    Full text link
    In this letter, using the rainbow functions that were proposed by Magueijo and Smolin, we investigate the thermodynamics and the phase transition of rainbow Schwarzschild black hole. First, we calculate the rainbow gravity corrected Hawking temperature. From this modification, we then derive the local temperature, free energy, and other thermodynamic quantities in an isothermal cavity. Finally, we analyze the critical behavior, thermodynamic stability, and phase transition of the rainbow Schwarzschild black hole. The results show that the rainbow gravity can stop the Hawking radiation in the final stages of black holes' evolution and lead to the remnants of black holes. Furthermore, one can observe that the rainbow Schwarzschild black hole has one first-order phase transition, two second-order phase transitions, and three Hawking-Page-type phase transitions in the framework of rainbow gravity theory.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Letter B. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1608.0682

    Rainbow gravity corrections to the entropic force

    The entropic force attracts a lot of interest for its multifunctional properties. For instance, Einstein's field equation, Newton's law of gravitation and the Friedmann equation can be derived from the entropic force. In this paper, utilizing a new kind of rainbow gravity model that was proposed by Magueijo and Smolin, we explore the quantum gravity corrections to the entropic force. First, we derive the modified thermodynamics of a rainbow black hole via its surface gravity. Then, according to Verlinde's theory, the quantum corrections to the entropic force are obtained. The result shows that the modified entropic force is related not only to the properties of the black hole but also the Planck length β„“p\ell_p, and the rainbow parameter Ξ³\gamma. Furthermore, based on the rainbow gravity corrected entropic force, the modified Einstein's field equation and the modified Friedmann equation are also derived.Comment: 10 page

    On explicit free field realizations of current algebras

    Full text link
    We construct the explicit free field representations of the current algebras so(2n)kso(2n)_k, so(2n+1)kso(2n+1)_k and sp(2n)ksp(2n)_k for a generic positive integer nn and an arbitrary level kk. The corresponding energy-momentum tensors and screening currents of the first kind are also given in terms of free fields.Comment: Latex file, 25 page
