Abstract In this paper, new analytic formulas for one-loop contributing to Higgs decay channel $H \rightarrow Z\gamma$ are presented in terms of hypergeometric functions. The calculations are performed by following the technique for tensor one-loop reduction developed in [A. I. Davydychev, Phys. Lett. B 263 (1991) 107]. For the first time, one-loop form factors for the decay process are shown which are valid at arbitrary space–time dimension $d$.

AbstractWe discuss the problem of polarized radiative transfer in general relativity. We present a set of equations suitable for solving the problem numerically for the case of an arbitrary space-time metric, and show numerical solutions to example problems. The solutions are computed with a new ray-tracing code, Arcmancer, developed by the authors.

Chaotic phenomena in general relativity are investigated. In relativistic astrophysical problems no space-time coordinate system is privileged in any way as far as the physical description of phenomena is concerned. Effects which depend on the choice of the particular coordinate system should be treated as an artifact of the incorrect methods. To avoid such difficulties the gauge invariant theory of chaos is proposed.

We show that if (M, g) is a distinguishing space-time, then any distance homothetic map from (M, g) onto arbitrary space-time (M′, g′) is a homothetic map; in particular, every distance preserving map is an isometry.

The phase structure of four-fermion theories is thoroughly investigated with varying temperature and chemical potential for arbitrary space-time dimensions (2≤D<4) by using the 1/N expansion method. It is shown that the chiral symmetry is restored in the theory under consideration for sufficiently high temperature and/or chemical potential. The critical line dividing the symmetric and the broken phase is given explicitly. It is found that for space-time dimension 2≤D<3 both the first order and the second order phase transition occur depending on the value of the temperature and chemical potential while for 3≤D<4 only the second order phase transition exists.


Traditional analytic methods have not been powerful enough to solve for strongfield time-dependent solutions of the nonlinear Einstein field equations. For this reason, numerical solution of the equations seemed to be a natural approach. Building on the earlier work inspired by DeWitt & Misner, my colleagues and I have developed a practical algorithm for constructing space-times. The point of view is that space-time is decomposed into spacelike time slices and a congruence of curves threading these slices. The time coordinate is that scalar function which is constant on each time slice, while spatial coordinates are constant along the members of the congruence. The systematic 3+1 Hamiltonian approach was exhaustively studied by Arnowitt et al . (1962); the application to solution of the field equations was recently stressed by Smarr & York (1978 a, b ).

We consider a K-essence involving a massless scalar field Φ minimally coupled to Einstein gravity in D ≥ 4 space–time dimensions. This theory admits a two-parameter family of spherical wormholes representing two asymptotically-flat universes connected via a (D-2)-dimensional spherical throat. The ADM masses of the two ends are unequal and of opposite sign except for a one-parameter family where both ends possess vanishing ADM masses. By cut and paste techniques, we construct a two-parameter family of wormholes where the ends possess equal and positive ADM masses but the throat is a (D-1)-dimensional thin-shell. The structure of the surface energy–momentum tensor is also analyzed.
