In this paper, we propose a field redefinition invariant Lagrange multiplier (LM) formalism in which new ghost-like fields, analogous to Lee-Yang ghosts, are introduced. These ghost fields are required to restore the field redefinition invariance of the standard path integral of the LM theory and, at the same time, to cancel the additional contributions due to the LM fields. We argue that the extra degrees of freedom in the standard LM formalism, coming from the LM fields, should cancel against the degrees of freedom of the ghost fields. Hence, in the field redefinition invariant formalism the doubling of degrees of freedom, associated with the LM fields, is absent., Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures.

This paper uses the definition of complexity for a static spherically symmetric spacetime and extends it to the case of charged distribution. We formulate the Einstein-Maxwell field equations corresponding to the anisotropic interior and calculate two different mass functions. We then take Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m metric as an exterior spacetime to find the matching conditions at the spherical boundary. Some scalars are developed from the orthogonal splitting of the curvature tensor, and we call one of them, i.e., $\mathcal{Y}_{TF}$ as the complexity factor for the considered setup. Further, the three independent field equations are not enough to close the system, therefore, we adopt the complexity-free condition. Along with this condition, we consider three constraints that lead to different models. We also present the graphical interpretation of the resulting solutions by choosing some particular values of parameters. We conclude that the models corresponding to $p_r=0$ and a polytropic equation of state show viable and stable behavior everywhere., Comment: 25 pages, 13 figures

According to the Einstein hole argument, vacuum metric solutions are equivalent only if they correspond to the same energy--momentum tensor in the source region. In this paper it is shown that singular coordinates that are used to show Schwarzschild geodesics completeness, introduce the fictive delta-like sources at the horizon. Then, metric tensors obtained by such singular transformations, cannot be considered as solutions of the same Einstein equations with the central source., Comment: 13 pages, no figures

In this paper, we show that the holographic dark energy density hides in the solutions of Lovelock gravity for black holes. Using the obtained mass and temperature we find density equations. We propose a physical interpretation of the rescaled Lovelock couplings as a topological mass that describes the Lovelock branch. In addition to this, we present new solutions that satisfy the energy conditions according to the Lovelock coupling and the horizon curvatures. This work can be extended to the equation of the state {\omega}_{{\Lambda}} of dark energy in third-order Lovelock gravity. We show that the value "-1" represents a stable equilibrium of {\omega}_{{\Lambda}}., Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures

In this paper, we study various mixed state information theoretic quantities for a boosted black brane geometry. We have considered two setups, namely, a strip-like subsystem taken parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the boost. The quantities we calculate are the entanglement wedge cross-section, mutual information, entanglement negativity, and purification complexity. In the subsequent analysis, we have incorporated the thin-strip approximation and computed the leading order change (over pure AdS) in the concerned information theoretic quantities due to the boost parameter. We also show the relation of these quantities computed holographically to the energy and pressure of the boundary field theory. We then proceed to calculate the asymmetry ratios of these quantities, and observe that they are independent of the subsystem size. Finally, we proceed to study an interesting limit of the boosted black brane geometry, which is the so called AdS wave geometry. We once again compute all the mixed state information theoretic quantities for this geometry., Comment: v1:32 pages LaTex and 9 figures, v2:40 pages LaTex, v3: matches with the accepted version

In this paper we determine the Hawking temperature and entropy of a modified canonical acoustic black hole. In our results we obtain an entropy-area relation that has a logarithmic correction term in leading order. We also analyze the stability condition of the noncommutative canonical acoustic black hole and also with quantum corrections implemented by the generalized Heisenberg uncertainty principle., 11 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Annals Phys

The paper studies the spinorial wave equations, namely the Dirac and the Klein Gordon equations, as well as the greybody radiations and quasinormal modes (QNMs) of the charged Taub NUT black hole (CTNBH). To obtain fermionic greybody factors (GFs) and QNMs, we study the charged fermions by employing the Dirac equation. To this end, we use a null tetrad in the Newman-Penrose formalism. Then, we separate the Dirac equation into radial and angular sets. Using the obtained radial equations, we convert them into the typical one dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger like wave equations with the aid of tortoise coordinate and derive the effective potentials. For bosonic GFs and QNMs, we study the Klein Gordon equation in the CTNBH geometry and obtain the radial equation. We then derive the effective potential and investigate the effect of NUT parameter on it. We show that while the fermionic QNMs and GFs individually increase with the increasing NUT parameter, the increase of bosonic GFs with increasing NUT parameter is overwhelmingly greater than that of the bosonic QNMs.

The extended Dicke model describes interaction of the single--mode electromagnetic resonator with an ensemble of interacting two--level systems. In this paper we obtain quasiclassical equations of motion of the extended Dicke model. For certain initial conditions and range of parameters the equations of motion can be solved analytically via Jacobi elliptic functions. The solution is a "bound luminosity" state, which was described by the authors previously for ordinary Dicke model and now is generalized for the case of the extended Dicke model. In this state the periodic beatings of the electromagnetic field occur in the microwave cavity filled with the ensemble of two--level systems. At the beginning of the time period the energy is stored in the electromagnetic field in the cavity, then it is absorbed by the ensemble of two--level systems, being afterwards released back to the cavity in the end of the period. Also the chaotic properties of the semiclassical model are investigated numerically.

This is the first in a series of papers aiming to develop a relativistic quantum information theory in terms of unequal-time correlation functions in quantum field theory. In this work, we highlight two formalisms which together can provide a useful theoretical platform suitable for further developments: 1) Quantum field measurements using the Quantum Temporal Probabilities (QTP) method; 2) Closed-Time-Path (CTP) formalism for causal time evolutions. QTP incorporates the detector into the quantum description, while emphasising that the records of measurement are macroscopic, and they can be expressed in terms of classical spacetime coordinates. We first present a new, elementary derivation of the QTP formulas for the probabilities of n measurement events. We then demonstrate the relation of QTP with the Closed-Time-Path formalism, by writing an explicit formula that relates the associated generating functionals. We exploit the path integral representation of the CTP formalism, in order to express the measured probabilities in terms of path integrals. After this, we provide some simple applications of the QTP formalism. In particular, we show how Unruh-DeWitt detector models and Glauber's photodetection theory appear as limiting cases . Finally, with quantum correlation being the pivotal notion in relativistic quantum information and measurements, we highlight the role played by the CTP two-particle irreducible effective action which enables one to tap into the resources of non-equilibrium quantum field theory for our stated purpose., Comment: 41 pages.

In the recently quickly developing context of quantum mechanics of unitary systems using a time-independent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian $H$ (having real spectrum and defined as acting in an unphysical but user-friendly Hilbert space ${\cal R}_N^{(0)}$), the present paper introduces and describes a set of constructive returns of the description to one of the correct and eligible physical Hilbert spaces ${\cal R}_0^{(j)}$. The superscript $j$ may run from $j=0$ to $j=N$. In the $j=0$ extreme of the theory the construction is currently well known and involves solely the inner product metric $\Theta=\Theta(H)$. The Hamiltonian $H$ itself remains unchanged. At $j=N$ the inner-product metric remains trivial and only the Hamiltonian must be Hermitized, $H \to \mathfrak{h} = \Omega\,H\,\Omega^{-1}=\mathfrak{h}^\dagger$. At the remaining superscripts $j=1,2,\ldots, N-1$, a new, hybrid form of the construction of a consistent quantum model is proposed, requiring a simultaneous amendment of both the metric and the Hamiltonian. In applications, one of these options is expected to be optimal for a given $H$ in a way illustrated by a schematic three-state example., Comment: 32 pp

This paper gives an overview of the unconventional dependence of internal phase differences on the external phase difference in superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SINIS) and superconductor-superconductor-superconductor (SISIS) tunnel double junctions. The results are obtained within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach that includes boundary conditions for the superconductor order parameter in the presence of a Josephson coupling through interfaces. The boundary conditions are derived within the GL theory and substantiated microscopically. The absence of the one-to-one correspondence between external $\phi$ and internal $\chi_{1,2}$ phase differences in the junctions is shown to occur in two qualitatively different ways, both of which result in the range of $\chi_{1,2}$ reduced and prevent the $4\pi$-periodic current-phase relation $j=j_c\sin\frac{\phi}{2}$. In SINIS junctions, the effect of the supercurrent-induced phase incursion $\varphi$ between the end faces of the central electrode of mesoscopic length $L$ can play a crucial role. In SISIS junctions, there occurs the regime of interchanging modes, which is modified as $L$ decreases. The proximity and pair breaking effects in the double junctions with closely spaced interfaces are addressed., Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, Contribution for the Annals of Physics special issue in memory of Igor Dzyaloshinskii

In this Paper we analyze a model proposed recently with the purpose of studying the effects of rotation on the interaction of a point charge with a uniform magnetic field in an elastic medium with a spiral dislocation. In particular we focus on the approximation proposed by the authors that consists of changing the left boundary condition in order to obtain analytical results. We show that this approximation leads to quantitative and qualitative errors, the most relevant one being a wrong prediction of the level spacing.

This paper investigates how the nonzero temperature affects the differential cross-section for mesons scattering in a Lorentz-violating extension of the scalar electrodynamics. We initially discuss some features of the model and extract the zero temperature Feynman rules. Temperature effects are introduced using the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism. It is shown that the corrections induced on the meson scattering are very large in the high-temperature regime. Furthermore, our results also suggest that temperature effects may contribute to new constraints on the Lorentz-violating parameters., Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, minor changes to match published version, references added

Wormholes with Ellis geometry have been successfully constructed using tachyon matter \cite{Das}. However, for such a wormhole, it is obtained that the redshift function is necessarily a constant, and also the wormhole is plagued with an imaginary tachyon potential and a constant field if the solutions are obtained in the absence of a cosmological constant term. So, a physically plausible wormhole solution is possible only in the presence of a $\Lambda$ term. In this paper, we try to construct a wormhole from tachyon matter with three $other$ geometries \textit{different} from the Ellis geometry and see whether it is possible to construct them successfully, besides checking whether the restrictions of the Ellis wormhole can be overcome with these geometries. Among others, we obtain one very interesting result that for all three of these geometries \textit{different} from the Ellis, the $\Lambda$ term is no longer an essential ingredient in constructing physically plausible traversable wormholes and the tachyon matter, capable of providing explanations for the "\textbf{dark sector}" of the universe,is itself sufficient for this purpose., Comment: 14 Pages, 10 Figures

In this paper, we consider two brane-world black holes whose solutions are obtained via a confining potential and study their thermodynamical properties. The modified entropies by taking account of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) are obtained. We also determine the scalar effective potentials in order to compute the greybody factors of zero-spin particles (bosons) for both geometries. Finally, using the sixth-order WKB approach, quasi-normal modes (QNMs), which are also known as black hole fingerprints, are derived concerning the brane-world black hole parameters. The results obtained are graphically depicted, tabulated, and interpreted.

In this paper, we studied a dilute quasi two-dimensional dipolar Bose-condensed with two- and three-body contact, and Coulomb interactions using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov approximation. We analyze numerically the effects of three-body contact, and Coulomb interactions on the energy spectrum, the quantum and thermal noncondensate fraction of the system. We show that increasing the three-body contact and Coulomb interactions leads to the appearance of rotonization and condensate instability at stronger dipole-dipole interaction. Also we find that the temperature dependence of the thermal noncondensate fraction is linear at low temperature.
