In order to obtain the geometry of a global monopole without cosmological constant and electric charge in [Formula: see text] dimensions, we make use of the broken [Formula: see text] symmetry. In the absence of an exact solution, we determine the series solutions for both the metric and monopole functions in a consistent manner that satisfies all equations in appropriate powers. The new expansion elements are of the form [Formula: see text] for the radial distance [Formula: see text] and positive integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] constrained by [Formula: see text]. To the lowest order of expansion, we find that in analogy with the negative cosmological constant the geometry of the global monopole acts repulsively, i.e. in the absence of a cosmological constant the global monopole plays at large distances the role of a negative cosmological constant.

We study the consequences of the presence of a negative electric charge condensate of antikaons in neutron stars using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω and ϱ mesons, in the presence of electrons and muons, to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase transition to the antikaon condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the antikaon condensate. Assuming neutrino-free matter, we observe a rapid decrease of the electron chemical potential produced by the gradual substitution of electrons by kaons to accomplish electric charge neutrality. The exotic composition of matter in neutron star including antikaon condensation and nucleons can yield a maximum mass of about M ns ~ 1.76 M ⊙.

The objective of this work is to analyze the temperature oscillations that occur in a gas in a circular motion under the action of a Reissner–Nordström gravitational field, verifying the effect of the charge term of the metric on the oscillations. The expression for temperature oscillations follows from Tolman’s law written in Fermi normal coordinates for a comoving observer. The motion of the gas is close to geodesic so the equation of geodesic deviation was used to obtain the expression for temperature oscillations. Then these oscillations are calculated for some compact stars, quark stars, black holes and white dwarfs, using values of electric charge and mass from models found in the literature. Comparing the various models analyzed, it is possible to verify that the role of the charge is the opposite of the mass. While the increase of the mass produces a reduction in the frequencies, amplitude and, in the ratio between the frequencies, the increase of the electric charge produces the inverse effect. In addition, it is shown that if the electric charge is proportional to the mass, the ratio between the frequencies does not depend on the mass, but only on the proportionality factor between charge and mass. The ratios between the frequencies for all the models analyzed (except for supermassive black holes in the extreme limit situations) are close to the [Formula: see text] ratio for twin peak quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies, observed in many galactic black holes and neutron star sources in low-mass X-ray binaries.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common cause of chronic arthritis in childhood and adolescents and encompasses a heterogeneous group of different diseases. Due to the promising results of B-cell depleting therapies in rheumatoid arthritis the role of B-cells in autoimmune diseases has to be discussed in a new context. Additionally, experiments in mouse models have shed new light on the antibody-independent role of B-cells in the development of autoimmune diseases. In this review we will discuss the importance of B-cells in the pathogenesis of JIA appraising the question for an immunological basis of B-cell targeted therapy in JIA.
