Curvature Inspired Cosmological Scenario
Using modified gravity with non-linear terms of curvature, and (with being the positive real number and being the scalar
curvature), cosmological scenario,beginning at the Planck scale, is obtained.
Here, a unified picture of cosmology is obtained from gravity. In this
scenario, universe begins with power-law inflation, followed by deceleration
and acceleration in the late universe as well as possible collapse of the
universe in future. It is different from dark energy models with
non-linear curvature terms assumed as dark energy. Here, dark energy terms are
induced by linear as well as non-linear terms of curvature in Friedmann
equation being derived from modified gravity.It is also interesting to see
that, in this model, dark radiation and dark matter terms emerge spontaneously
from the gravitational sector. It is found that dark energy, obtained here,
behaves as quintessence in the early universe and phantom in the late universe.
Moreover, analogous to brane-tension in brane-gravity inspired Friedmann
equation, a tension term arises here being called as cosmic tension.
It is found that, in the late universe, Friedmann equation (obtained here)
contains a term ( being the phantom energy density)
analogous to a similar term in Friedmann equation with loop quantum effects, if
and brane-gravity correction when Comment: 19 Pages. To appear in Int. J. Thro. Phy
Entanglement dynamics following a sudden quench: an exact solution
We present an exact and fully analytical treatment of the entanglement
dynamics for an isolated system of coupled oscillators following a sudden
quench of the system parameters. The system is analyzed using the solutions of
the time dependent Schrodinger's equation, which are obtained by solving the
corresponding nonlinear Ermakov equations. The entanglement entropies exhibit a
multi-oscillatory behaviour, where the number of dynamically generated time
scales increases with . The harmonic chains exhibit entanglement revival and
for larger values of , we find near-critical logarithmic scaling for
the entanglement entropy, which is modulated by a time dependent factor. The
case is equivalent to the two site Bose-Hubbard model in the tunneling
regime, which is amenable to empirical realization in cold atom systems.Comment: Figure for large N added, discussion related with near critical

Assessment of Earthquake Size from Rock Fracture Dimensions of Seismic Source in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Investigations
The paper presents two case histories of rock fractures resulting in strong ground motion. Case I describes the November 27, 1971 rock burst involving 270 m long rupture with displacement of 15 mm in Nundydroog mine in Kolar Gold Field in Karnataka State, India, which resulted in damage to buildings on the surface and underground works in the mine. The event was recorded as an earthquake by seismic stations and the computed magnitude ml = 3.9 of the rockburst compares well with magnitude mb= 4.6 determined from the recorded seismogram. Case II describes April 5, 1976 rock burst in an open cast granite quarry at Shravanbelagola, in Hassan district in Karnataka State, resulting in 60 m long fracture with estimated average displacement of 0.5 mm. The rockburst accompanied with loud noise produced strong ground motion in the area. The magnitude of the rockburst is estimated as ml= 2. The estimated intensity of ground motion in the area match well with the ground motion at the epicentre of an earthquake of similar magnitude. The two studies provide guidelines for assessment of earthquake size and indicates the importance of detection and delineation of tectonic lineaments and determination of ambient seismic activity along lineaments which are capable or have potential for earthquake occurrence

Velocity of sound in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
We have studied the rapidity distribution of secondary hadrons produced in
nucleus-nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energies within the ambit of
the Landau's hydrodynamical model. A reasonable description of the data can
also be obtained by using the Bjorken's hydrodynamical model if the boost
invariance is restricted to a finite rapidity range. The sensitivity of the
hadronic spectra on the equation of state vis- a -vis the velocity of sound has
been discussed. The correlation between the velocity of sound and the
freeze-out temperature has been indicated. The effects of the non-zero widths
of various mesonic and baryonic degrees of freedom up to the mass value ~ 2.5
GeV is seen to be small.Comment: 9 pages and 11 figures. Major changes. To appear in Physical Review
Landau Ghosts and Anti-Ghosts in Condensed Matter and High Density Hadronic Matter
It is observed that the ``ghost'' (originally discovered by Landau in quantum
electro-dynamics) and its counterparts in other theories are indeed ubiquitous
as they occur in a one-loop approximation to any conventional (unbroken) gauge
theory. The mechanism is first exposed in its generality via the Dyson equation
and a simple but explicit example in condensed matter is provided through the
static Clausius-Mossotti and its dynamic counterpart the Lorenz-Lorentz
equation. The physical phase transition phenomenon associated with it is found
to be super-radiance. We verify quantitatively that water (and many other polar
liquids) are indeed super-radiant at room temperature. In quantum
chromo-dynamics on the other hand, we encounter, thanks to asymptotic freedom,
an ``anti-ghost'' which is closely associated with color confinement. Thus, in
QCD, free quarks and glue exist in a super-radiant phase and hadronic matter in
the normal one.Comment: LaTeX 12 Pages and 2 *.eps Figure
