geometrical optics approximation which turns out to be consistent as a rough order estimate. The analysis does not depend on whether or not the naked singularity occurs in its exact meaning. This phenomenon may provide a new candidate for a source of ultra high energy cosmic rays or a central engine of gamma ray bursts.Comment: 34 pages, 13 postscript figures included, to appear in Phys.

    Boundary Scattering in Ballistic Graphene

    Full text link
    We report magnetotransport measurements in ballistic graphene/hexagonal boron nitride mesoscopic wires where the charge carrier mean free path is comparable to wire width WW. Magnetoresistance curves show characteristic peak structures where the peak field scales with the ratio of cyclotron radius RcR_\textrm{c} and wire width WW as W/Rc=0.9±0.1W/R_\textrm{c} = 0.9 \pm 0.1, due to diffusive boundary scattering. The obtained proportionality constant between RcR_\textrm{c} and WW differs from that of a classical semiconductor 2D electron system where W/Rc=0.55W/R_\textrm{c} = 0.55.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

    Nakedness and curvature strength of shell-focusing singularity in the spherically symmetric space-time with vanishing radial pressure

    Full text link
    It was recently shown that the metric functions which describe a spherically symmetric space-time with vanishing radial pressure can be explicitly integrated. We investigate the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell-focusing singularity in that space-time. If the singularity is naked, the relation between the circumferential radius and the Misner-Sharp mass is given by R2y0mβR\approx 2y_{0} m^{\beta} with 1/3<β1 1/3<\beta\le 1 along the first radial null geodesic from the singularity. The β\beta is closely related to the curvature strength of the naked singularity. For example, for the outgoing or ingoing null geodesic, if the strong curvature condition (SCC) by Tipler holds, then β\beta must be equal to 1. We define the ``gravity dominance condition'' (GDC) for a geodesic. If GDC is satisfied for the null geodesic, both SCC and the limiting focusing condition (LFC) by Kr\'olak hold for β=1\beta=1 and y01y_{0}\ne 1, not SCC but only LFC holds for 1/2β<11/2\le \beta <1, and neither holds for 1/3<β<1/21/3<\beta <1/2, for the null geodesic. On the other hand, if GDC is satisfied for the timelike geodesic r=0r=0, both SCC and LFC are satisfied for the timelike geodesic, irrespective of the value of β\beta. Several examples are also discussed.Comment: 11 pages, Accepted for Publication in Classical and Quantum Gravity, References Updated, Grammatical Errors Correcte

    Thermodynamics of ideal quantum gas with fractional statistics in D dimensions

    Get PDF
    We present exact and explicit results for the thermodynamic properties (isochores, isotherms, isobars, response functions, velocity of sound) of a quantum gas in dimensions D>=1 and with fractional exclusion statistics 0<=g<=1 connecting bosons (g=0) and fermions (g=1). In D=1 the results are equivalent to those of the Calogero-Sutherland model. Emphasis is given to the crossover between boson-like and fermion-like features, caused by aspects of the statistical interaction that mimic long-range attraction and short-range repulsion. The full isochoric heat capacity and the leading low-T term of the isobaric expansivity in D=2 are independent of g. The onset of Bose-Einstein condensation along the isobar occurs at a nonzero transition temperature in all dimensions. The T-dependence of the velocity of sound is in simple relation to isochores and isobars. The effects of soft container walls are accounted for rigorously for the case of a pure power-law potential.Comment: 15 pages, 31 figure
