gr-qc/0611086 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Light's Bending Angle due to Black Holes: From the Photon Sphere to Infinity
Authors: Savitri V. Iyer, Arlie O. Petters
Comments: 20 pages, 5 figures

The bending angle of light is a central quantity in the theory of gravitational lensing. We develop an analytical perturbation framework for calculating the bending angle of light rays lensed by a Schwarzschild black hole. Using a perturbation parameter given in terms of the gravitational radius of the black hole and the light ray's impact parameter, we determine an invariant series for the strong-deflection bending angle that extends beyond the standard logarithmic deflection term used in the literature. In the process, we discover that the expression for the standard logarithmic deflection is not quite correct and provide the appropriate correction. Our perturbation framework is also used to derive as a consistency check, the recently found weak deflection bending angle series. We also reformulate the latter series in terms of a more natural invariant pertubation parameter, one that smoothly transitions between the weak and strong deflection series. We then compare our invariant strong deflection bending-angle series with the numerically integrated exact formal bending angle expression, and find less than 1% discrepancy for light rays as far out as twice the critical impact parameter. The paper concludes by showing that the strong and weak deflection bending angle series together provide an approximation that is within 1% of the exact bending angle value for light rays traversing anywhere between the photon sphere and infinity.
gr-qc/0611090 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Cosmology as a search for overall equilibrium
Authors: Carlos Barcelo
Comments: 9 pages, 1 figure

In this letter we will revise the steps followed by A. Einstein when he first wrote on cosmology from the point of view of the general theory of relativity. We will argue that his insightful line of thought leading to the introduction of the cosmological constant in the equations of motion has only one weakness: The constancy of the cosmological term, or what is the same, its independence of the matter content of the universe. Eliminating this feature, I will propose what I see as a simple and reasonable modification of the cosmological equations of motion. The solutions of the new cosmological equations give place to a cosmological model that tries to approach the Einstein static solution. This model shows very appealing features in terms of fitting current observations.
hep-ph/0611219 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Parameterization of the energy and rapidity distributions of secondary pions and kaons produced in energetic proton-proton collisions
Authors: Hylke B. J. Koers, Asaf Pe'er, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
Comments: 17 pages, 15 figures, revtex4. Submitted to Phys.Rev.D

The possibility of proton acceleration to very high energies in astrophysical sources may have unique observational consequences. In particular, the decay of secondary mesons created in the interaction of energetic protons with photons or nucleons gives rise to high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos with potentially observable fluxes. Recently, there has been considerable interest in the parameterization of the energy spectra of these secondaries. Less attention has been paid to the angular distributions, which may have an important effect on observational quantities and are required to address collisions between protons with different energies and an arbitrary scattering angle. In this work, we study the complete particle distributions of secondary mesons created in proton-proton collisions. We present parameterizations of the energy and rapidity distributions of secondary pions and kaons that reproduce results generated with the event generator PYTHIA to within ~10% in the bulk of the parameter space. The parameterizations are based on incident proton energies from 1 TeV to 1 PeV and are suited for extrapolation to higher energies. We present several applications of these parameterizations. Energy spectra and angular distributions of stable decay products (electrons, neutrinos and gamma rays) follow readily. We give an example of the gamma-ray spectrum that results from the decay of pi0 mesons created in a proton-proton collision. We show that there is a strong correlation between the energy of secondary mesons and the degree of collimation around the direction of the colliding protons. This effect may have important implications for the detection possibility of neutrinos created in the interaction of a developing GRB with its surroundings.
hep-th/0611183 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: O'KKLT
Authors: Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
Comments: 12 pages, 4 figures

We propose to combine the quantum corrected O'Raifeartaigh model, which has a dS minimum near the origin of the moduli space, with the KKLT model with an AdS minimum. The combined effective N=1 supergravity model, which we call O'KKLT, has a dS minimum with all moduli stabilized. Gravitino in the O'KKLT model tends to be light in the regime of validity of our approximations. We show how one can construct models with a light gravitino and a high barrier protecting vacuum stability during the cosmological evolution.
nucl-th/0611043 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: The crust of neutron stars
Authors: Nicolas Chamel
Comments: 9 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the Tours Symposium on Nuclear Physics VI (2006)

The structure of the crust of a neutron star is completely determined by the experimentally measured nuclear masses up to a density of the order of 10^11 g.cm^{-3}. At higher densities, the composition of the crust still remains uncertain, mainly due to the presence of ``free'' superfluid neutrons which affect the properties of the nuclear ``clusters''. After briefly reviewing calculations of the equilibrium structure of the crust, we point out that the current approach based on the Wigner-Seitz approximation does not properly describe the unbound neutrons. We have recently abandoned this approximation by applying the band theory of solids. We have shown that the dynamical properties of the free neutrons are strongly affected by the clusters by performing 3D calculations with Bloch boundary conditions.
physics/0611160 [abs, pdf] :: Title: A magnetic liquid deformable mirror for high stroke and low order axially symmetrical aberrations
Authors: Denis Brousseau, Ermanno F. Borra, Hubert-Jean Ruel, Jocelyn Parent
Comments: To appear in Optics Express
Subj-class: Optics; General Physics

We present a new class of magnetically shaped deformable liquid mirrors made of a magnetic liquid (ferrofluid). Deformable liquid mirrors offer advantages with respect to deformable solid mirrors: large deformations, low costs and the possibility of very large mirrors with added aberration control. They have some disadvantages (e.g. slower response time). We made and tested a deformable mirror, producing axially symmetrical wavefront aberrations by applying electric currents to 5 concentric coils made of copper wire wound on aluminum cylinders. Each of these coils generates a magnetic field which combines to deform the surface of a ferrofluid to the desired shape. We have carried out laboratory tests on a 5 cm diameter prototype mirror and demonstrated defocus as well as Seidel and Zernike spherical aberrations having amplitudes up to 20 microns, which was the limiting measurable amplitude of our equipment

hep-th/0611181 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Brane Cosmology with a Non-Minimally Coupled Bulk-Scalar Field
Authors: C. Bogdanos, A. Dimitriadis, K. Tamvakis
Comments: 15 pages

We consider the cosmological evolution of a brane in the presence of a bulk scalar field coupled to the Ricci scalar through a term f(\phi)R. We derive the generalized Friedmann equation on the brane in the presence of arbitrary brane and bulk-matter, as well as the scalar field equation, allowing for a general scalar potential V(phi). We focus on a quadratic form of the above non-minimal coupling and obtain a class of late-time solutions for the scale factor and the scalar field on the brane that exhibit accelerated expansion for a range of the non-minimal coupling parameter.
hep-th/0611182 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Renormalizable Non-Metric Quantum Gravity?
Authors: Kirill Krasnov
Comments: 5 pages, no figures

We argue that four-dimensional quantum gravity may be essentially renormalizable provided one relaxes the assumption of metricity of the theory. We work with Plebanski formulation of general relativity in which the metric (tetrad), the connection as well as the curvature are all independent variables and the usual relations among these quantities are only on-shell. One of the Euler-Lagrange equations of this theory guarantees its metricity. We show that quantum corrections generate a counterterm that destroys this metricity property, and that there are no other counterterms, at least at the one-loop level. There is a new coupling constant that controls the non-metric character of the theory. Its beta-function can be computed and is negative, which shows that the non-metricity becomes important in the infra red. The new IR-relevant term in the action is akin to a curvature dependent cosmological ``constant'' and may provide a mechanism for naturally small ``dark energy''.
hep-th/0611198 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: String-inspired Gauss-Bonnet gravity reconstructed from the universe expansion history and yielding the transition from matter dominance to dark energy
Authors: Guido Cognola, Emilio Elizalde, Shin'ichi Nojiri, Sergei D. Odintsov, Sergio Zerbini
Comments: LaTeX20 pages, 4 figures

We consider scalar-Gauss-Bonnet and modified Gauss-Bonnet gravities and reconstruct these theories from the universe expansion history. In particular, we are able to construct versions of those theories (with and without ordinary matter), in which the matter dominated era makes a transition to the cosmic acceleration epoch. It is remarkable that, in several of the cases under consideration, matter dominance and the deceleration-acceleration transition occur in the presence of matter only. The late-time acceleration epoch is described asymptotically by de Sitter space but may also correspond to an exact $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, having in both cases an effective equation of state parameter $w$ close to -1. The one-loop effective action of modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity on the de Sitter background is evaluated and it is used to derive stability criteria for the ensuing de Sitter universe.

gr-qc/0611101 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Inaccessible Singularities in Toral Cosmology
Authors: Brett McInnes
Comments: 10 pages

The familiar Bang/Crunch singularities of classical cosmology have recently been augmented by new varieties: rips, sudden singularities, and so on. These tend to be associated with final states. Here we consider an alternative possibility for the initial state: a singularity which has the novel property of being inaccessible to physically well-defined probes. These singularities arise naturally in cosmologies with toral spatial sections.
hep-ph/0611253 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Formation of Cosmic String network from black holes: Implications from liquid crystal experiments
Authors: Ajit M. Srivastava
Comments: 6 pages, 1 figure (submitted as a separate pdf file, should be downloaded separately)
Subj-class: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology; Soft Condensed Matter

We present observation of large, expanding string loops forming around a heated wire tip embedded in a nematic liquid crystal sample. Loops expand due to convective stretching. This observation leads to a new insight into phenomena which could occur in the early universe. We show that local heating of plasma in the early universe by evaporating primordial black holes can lead to formation of large, expanding cosmic string loops, just as observed in the liquid crystal experiment. Intercommutation of string loops from neighboring black holes can lead to percolation, thereby forming an infinite string network. This is remarkable as such an infinite string network is thought to arise only when the entire universe undergoes phase transition.
hep-th/0605010 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Gravitational Origin of Phantom Dark Energy and Late Cosmic Acceleration
Authors: S.K.Srivastava
Comments: 16 pages. To appear in Int.J.Mod.Phys. A

In this letter, dark energy is obtained using dual roles of the Ricci scalar (as a physical field as well as geometry). Dark energy density, obtained here, mimics phantom and the derived Friedmann equation contains a term $\rho^2_{\rm de}/2 \lambda$ with $\rho_{\rm de}$ being the dark energy density and $\lambda$ being the cosmic tension, like brane-gravity inspired Friedmann equation. It is found that acceleration is transient for $\lambda < 0$, but for $\lambda > 0$, expansion is found to encounter big-rip problem. It is shown that this problem can be avoided if dark energy behaves as barotropic fluid and generalized Chaplygin gas simultaneously. It is interesting to see that dark matter also emerges from the gravitational sector. Moreover, time for transition (from deceleration to acceleration of the universe) is derived as a function of equation of state parameter ${\rm w}_{\rm de}$.
hep-th/0611072 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: On Origin of Mass and Supersymmetry
Authors: Kazunari Shima, Motomu Tsuda
Comments: 7 pages

We show that the nonlinear supersymmetric general relativity gives new insights into the origin of mass and elucidates the mysterious relations between the cosmology and the (low energy) particle physics.
hep-th/0611184 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Evaporation of a black hole off of a tense brane
Authors: De-Chang Dai, Nemanja Kaloper, Glenn D. Starkman, Dejan Stojkovic
Comments: 6 pages, 5 figures

We calculate the gray-body factors for scalar, vector and graviton fields in the background of an exact black hole localized on a tensional 3-brane in a world with two large extra dimensions. Finite brane tension modifies the standard results for the case with of a black hole on a brane with negligible tension. For a black hole of a fixed mass, the power carried away into the bulk diminishes as the tension increases, because the effective Planck constant, and therefore entropy of a fixed mass black hole, increase. In this limit, the semiclassical description of black hole decay becomes more reliable.
hep-th/0611213 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Stationary vs. singular points in an accelerating FRW cosmology derived from six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Authors: E. Elizalde, A.N. Makarenko, V.V. Obukhov, K.E. Osetrin, A.E. Filippov
Comments: 9 pages, 20 figures, accepted in PLB
Subj-class: High Energy Physics - Theory; Mathematical Physics

Six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity (with a linear Gauss-Bonnet term) is investigated. This theory is inspired by basic features of results coming from string and M-theory. Dynamical compactification is carried out and it is seen that a four-dimensional accelerating FRW universe is recovered, when the two-dimensional internal space radius shrinks. A non-perturbative structure of the corresponding theory is identified which has either three or one stable fixed points, depending on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling being positive or negative. A much richer structure than in the case of the perturbative regime of the dynamical compactification recently studied by Andrew, Bolen, and Middleton is exhibited.
nucl-th/0611070 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: The neutron matter equation of state from low-momentum interactions
Authors: L. Tolos, B. Friman, A. Schwenk
Comments: 3 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of Quark Confinement and Hadron Spectrum VII (QCHS7), Ponta Delgada (Acores), Portugal, 2-7 September 2006

We calculate the neutron matter equation of state at finite temperature based on low-momentum nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions. Our results are compared to the model-independent virial equation of state and to variational calculations. We provide a simple estimate for the theoretical error, important for extrapolations to astrophysical conditions.
nucl-th/0611073 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Bound Electron Screening Corrections to Reactions in Hydrogen Burning Processes
Authors: Sachie Kimura, Aldo Bonasera
Comments: 13 pages, 5 figures

We estimate the bare astrophysical S-factor($S_b(E)$) of reactions in PP-chains, through a polynomial expression with the adiabatic enhancement factor due to the electron screening. The obtained $S_b$ is significantly different from the simple extrapolation from high energy data, however $S_b$ at zero incident energy is in agreement with the results of a recent R-matrix analysis.

gr-qc/0611110 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Kerr-Sen dilaton-axion black hole lensing in the strong deflection limit
Authors: Galin N. Gyulchev, Stoytcho S. Yazadjiev
Comments: 30 pages, 17 figures

In the present work we study numerically quasi-equatorial lensing by the charged, stationary, axially-symmetric Kerr--Sen dilaton-axion black hole in the strong deflection limit. In this approximation we compute the magnification and the positions of the relativistic images. The most outstanding effect is that the Kerr--Sen black hole caustics drift away from the optical axis and shift in clockwise direction with respect to the Kerr caustics.
The intersections of the critical curves on the equatorial plane as a function of the black hole angular momentum are found, and it is shown that they decrease with the increase of the parameter $Q^{2}/M$. All of the lensing quantities are compared to particular cases as Schwarzschild, Kerr and Gibbons--Maeda black holes.

All of the lensing quantities are compared to particular cases as Schwarzschild, Kerr and Gibbons--Maeda black holes.
