Short distance modification of the quantum virial theorem
In this letter, we will analyse the deformation of a semi-classical
gravitational system from minimal measurable length scale. In the
semi-classical approximation, the gravitational field will be analysed as a
classical field, and the matter fields will be treated quantum mechanically.
Thus, using this approximation, this system will be represented by a
deformation of Schr\"odinger-Newton equation by the generalised uncertainty
principle (GUP). We will analyse the effects of this GUP deformed
Schr\"odinger-Newton equation on the behaviour of such a semi-classical
gravitational system. As the quantum mechanical virial theorem can be obtained
using the Schr\"odinger-Newton equation, a short distance modification of the
Schr\"odinger-Newton equation will also result in a short distance modification
of the quantum mechanical virial theorem.Comment: 16 page
Bounds on Slow Roll at the Boundary of the Landscape
We present strong evidence that the tree level slow roll bounds of
arXiv:1807.05193 and arXiv:1810.05506 are valid, even when the tachyon has
overlap with the volume of the cycle wrapped by the orientifold. This extends
our previous results in the volume-dilaton subspace to a semi-universal
modulus. Emboldened by this and other observations, we investigate what it
means to have a bound on (generalized) slow roll in a multi-field landscape. We
argue that for point in an -dimensional field space with
, there exists a path of monotonically decreasing potential
energy to a point within a path length , such
that . The
previous de Sitter swampland bounds are specific ways to realize this stringent
non-local constraint on field space, but we show that it also incorporates (for
example) the scenario where both slow roll parameters are intermediate-valued
and the Universe undergoes a small number of e-folds, as in the Type IIA set up
of arXiv:1310.8300. Our observations are in the context of tree level
constructions, so we take the conservative viewpoint that it is a
characterization of the classical "boundary" of the string landscape. To
emphasize this, we argue that these bounds can be viewed as a type of
Dine-Seiberg statement.Comment: v4: one more referenc
Short Distance Modification of a Gravitational System and its Optical Analog
Motivated by developments in string theory, such as T-duality, it has been
proposed that the geometry of spacetime should have an intrinsic minimal length
associated with it. This would modify the short distance behavior of quantum
systems studied on such a geometry, and an optical analog for such a short
distance modification of quantum system has also been realized by using
non-paraxial nonlinear optics. As general relativity can be viewed as an
effective field theory obtained from string, it is expected that this would
also modify the short distance behavior of general relativity. Now the
Newtonian approximation is a valid short distance approximation to general
relativity, and Schrodinger-Newton equation can be obtained as a
non-relativistic semi-classical limit of such a theory, we will analyze the
short distance modification of Schrodinger-Newton equation from an intrinsic
minimal length in the geometry of spacetime. As an optical analog of the
Schrodinger-Newton equation has been constructed, it is possible to optically
realize this system. So, this system is important, and we will numerical
analyze the solutions for this system. It will be observed that the usual
Runge-Kutta method cannot be used to analyze this system. However, we will use
a propose and use a new numerical method, which we will call as the two step
Runge-Kutta method, for analyzing this system.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
Quantum Fluctuations of a BTZ Black Hole in Massive Gravity
In this work, we shall analyze the effects of quantum fluctuations on the
properties of a BTZ black hole, in a massive theory of gravity. We will analyze
this for a charged BTZ black hole in asymptotically AdS and dS space-times. The
quantum fluctuations would produce thermal fluctuations in the thermodynamics
of this BTZ black hole. As these fluctuations would become relevant at a
sufficiently small scale, we shall discuss the effects of such thermal
fluctuations on the entropy of a small charged BTZ black. We shall also analyze
the effects of these fluctuations on the stability of such a black hole.Comment: Accepted for publication in PL
Modelling of a compact anisotropic star as an anisotropic fluid sphere in gravity
In this paper, we have studied the new exact model of anisotropic star in
theory of gravity. The dynamical equations in theory with the
anisotropic fluid have been solved by using Krori-Barua solution. We have
determined that all the obtained solutions are free from central singularity
and potentially stable. The observed values of mass and radius of the different
strange stars RX J 1856-37, Her X-1, and Vela X-12 have been used to calculate
the values of unknown constants in Krori and Barua metric. The physical
parameters like anisotropy, stability and redshift of the stars have been
investigated in detail.Comment: Accepted in the Canadian Journal of Physic
Non-Local Deformation of a Supersymmetric Field Theory
In this paper, we will analyse a supersymmetric field theory deformed by
generalized uncertainty principle and Lifshitz scaling. It will be observed
that this deformed supersymmetric field theory contains non-local fractional
derivative terms. In order to construct such deformed N=1 supersymmetric
theory, a harmonic extension of functions will be used. However, the
supersymmetry will be only preserved for a free theory and will be broken by
the inclusion of interaction terms.Comment: 12 pages, pulished versio
Variability of the Conductance Changes Associated with the Change in the Spin State in Molecular Spin Crossover Complexes
Here, we examine the conductance changes associated with the change in spin state in a variety of different structures, using the example of the spin crossover complex [Fe(H2B(pz)2)2(bipy)] (pz = (pyrazol-1-yl)-borate and bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)] (Htrz = 1H-1,2,4-triazole) thin films. This conductance change is highly variable depending on the mechanism driving the change in spin state, the substrate, and the device geometry. Simply stated, the choice of spin crossover complex used to build a device is not the only factor in determining the change in conductance with the change in spin state
The most general form of deformation of the Heisenberg algebra from the generalized uncertainty principle
In this paper, we will propose the most general form of the deformation of Heisenberg algebra motivated by the generalized uncertainty principle. This deformation of the Heisenberg algebra will deform all quantum mechanical systems. The form of the generalized uncertainty principle used to motivate these results will be motivated by the space fractional quantum mechanics, and non-locality in quantum mechanical systems. We also analyse a specific limit of this generalized deformation for one dimensional system, and in that limit, a nonlocal deformation of the momentum operator generates a local deformation of all one dimensional quantum mechanical systems. We analyse the low energy effects of this deformation on a harmonic oscillator, Landau levels, Lamb shift, and potential barrier. We also demonstrate that this deformation leads to a discretization of space
Boundary effects in super-Yang–Mills theory
Abstract In this paper, we shall analyze a three dimensional supersymmetry theory with N = 2 supersymmetry. We will analyze the quantization of this theory, in the presence of a boundary. The effective Lagrangian used in the path integral quantization of this theory, will be given by the sum of the gauge fixing term and the ghost term with the original classical Lagrangian. Even though the supersymmetry of this effective Lagrangian will also be broken due to the presence of a boundary, it will be demonstrated that half of the supersymmetry of this theory can be preserved by adding a boundary Lagrangian to the effective bulk Lagrangian. The supersymmetric transformation of this new boundary Lagrangian will exactly cancel the boundary term generated from the supersymmetric transformation of the effective bulk Lagrangian. We will analyze the Slavnov–Taylor identity for this N = 2 Yang–Mills theory with a boundary
