    Motivated by Yang-Mills dark energy model, we propose a new model by introducing a logarithmic correction. we find that this model can avoid the coincidence problem naturally and gives an equation of state ww smoothly crossing -1 if an interaction between dark energy and dark matter exists. It has a stable tracker solution as well. To confront with observations based on the combined data of SNIa, BAO, CMB and Hubble parameter, we obtain the best fit values of the parameters with 1σ,2σ,3σ1\sigma, 2\sigma, 3\sigma errors for the noncoupled model: Ωm=0.276±0.008−0.015−0.022+0.016+0.024\Omega_m=0.276\pm0.008^{+0.016+0.024}_{-0.015-0.022}, h=0.699±0.003±0.006±0.008h=0.699\pm0.003\pm0.006\pm0.008, and for the coupled model with a decaying rate γ=0.2\gamma=0.2: Ωm=0.291±0.004−0.007−0.011+0.008+0.012\Omega_m=0.291\pm0.004^{+0.008+0.012}_{-0.007-0.011}, h=0.701±0.002±0.005±0.007h=0.701\pm0.002\pm0.005\pm0.007. In particular, it is found that the non-coupled model has a dynamic evolution almost undistinguishable to Λ\LambdaCDM at the late-time Universe.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, the published versio

    New approach to the origin of the tektite in China

    The tektites in China are distributed on the north part of Australia - Southeastern Asia strewfield of tektite: Leizhou Peninsula of Guangdong Province and Hainan Island, and located exactly at the boundary between Zanjiang Formation and Beihai Formation. A new hypothesis is suggested: During the end of Lower Pleistocene, a comet of special components from the outer part of the Solar System approached the Earth, and then it was captured by the Earth, when it came approximately to the Roche's limet. It was crushed into countless fragments, detritus and dusts, which rotated around the Earth, probably far above the Earth's atmosphere, as a cloud ring. Under the action of crushing energy they could be in the situation of liquid-melt drop in the almost vacuum circumstances and the flow and bubble structure were formed. During their rotation the climate became anomalous and the violet Fe-Si concentration were formed on the surface of sediments. After a rather short time of rotation the unstable ring was broken and the fragments impacted on the hard ground instantaneously

    Algebraic higher symmetry and categorical symmetry -- a holographic and entanglement view of symmetry

    Full text link
    We introduce the notion of algebraic higher symmetry, which generalizes higher symmetry and is beyond higher group. We show that an algebraic higher symmetry in a bosonic system in nn-dimensional space is characterized and classified by a local fusion nn-category. We find another way to describe algebraic higher symmetry by restricting to symmetric sub Hilbert space where symmetry transformations all become trivial. In this case, algebraic higher symmetry can be fully characterized by a non-invertible gravitational anomaly (i.e. an topological order in one higher dimension). Thus we also refer to non-invertible gravitational anomaly as categorical symmetry to stress its connection to symmetry. This provides a holographic and entanglement view of symmetries. For a system with a categorical symmetry, its gapped state must spontaneously break part (not all) of the symmetry, and the state with the full symmetry must be gapless. Using such a holographic point of view, we obtain (1) the gauging of the algebraic higher symmetry; (2) the classification of anomalies for an algebraic higher symmetry; (3) the equivalence between classes of systems, with different (potentially anomalous) algebraic higher symmetries or different sets of low energy excitations, as long as they have the same categorical symmetry; (4) the classification of gapped liquid phases for bosonic/fermionic systems with a categorical symmetry, as gapped boundaries of a topological order in one higher dimension (that corresponds to the categorical symmetry). This classification includes symmetry protected trivial (SPT) orders and symmetry enriched topological (SET) orders with an algebraic higher symmetry.Comment: 61 pages, 31 figure
