A quaternion unit gain graph is a graph where each orientation of an edge is given a quaternion unit, and the opposite orientation is assigned the inverse of this quaternion unit. In this paper, we provide a combinatorial description of the determinant of the Laplacian matrix of a quaternion unit gain graph by using row-column noncommutative determinants recently introduced by one of the authors. A numerical example is presented for illustrating our results., Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure

The dynamics of expansion and large scale structure formation of the Universe are analyzed for models with dark energy in the form of a phantom scalar field which initially mimics a $\Lambda$-term and evolves slowly to the Big Rip singularity. The discussed model of dark energy has three parameters -- the density and the equation of state parameter at the current epoch, $\Omega_{de}$ and $w_0$, and the asymptotic value of the equation of state parameter at $a\rightarrow\infty$, $c_a^2$. Their best-fit values are determined jointly with all other cosmological parameters by the MCMC method using observational data on CMB anisotropies and polarization, SNe Ia luminosity distances, BAO measurements and more. Similar computations are carried out for $\Lambda$CDM and a quintessence scalar field model of dark energy. It is shown that the current data slightly prefer the phantom model, but the differences in the maximum likelihoods are not statistically significant. It is also shown that the phantom dark energy with monotonically increasing density in future will cause the decay of large scale linear matter density perturbations due to the gravitational domination of dark energy perturbations long before the Big Rip singularity., Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables; comments and references added; version accepted for publication in Phys.Rev.D

We give a correct tensor proof of the positive energy problem for the case including momentum on basis of conditions of existence of the two-to-one correspondence between the Sen-Witten spinor field and the Sen-Witten orthonormal frame. These conditions were obtained in our previous publications, but true significance of our works was not estimated properly by G.Y.Chee, and these were not correct quoted in his publication. On other hand, the main result of our work is key argument in favour of geometrical nature of the Sen-Witten spinor field., Comment: 3 pages

The generalization of Sommers--Sen spinor connection for spinor fields, associated with a distribution $V_4^3$ and on this basis the equations for Weyl and Dirac null vector fields on complexificated $V_4^3$ are obtained. We interpret the obtained results by examining the interaction of spinor fields with the inertial forces., Comment: 9 pages, LaTex
