Remarks on Renormalization of Black Hole Entropy
We elaborate the renormalization process of entropy of a nonextremal and an
extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole by using the Pauli-Villars
regularization method, in which the regulator fields obey either the
Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac distribution depending on their spin-statistics.
The black hole entropy involves only two renormalization constants. We also
discuss the entropy and temperature of the extremal black hole.Comment: 14 pages, revtex, no figure
Schwinger Pair Production in dS_2 and AdS_2
We study Schwinger pair production in scalar QED from a uniform electric
field in dS_2 with scalar curvature R_{dS} = 2 H^2 and in AdS_2 with R_{AdS} =
- 2 K^2. With suitable boundary conditions, we find that the pair-production
rate is the same analytic function of the scalar curvature in both cases.Comment: RevTex 6 pages, no figure; replaced by the version published in PR
Renormalized Thermodynamic Entropy of Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
We study the ultraviolet divergent structures of the matter (scalar) field in
a higher D-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole and compute the matter
field contribution to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy by using the Pauli-Villars
regularization method. We find that the matter field contribution to the black
hole entropy does not, in general, yield the correct renormalization of the
gravitational coupling constants. In particular we show that the matter field
contribution in odd dimensions does not give the term proportional to the area
of the black hole event horizon.Comment: Final Revision Form as to be published in Physical Review D, ReVTeX,

Generalized entropy and global quantum discord in multiparty quantum systems
Using Tsallis-q entropy, we introduce the generalized concept of global quantum discord, namely the q-global quantum discord, and provide its analytic evaluation for two classes of multiqubit states. We also provide a sufficient condition, for which the pairwise quantum correlations in terms of q-global quantum discord is monogamous in multiparty quantum systemsopen
Quantum Creation of Black Hole by Tunneling in Scalar Field Collapse
Continuously self-similar solution of spherically symmetric gravitational
collapse of a scalar field is studied to investigate quantum mechanical black
hole formation by tunneling in the subcritical case where, classically, the
collapse does not produce a black hole.Comment: t clarification of the quantization method in Sec. IV, version to

Mulsemedia: State of the art, perspectives, and challenges
Mulsemedia-multiple sensorial media-captures a wide variety of research efforts and applications. This article presents a historic perspective on mulsemedia work and reviews current developments in the area. These take place across the traditional multimedia spectrum-from virtual reality applications to computer games-as well as efforts in the arts, gastronomy, and therapy, to mention a few. We also describe standardization efforts, via the MPEG-V standard, and identify future developments and exciting challenges the community needs to overcome
H Emission Nebulosity Associated with KH 15D
An H emission filament is found in close proximity to the unique object
KH 15D using the adaptive optics system of the Subaru Telescope. The morphology
of the filament, the presence of spectroscopic outflow signatures observed by
Hamilton et al., and the detection of extended H emission from KH 15D by
Deming, Charbonneau, & Harrington suggest that this filament arises from
shocked H in an outflow. The filament extends about 15" to the north of KH
15D.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. Astrophysical Journal Letters, in pres
Quantum Entanglement and Teleportation in Higher Dimensional Black Hole Spacetimes
We study the properties of quantum entanglement and teleportation in the
background of stationary and rotating curved space-times with extra dimensions.
We show that a maximally entangled Bell state in an inertial frame becomes less
entangled in curved space due to the well-known Hawking-Unruh effect. The
degree of entanglement is found to be degraded with increasing the extra
dimensions. For a finite black hole surface gravity, the observer may choose
higher frequency mode to keep high level entanglement. The fidelity of quantum
teleporation is also reduced because of the Hawking-Unruh effect. We discuss
the fidelity as a function of extra dimensions, mode frequency, black hole mass
and black hole angular momentum parameter for both bosonic and fermionic
resources.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures,contents expande
