Tensor models and hierarchy of n-ary algebras

Tensor models are generalization of matrix models, and are studied as models of quantum gravity. It is shown that the symmetry of the rank-three tensor models is generated by a hierarchy of n-ary algebras starting from the usual commutator, and the 3-ary algebra symmetry reported in the previous paper is just a single sector of the whole structure. The condition for the Leibnitz rules of the n-ary algebras is discussed from the perspective of the invariance of the underlying algebra under the n-ary transformations. It is shown that the n-ary transformations which keep the underlying algebraic structure invariant form closed finite n-ary Lie subalgebras. It is also shown that, in physical settings, the 3-ary transformation practically generates only local infinitesimal symmetry transformations, and the other more non-local infinitesimal symmetry transformations of the tensor models are generated by higher n-ary transformations.Comment: 13 pages, some references updated and correcte

Uniqueness of canonical tensor model with local time

Canonical formalism of the rank-three tensor model has recently been proposed, in which "local" time is consistently incorporated by a set of first class constraints. By brute-force analysis, this paper shows that there exist only two forms of a Hamiltonian constraint which satisfies the following assumptions: (i) A Hamiltonian constraint has one index. (ii) The kinematical symmetry is given by an orthogonal group. (iii) A consistent first class constraint algebra is formed by a Hamiltonian constraint and the generators of the kinematical symmetry. (iv) A Hamiltonian constraint is invariant under time reversal transformation. (v) A Hamiltonian constraint is an at most cubic polynomial function of canonical variables. (vi) There are no disconnected terms in a constraint algebra. The two forms are the same except for a slight difference in index contractions. The Hamiltonian constraint which was obtained in the previous paper and behaved oddly under time reversal symmetry can actually be transformed to one of them by a canonical change of variables. The two-fold uniqueness is shown up to the potential ambiguity of adding terms which vanish in the limit of pure gravitational physics.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figures. The final result unchanged.

The fluctuation spectra around a Gaussian classical solution of a tensor model and the general relativity

Tensor models can be interpreted as theory of dynamical fuzzy spaces. In this paper, I study numerically the fluctuation spectra around a Gaussian classical solution of a tensor model, which represents a fuzzy flat space in arbitrary dimensions. It is found that the momentum distribution of the low-lying low-momentum spectra is in agreement with that of the metric tensor modulo the general coordinate transformation in the general relativity at least in the dimensions studied numerically, i.e. one to four dimensions. This result suggests that the effective field theory around the solution is described in a similar manner as the general relativity.Comment: 29 pages, 13 figure

Modeling peculiar velocities of dark matter halos

We present a simple model that accurately describes various statistical properties of peculiar velocities of dark matter halos. We pay particular attention to the following two effects; first, the evolution of the halo peculiar velocity depends on the local matter density, instead of the global density. Second, dark matter halos are biased tracers of the underlying mass distribution, thus halos tend to be located preferentially at high density regions. For the former, we develop an empirical model calibrated with N-body simulations, while for the latter, we use a conventional halo bias models based on the extended Press-Schechter model combined with an empirical log-normal probability distribution function of the mass density distribution. We find that compared with linear theory, the present model significantly improves the accuracy of predictions of statistical properties of the halo peculiar velocity field including the velocity dispersion, the probability distribution function, and the pairwise velocity dispersion at large separations. Thus our model predictions may be useful in analyzing future observations of the peculiar velocities of galaxy clusters.Comment: This paper was published in MNRAS, 343, 1312 (2003).

Detection of Excess Hard X-ray Emission from the Group of Galaxies HCG62

From the group of galaxies HCG62, we detected an excess hard X-ray emission in energies above $\sim 4$ keV with \A SCA. The excess emission is spatially extended up to $\sim10'$ from the group center, and somewhat enhanced toward north. Its spectrum can be represented by either a power-law of photon index 0.8-2.7, or a Bremsstrahlung of temperature $>6.3$ keV. In the 2-10 keV range, the observed hard X-ray flux, $(1.0\pm0.3)\times10^{-12}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, implies a luminosity of $(8.0\pm2.0)\times10^{41}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for a Hubble constant of 50 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$. The emission is thus too luminous to be attributed to X-ray binaries in the memb er galaxies. We discuss possible origin of the hard X-ray emission.Comment: 6 pages, 3 Postscript figures, uses emulateapj.sty. Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letter

Cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Calculation for Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates

A rotating bosonic many-body system in a harmonic trap is studied with the 3D-Cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method at zero temperature, which has been applied to nuclear many-body systems at high spin. This method is a variational method extended from the Hartree-Fock theory, which can treat the pairing correlations in a self-consistent manner. An advantage of this method is that a finite-range interaction between constituent particles can be used in the calculation, unlike the original Gross-Pitaevskii approach. To demonstrate the validity of our method, we present a calculation for a toy model, that is, a rotating system of ten bosonic particles interacting through the repulsive quadrupole-quadrupole interaction in a harmonic trap. It is found that the yrast states, the lowest-energy states for the given total angular momentum, does not correspond to the Bose-Einstein condensate, except a few special cases. One of such cases is a vortex state, which appears when the total angular momentum $L$ is twice the particle number $N$ (i.e., $L=2N$).Comment: accepted to Phys. Rev.

The lowest modes around Gaussian solutions of tensor models and the general relativity

In the previous paper, the number distribution of the low-lying spectra around Gaussian solutions representing various dimensional fuzzy tori of a tensor model was numerically shown to be in accordance with the general relativity on tori. In this paper, I perform more detailed numerical analysis of the properties of the modes for two-dimensional fuzzy tori, and obtain conclusive evidences for the agreement. Under a proposed correspondence between the rank-three tensor in tensor models and the metric tensor in the general relativity, conclusive agreement is obtained between the profiles of the low-lying modes in a tensor model and the metric modes transverse to the general coordinate transformation. Moreover, the low-lying modes are shown to be well on a massless trajectory with quartic momentum dependence in the tensor model. This is in agreement with that the lowest momentum dependence of metric fluctuations in the general relativity will come from the R^2-term, since the R-term is topological in two dimensions. These evidences support the idea that the low-lying low-momentum dynamics around the Gaussian solutions of tensor models is described by the general relativity. I also propose a renormalization procedure for tensor models. A classical application of the procedure makes the patterns of the low-lying spectra drastically clearer, and suggests also the existence of massive trajectories.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figures, Added references, minor corrections, a misleading figure replace

A renormalization procedure for tensor models and scalar-tensor theories of gravity

Tensor models are more-index generalizations of the so-called matrix models, and provide models of quantum gravity with the idea that spaces and general relativity are emergent phenomena. In this paper, a renormalization procedure for the tensor models whose dynamical variable is a totally symmetric real three-tensor is discussed. It is proven that configurations with certain Gaussian forms are the attractors of the three-tensor under the renormalization procedure. Since these Gaussian configurations are parameterized by a scalar and a symmetric two-tensor, it is argued that, in general situations, the infrared dynamics of the tensor models should be described by scalar-tensor theories of gravity.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, references added, minor correction

Clustering of dark matter halos on the light-cone: scale-, time- and mass-dependence of the halo biasing in the Hubble volume simulations

We develop a phenomenological model to predict the clustering of dark matter halos on the light-cone by combining several existing theoretical models. Assuming that the velocity field of halos on large scales is approximated by linear theory, we propose an empirical prescription of a scale-, mass-, and time-dependence of halo biasing. We test our model against the Hubble Volume $N$-body simulation and examine its validity and limitations. We find a good agreement in two-point correlation functions of dark matter halos between the phenomenological model predictions and measurements from the simulation for $R>5h^{-1}$Mpc both in the real and redshift spaces. Although calibrated on the mass scale of groups and clusters and for redshifts up to $z\sim2$, the model is quite general and can be applied to a wider range of astrophysical objects, such as galaxies and quasars, if the relation between dark halos and visible objects is specified.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, ApJL accepted.
