Revisiting Agegraphic Dark Energy in Brans-Dicke Cosmology

We explore a spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe which is filled with agegraphic dark energy (ADE) with mutual interaction with pressureless dark matter in the background of Brans-Dicke (BD) theory. We consider both original and new type of agegraphic dark energy (NADE) and further assume the sign of the interaction term can change during the history of the Universe. We obtain the equation of state parameter, the deceleration parameter and the evolutionary equation for the sign-changeable interacting ADE and NADE in BD theory. We find that, in both models, the equation of state parameter, $w_D$, cannot cross the phantom line, although they can predict the Universe evolution from the early deceleration phase to the late time acceleration, compatible with observations. We also investigate the sound stability of these models and find out that both models cannot show a signal of stability for different model parameters.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figure

Stability of HDE model with sign-changeable interaction in Brans-Dicke theory

We consider the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory of gravity and explore the cosmological implications of the sign-changeable interacting holographic dark energy (HDE) model in the background of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe. As the system's infrared (IR) cutoff, we choose the future event horizon, the Granda-Oliveros (GO) and the Ricci cutoffs. For each cutoff, we obtain the density parameter, the equation of state (EoS) and the deceleration parameter of the system. In case of future event horizon, we find out that the EoS parameter, $w_{D}$, can cross the phantom line, as a result the transition from deceleration to acceleration expansion of the universe can be achieved provided the model parameters are chosen suitably. Then, we investigate the instability of the sign-changeable interacting HDE model against perturbations in BD theory. For this purpose, we study the squared sound speed $v_s^2$ whose sign determines the stability of the model. When $v_s^2<0$ the model is unstable against perturbation. For future event horizon cutoff, our universe can be stable (${v}^{2}_s>0$) depending on the model parameters. Then, we focus on GO and Ricci cutoffs and find out that although other features of these two cutoffs seem to be consistent with observations, they cannot leads to stable dominated universe, except in special case with GO cutoff. Our studies confirm that for the sign-changeable HDE model in the setup of BD cosmology, the event horizon is the most suitable horizon which can passes all conditions and leads to a stable DE dominated universe.Comment: 19pages, 22figure

Thermodynamics of charged rotating dilaton black branes with power-law Maxwell field

In this paper, we construct a new class of charged rotating dilaton black brane solutions, with complete set of rotation parameters, which is coupled to a nonlinear Maxwell field. The Lagrangian of the matter field has the form of the power-law Maxwell field. We study the causal structure of the spacetime and its physical properties in ample details. We also compute thermodynamic and conserved quantities of the spacetime such as the temperature, entropy, mass, charge, and angular momentum. We find a Smarr-formula for the mass and verify the validity of the first law of thermodynamics on the black brane horizon. Finally, we investigate the thermal stability of solutions in both canonical and grand-canonical ensembles and disclose the effects of dilaton field and nonlinearity of Maxwell field on the thermal stability of the solutions. We find that for $\alpha \leq 1$, charged rotating black brane solutions are thermally stable independent of the values of the other parameters. For $\alpha>1$, the solutions can encounter an unstable phase depending on the metric parameters.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figures. We have revised the text to remove the overlap

Holographic Conductivity for Logarithmic Charged Dilaton-Lifshitz Solutions

We disclose the effects of the logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics on the holographic conductivity of Lifshitz dilaton black holes/branes. We analyze thermodynamics of these solutions as a necessary requirement for applying gauge/gravity duality, by calculating conserved and thermodynamic quantities such as the temperature, entropy, electric potential and mass of the black holes/branes. We calculate the holographic conductivity for a $(2+1)$-dimensional brane boundary and study its behavior in terms of the frequency per temperature. Interestingly enough, we find out that, in contrast to the Lifshitz-Maxwell-dilaton black branes which has conductivity for all $z$, here in the presence of nonlinear gauge field, the holographic conductivity do exist provided $z\leq3$ and vanishes for $z>3$. It is shown that independent of the nonlinear parameter $\beta$, the real part of the conductivity is the same for a specific value of frequency per temperature in both AdS and Lifshitz cases. Besides, the behavior of real part of conductivity for large frequencies has a positive slope with respect to large frequencies for a system with Lifshitz symmetry whereas it tends to a constant for a system with AdS symmetry. This behavior may be interpreted as existence of an additional charge carrier rather than the AdS case, and is due to the presence of the scalar dilaton field in model. Similar behavior for optical conductivity of single-layer graphene induced by mild oxygen plasma exposure has been reported.Comment: V1: 12 pages, 5 figures (each one includes 2 subfigres) V2: 13 pages, Some references added, Conductivity calculations improved, Accepted for publication in PL

Holographic conductivity in the massive gravity with power-law Maxwell field

We obtain a new class of topological black hole solutions in $(n+1)$-dimensional massive gravity in the presence of the power-Maxwell electrodynamics. We calculate the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the system and show that the first law of thermodynamics is satisfied on the horizon. Then, we investigate the holographic conductivity for the four and five dimensional black brane solutions. For completeness, we study the holographic conductivity for both massless ($m=0$) and massive ($m \neq 0$) gravities with power-Maxwell field. The massless gravity enjoys translational symmetry whereas the massive gravity violates it. For massless gravity, we observe that the real part of conductivity, $\mathrm{Re}[\sigma]$, decreases as charge $q$ increases when frequency $\omega$ tends to zero, while the imaginary part of conductivity, $\mathrm{Im}[\sigma ]$, diverges as $\omega \rightarrow 0$. For the massive gravity, we find that $\mathrm{Im}[\sigma ]$ is zero at $\omega =0$ and becomes larger as $q$\ increases (temperature decreases), which is in contrast to the massless gravity. Interestingly, we observe that in contrast to the massless case, $\mathrm{Re}[\sigma ]$ has a maximum value at $\omega =0$ (known as the Drude peak) for $p=\left( n+1\right) /4$ (conformally invariant electrodynamics) where $p$ is the power parameter of the power-law Maxwell field and this maximum increases with increasing $q$. Finally, we show that for high frequencies, the real part of the holographic conductivity have the power law behavior in terms of frequency, $\omega ^{a}$ where $a \propto (n+1-4p)$. Some similar behaviors for high frequencies in possible dual CFT systems have been reported in experimental observations.Comment: V2: 15 pages, 5 figures (each one includes \geq 3 subfigures), Some Refs added, Some discussions regarding i) the power-law Maxwell electrodynamics and ii) the relation between our results and experimental observations presented, A suggestion for future extensions give
