Confinement of fermions in tachyon matter

In this paper we develop a phenomenological model inspired by QCD that mimics QCD theory. We use gauge theory in color dielectric medium ($G(\phi)$) coupled with fermion fields to produce scalar and vector confinement in chromoelectric flux tube scenario. Abelian theory will be used to approximate the non-Abelian QCD theory in a consistent manner. We will calculate vector and scalar glueballs and compare the result to the existing simulation and experimental results and projections. The QCD-like vacuum associated with the model will be calculated and its behavior studied relative to changing quark masses. We will also comment on the relationship between tachyon condensation, dual Higgs mechanism, QCD monopole condensation and their association with confinement. The behavior of the QCD string tension obtained from the vector potential of the model will be studied to establish vector dominance in confinement theories.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures.

The (de)-confinement transition in tachyonic matter at finite temperature

In this paper we present a QCD motivated model that mimics QCD theory. We examine the characteristics of the gauge field coupled with the color dielectric function ($G$) in the presence of temperature ($T$). The aim is to achieve confinement at low temperatures $T<T_{c}$, ($T_{c}$, is the critical temperature), similar to what occurs among quarks and gluons in hadrons at low energies. Also, we investigate scalar glueballs and QCD string tension and effect of temperature on them. To achieve this, we use the phenomenon of color dielectric function in gauge fields in a slowly varying tachyon medium. This method is suitable for analytically computing the resulting potential, glueball masses and the string tension associated with the confinement at a finite temperature. We demonstrate that the color dielectric function changes Maxwell's equation as a function of the tachyon fields and induces the electric field in a way that brings about confinement during the tachyon condensation below the critical temperature.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures; version published in AHE

Fibonacci Oscillators in the Landau Diamagnetism problem

We address the issue of the Landau diamagnetism problem via $q$-deformed algebra of Fibonacci oscillators through its generalized sequence of two real and independent deformation parameters $q_1$ and $q_2$. We obtain $q$-deformed thermodynamic quantities such as internal energy, number of particles, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility which recover their usual form in the degenerate limit $q_1^2 + q_2^2$=1.Comment: Latex, 11 pages, two figures, version to appear in Physica
