Local virial relation and velocity anisotropy for collisionless self-gravitating systems
The collisionless quasi-equilibrium state realized after the cold collapse of
self-gravitating systems has two remarkable characters. One of them is the
linear temperature-mass (TM) relation, which yields a characteristic
non-Gaussian velocity distribution. Another is the local virial (LV) relation,
the virial relation which holds even locally in collisionless systems through
phase mixing such as cold-collapse. A family of polytropes are examined from a
view point of these two characters. The LV relation imposes a strong constraint
on these models: only polytropes with index with a flat boundary
condition at the center are compatible with the numerical results, except for
the outer region. Using the analytic solutions based on the static and
spherical Jeans equation, we show that this incompatibility in the outer region
implies the important effect of anisotropy of velocity dispersion. Furthermore,
the velocity anisotropy is essential in explaining various numerical results
under the condition of the local virial relation.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Proceedings of CN-Kyoto International Workshop on

Classical no-cloning theorem under Liouville dynamics by non-Csisz\'ar f-divergence
The Csisz\'ar f-divergence, which is a class of information distances, is
known to offer a useful tool for analysing the classical counterpart of the
cloning operations that are quantum mechanically impossible for the factorized
and marginality classical probability distributions under Liouville dynamics.
We show that a class of information distances that does not belong to this
divergence class also allows for the formulation of a classical analogue of the
quantum no-cloning theorem. We address a family of nonlinear Liouville-like
equations, and generic distances, to obtain constraints on the corresponding
functional forms, associated with the formulation of classical analogue of the
no-cloning principle.Comment: 6 pages, revised, published versio
Physical interpretation of gauge invariant perturbations of spherically symmetric space-times
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
Onset of inflation in inhomogeneous cosmology
We study how the initial inhomogeneities of the universe affect the onset of
inflation in the closed universe. We consider the model of a chaotic inflation
which is driven by a massive scalar field. In order to construct an
inhomogeneous universe model, we use the long wavelength approximation ( the
gradient expansion method ). We show the condition of the inhomogeneities for
the universe to enter the inflationary phase.Comment: 22 pages including 12 eps figures, RevTe
Inhomogeneous scalar field solutions and inflation
We present new exact cosmological inhomogeneous solutions for gravity coupled
to a scalar field in a general framework specified by the parameter .
The equations of motion (and consequently the solutions) in this framework
correspond either to low-energy string theory or Weyl integrable spacetime
according to the sign of . We show that different inflationary
behaviours are possible, as suggested by the study of the violation of the
strong energy condition. Finally, by the analysis of certain curvature scalars
we found that some of the solutions may be nonsingular.Comment: LaTex file, 14 page
