Quasi-Topological Ricci Polynomial Gravities
Quasi-topological terms in gravity can be viewed as those that give no
contribution to the equations of motion for a special subclass of metric
ans\"atze. They therefore play no r\^ole in constructing these solutions, but
can affect the general perturbations. We consider Einstein gravity extended
with Ricci tensor polynomial invariants, which admits Einstein metrics with
appropriate effective cosmological constants as its vacuum solutions. We
construct three types of quasi-topological gravities. The first type is for the
most general static metrics with spherical, toroidal or hyperbolic isometries.
The second type is for the special static metrics where is
constant. The third type is the linearized quasi-topological gravities on the
Einstein metrics. We construct and classify results that are either dependent
on or independent of dimensions, up to the tenth order. We then consider a
subset of these three types and obtain Lovelock-like quasi-topological
gravities, that are independent of the dimensions. The linearized gravities on
Einstein metrics on all dimensions are simply Einstein and hence ghost free.
The theories become quasi-topological on static metrics in one specific
dimension, but non-trivial in others. We also focus on the quasi-topological
Ricci cubic invariant in four dimensions as a specific example to study its
effect on holography, including shear viscosity, thermoelectric DC
conductivities and butterfly velocity. In particular, we find that the
holographic diffusivity bounds can be violated by the quasi-topological terms,
which can induce an extra massive mode that yields a butterfly velocity unbound
above.Comment: Latex, 56 pages, discussion on shear viscosity revise
Probing and Interaction at LHC
Many new physics models predict the existence of TeV-scale charged gauge
boson together with Higgs boson(s). We study the
interaction and explore the angular distribution of charged lepton to
distinguish from in process at the LHC. It is found that a new type forward-backward
asymmetry() relating to the angle between the direction of the charged
lepton in rest frame and that of the reconstructed in laboratory
frame is useful to investigate the properties of interaction. We
analyze the Standard Model backgrounds and develop a set of cuts to highlight
the signal and suppress the backgrounds at LHC. We find that can reach
0.03(-0.07) for () production at TeV
Microscopic and self-consistent description for neutron halo in deformed nuclei
A deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum has been
developed for the study of neutron halos in deformed nuclei and the halo
phenomenon in deformed weakly bound nuclei is investigated. Magnesium and neon
isotopes are studied and some results are presented for the deformed
neutron-rich and weakly bound nuclei 44Mg and 36Ne. The core of the former
nucleus is prolate, but the halo has a slightly oblate shape. This indicates a
decoupling of the halo orbitals from the deformation of the core. The generic
conditions for the existence of halos in deformed nuclei and for the occurrence
of this decoupling effect are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures; invited talk at the XXXV Brazilian Workshop on

Halos in a deformed Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum
In this contribution we present some recent results about neutron halos in
deformed nuclei. A deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum
has been developed and the halo phenomenon in deformed weakly bound nuclei is
investigated. These weakly bound quantum systems present interesting examples
for the study of the interdependence between the deformation of the core and
the particles in the halo. Magnesium and neon isotopes are studied and detailed
results are presented for the deformed neutron-rich and weakly bound nuclei
42Mg. The core of this nucleus is prolate, but the halo has a slightly oblate
shape. This indicates a decoupling of the halo orbitals from the deformation of
the core. The generic conditions for the existence of halos in deformed nuclei
and for the occurrence of this decoupling effect are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; invited talk at the 2nd Int. Conf. on Nuclear

The Photometric Investigation of V921 Her using the Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope of Chang'e-3 mission
The light curve of V921 Her in ultraviolet band observed by the Lunar-based
Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) is analyzed by the Wilson-Devinney code. Our
solutions conclude that V921 Her is an early type marginal contact binary
system with an additional close-in component. The binary system is under poor
thermal contact with a temperature difference of nearly between the two
components. The close-in component contributes about of the total
luminosity in the triple system. Combining the radial velocity study together
with our photometric solutions, the mass of the primary star and secondary one
are calculated to be , . The evolutionary scenario of V921 Her is discussed.
All times of light minimum of V921 Her available in the bibliography are taken
into account and the curve is analyzed for the first time. The most
probable fitting results are discussed in the paper, which also confirm the
existence of a third component ( year) around the binary system. The
period of V921 Her is also undergoing a continuously rapid increase at a rate
of , which may due to mass
transfer from the less massive component to the more massive one
