    Pseudo Newtonian Potential For a Rotating Kerr Black Hole Embedded in Quintessence

    Full text link
    Pseudo-Newtonian Potential has always been a useful tool to discuss the motion of a particle in space-time to avoid the tedious and nearly impossible nonlinear computations coming from the field equations of general relativity. Mukhopadhyay, in 2002, has introduced such a pseudo-Newtonian potential for rotating Kerr black hole which is efficient enough to replicate the scenario of the classical mechanics. But there was no such model to explain the dark energy realm. In 2016 S Ghosh introduced a Lagrangian for such rotating black hole embedded in quintessence. in this article we obtained a pseudo-Newtonian force for this new black hole solution embedded quintessence. This paper introduces a simple computational scheme to evaluate a pseudo-Newtonian force for any space-time metric. This model possesses at most 4.95%4.95 \% error corresponding to general relativistic results. Since we took a popular agent of dark energy, i.e., quintessence into account, this is a general form of pseudo-Newtonian force to explain late time accelerating universe. In this paper, it also has been discussed about the difference between the pseudo-Newtonian force with and without dark energy effect. This paper also explains the natures of our present universe and its fate(locally around a black hole when repulsive negative pressure of dark energy is taken into account).Comment: 108 figure

    Dark Energy from pNGB Mediated Dirac Neutrino Condensate

    Full text link
    We consider an extension of the Standard Model that provide an unified description of eV scale neutrino mass and dark energy. An explicit model is presented by augmenting the Standard Model with an SU(2)LSU(2)_L doublet scalar, a singlet scalar and right handed neutrinos where all of them are assumed to be charged under a global U(1)XU(1)_X symmetry. A light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson, associated with the spontaneously broken U(1)XU(1)_{X} symmetry, acts as a mediator of an attractive force leading to a Dirac neutrino condensate, with large correlation length, and a non-zero gap in the right range providing a cosmologically feasible dark energy scenario. The neutrino mass is generated through the usual Dirac seesaw mechanism. Parameter space, reproducing viable dark energy scenario while having neutrino mass in the right ballpark, is presented.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables; new clarifications and discussions are added; updated reference list; matches published versio

    Diabetes increases the risk of Cardio-vascular disease (CVD). CVD is more prevalent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) than type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the mortality risk is higher in T1D than in T2D. The pathophysiology of CVD in T1D is poorly defined. To learn more about biological pathways that are potentially involved in T1D with cardiac dysfunction, we sought to identify differentially expressed genes in the T1D heart. Our study used T1D mice with severe hyperglycemia along with significant deficits in echocardiographic measurements. Microarray analysis of heart tissue RNA revealed that the T1D mice differentially expressed 10 genes compared to control. Using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), we showed that these genes were significantly involved in ketogenesis, cardiovascular disease, apoptosis and other toxicology functions. Of these 10 genes, the 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Synthase 2 (HMGCS2) was the highest upregulated gene in T1D heart. IPA analysis showed that HMGCS2 was center to many biological networks and pathways. Our data also suggested that apart from heart, the expression of HMGCS2 was also different in kidney and spleen between control and STZ treated mice. In conclusion, The HMGCS2 molecule may potentially be involved in T1D induced cardiac dysfunction

    Halo uncertainties in electron recoil events at direct detection experiments

    Full text link
    The dark matter direct detection rates are highly correlated with the phase space distribution of dark matter particles in our galactic neighbourhood. In this paper, we make a systematic study of the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on electron recoil events at the direct detection experiments with Xenon and semiconductor detectors. We find that within the standard halo model there can be up to ∼50% \sim 50\% deviation from the fiducial choice in the exclusion bounds from these observational uncertainties. For non-standard halo models, we report a similar deviation from the fiducial standard halo model when fitted with recent cosmological NN-body simulations while even larger deviations are obtained in case of the observational uncertainties.Comment: 27 pages, 16 figures, 3 tables, matches the published versio
