    Child universes UV regularization?

    It is argued that high energy density excitations, responsible for UV divergences in quantum field theories, including quantum gravity, are likely to be the source of child universes which carry them out of the original space time. This decoupling prevents these high UV excitations from having any influence on physical amplitudes. Child universe production could therefore be responsible for UV regularization in quantum field theories which takes into account gravitational effects. Also child universe production in the last stages of black hole evaporation, the prediction of absence of tranplanckian primordial perturbations, connection to the minimum length hypothesis and in particular connection to the maximal curvature hypothesis are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, RevTex, discussion to the maximum curvature hypothesis adde

    Study of the spring and autumn daemon-flux maxima at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory

    Detection of daemons in low-background conditions in September 2005 and March 2006 has provided evidence for the expected to occur at that times maxima in the flux of daemons with V ~ 10-15 km s-1, which hit the Earth from near-Earth, almost circular heliocentric orbits. The ability of some FEU-167-1 PM tubes with a thicker inner Al coating to detect directly daemon passage through them has also been demonstrated, an effect increasing ~100-fold the detector efficiency. As a result, the daemon flux recorded at the maxima was increased from ~10-9 to ~10-7 cm-2 s-1. The intensity and direction of the flux during maxima depend on the time of day and latitude of observations (therefore, synchronous measurements in the Northern and Southern Earth's hemispheres are desirable). All the experimental results obtained either support the conclusions following from the daemon paradigm or find a simple interpretation within it.Comment: 15 pages, including 8 figures and 3 table

    Wormholes and Child Universes

    Evidence to the case that classical gravitation provides the clue to make sense out of quantum gravity is presented. The key observation is the existence in classical gravitation of child universe solutions or "almost" solutions, "almost" because of some singularity problems. The difficulties of these child universe solutions due to their generic singularity problems will be very likely be cured by quantum effects, just like for example "almost" instanton solutions are made relevant in gauge theories with breaking of conformal invariance. Some well motivated modifcations of General Relativity where these singularity problems are absent even at the classical level are discussed. High energy density excitations, responsible for UV divergences in quantum field theories, including quantum gravity, are likely to be the source of child universes which carry them out of the original space time. This decoupling could prevent these high UV excitations from having any influence on physical amplitudes. Child universe production could therefore be responsible for UV regularization in quantum field theories which take into account semiclassically gravitational effects. Child universe production in the last stages of black hole evaporation, the prediction of absence of tranplanckian primordial perturbations, connection to the minimum length hypothesis and in particular the connection to the maximal curvature hypothesis are discussed. Some discussion of superexcited states in the case these states are Kaluza Klein excitations is carried out. Finally, the posibility of obtaining "string like" effects from the wormholes associated with the child universes is discussed.Comment: Talk presented at the IWARA 2009 Conference, Maresias, Brazil, October 2009, accepted for publication in the proceedings, World Scientific format, 8 page

    Unitary quantization and para-Fermi statistics of order two

    Get PDF
    A connection between a unitary quantization scheme and para-Fermi statistics of order 2 is considered. An appropriate extension of Green's ansatz is suggested. This extension allows one to transform bilinear and trilinear commutation relations for the annihilation and creation operators of two different para-Fermi fields ϕa\phi_{a} and ϕb\phi_{b} into identity. The way of incorporating para-Grassmann numbers ξk\xi_{k} into a general scheme of uniquantization is also offered. For parastatistics of order 2 a new fact is revealed, namely, the trilinear relations containing both the para-Grassmann variables ξk\xi_{k} and the field operators aka_{k}, bmb_{m} under a certain invertible mapping go over into the unitary equivalent relations, where commutators are replaced by anticommutators and vice versa. It is shown that the consequence of this circumstance is the existence of two alternative definitions of the coherent state for para-Fermi oscillators. The Klein transformation for Green's components of the operators aka_{k}, bmb_{m} is constructed in an explicit form that enables us to reduce the initial commutation rules for the components to the normal commutation relations of ordinary Fermi fields. A nontrivial connection between trilinear commutation relations of the unitary quantization scheme and so-called Lie-supertriple system is analysed. A brief discussion of the possibility of embedding the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory into the unitary quantization scheme is provided.Comment: 44 pages, the version published in J. Exp. Theor. Phy

    A non-singular black hole model as a possible end-product of gravitational collapse

    Get PDF
    In this paper we present a non-singular black hole model as a possible end-product of gravitational collapse. The depicted spacetime which is type [II,(II)], by Petrov classification, is an exact solution of the Einstein equations and contains two horizons. The equation of state in the radial direction, is a well-behaved function of the density and smoothly reproduces vacuum-like behavior near r=0 while tending to a polytrope at larger r, low density, values. The final equilibrium configuration comprises of a de Sitter-like inner core surrounded by a family of 2-surfaces of matter fields with variable equation of state. The fields are all concentrated in the vicinity of the radial center r=0. The solution depicts a spacetime that is asymptotically Schwarzschild at large r, while it becomes de Sitter-like for vanishing r. Possible physical interpretations of the macro-state of the black hole interior in the model are offered. We find that the possible state admits two equally viable interpretations, namely either a quintessential intermediary region or a phase transition in which a two-fluid system is in both dynamic and thermodynamic equilibrium. We estimate the ratio of pure matter present to the total energy and in both (interpretations) cases find it to be virtually the same, being 0.83. Finally, the well-behaved dependence of the density and pressure on the radial coordinate provides some insight on dealing with the information loss paradox.Comment: 12 Pages, 1 figure.

    Different variants of radio and fiber optics detectors for registration of super high energy cascades in the atmosphere and in dense media are discussed. Particularly the possibilities for investigation of quasi horizontal cosmic ray showers (CRS) and simulated muons from these CRS with the help of radio detectors and fiber optics detectors located on the ice surface are considered

    Hamiltonian formalism for Fermi excitations in a plasma with a non-Abelian interaction

    Full text link
    The Hamiltonian theory for the collective longitudinally polarized colorless gluon excitations (plasmons) and for collective quark-antiquark excitations with abnormal relation between chirality and helicity (plasminos) in a high-temperature quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is developed. For this purpose, Zakharov's formalism for constructing the wave theory in nonlinear media with dispersion is used. A generalization of the Poisson superbracket involving both commuting and anticommuting variables to the case of a continuous medium is performed and the corresponding Hamilton equations are presented. The canonical transformations including simultaneously both bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom of the collective excitations in QGP are discussed and a complete system of the canonicity conditions for these transformations is written out. An explicit form of the effective fourth-order Hamiltonians describing the elastic scattering of plasmino off plasmino and plasmino off plasmon is found and the Boltzmann type kinetic equations describing the processes of elastic scattering are obtained. A detailed comparison of the effective amplitudes defined within the (pseudo)classical Hamiltonian theory, with the corresponding matrix elements calculated early in the framework of high-temperature quantum chromodynamics in the so-called hard thermal loop approximation is performed. This enables one to obtain, in particular, an explicit form of the vertex and coefficient functions in the effective amplitudes and in the canonical transformations, correspondingly, and also to define the validity of a purely pseudoclassical approach in the Hamiltonian description of the dynamics of a quark-gluon plasma. The problem of determining the higher-order coefficient functions in the canonical transformations of fermionic and bosonic normal variables is considered.Comment: 69 pages, 2 figures, typos corrected and references adde

    Hamiltonian formalism for Bose excitations in a plasma with a non-Abelian interaction I: plasmon -- hard particle scattering

    Full text link
    The Hamiltonian theory for the collective longitudinally polarized gluon excitations (plasmons) coupling with classical high-energy test color-charged particle propagating through a high-temperature gluon plasma is developed. A generalization of the Lie-Poisson bracket to the case of a continuous medium involving bosonic normal field variable ak ⁣ ⁣aa^{\phantom{\ast}\!\!a}_{\hspace{0.03cm}{\bf k}} and a non-Abelian color charge QaQ^{\hspace{0.03cm}a} is performed and the corresponding Hamilton equations are presented. The canonical transformations including simultaneously both bosonic degrees of freedom of the soft collective excitations and degree of freedom of hard test particle connecting with its color charge in the hot gluon plasma are written out. A complete system of the canonicity conditions for these transformations is derived. The notion of the plasmon number density Nkaa1 ⁣{\mathcal N}^{a\hspace{0.03cm}a^{\prime}_{\phantom{1}}\!}_{{\bf k}}, which is a nontrivial matrix in the color space, is introduced. An explicit form of the effective fourth-order Hamiltonian describing elastic scattering of plasmon off a hard color particle is found and the self-consistent system of Boltzmann type kinetic equations taking into account the time evolution of the mean value of the color charge of the hard particle is obtained. On the basis of these equations, a model problem of interaction of two infinitly narrow wave packets is considered. A system of nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations defining the dynamics of the interaction of the colorless NklN^{l}_{\bf k} and color WklW^{l}_{\bf k} components of the plasmon number density is derived. The problem of determining the third- and fourth-order coefficient functions entering into the canonical transformations of the original bosonic variable ak ⁣ ⁣aa^{\phantom{\ast}\!\!a}_{{\bf k}} and color charge QaQ^{\hspace{0.03cm}a} is discussed.Comment: 57 pages, 5 figure
