    Annihilation operators for exponential spaces in subdivision

    Get PDF
    none3siWe investigate properties of differential and difference operators annihilating certain finite-dimensional spaces of exponential functions in two variables that are connected to the representation of real-valued trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. Although exponential functions appear in a variety of contexts, the motivation behind this technical note comes from considering subdivision schemes where annihilation operators play an important role. Indeed, subdivision schemes with the capability of preserving exponential functions can be used to obtain an exact description of surfaces parametrized in terms of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, and annihilation operators are useful to automatically detect the frequencies of such functions.mixedConti C.; Lopez-Urena S.; Romani L.Conti C.; Lopez-Urena S.; Romani L

    Non-minimally coupled scalar field cosmology on the phase plane

    Full text link
    In this publication we investigate dynamics of a flat FRW cosmological model with a non-minimally coupled scalar field with the coupling term ξRψ2\xi R \psi^{2} in the scalar field action. The quadratic potential function V(ψ)ψ2V(\psi)\propto \psi^{2} is assumed. All the evolutional paths are visualized and classified in the phase plane, at which the parameter of non-minimal coupling ξ\xi plays the role of a control parameter. The fragility of global dynamics with respect to changes of the coupling constant is studied in details. We find that the future big rip singularity appearing in the phantom scalar field cosmological models can be avoided due to non-minimal coupling constant effects. We have shown the existence of a finite scale factor singular point (future or past) where the Hubble function as well as its first cosmological time derivative diverges.Comment: revtex4, 20 pages, 12 figs; (v2) title changed, analysis of critical points at infinity added, accepted to JCA

    Scalar field cosmology in the energy phase-space -- unified description of dynamics

    Full text link
    In this letter we apply dynamical system methods to study all evolutional paths admissible for all initial conditions of the FRW cosmological model with a non-minimally coupled to gravity scalar field and a barotropic fluid. We choose "energy variables" as phase variables. We reduce dynamics to a 3-dimensional dynamical system for an arbitrary potential of the scalar field in the phase space variables. After postulating the potential parameter Γ\Gamma as a function of λ\lambda (defined as V/V-V'/V) we reduce whole dynamics to a 3-dimensional dynamical system and study evolutional paths leading to current accelerating expansion. If we restrict the form of the potential then we will obtain a 2-dimensional dynamical system. We use the dynamical system approach to find a new generic quintessence scenario of approaching to the de Sitter attractor which appears only for the case of non-vanishing coupling constant.Comment: revtex4, 16 pages, 3 figs; (v2) refs. added, published versio

    Phantom scalar emission in the Kerr black hole spacetime

    Full text link
    We study the absorption probability and Hawking radiation spectra of a phantom scalar field in the Kerr black hole spacetime. We find that the presence of the negative kinetic energy terms modifies the standard results in the greybody factor, super-radiance and Hawking radiation. Comparing with the usual scalar particle, the phantom scalar emission is enhanced in the black hole spacetime.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, a revised version accepted for publication in CQ

    Scalar field exact solutions for non-flat FLRW cosmology: A technique from non-linear Schr\"odinger-type formulation

    Full text link
    We report a method of solving for canonical scalar field exact solution in a non-flat FLRW universe with barotropic fluid using non-linear Schr\"{o}dinger (NLS)-type formulation in comparison to the method in the standard Friedmann framework. We consider phantom and non-phantom scalar field cases with exponential and power-law accelerating expansion. Analysis on effective equation of state to both cases of expansion is also performed. We speculate and comment on some advantage and disadvantage of using the NLS formulation in solving for the exact solution.Comment: 12 pages, GERG format, Reference added. accepted by Gen.

    Solution generating in scalar-tensor theories with a massless scalar field and stiff perfect fluid as a source

    Get PDF
    We present a method for generating solutions in some scalar-tensor theories with a minimally coupled massless scalar field or irrotational stiff perfect fluid as a source. The method is based on the group of symmetries of the dilaton-matter sector in the Einstein frame. In the case of Barker's theory the dilaton-matter sector possesses SU(2) group of symmetries. In the case of Brans-Dicke and the theory with "conformal coupling", the dilaton- matter sector has SL(2,R)SL(2,R) as a group of symmetries. We describe an explicit algorithm for generating exact scalar-tensor solutions from solutions of Einstein-minimally-coupled-scalar-field equations by employing the nonlinear action of the symmetry group of the dilaton-matter sector. In the general case, when the Einstein frame dilaton-matter sector may not possess nontrivial symmetries we also present a solution generating technique which allows us to construct exact scalar-tensor solutions starting with the solutions of Einstein-minimally-coupled-scalar-field equations. As an illustration of the general techniques, examples of explicit exact solutions are constructed. In particular, we construct inhomogeneous cosmological scalar-tensor solutions whose curvature invariants are everywhere regular in space-time. A generalization of the method for scalar-tensor-Maxwell gravity is outlined.Comment: 10 pages,Revtex; v2 extended version, new parts added and some parts rewritten, results presented more concisely, some simple examples of homogeneous solutions replaced with new regular inhomogeneous solutions, typos corrected, references and acknowledgements added, accepted for publication in Phys.Rev.

    Vector field and rotational curves in dark galactic halos

    Full text link
    We study equations of a non-gauge vector field in a spherically symmetric static metric. The constant vector field with a scale arrangement of components: the time component about the Planck mass m_{Pl} and the radial component about M suppressed with respect to the Planck mass, serves as a source of metric reproducing flat rotation curves in dark halos of spiral galaxies, so that the velocity of rotation v_0 is determined by the hierarchy of scales: \sqrt{2} v_0^2= M/m_{Pl}, and M\sim 10^{12} GeV. A natural estimate of Milgrom's acceleration about the Hubble rate is obtained.Comment: 17 pages, iopart style, misprint remove

    Expanding Universe: Thermodynamical Aspects From Different Models

    Full text link
    The pivotal point of the paper is to discuss the behavior of temperature, pressure, energy density as a function of volume along with determination of caloric EoS from following two model: w(z)=w0+w1ln(1+z)w(z)=w_{0}+w_{1}\ln(1+z) & w(z)=1+(1+z)3A1+2A2(1+z)A0+2A1(1+z)+A2(1+z)2 w(z)=-1+\frac{(1+z)}{3}\frac{A_{1}+2A_{2}(1+z)}{A_{0}+2A_{1}(1+z)+A_{2}(1+z)^{2}}. The time scale of instability for this two models is discussed. In the paper we then generalize our result and arrive at general expression for energy density irrespective of the model. The thermodynamical stability for both of the model and the general case is discussed from this viewpoint. We also arrive at a condition on the limiting behavior of thermodynamic parameter to validate the third law of thermodynamics and interpret the general mathematical expression of integration constant U0U_{0} (what we get while integrating energy conservation equation) physically relating it to number of micro states. The constraint on the allowed values of the parameters of the models is discussed which ascertains stability of universe. The validity of thermodynamical laws within apparent and event horizon is discussed.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures(Accepted for publication in "Astrophysics and Space Science"

    Dynamical evolution of phantom scalar perturbation in the background of Schwarzschild black String spacetime

    Full text link
    Using Leaver's continue fraction and time domain method, we study the wave dynamics of phantom scalar perturbation in a Schwarzschild black string spacetime. We find that the quasinormal modes contain the imprint from the wavenumber kk of the fifth dimension. The late-time behaviors are dominated by the difference between the wavenumber kk and the mass μ\mu of the phantom scalar perturbation. For k<μk<\mu, the phantom scalar perturbation in the late-time evolution grows with an exponential rate as in the four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. While, for k=μk=\mu, the late-time behavior has the same form as that of the massless scalar field perturbation in the background of a black hole. Furthermore, for k>μk>\mu, the late-time evolution of phantom scalar perturbation is dominated by a decaying tail with an oscillation which is consistent with that of the usual massive scalar field. Thus, the Schwarzschild black string is unstable only against the phantom scalar perturbations which satisfy the wavelength λ>2π/μ\lambda>2\pi/\mu. These information can help us know more about the wave dynamics of phantom scalar perturbation and the properties of black string.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by JHEP for publicatio

    The Schro¨\ddot{o}dinger-Poisson equations as the large-N limit of the Newtonian N-body system: applications to the large scale dark matter dynamics

    Get PDF
    In this paper it is argued how the dynamics of the classical Newtonian N-body system can be described in terms of the Schro¨\ddot{o}dinger-Poisson equations in the large NN limit. This result is based on the stochastic quantization introduced by Nelson, and on the Calogero conjecture. According to the Calogero conjecture, the emerging effective Planck constant is computed in terms of the parameters of the N-body system as M5/3G1/2(N/)1/6\hbar \sim M^{5/3} G^{1/2} (N/)^{1/6}, where is GG the gravitational constant, NN and MM are the number and the mass of the bodies, and is their average density. The relevance of this result in the context of large scale structure formation is discussed. In particular, this finding gives a further argument in support of the validity of the Schro¨\ddot{o}dinger method as numerical double of the N-body simulations of dark matter dynamics at large cosmological scales.Comment: Accepted for publication in the Euro.
