gr-qc/0604047 [abs, pdf] :: Title: Does a Teleconnection between Quantum States account for Missing Mass, Galaxy Ageing, Lensing Anomalies, Supernova Redshift, MOND, and Pioneer Blueshift?
Authors: Charles Francis
Comments: 20 pages, 12 figs. Submitted to Proc Roy Soc A

Empirical implications of a teleparallel displacement of momentum between initial and final quantum states, using conformally flat quantum coordinates are investigated. An exact formulation is possible in an FRW cosmology in which cosmological redshift is given by 1+z=a_0^2/a^2(t). This is consistent with current observation for a universe expanding at half the rate and twice as old as indicated by a linear law, and, in consequence, requiring a quarter of the critical density for closure. After rescaling Omega so that Omega=1 is critical density in the teleconnection model, it is found that for given cosmological parameters, Omega, Omega_k and Omega_Lambda, luminosity distance is a factor sqrt(1+z) greater than in the corresponding standard model. Best fits to data from the SuperNova Legacy Survey for a flat space Lambda cosmology is Omega=1.07 and for a Lambda=0 cosmology, Omega=1.15. It will require many observations of supernovae at z>1 to eliminate either the standard or teleconnection magnitude-redshift relation. Quantum coordinates exhibit an acceleration in time, resulting in the anomalous Pioneer blue-shift and in the flattening of galaxies' rotation curves. These appear as optical effects and do not affect classical motions. Milgrom's phenomenological law (MOND) is precisely obeyed. A no CDM teleconnection model resolves inconsistencies between galactic profiles found from lensing data, rotation curves and analytic models of galaxy evolution.
gr-qc/0604050 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Tachyon Matter in Loop-Inspired Cosmology
Authors: A. A. Sen
Comments: 5 pages, Revtex style

An analytical approach for studying the cosmological scenario with a homogeneous tachyon field within the framework of loop quantum gravity is developed. Our study is based on the semi-classical regime where space time can be approximated as a continuous manifold, but matter Hamiltonian gets non-perturbative quantum corrections. A formal correspondence between classical and loop quantum cosmology is also established. The Hamilton-Jacobi method for getting exact solutions is constructed and some exact power-law as well as bouncing solutions are presented.

gr-qc/0602056 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Relativistic periastron precession and frame dragging of stellar orbits in the central arcsecond of our Galaxy
Authors: G. V. Kraniotis
Comments: LaTeX file, 30 pages, typos fixed

The geodesic equations of general relativity that describe motion of a test particle in Kerr spacetime are solved exactly including the contribution from the cosmological constant. By applying the exact solution for the precession of the point of closest approach for the orbit of the test particle around the Kerr field, we calculate the relativistic effect of periapsis advance for the observed orbits of S-stars in the central arcsecond of our galaxy, assuming that the galactic centre is a Kerr black hole, for various values of the Kerr parameter including those supported by recent observations. The observation of the predicted effects can provide an important test of the theory of general relativity. In addition, we derive the exact solution of timelike non-spherical polar and non-polar orbits. Exact expressions for the periastron (periapsis) advance and frame dragging (Lense-Thirring) effect for a test particle in a polar, non-spherical orbit in the Kerr gravitational field are derived and applied for practical calculations around the galactic centre. We subsequently derive an analytical expression for the periapsis precession for the equatorial non-circular orbit of a test particle around a rotating mass whose surrounding curved spacetime geometry is described by the Kerr-de Sitter field.
gr-qc/0604062 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Vacuum Energy: Myths and Reality
Authors: G.E. Volovik
Comments: 20 pages, 2 figures, prepared for the special issue of Int. J. Mod. Phys. devoted to dark energy and dark matter, IJMP style
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Statistical Mechanics

We discuss the main myths related to the vacuum energy and cosmological constant, such as: ``unbearable lightness of space-time''; the dominating contribution of zero point energy of quantum fields to the vacuum energy; non-zero vacuum energy of the false vacuum; dependence of the vacuum energy on the overall shift of energy; the absolute value of energy only has significance for gravity; the vacuum energy depends on the vacuum content; cosmological constant changes after the phase transition; zero-point energy of the vacuum between the plates in Casimir effect must gravitate, that is why the zero-point energy in the vacuum outside the plates must also gravitate; etc. All these and some other conjectures appear to be wrong when one considers the thermodynamics of the ground state of the quantum many-body system, which mimics macroscopic thermodynamics of quantum vacuum. In particular, in spite of the ultraviolet divergence of the zero-point energy, the natural value of the vacuum energy is comparable with the observed dark energy. That is why the vacuum energy is the plausible candidate for the dark energy.
hep-ph/0604132 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Gravitinos from Heavy Scalar Decay
Authors: Takehiko Asaka, Shuntaro Nakamura, Masahiro Yamaguchi
Comments: 14 pages, 8 figures

Cosmological issues of the gravitino production by the decay of a heavy scalar field $X$ are examined, assuming that the damped coherent oscillation of the scalar once dominates the energy of the universe. The coupling of the scalar field to a gravitino pair is estimated both in spontaneous and explicit supersymmetry breaking scenarios, with the result that it is proportional to the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field in general. Cosmological constraints depend on whether the gravitino is stable or not, and we study each case separately. For the unstable gravitino with $M_{3/2} \sim$ 100GeV--10TeV, we obtain not only the upper bound, but also the lower bound on the reheating temperature after the $X$ decay, in order to retain the success of the big-bang nucleosynthesis. It is also shown that it severely constrains the decay rate into the gravitino pair. For the stable gravitino, similar but less stringent bounds are obtained to escape the overclosure by the gravitinos produced at the $X$ decay. The requirement that the free-streaming effect of such gravitinos should not suppress the cosmic structures at small scales eliminates some regions in the parameter space, but still leaves a new window of the gravitino warm dark matter. Implications of these results to inflation models are discussed. In particular, it is shown that modular inflation will face serious cosmological difficulty when the gravitino is unstable, whereas it can escape the constraints for the stable gravitino. A similar argument offers a solution to the cosmological moduli problem, in which the moduli is relatively heavy while the gravitino is light.
hep-th/0604085 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: The Effect of alpha' Corrections in String Gas Cosmology
Authors: Monica Borunda, Lotfi Boubekeur
Comments: 28 pages

In the Brandenberger-Vafa scenario of string gas cosmology, the Universe starts as a small torus of string length dimension filled with a hot gas of strings. In such extreme conditions, in addition to the departure from Einstein gravity which is due to the dilaton, one expects higher curvature corrections to be relevant. Motivated by this fact, we study the effect of the leading alpha'^3 corrections in type IIB string theory for this scenario. Within the assumptions of: weak coupling, adiabatic evolution and thermodynamical equilibrium, we perturbatively solved the corresponding equations of motion in two different cases: (i) the isotropic case which is governed by a single scale factor and (ii) the anisotropic case given by two different scale factors. In the first case, we consider two regimes (ia) The Hagedorn regime where the string gas equation of state is that of pressureless dust, and (ib) the radiation regime. In the second case, (ii), we only considered a radiation-like equation of state. We found that the inclusion of alpha' corrections affects the scale factor(s) in opposite way in the Hagedorn and in the radiation regimes, acting as a driving force for the first one and a damping force for the second one. This effect is small for reasonable initial conditions and it is only observed at early times. Morever it is bigger in the Hagedorn regime than in the radiation regime. We also analyzed the fixed points of the system. We found that there exists a stable dS fixed point, which does not exist when the corrections are neglected.

gr-qc/0604063 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Cosmologies with Energy Exchange
Authors: John D. Barrow, T. Clifton
Comments: 11 pages, 1 figure

We provide a simple mathematical description of the exchange of energy between two fluids in an expanding Friedmann universe with zero spatial curvature. The evolution can be reduced to a single non-linear differential equation which we solve in physically relevant cases and provide an analysis of all the possible evolutions. Particular power-law solutions exist for the expansion scale factor and are attractors at late times under particular conditions. We show how a number of problems studied in the literature, such as cosmological vacuum energy decay, particle annihilation, and the evolution of a population of evaporating black holes, correspond to simple particular cases of our model. In all cases we can determine the effects of the energy transfer on the expansion scale factor. We also consider the situation in the presence of anti-decaying fluids and so called phantom fluids which violate the dominant energy conditions.

Authors: K.G. Arun, B.R. Iyer, M.S.S. Qusailah, B.S. Sathyaprakash
Comments: 5 pages, 4 figures

Observations of the inspiral of massive binary black holes (BBH) in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and stellar mass binary black holes in the European Gravitational-Wave Observatory (EGO) offer an unique opportunity to test the non-linear structure of general relativity. For a binary composed of two non-spinning black holes, the non-linear general relativistic effects depend only on the masses of the constituents. In a recent letter, we explored the possibility of a test to determine all the post-Newtonian coefficients in the gravitational wave-phasing. However, mutual covariances dilute the effectiveness of such a test. In this communication, we propose a more powerful test in which the various post-Newtonian coefficients in the gravitational wave phasing are systematically measured by treating three of them as independent parameters and demanding their mutual consistency. LISA (EGO) will observe BBH inspirals with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 1000 (100) and thereby test the self-consistency of each of the nine post-Newtonian coefficients that have so-far been computed, by measuring the lower order coefficients to a relative accuracy of $\sim 10^{-5}$ (respectively, $\sim 10^{-4}$) and the higher order coefficients to a relative accuracy in the range $10^{-4}$-0.1 (respectively, $10^{-3}$-1).
gr-qc/0604071 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Weaker Gravity at Submillimetre Scales in Braneworlds Models
Authors: Claudia de Rham, Tetsuya Shiromizu, Andrew J. Tolley

Braneworld models typically predict gravity to grow stronger at short distances. In this paper, we consider braneworlds with two types of additional curvature couplings, a Gauss-Bonnet term in the bulk, and an Einstein-Hilbert term on the brane. In the regime where these terms are dominant over the bulk EH term, linearized gravity becomes weaker at short distances on the brane. In both models, the weakening of gravity is tied to the presence of ghosts in the graviton mass spectrum. We find that the ordinary coupling of matter to gravity is recovered at low energies/long wavelengths on the brane. We give some implications for cosmology and show its compatibility with observations. We also discuss the stability of compact stars.
hep-th/0604086 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: DGP Specteroscopy
Authors: Christos Charmousis, Ruth Gregory, Nemanja Kaloper, Antonio Padilla
Comments: 54 pages, 1 figure, JHEP latex

We systematically explore the spectrum of gravitational perturbations in codimension-1 DGP braneworlds, and find a 4D ghost on the self-accelerating branch of solutions. The ghost appears for any value of the brane tension, although depending on the sign of the tension it is either the helicity-0 component of the lightest localized massive tensor of mass $0<m^2 < 2H^2$ for positive tension, the scalar `radion' for negative tension, or their admixture for vanishing tension. Because the ghost is gravitationally coupled to the brane-localized matter, the self-accelerating solutions are not a reliable benchmark for cosmic acceleration driven by gravity modified in the IR. In contrast, the normal branch of solutions is ghost-free, and so these solutions are perturbatively safe at large distance scales. We further find that when the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold symmetry is broken, new tachyonic instabilities, which are much milder than the ghosts, appear on the self-accelerating branch. Finally, using exact gravitational shock waves we analyze what happens if we relax boundary conditions at infinity. We find that non-normalizable bulk modes, if interpreted as 4D phenomena, may open the door to new ghost-like excitations.

gr-qc/0604072 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Information-preserving black holes still do not preserve baryon number and other effective global quantum numbers
Authors: Dejan Stojkovic, Glenn D. Starkman, Fred C. Adams
Comments: Honorable Mention on Gravity Essay Competition 2005; Published in the special Essay issue of Int.J.Mod.Phys
Journal-ref: Int.J.Mod.Phys.D14:2293-2300,2005

It has been claimed recently that the black hole information-loss paradox has been resolved: the evolution of quantum states in the presence of a black hole is unitary and information preserving. We point out that, contrary to some claims in literature, information-preserving black holes still violate baryon number and any other quantum number which follows from an effective (and thus approximate) or anomalous symmetry.

Authors: G. Belanger, F. Boudjema, S. Kraml, A. Pukhov, A. Semenov
Comments: 36 pages, 21 figures (low resolution). A version with high-resolution figures can be downloaded from this http URL

We calculate the relic density of dark matter in the MSSM with CP violation. We analyse various scenarios of neutralino annihilation: the cases of a bino, bino-wino and bino-Higgsino LSP, annihilation through Higgs, as well as sfermion coannihilation scenarios. Large phase effects are found, on the one hand due to shifts in the masses, on the other hand due to modifications of the couplings. Taking special care to disentangle the effects in masses and couplings, we demonstrate that the presence of CP phases can have a significant influence on the neutralino relic abundance. Typical variations in \Omega h^2 solely from modifications in the couplings are O(10%-100%), but can reach an order of magnitude in some cases.
hep-th/0604075 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Escaping from the black hole?
Authors: E. Babichev, V. Mukhanov, A. Vikman
Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures

We show that if there exists a special kind of Born-Infeld type scalar field, then one can send information from inside a black hole. This information is encoded in perturbations of the field propagating in non-trivial scalar field backgrounds, which serves as a "new ether". Although the theory is Lorentz-invariant it allows, nevertheless, the superluminal propagation of perturbations with respect to the "new ether". We found the stationary solution for background, which describes the accretion of the scalar field onto a black hole. Examining the propagation of small perturbations around this solution we show the signals emitted inside the horizon can reach an observer located outside the black hole. We discuss possible physical consequences of this result.

Subj-class: Physics and Society

In the present document I review the current organizational structure of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Physics in Greece. I briefly present the institutions where professional astronomers are pursuing research, along with some notes of their history, as well as the major astronomical facilities currently available within Greece. I touch upon topics related to graduate studies in Greece and present some statistics on the distribution of Greek astronomers. Even though every attempt is made to substantiate all issues mentioned, some of the views presented have inevitably a personal touch and thus should be treated as such.

Subj-class: Instrumentation and Detectors

We report on a large active area (15x15mm2), high channel density (470 pixels/mm2), self-triggering CMOS analog chip that we have developed as pixelized charge collecting electrode of a Micropattern Gas Detector. This device, which represents a big step forward both in terms of size and performance, is the last version of three generations of custom ASICs of increasing complexity. The CMOS pixel array has the top metal layer patterned in a matrix of 105600 hexagonal pixels at 50 micron pitch. Each pixel is directly connected to the underneath full electronics chain which has been realized in the remaining five metal and two poly-silicon layers of a 0.18 micron VLSI technology. The chip has customizable self-triggering capability and includes a signal pre-processing function for the automatic localization of the event coordinates. In this way it is possible to reduce significantly the readout time and the data volume by limiting the signal output only to those pixels belonging to the region of interest. The very small pixel area and the use of a deep sub-micron CMOS technology has brought the noise down to 50 electrons ENC. Results from in depth tests of this device when coupled to a fine pitch (50 micron on a triangular pattern) Gas Electron Multiplier are presented. The matching of readout and gas amplification pitch allows to get optimal results. The application of this detector for Astronomical X-Ray Polarimetry is discussed. The experimental detector response to polarized and unpolarized X-ray radiation when working with two gas mixtures and two different photon energies is shown. Results from a full MonteCarlo simulation for several galactic and extragalactic atronomical sources are also reported.
