Abstract We investigate the effects of a brane and magnetic-flux-carrying cosmic string on the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the current density for a charged fermionic field in the background geometry of (4+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The brane is parallel to the AdS boundary and the cosmic string is orthogonal to the brane. Two types of boundary conditions are considered on the brane that include the MIT bag boundary condition and the boundary conditions in Z2-symmetric braneworld models. The brane divides the space into two regions with different properties of the vacuum state. The only nonzero component of the current density is along the azimuthal direction and in both the regions the corresponding VEV is decomposed into the brane- free and brane-induced contributions. The latter vanishes on the string and near the string the total current is dominated by the brane-free part. At large distances from the string and in the region between the brane and AdS horizon the decay of the brane-induced current density, as a function of the proper distance, is power-law for both massless and massive fields. For a massive field this behavior is essentially different from that in the Minkowski bulk. In the region between the brane and AdS boundary the large-distance decay of the current density is exponential. Depending on the boundary condition on the brane, the brane-induced contribution is dominant or subdominant in the total current density at large distances from the string. By using the results for fields realizing two inequivalent irreducible representations of the Clifford algebra, the vacuum current density is investigated in C - and P -symmetric fermionic models. Applications are given for a cosmic string in the Randall-Sundrum-type braneworld model with a single brane.

Complete set of cylindrical modes is constructed for the electromagnetic field inside and outside a cylindrical shell in the background of [Formula: see text]-dimensional dS space–time. On the shell, the field obeys the generalized perfect conductor boundary condition. For the Bunch–Davies vacuum state, we evaluate the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the electric field squared and of the energy–momentum tensor. The shell-induced contributions are explicitly extracted. In this way, for points away from the shell, the renormalization is reduced to the one for the VEVs in the boundary-free dS bulk. As a special case, the VEVs are obtained for a cylindrical shell in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski bulk. We show that the shell-induced contribution in the electric field squared is positive for both the interior and exterior regions. The corresponding Casimir–Polder forces are directed toward the shell. The vacuum energy–momentum tensor, in addition to the diagonal components, has a nonzero off-diagonal component corresponding to the energy flux along the direction normal to the shell. This flux is directed from the shell in both the exterior and interior regions. For points near the shell, the leading terms in the asymptotic expansions for the electric field squared and diagonal components of the energy–momentum tensor are obtained from the corresponding expressions in the Minkowski bulk replacing the distance from the shell by the proper distance in the dS bulk. The influence of the gravitational field on the local characteristics of the vacuum is essential at distances from the shell larger than the dS curvature radius. The results are extended for confining boundary conditions of flux tube models in QCD.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a massive charged fermionic quantum field and investigate the current densities induced by a magnetic flux running along the core of an idealized cosmic string in the background geometry of a 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, assuming that an extra dimension is compactified. Along the compact dimension quasi-periodicity condition is imposed on the field with a general phase. Moreover, we admit the presence of a magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis. The latter gives rise to Ahanorov–Bohm-like effect on the vacuum expectation value of the currents. In this setup, only azimuthal and axial current densities take place. The former presents two contributions, with the first one due to the cosmic string in a 5-dimensional AdS spacetime without compact dimension, and the second one being induced by the compactification itself. The latter is an odd function of the magnetic flux along the cosmic string and an even function of the magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis with period equal to the quantum flux. As to the induced axial current, it is an even function of the magnetic flux along the string’s core and an odd function of the magnetic flux enclosed by the compactification perimeter. For untwisted and twisted field along compact dimension, the axial current vanishes. The massless field case is presented as well some asymptotic limits for the parameters of the model.

In this paper we evaluate the Wightman functions associated with a massive quantum scalar field in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes in the presence of a cosmic string. Having these functions we calculate the corresponding renormalized vacuum expectation values of the field squared and present the behavior of the contributions induced by the cosmic string as function of the proper distance to it for different values of the parameter which codify the presence of this linear topological defect.

In the generalized Randall-Sundrum warped brane-world model the cosmological constant induced on the visible brane can be positive or negative. In this paper we investigate profiles of vacuum expectation value of the bulk scalar field under general Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in the generalized warped brane-world model. We show that the VEV profiles generally depend on the value of the brane cosmological constant. We find that the VEV profiles of the bulk scalar field for a visible brane with negative cosmological constant and positive tension are quite distinct from those of Randall-Sundrum model. In addition we show that the VEV profiles for a visible brane with large positive cosmological constant are also different from those of the Randall-Sundrum model. We also verify that Goldberger and Wise mechanism can work under nonzero Dirichlet boundary conditions in the generalized Randall-Sundrum model.

Quantum Stress Tensor

In this paper, we calculate the vacuum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a higher-derivative theory around a thin cosmic string. To this end, we adopt the method to obtain the stress tensor from the effective action developed by Gibbons et al. By their method, the quantum stress tensor of higher-derivative scalar theories without self-interaction is expressed as a simple sum of quantum stress tensors of free massive scalar fields. Unlike the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field squared obtained in the similar model, there appears no reduction of the values near the conical singularity.

Gravitational Influence

The space surrounding a long straight cosmic string is flat but conical. The conical topology implies that such a string focuses light rays or particles passing by opposite sides of the string, which can have important astrophysical effects. The flatness, however, implies that the string has no gravitational influence on matter at rest with respect to the string. The flatness is a consequence of the fact that the tension along a cosmic string is equal to its linear mass density μ. There may be physical effects, however, which destroy the equality of tension and mass density, so that straight strings might after all affect matter at rest. One such effect we and others have calculated is the vacuum fluctuations of fields near the strings induced by the conical topology. Such fluctuation s are physically observable but normally small, as in the Casimir effect between parallel plates. We find the vacuum expectation value of the stress - energy tensor of a conformally coupled scalar field around a cosmic string to be in cylindrical coordinates (t, r, θ, z). The equality of Ttt and Tzz means that the effective tension and mass density of the vacuum fluctuations are equal, so that at least in a semiclassical approximation a string dressed by such fields still has no gravitational influence on matter at rest, even though it has a substantial mass density.

In this paper, it is explained that the role of the cosmological constant in the De Sitter space is similar to that of the preset boundary conditions in the superradiation phenomenon. In the previous literature, superradiance at a given boundary condition can cause the uncertainty principle to be less extreme, and so the uncertainty principle to be less extreme without the given boundary condition, might be one way to prove that the universe is ds spacetime.

The fermionic condensate and current density are investigated in a (2 + 1)-dimensional conical spacetime in the presence of a circular boundary and a magnetic flux. On the boundary the fermionic field obeys the MIT bag boundary condition. For irregular modes, we consider a special case of boundary conditions at the cone apex, when the MIT bag boundary condition is imposed at a finite radius, which is then taken to zero. The condensate and current are periodic functions of the magnetic flux with the period equal to the flux quantum. For both exterior and interior regions, the expectation values are decomposed into boundary-free and boundary-induced parts. In the case of a massless field the boundary-free part in the vacuum expectation value of the charge density vanishes, whereas the presence of the boundary induces nonzero charge density. At distances from the boundary larger than the Compton wavelength of the fermion particle, the condensate and current decay exponentially, with the decay rate depending on the opening angle of the cone.

Understanding de Sitter space in supergravity—and string theory—has led to an intense amount of work for more than two decades, largely motivated by the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe in 1998. In this paper, we consider a non-trivial generalization of unimodular gravity to minimal N = 1 supergravity, which allows for de Sitter solutions without the need of introducing any matter. We formulate a superspace version of the Stückelberg procedure, which restores diffeomorphism and local supersymmetry invariance. This introduces the goldstino associated with spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry in a natural way. The cosmological constant and gravitino mass are related to the vacuum expectation value of the components of a Lagrange multiplier imposing a super-unimodularity condition.
