Electron-positron, parton-parton and photon-photon production of -lepton pairs: anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments spin effects
Anomalous contributions to the electric and magnetic dipole moments of the
lepton from new physics scenarios have brought renewed interest in the
development of new charge-parity violating signatures in pair production
at Belle II energies, and also at higher energies of the Large Hadron Collider
and the Future Circular Collider. In this paper, we discuss the effects of spin
correlations, including transverse degrees of freedom, in the pair
production and decay. These studies include calculating analytical formulas,
obtaining numerical results, and building semi-realistic observables sensitive
to the transverse spin correlations induced by the dipole moments of the
lepton.
The effects of such anomalous contributions to the dipole moments are
introduced on top of precision simulations of ,
and processes,
involving multi-body final states. Respective extensions of the Standard Model
amplitudes and the reweighting algorithms are implemented into the {\tt KKMC}
Monte Carlo, which is used to simulate pair production in
collisions, and the {\tt TauSpinner} program, which is used to reweight events
with pair produced in collisions.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figure
Noncommutative Geometry Inspired Rotating Black Hole in Three Dimensions
We find a new rotating black hole in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space
using an anisotropic perfect fluid inspired by the noncommutative black hole.
We deduce the thermodynamical quantities of this black hole and compare them
with those of a rotating BTZ solution.Comment: 7 page
Perfect Fluid Quantum Anisotropic Universe: Merits and Challenges
The present paper deals with quantization of perfect fluid anisotropic
cosmological models. Bianchi type V and IX models are discussed following
Schutz's method of expressing fluid velocities in terms of six potentials. The
wave functions are found for several examples of equations of state. In one
case a complete wave packet could be formed analytically. The initial
singularity of a zero proper volume can be avoided in this case, but it is
plagued by the usual problem of non-unitarity of anisotropic quantum
cosmological models. It is seen that a particular operator ordering alleviates
this problem.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures; Accepted for publication in Gen Relativ Gravi
Gauge symmetry and W-algebra in higher derivative systems
The problem of gauge symmetry in higher derivative Lagrangian systems is
discussed from a Hamiltonian point of view. The number of independent gauge
parameters is shown to be in general {\it{less}} than the number of independent
primary first class constraints, thereby distinguishing it from conventional
first order systems. Different models have been considered as illustrative
examples. In particular we show a direct connection between the gauge symmetry
and the W-algebra for the rigid relativistic particle.Comment: 1+22 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX, v2; title changed, considerably expanded

Back reaction, covariant anomaly and effective action
In the presence of back reaction, we first produce the one-loop corrections
for the event horizon and Hawking temperature of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black
hole. Then, based on the covariant anomaly cancelation method and the effective
action technique, the modified expressions for the fluxes of gauge current and
energy momentum tensor, due to the effect of back reaction, are obtained. The
results are consistent with the Hawking fluxes of a (1+1)-dimensional blackbody
at the temperature with quantum corrections, thus confirming the robustness of
the covariant anomaly cancelation method and the effective action technique for
black holes with back reaction.Comment: 17 page
Back reaction, emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy
Recently, an interesting work, which reformulates the tunneling framework to
directly produce the Hawking emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy in the
tunneling picture, has been received a broad attention. However, during the
emission process, most related observations have not incorporated the effects
of back reaction on the background spacetime, whose derivations are therefore
not the desiring results for the real physical process. With this point as a
central motivation, in this paper we suitably adapt the \emph{reformulated}
tunneling framework so that it can well accommodate the effects of back
reaction to produce the Hawking emission spectrum and entropy spectroscopy.
Consequently, we interestingly find that, when back reaction is considered, the
Parikh-Wilczek's outstanding observations that, an isolated radiating black
hole has an unitary-evolving emission spectrum that is \emph{not} precisely
thermal, but is related to the change of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, can
also be reproduced in the reformulated tunneling framework, meanwhile the
entropy spectrum has the same form as that without inclusion of back reaction,
which demonstrates the entropy quantum is \emph{independent} of the effects of
back reaction. As our final analysis, we concentrate on the issues of the black
hole information, but \emph{unfortunately} find that, even including the
effects of back reaction and higher-order quantum corrections, such tunneling
formalism can still not provide a mechanism for preserving the black hole
information.Comment: 16 pages, no figure, use JHEP3.cls. to be published in JHE
Quantum corrections and black hole spectroscopy
In the work \cite{BRM,RBE}, black hole spectroscopy has been successfully
reproduced in the tunneling picture. As a result, the derived entropy spectrum
of black hole in different gravity (including Einstein's gravity,
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity) are all evenly
spaced, sharing the same forms as , where physical process is only
confined in the semiclassical framework. However, the real physical picture
should go beyond the semiclassical approximation. In this case, the physical
quantities would undergo higher-order quantum corrections, whose effect on
different gravity shares in different forms. Motivated by these facts, in this
paper we aim to observe how quantum corrections affect black hole spectroscopy
in different gravity. The result shows that, in the presence of higher-order
quantum corrections, black hole spectroscopy in different gravity still shares
the same form as , further confirming the entropy quantum is universal
in the sense that it is not only independent of black hole parameters, but also
independent of higher-order quantum corrections. This is a desiring result for
the forthcoming quantum gravity theory.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, use JHEP3.cls. to be published in JHE
Thermodynamic analysis of black hole solutions in gravitating nonlinear electrodynamics
We perform a general study of the thermodynamic properties of static
electrically charged black hole solutions of nonlinear electrodynamics
minimally coupled to gravitation in three space dimensions. The Lagrangian
densities governing the dynamics of these models in flat space are defined as
arbitrary functions of the gauge field invariants, constrained by some
requirements for physical admissibility. The exhaustive classification of these
theories in flat space, in terms of the behaviour of the Lagrangian densities
in vacuum and on the boundary of their domain of definition, defines twelve
families of admissible models. When these models are coupled to gravity, the
flat space classification leads to a complete characterization of the
associated sets of gravitating electrostatic spherically symmetric solutions by
their central and asymptotic behaviours. We focus on nine of these families,
which support asymptotically Schwarzschild-like black hole configurations, for
which the thermodynamic analysis is possible and pertinent. In this way, the
thermodynamic laws are extended to the sets of black hole solutions of these
families, for which the generic behaviours of the relevant state variables are
classified and thoroughly analyzed in terms of the aforementioned boundary
properties of the Lagrangians. Moreover, we find universal scaling laws (which
hold and are the same for all the black hole solutions of models belonging to
any of the nine families) running the thermodynamic variables with the electric
charge and the horizon radius. These scale transformations form a one-parameter
multiplicative group, leading to universal "renormalization group"-like
first-order differential equations. The beams of characteristics of these
equations generate the full set of black hole states associated to any of these
gravitating nonlinear electrodynamics...Comment: 51 single column pages, 19 postscript figures, 2 tables, GRG tex

Stringy effects in black hole decay
We compute the low energy decay rates of near-extremal three(four) charge
black holes in five(four) dimensional N=4 string theory to sub-leading order in
the large charge approximation. This involves studying stringy corrections to
scattering amplitudes of a scalar field off a black hole. We adapt and use
recently developed techniques to compute such amplitudes as near-horizon
quantities. We then compare this with the corresponding calculation in the
microscopic configuration carrying the same charges as the black hole. We find
perfect agreement between the microscopic and macroscopic calculations; in the
cases we study, the zero energy limit of the scattering cross section is equal
to four times the Wald entropy of the black hole.Comment: 32 page
On Charged Lifshitz Black Holes
We obtain exact solutions of charged asymptotically Lifshitz black holes in
arbitrary (d+2) dimensions, generalizing the four dimensional solution
investigated in 0908.2611[hep-th]. We find that both the conventional
Hamiltonian approach and the recently proposed method for defining mass in
non-relativistic backgrounds do not work for this specific example. Thus the
mass of the black hole can only be determined by the first law of
thermodynamics. We also obtain perturbative solutions in five-dimensional
Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The ratio of shear viscosity over entropy density and the
DC conductivity are calculated in the presence of Gauss-Bonnet corrections.Comment: 24 pages, no figures, to appear in JHE
