    Get PDF
    We show how a general nonstandard Lax equation (supersymmetric or otherwise) can be expressed as a standard Lax equation. This enables us to define the Gelfand-Dikii brackets for a nonstandard supersymmetric equation. We discuss the Hamiltonian structures for the nonstandard super KP system and work out explicitly the two Hamiltonian structures of the supersymmetric Two Boson system from this point of view.Comment: Plain Tex file, no figure

    In this article, our prime objective is to study the inflationary paradigm from generalized tachyon (GTachyon) living on the world volume of a non-BPS string theory. The tachyon action is considered here is getting modified compared to the original action. One can quantify the amount of the modification via a power qq instead of 1/21/2 in the effective action. Using this set up we study inflation from various types of tachyonic potentials, using which we constrain the index qq within, 1/2<q<21/2<q<2, Regge slope α′\alpha^{'}, string coupling constant gsg_{s} and mass scale of tachyon MsM_s, from the recent Planck 2015 and Planck+BICEP2/Keck Array joint data. We explicitly study the inflationary consequences from single field, assisted field and multi-field tachyon set up. Specifically for single field and assisted field case we derive the results in the quasi-de-Sitter background in which we will utilize the details of cosmological perturbations and quantum fluctuations. Also we derive the expressions for all inflationary observables using any arbitrary vacuum and Bunch-Davies vacuum. For single field and assisted field case we derive-the inflationary flow equations, new sets of consistency relations. Also we derive the field excursion formula for tachyon, which shows that assisted inflation is in more safer side compared to the single field case to validate effective field theory framework. Further we study the features of CMB Angular power spectrum from TT, TE and EE correlations from scalar fluctuations within the allowed range of qq for each potentials from single field set-up. We also put constraints from the temperature anisotropy and polarization spectra, which shows that our analysis is consistent with the Planck 2015 data. Finally, using δN\delta N formalism we derive the expressions for inflationary observables in the context of multi-field tachyons.Comment: 206 pages, 26 figures, 1 table, Final version, Accepted for publication in European Physical Journal

    Cosmological spectrum of two-point correlation function from vacuum fluctuation of Stringy Axion field in De Sitter space: A study of the role of Quantum Entanglement

    Full text link
    In this work, we study the impact of quantum entanglement on the two-point correlation function and the associated primordial power spectrum of mean square vacuum fluctuation in a bipartite quantum field theoretic system. The field theory that we consider is the effective theory of axion field arising from Type IIB string theory compactified to four dimensions. We compute the expression for the power spectrum of vacuum fluctuation in three different approaches, namely (1) field operator expansion (FOE) technique with the quantum entangled state, (2) reduced density matrix (RDM) formalism with mixed quantum state and (3) the method of non-entangled state (NES). For massless axion field, in all these three formalism, we reproduce, at the leading order, the exact scale-invariant power spectrum which is well known in the literature. We observe that due to quantum entanglement, the sub-leading terms for these thee formalisms are different. Thus, such correction terms break the degeneracy among the analysis of the FOE, RDM and NES formalisms in the super-horizon limit. On the other hand, for massive axion field, we get a slight deviation from scale invariance and exactly quantify the spectral tilt of the power spectrum in small scales. Apart from that, for massless and massive axion field, we find distinguishable features of the power spectrum for the FOE, RDM, and NES on the large scales, which is the result of quantum entanglement. We also find that such large-scale effects are comparable to or greater than the curvature radius of the de Sitter space. Most importantly, in the near future, if experiments probe for early universe phenomena, one can detect such small quantum effects. In such a scenario, it is possible to test the implications of quantum entanglement in primordial cosmology.Comment: 75 pages, 13 figures, 1 table, Revised version, This work published is published in Universe as part of the Special Issue "Cosmic String Theory and Observations

    Quantum entanglement in de Sitter space from Stringy Axion: An analysis using α\alpha vacua

    Full text link
    In this work, we study the phenomena of quantum entanglement by computing de Sitter entanglement entropy from von Neumann measure. For this purpose we consider a bipartite quantum field theoretic setup in presence of axion originating from Type II B{\bf Type~ II~B} string theory. We consider the initial vacuum to be CPT invariant non-adiabatic α\alpha vacua state under SO(1,4){\bf SO(1,4)} ismometry, which is characterized by a real one-parameter family. To implement this technique we use a S2{\bf S^2} which divide the de Sitter into two exterior and interior sub-regions. First, we derive the wave function of axion in an open chart for α\alpha vacua by applying Bogoliubov transformation on the solution for Bunch-Davies vacuum state. Further, we quantify the density matrix by tracing over the contribution from the exterior region. Using this result we derive entanglement entropy, Reˊ\acute{e}nyi entropy and explain the long-range quantum effects in primordial cosmological correlations. We also provide a comparison between the results obtained from Bunch-Davies vacuum and the generalized α\alpha vacua, which implies that the amount of quantum entanglement and the long-range effects are larger for non zero value of the parameter α\alpha. Most significantly, our derived results for α\alpha vacua provides the necessary condition for generating non zero entanglement entropy in primordial cosmology.Comment: 31 pages, 13 figures, Revised version, Accepted for publication in Nuclear Physics

    Bounds on Tensor wave and Twisted Inflation

    Full text link
    We study the bounds on tensor wave in a class of twisted inflation models where D(4+2k)D(4+2k)-branes are wrapped on cycles in the compact manifold and wrap the KK-direction in the corresponding effective field theory. While the lower bound is found to be analogous to that in Type IIB models of brane inflation, the upper bound turns out to be significantly different. This is argued for a range of values for the parameter gsMg_s M satisfying the self-consistency relation and the WMAP data. Further, we observe that the wrapped D8D8-brane appears to be the most attractive from a cosmological perspective.Comment: 5 page

    Bell violation in the Sky

    In this work, we have studied the possibility of setting up Bell's inequality violating experiment in the context of cosmology, based on the basic principles of quantum mechanics. First we start with the physical motivation of implementing the Bell's inequality violation in the context of cosmology. Then to set up the cosmological Bell violating test experiment we introduce a model independent theoretical framework using which we have studied the creation of new massive particles by implementing the WKB approximation method for the scalar fluctuations in presence of additional time dependent mass contribution. Next using the background scalar fluctuation in presence of new time dependent mass contribution, we explicitly compute the expression for the one point and two point correlation functions. Furthermore, using the results for one point function we introduce a new theoretical cosmological parameter which can be expressed in terms of the other known inflationary observables and can also be treated as a future theoretical probe to break the degeneracy amongst various models of inflation. Additionally, we also fix the scale of inflation in a model independent way without any prior knowledge of primordial gravitational waves. Next, we also comment on the technicalities of measurements from isospin breaking interactions and the future prospects of newly introduced massive particles in cosmological Bell violating test experiment. Further, we cite a precise example of this set up applicable in the context of string theory motivated axion monodromy model. Then we comment on the explicit role of decoherence effect and high spin on cosmological Bell violating test experiment. In fine, we provide a theoretical bound on the heavy particle mass parameter for scalar fields, graviton and other high spin fields from our proposed setup.Comment: 202 pages, 16 figures, 1 table, Accepted for publication in European Physical Journal
