Central potential effects induced by Lorentz symmetry violation on modified quantum oscillator field

In this paper, effects of Lorentz symmetry violation determined by a tensor field [Formula: see text] out of the Standard Model Extension on a modified quantum oscillator field in the presence of Cornell-type scalar potential are analyzed. We first introduced a scalar potential [Formula: see text] by modifying the mass square term via transformation [Formula: see text] in the Klein–Gordon equation, and then replace the momentum operator [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an arbitrary function other than [Formula: see text] to study the modified Klein–Gordon oscillator. We solve the wave equation and obtain the analytical bound-states solutions and see the dependence of oscillator frequency [Formula: see text] on the quantum numbers [Formula: see text] as well as on Lorentz-violating parameters with the potential which shows a quantum effect.

Scalar-Torsion Theories in Four Dimensional Static Spacetimes

In this paper, we consider a class of static spacetimes scalar-torsion theories in four dimensioanal static spacetimes with the scalar potential turned on. We discover that the 2-dimensional submanifold must admit constant triplet structures, one of which is the torsion scalar. This indicates that these equations of motion can be reduced to a single highly non-linear ordinary differential equation known as the master equation. Then, we show that there are no exact solution of the scalar-torsion theory in four dimensions considering the Sinh-Gordon potential.

Urban Spatial Structures From Human Flow By Hodge-Kodaira Decomposition

Human flow in cities indicates social activity and can reveal urban spatial structures based on human behaviours for relevant applications. Scalar potential is a mathematical concept, and if successfully introduced, it can provide an intuitive perspective of human flow. However, the definition of such a potential to the origin-destination flow matrix and determination of its plausibility remain unsolved. Here, we apply Hodge-Kodaira decomposition, in which a matrix is uniquely decomposed into a potential-driven (gradient) flow and a curl flow. We depict the potential landscapes in cities due to commuting flow and reveal how the landscapes have been changed or unchanged by years or transport methods. We then determine how well the commuting flow is described by the potential, by evaluating the percentage of the gradient component for metropolitan areas in the USA and show that the gradient component is almost 100% in several areas; in other areas, however, the curl component is dominant, indicating the importance of circular flow along triangles of places. The potential landscape provides an easy-to-use visualisation tool to show the attractive places of human flow and will aid in various applications in commerce, urban design, and epidemic spreading.

General 3D Analytical Method for Eddy-Current Coupling with Halbach Magnet Arrays Based on Magnetic Scalar Potential and H-Functions

Rapid and accurate eddy-current calculation is necessary to analyze eddy-current couplings (ECCs). This paper presents a general 3D analytical method for calculating the magnetic field distributions, eddy currents, and torques of ECCs with different Halbach magnet arrays. By using Fourier decomposition, the magnetization components of Halbach magnet arrays are determined. Then, with a group of H-formulations in the conductor region and Laplacian equations with magnetic scalar potential in the others, analytical magnetic field distributions are predicted and verified by 3D finite element models. Based on Ohm’s law for moving conductors, eddy-current distributions and torques are obtained at different speeds. Finally, the Halbach magnet arrays with different segments are optimized to enhance the fundamental amplitude and reduce the harmonic contents of air-gap flux densities. The proposed method shows its correctness and validation in analyzing and optimizing ECCs with Halbach magnet arrays.

A study of anisotropic compact stars in f(R,ϕ,X) theory of gravity

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of anisotropic compact stars in generalized modified gravity, namely [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] represents the Ricci scalar, [Formula: see text] is the scalar potential function and [Formula: see text] is a kinetic term of [Formula: see text]. We consider the spherically symmetric spacetime to analyze the feasible exposure of compact stars. We observe the behavior of anisotropic compact stars which includes Her X1, SAX J 1808.4-3658 and 4U 1820-30. From the graphical evaluation of energy density, tangential pressure, radial pressure, equilibrium conditions, energy conditions, mass–radius relationship, compactness and stability analysis of compact stars, it is concluded that the behavior of candidates of compact stars is regular in [Formula: see text] gravity for the considered parameter.

A first order dark SU(2) D phase transition with vector dark matter in the light of NANOGrav 12.5 yr data

We study a dark SU(2) D gauge extension of the standard model (SM) with the possibility of a strong first order phase transition (FOPT) taking place below the electroweak scale in the light of NANOGrav 12.5 yr data. As pointed out recently by the NANOGrav collaboration, gravitational waves (GW) from such a FOPT with appropriate strength and nucleation temperature can explain their 12.5 yr data. We impose a classical conformal invariance on the scalar potential of SU(2) D sector involving only a complex scalar doublet with negligible couplings with the SM Higgs. While a FOPT at sub-GeV temperatures can give rise to stochastic GW around nano-Hz frequencies being in agreement with NANOGrav findings, the SU(2) D vector bosons which acquire masses as a result of the FOPT in dark sector, can also serve as dark matter (DM) in the universe. The relic abundance of such vector DM can be generated in a non-thermal manner from the SM bath via scalar portal mixing. We also discuss future sensitivity of gravitational wave experiments to the model parameter space.

Higgs inflation and its extensions and the further refining dS swampland conjecture

On the one hand, Andriot and Roupec (Fortsch Phys, 1800105, 2019) proposed an alternative refined de Sitter conjecture, which gives a natural condition on a combination of the first and second derivatives of the scalar potential (Andriot and Roupec 2019). On the other hand, in our previous article (Liu in Eur Phys J Plus 136:901, 2021) , we have found that Palatini Higgs inflation model is in strong tension with the refined de Sitter swampland conjecture (Liu 2021). Therefore, following our previous research, in this article we examine if Higgs inflation model and its two variations: Palatini Higgs inflation and Higgs-Dilaton model (Rubio in Front Astron Space Sci, 10.3389/fspas.2018.00050, 2019) can satisfy the “further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture” or not. Based on observational data (Ade et al., Phys Rev Lett 121:221301, 2018; Akrami et al., Planck 2018 results. X. Constraints on inflation, arXiv:1807.06211 [astro-ph.CO], 2018; Aghanim et al., Planck 2018 results: VI. Cosmological parameters, arXiv:1807.06209 [astro-ph.CO], 2018), we find that these three inflationary models can always satisfy this new swampland conjecture if only we adjust the relevant parameters a, $$b = 1-a$$ b = 1 - a and q. Therefore, if the “further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture” does indeed hold, then the three inflationary models might all be in “landscape”.

A new de Sitter solution with a weakly warped deformed conifold

We revisit moduli stabilisation for type IIB flux compactifications that include a warped throat region corresponding to a warped deformed conifold, with an anti-D3-brane sitting at its tip. The warping induces a coupling between the conifold’s deformation modulus and the bulk volume modulus in the Kähler potential. Previous works have studied the scalar potential assuming a strong warping such that this coupling term dominates, and found that the anti-D3-brane uplift may destabilise the conifold modulus and/or volume modulus, unless flux numbers within the throat are large, which makes tadpole cancellation a challenge. We explore the regime of parameter space corresponding to a weakly-but-still warped throat, such that the coupling between the conifold and volume moduli is subdominant. We thus discover a new metastable de Sitter solution within the four-dimensional effective field theory. We discuss the position of this de Sitter vacuum in the string theory landscape and swampland.
