Interacting non-minimally coupled canonical, phantom and quintom models of holographic dark energy in non-flat universe
Motivated by our recent work \cite{set1}, we generalize this work to the
interacting non-flat case. Therefore in this paper we deal with canonical,
phantom and quintom models, with the various fields being non-minimally coupled
to gravity, within the framework of interacting holographic dark energy. We
employ the holographic model of interacting dark energy to obtain the equation
of state for the holographic energy density in non-flat (closed) universe
enclosed by the event horizon measured from the sphere of horizon named .Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in IJMPD (2010
Reconstructing generalized ghost condensate model with dynamical dark energy parametrizations and observational datasets
Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is
accelerating at the present stage, and we refer to the cause for this cosmic
acceleration as ``dark energy''. In particular, the analysis of current data of
type Ia supernovae (SNIa), cosmic large-scale structure (LSS), and the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropy implies that, with some possibility, the
equation-of-state parameter of dark energy may cross the cosmological-constant
boundary () during the recent evolution stage. The model of ``quintom''
has been proposed to describe this crossing behavior for dark energy. As
a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost
condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the
quintom-like behavior. In this paper, we reconstruct the generalized ghost
condensate model in the light of three forms of parametrization for dynamical
dark energy, with the best-fit results of up-to-date observational data.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures; references added; accepted for publication in

Renormalization group approach to vibrational energy transfer in protein
Renormalization group method is applied to the study of vibrational energy
transfer in protein molecule. An effective Lagrangian and associated equations
of motion to describe the resonant energy transfer are analyzed in terms of the
first-order perturbative renormalization group theory that has been developed
as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. After the elimination of
singular terms associated with the Fermi resonance, amplitude equations to
describe the slow dynamics of vibrational energy transfer are derived, which
recover the result obtained by a technique developed in nonlinear optics [S.J.
Lade, Y.S. Kivshar, Phys. Lett. A 372 (2008) 1077].Comment: 11 page
Two-subband electron transport in nonideal quantum wells
Electron transport in nonideal quantum wells (QW) with large-scale variations
of energy levels is studied when two subbands are occupied. Although the mean
fluctuations of these two levels are screened by the in-plane redistribution of
electrons, the energies of both levels remain nonuniform over the plane. The
effect of random inhomogeneities on the classical transport is studied within
the framework of a local response approach for weak disorder. Both short-range
and small-angle scattering mechanisms are considered. Magnetotransport
characteristics and the modulation of the effective conductivity by transverse
voltage are evaluated for different kinds of confinement potentials (hard wall
QW, parabolic QW, and stepped QW).Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Statefinder diagnosis in a non-flat universe and the holographic model of dark energy
In this paper, we study the holographic dark energy model in non-flat
universe from the statefinder viewpoint. We plot the evolutionary trajectories
of the holographic dark energy model for different values of the parameter
as well as for different contributions of spatial curvature, in the statefinder
parameter-planes. The statefinder diagrams characterize the properties of the
holographic dark energy and show the discrimination between this scenario and
other dark energy models. As we show, the contributions of the spatial
curvature in the model can be diagnosed out explicitly by the statefinder
diagrams. Furthermore, we also investigate the holographic dark energy model in
the plane, which can provide us with a useful dynamical diagnosis
complement to the statefinder geometrical diagnosis.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures; final versio
Coupled Quintessence and Phantom Based On a Dilaton
Based on dilatonic dark energy model, we consider two cases: dilaton field
with positive kinetic energy(coupled quintessence) and with negative kinetic
energy(phantom). In the two cases, we investigate the existence of attractor
solutions which correspond to an equation of state parameter and a
cosmic density parameter . We find that the coupled term
between matter and dilaton can't affect the existence of attractor solutions.
In the Mexican hat potential, the attractor behaviors, the evolution of state
parameter and cosmic density parameter , are shown
mathematically. Finally, we show the effect of coupling term on the evolution
of and with
respect to numerically.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, some references and Journal-ref adde
Reconstructing quintom from WMAP 5-year observations: Generalized ghost condensate
In the 5-year WMAP data analysis, a new parametrization form for dark energy
equation-of-state was used, and it has been shown that the equation-of-state,
, crosses the cosmological-constant boundary . Based on this
observation, in this paper, we investigate the reconstruction of quintom dark
energy model. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the
generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for
realizing the quintom-like behavior. Therefore, we reconstruct this
scalar-field quintom dark energy model from the WMAP 5-year observational
results. As a comparison, we also discuss the quintom reconstruction based on
other specific dark energy ansatzs, such as the CPL parametrization and the
holographic dark energy scenarios.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure
A Note on Temperature and Energy of 4-dimensional Black Holes from Entropic Force
We investigate the temperature and energy on holographic screens for
4-dimensional black holes with the entropic force idea proposed by Verlinde. We
find that the "Unruh-Verlinde temperature" is equal to the Hawking temperature
on the horizon and can be considered as a generalized Hawking temperature on
the holographic screen outside the horizons. The energy on the holographic
screen is not the black hole mass but the reduced mass , which is
related to the black hole parameters. With the replacement of the black hole
mass by the reduced mass , the entropic force can be written as
, which could be tested by experiments.Comment: V4: 13 pages, 4 figures, title changed, discussions for experiments

Dilatonic ghost condensate as dark energy
We explore a dark energy model with a ghost scalar field in the context of
the runaway dilaton scenario in low-energy effective string theory. We address
the problem of vacuum stability by implementing higher-order derivative terms
and show that a cosmologically viable model of ``phantomized'' dark energy can
be constructed without violating the stability of quantum fluctuations. We also
analytically derive the condition under which cosmological scaling solutions
exist starting from a general Lagrangian including the phantom type scalar
field. We apply this method to the case where the dilaton is coupled to
non-relativistic dark matter and find that the system tends to become quantum
mechanically unstable when a constant coupling is always present. Nevertheless,
it is possible to obtain a viable cosmological solution in which the energy
density of the dilaton eventually approaches the present value of dark energy
provided that the coupling rapidly grows during the transition to the scalar
field dominated era.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figure
