A Current

Considering the commutators between a scalar field and a conserved current, we shall clarify the connection between the mass spectrum for a scalar field and the structures of a current. For a special form of currents involving c-number functions, non-invariance of the vacuum under the corresponding transformation entails the existence of a massive mode. It is shown that once a type of currents is specified, the pole structures for [Formula: see text] depend only on c-number parts of Jμ(x). We shall show that the non-vanishing Goldstone commutator does not automatically imply the degeneracy of the vacuum state, and discuss the applicability of the Goldstone theorem.

By adding the constraint equation [Formula: see text] on the generator G to our formulation exploited in the previous article under the same title (M. Shintani, Can. J. Phys. 58, 463 (1980)), we present a Lorentz-covariant approach to the generalized Goldstone theorem which applies even when the conserved current involves non-trivial c-number functions. As a result of the constraint equation, we derive a new key equation. By solving a new key equation together with the other key equations already obtained in the first part of this series, we can eliminate the massive mode and extract only the Goldstone modes. It is shown that any generator is either a relevant generator or an irrelevant one.

We present a new classification scheme for the currents Jμ(x) = Qμν(x)Cν(x) in terms of the solutions of the Killing equations for Cμ(x). The new scheme enables us to treat any coordinate transformations (e.g., special conformal transformations), and to discuss the mass spectra for the scalar particles in a conformally-invariant system. Moreover, with the aid of the generalized Goldstone theorem exploited in the previous article under the same title, we shall point out the nonexistence of the Goldstone boson with regard to the special conformal transformations.

Intrinsic Feature

Evidence for the primordial black holes (PBH) presence in the early Universe renews permanently. New limits on their mass spectrum challenge existing models of PBH formation. One of the known models is based on the closed walls collapse after the inflationary epoch. Its intrinsic feature is the multiple production of small mass PBH which might contradict observations in the nearest future. We show that the mechanism of walls collapse can be applied to produce substantially different PBH mass spectra if one takes into account the classical motion of scalar fields together with their quantum fluctuations at the inflationary stage. Analytical formulas have been developed that contain both quantum and classical contributions.

Abstract We study the model of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Λ theory minimally coupled to a massive charged self-interacting scalar field, parameterized by the quartic and hexic couplings, labelled by λ and β, respectively. In the absence of scalar field, there is a class of counterexamples to cosmic censorship. Moreover, we investigate the full nonlinear solution with nonzero scalar field included, and argue that these counterexamples can be removed by assuming charged self-interacting scalar field with sufficiently large charge not lower than a certain bound. In particular, this bound on charge required to preserve cosmic censorship is no longer precisely the weak gravity bound for the free scalar theory. For the quartic coupling, for λ < 0 the bound is below the one for the free scalar fields, whereas for λ > 0 it is above. Meanwhile, for the hexic coupling the bound is always above the one for the free scalar fields, irrespective of the sign of β.

Constant Type

From a variational action with nonminimal coupling with a scalar field and classical scalar and fermionic interaction, cosmological field equations can be obtained. Imposing a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric, the equations lead directly to a cosmological model consisting of two interacting fluids, where the scalar field fluid is interpreted as dark energy and the fermionic field fluid is interpreted as dark matter. Several cases were studied analytically and numerically. An important feature of the non-minimal coupling is that it allows crossing the barrier from a quintessence to phantom behavior. The insensitivity of the solutions to one of the parameters of the model permits it to find an almost analytical solution for the cosmological constant type of universe.

The Mean

The two interacting complex scalar fields at finite density is considered in the mean field approximation. It is shown that although the symmetry is spontaneously broken for the chemical potentials bigger than the meson masses in vacuum, but the Goldstone theorem is not preserved in broken phase. Then two mesons are condensed and their condensates turn out to be two-gap superconductor which is signaled by the appearance of the Meissner effect as well as the Abrikosov and non-Abrikosov vortices. Finally, there exhibits domain wall which is the plane, where two condensates flowing in opposite directions collide and generate two types of vortices with cores in the wall.

We prove that a recently derived correlation equality between conserved charges and their associated conserved currents for quantum systems far from equilibrium [O.A. Castro-Alvaredo, B. Doyon, and T. Yoshimura, Phys. Rev. X 6, 041065 (2016)], is valid under more general conditions than assumed so far. Similar correlation identities, which in generalized Gibbs ensembles give rise to a current symmetry somewhat reminiscent of the Onsager relations, turn out to hold also in the absence of translation invariance, for lattice models, and in any space dimension, and to imply a symmetry of the non-equilibrium linear response functions.

AbstractWe present, for the first time, the quantization process for the Einstein-aether scalar field cosmology. We consider a cosmological theory proposed as a Lorentz violating inflationary model, where the aether and scalar fields interact through the assumption that the aether action constants are ultra-local functions of the scalar field. For this specific theory there is a valid minisuperspace description which we use to quantize. For a particular relation between the two free functions entering the reduced Lagrangian the solution to the Wheeler–DeWitt equation as also the generic classical solution are presented for any given arbitrary potential function.

We study the braneworld theory constructed by multi scalar fields. The model contains a smooth and infinitely large extra dimension, allowing the background fields propagating in it. We give a de Sitter solution for the four-dimensional cosmology as a good approximation to the early universe inflation. We show that the graviton has a localizable massless mode, and a series of continuous massive modes, separated by a mass gap. There could be a normalizable massive mode, depending on the background solution. The gravitational waves of massless mode evolve the same as the four dimensional theory, while that of the massive modes evolve greatly different from the massless mode.
