hep-ph/0602001 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Updated Constraints on the Minimal Supergravity Model
Authors: Abdelhak Djouadi (Orsay, France), Manuel Drees (KIAS, Seoul and Bonn, Germany), Jean-Loic Kneur (Montpellier, France)
Comments: About 35 pages, numerous postscript figures

We provide an up-to-date analysis of the parameter space of the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA). Novel features include the new central value of the top quark mass, an improved calculation of the masses of the supersymmetric particles and the neutral Higgs bosons, constraints from b to s \ell^+ \ell^- decays, and a careful treatment of the most important experimental and theoretical uncertainties. In addition to the by now traditional plots of the allowed region in the (m_0, m_{1/2}) plane, we show allowed regions in the planes spanned by pairs of {\em physical} sparticle or Higgs boson masses. Moreover, we search for the minimal allowed masses of new particles for various sets of constraints. We find that in many cases the direct experimental limits from collider and Dark Matter searches can be saturated even in this minimal model, and even after including the by now quite restrictive constraint on the Dark Matter relic density.

Authors: J. Beun (1), G. C. McLaughlin (1), R. Surman (2), W. R. Hix (3) ((1)North Carolina State University, (2) Union College, (3) ORNL)
Comments: 11 pages, 7 figures

We investigate nucleosynthesis in the supernovae post-core bounce neutrino-driven wind environment in the presence of active-sterile neutrino transformation. We consider active-sterile neutrino oscillations for a range of mixing parameters: vacuum mass-squared differences of 0.1 eV^2 < dm^2 < 100 eV^2, and vacuum mixing angles of sin^2(2 theta_v) > 10^-4. We find a consistent r-process pattern for a large range of mixing parameters that is in rough agreement with the halo star CS 22892-052 abundances and the pattern shape is determined by fission cycling. We find that the allowed region for the formation of the r-process peaks overlaps the LSND and NSBL (3+1) allowed region.

gr-qc/0602014 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Cosmological expansion governed by a scalar field from a 5D vacuum
Authors: Mauricio Bellini (Mar del Plata University & CONICET)
Comments: 9 pages, 3 figures
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Mathematical Physics; Space Physics

We consider a single field governed expansion of the universe from a five dimensional (5D) vacuum state. Under an appropiate transformation of coordinates the universe can be viewed in a effective manner as expanding in 4D with an effective equation of state which describes different epochs of its evolution. In the example here worked the universe fistly describes an inflationary phase, followed by a decelerated expansion. Thereafter, the universe is accelerated and describes a quintessential expansion to finally, in the future, be vacuum dominated.

Authors: Lee Samuel Finn, Matthew J. Benacquista, Shane L. Larson, Louis J. Rubbo
Comments: 5 pages, no figures

The Testbed for LISA Analysis (TLA) Project aims to facilitate the development, validation and comparison of different methods for LISA science data analysis, by the broad LISA Science Community, to meet the special challenges that LISA poses. It includes a well-defined Simulated LISA Data Product (SLDP), which provides a clean interface between the communities that have developed to model and to analyze the LISA science data stream; a web-based clearinghouse (at <this http URL>) providing SLDP software libraries, relevant software, papers and other documentation, and a repository for SLDP data sets; a set of mailing lists for communication between and among LISA simulators and LISA science analysts; a problem tracking system for SLDP support; and a program of workshops to allow the burgeoning LISA science community to further refine the SLDP definition, define specific LISA science analysis challenges, and report their results. This note describes the TLA Project, the resources it provides immediately, its future plans, and invites the participation of the broader community in the furtherance of its goals.
hep-ph/0602052 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Right-handed neutrinos as the source of density perturbations
Authors: Lotfi Boubekeur, Paolo Creminelli
Comments: 14 pages, 2 figures

We study the possibility that cosmological density perturbations are generated by the inhomogeneous decay of right-handed neutrinos. This will occur if a scalar field whose fluctuations are created during inflation is coupled to the neutrino sector. Robust predictions of the model are a detectable level of non-Gaussianity and, if standard leptogenesis is the source of the baryon asymmetry, a baryon isocurvature perturbations at the level of the present experimental constraints.
hep-th/0511084 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Asymptotic states of the bounce geometry
Authors: Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel
Comments: 20 pages, 7 figures. v2: reference added

We consider the question of asymptotic observables in cosmology. We assume that string theory contains a landscape of vacua, and that metastable de Sitter regions can decay to zero cosmological constant by bubble nucleation. The asymptotic properties of the corresponding bounce solution should be incorporated in a nonperturbative quantum theory of cosmology. A recent proposal for such a framework defines an S-matrix between the past and future boundaries of the bounce. We analyze in detail the properties of asymptotic states in this proposal, finding that generic small perturbations of the initial state cause a global crunch. We conclude that late-time amplitudes should be computed directly. This would require a string theory analogue of the no-boundary proposal.

Subj-class: High Energy Physics - Theory; Mathematical Physics

A brief review of p-adic and adelic cosmology is presented. In particular, p-adic and adelic aspects of gravity, classical cosmology, quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology and the wave function of the universe are considered. p-Adic worlds made of p-adic matters, which are different from real world of ordinary matter, are introduced. Real world and p-adic worlds make the universe as a whole. p-Adic origin of the dark energy and dark matter are proposed and discussed.

Authors: Oleg Kirillov, Uwe Guenther
Comments: 20 pages, 7 figures, presented at 4th International Workshop on Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians in Quantum Physics, November 23-25, 2005, Stellenbosch, South Africa
Subj-class: Mathematical Physics
MSC-class: 47B50; 46C20; 47A11; 32S05

The spectrum of the spherically symmetric alpha-2-dynamo is studied in the case of idealized boundary conditions. Starting from the exact analytical solutions of models with constant alpha-profiles a perturbation theory and a Galerkin technique are developed in a Krein-space approach. With the help of these tools a very pronounced alpha-resonance pattern is found in the deformations of the spectral mesh as well as in the unfolding of the diabolical points located at the nodes of this mesh. Non-oscillatory as well as oscillatory dynamo regimes are obtained. Finally, Frechet derivative (gradient) based methods are developed, suitable for further numerical investigations of Krein-space related setups like MHD alpha-2-dynamos or models of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics.

hep-ph/0602061 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Moduli-Induced Gravitino Problem
Authors: Motoi Endo, Koichi Hamaguchi, Fuminobu Takahashi
Comments: 5 pages, 1 figure

We investigate the cosmological moduli problem by studying a modulus decay in detail and find that the branching ratio of the gravitino production is generically of O(0.01-1), which causes another cosmological disaster. Consequently, the cosmological moduli problem cannot be solved simply by making the modulus mass heavier than 100 TeV. We also illustrate our results by explicitly calculating the branching ratio into the gravitinos in the mixed modulus--anomaly/KKLT- and racetrack-type models.

Authors: Josef L.P. Karthauser (1), P.M. Saffin (1 and 2) ((1) University of Sussex, (2) University of Nottingham)
Comments: 27 pages, 4 figures

The evolution of multiple scalar fields in cosmology has been much studied, particularly when the potential is formed from a series of exponentials. For a certain subclass of such systems it is possible to get `assisted` behaviour, where the presence of multiple terms in the potential effectively makes it shallower than the individual terms indicate. It is also known that when compactifying on coset spaces one can achieve a consistent truncation to an effective theory which contains many exponential terms, however, if there are too many exponentials then exact scaling solutions do not exist. In this paper we study the potentials arising from such compactifications of eleven dimensional supergravity and analyse the regions of parameter space which could lead to scaling behaviour.
hep-th/0602061 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Strings, Black Holes, and Quantum Information
Authors: Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
Comments: 27 pages, 9 figures

We find multiple relations between extremal black holes in string theory and 2- and 3-qubit systems in quantum information theory. We show that the entropy of the axion-dilaton extremal black hole is related to the concurrence of a 2-qubit state, whereas the entropy of the STU black holes, BPS as well as non-BPS, is related to the 3-tangle of a 3-qubit state. We relate the 3-qubit states with the string theory states with some number of D-branes. We identify a set of "large" black holes with the maximally entangled GHZ-class of states and some "small" black holes with bipartite or W states. We sort out the relation between 3-qubit states, twistors, octonions, and black holes. We give a simple expression for the entropy and the area of stretched horizon of "small" black holes in terms of 2-tangles of a 3-qubit system. Finally, we show that the most general expression for the black hole and black ring entropy in N=8 supergravity/M-theory, which is given by the famous quartic Cartan E_{7(7)} invariant, can be reduced, using the SU(8) symmetry, to Cayley's hyperdeterminant describing the 3-tangle of a 3-qubit state.

gr-qc/0602026 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Binary black hole merger dynamics and waveforms
Authors: John G. Baker, Joan Centrella, Dae-Il Choi, Michael Koppitz, James van Meter
Comments: 11 pages, 11 figures, to be submitted to PRD

We study dynamics and radiation generation in the last few orbits and merger of a binary black hole system, applying recently developed techniques for simulations of moving black holes. Our analysis of the gravitational radiation waveforms and dynamical black hole trajectories produces a consistent picture for a set of simulations with black holes beginning on circular-orbit trajectories at a variety of initial separations. We find profound agreement at the level of one percent among the simulations for the last orbit, merger and ringdown. We are confident that this part of our waveform result accurately represents the predictions from Einstein's General Relativity for the final burst of gravitational radiation resulting from the merger of an astrophysical system of equal-mass non-spinning black holes. The simulations result in a final black hole with spin parameter a/m=0.69. We also find good agreement at a level of roughly 10 percent for the radiation generated in the preceding few orbits.
hep-ph/0602028 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: A Markov Chain Monte Carlo Analysis of the CMSSM
Authors: Roberto Ruiz de Austri, Roberto Trotta, Leszek Roszkowski
Comments: 52 pages, 18 PS figures

We perform a comprehensive exploration of the Constrained MSSM parameters using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique and a Bayesian analysis. We compute superpartner masses and other collider observables as well as a cold dark matter abundance, and compare them with experimental data. We include uncertainties arising from theoretical approximations as well as from residual experimental errors on relevant SM parameters. We delineate probability distributions of the CMSSM parameters, the collider and cosmological observables as well as a dark matter direct detection cross section. The 68% probability intervals of the CMSSM parameters are: 0.52 TeV < m_{1/2} < 1.26 TeV, m_0 <2.10 TeV, -0.34 TeV < A_0 < 2.41 TeV and 38.5< tan(beta) <54.6. Generally, large fractions of high probability ranges of the superpartner masses will be probed at the LHC. We highlight a complementarity between LHC and WIMP dark matter searches in exploring the CMSSM parameter space. We further expose a number of correlations among the observables, in particular between BR(B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-) and BR({\bar B}\to X_s\gamma) or sigma_p^{SI}. Once SUSY is discovered, this and other correlations may prove helpful in distinguishing the CMSSM from other supersymmetric models. The robustness of our results is investigated in terms of the assumed ranges of CMSSM parameters and the effect of the (g-2)_mu anomaly which shows some tension with the other observables. We find that the results for m_0, and the observables which strongly depend on it, are sensitive to our assumptions, while our conclusions for the other variables are robust.
