Non-Associativity in the Clifford Bundle on the Parallelizable Torsion 7-Sphere
In this paper we discuss generalized properties of non-associativity in
Clifford bundles on the 7-sphere S7. Novel and prominent properties inherited
from the non-associative structure of the Clifford bundle on S7 are
demonstrated. They naturally lead to general transformations of the spinor
fields on S7 and have dramatic consequences for the associated Kac-Moody
current algebras. All additional properties concerning the non-associative
structure in the Clifford bundle on S7 are considered. We further discuss and
explore their applications.Comment: 16 page
Dynamical Evolution of an Unstable Gravastar with Zero Mass
Using the conventional gravastar model, that is, an object constituted by two
components where one of them is a massive infinitely thin shell and the other
one is a de Sitter interior spacetime, we physically interpret a solution
characterized by a zero Schwarzschild mass. No stable gravastar is formed and
it collapses without forming an event horizon, originating what we call a
massive non-gravitational object. The most surprise here is that the collapse
occurs with an exterior de Sitter vacuum spacetime. This creates an object
which does not interact gravitationally with an outside test particle and it
may evolve to a point-like topological defect.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures, to appear in Astrophysics and Space Scienc
Dressing a Naked Singularity: an Example
Considering the evolution of a perfect fluid with self-similarity of the
second kind, we have found that an initial naked singularity can be trapped by
an event horizon due to collapsing matter. The fluid moves along time-like
geodesics with a self-similar parameter . Since the metric
obtained is not asymptotically flat, we match the spacetime of the fluid with a
Schwarzschild spacetime. All the energy conditions are fulfilled until the
naked singularity.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure. This version corrects an error in the calculus of
the pressure and in the conclusion
Gravastars and Black Holes of Anisotropic Dark Energy
Dynamical models of prototype gravastars made of anisotropic dark energy are
constructed, in which an infinitely thin spherical shell of a perfect fluid
with the equation of state divides the whole spacetime
into two regions, the internal region filled with a dark energy fluid, and the
external Schwarzschild region. The models represent "bounded excursion" stable
gravastars, where the thin shell is oscillating between two finite radii, while
in other cases they collapse until the formation of black holes. Here we show,
for the first time in the literature, a model of gravastar and formation of
black hole with both interior and thin shell constituted exclusively of dark
energy. Besides, the sign of the parameter of anisotropy () seems to
be relevant to the gravastar formation. The formation is favored when the
tangential pressure is greater than the radial pressure, at least in the
neighborhood of the isotropic case ().Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures. Accepted for publication in Gen. Rel. Gra
Conditional entropy of glueball states
The conditional entropy of glueball states is calculated using a holographic
description. Glueball states are represented by a supergravity dual picture,
consisting of a 5-dimensional graviton-dilaton action of a dynamical
holographic AdS/QCD model. The conditional entropy is studied as a function of
the glueball spin and of the mass, providing information about the stability of
the glueball states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
