Application of the form invariance transformations of the scalar cosmological model in inflation theory

In this work, it is shown that the equations of motion of the scalar field for spatially flat, homogeneous, and isotropic space-time Friedmann-Robertson-Walker have a form-invariance symmetry, which is arising from the form invariance transformation. Form invariance transformation is defined by linear function ρ = n 2 ρ in general case. It is shown the method of getting potential and the scalar field for the power law scale factor. The initial model is always stable at exponent of the scale factor α > 1, but stability of the transformation model depends on index n. Slow roll parameters and spectral induces is obtained and at large α they agree with Planck observation data.

On the polar nature and invariance properties of a thermomechanical theory for continuum-on-continuum homogenization

This paper makes a rigorous case for considering the continuum derived by the homogenization of extensive quantities as a polar medium in which the balances of angular momentum and energy contain contributions due to body couples and couple stresses defined in terms of the underlying microscopic state. The paper also addresses the question of invariance of macroscopic stress and heat flux and form-invariance of the macroscopic balance laws.

Form invariance, topological fluctuations and mass gap of Yang–Mills theory

In order to have a new perspective on the long-standing problem of the mass gap in Yang–Mills theory, we study in this paper the quantum Yang–Mills theory in the presence of topologically nontrivial backgrounds. The topologically stable gauge fields are constrained by the form invariance condition and the topological properties. Obeying these constraints, the known classical solutions to the Yang–Mills equation in the three- and four-dimensional Euclidean spaces are recovered, and the other allowed configurations form the nontrivial topological fluctuations at quantum level. Together, they constitute the background configurations, upon which the quantum Yang–Mills theory can be constructed. We demonstrate that the theory mimics the Higgs mechanism in a certain limit and develops a mass gap at semiclassical level on a flat space with finite size or on a sphere.
