We show how the specific latent heat is relevant to characterize the first-order phase transitions in neutron stars. Our current knowledge of this dynamical quantity strongly depends on the uncertainty bands of Chiral Perturbation Theory and of pQCD calculations and can be used to diagnose progress on the equation of state. We state what is known to be hadron-model independent and without feedback from neutron star observations and, therefore, they can be used to test General Relativity as well as theories beyond GR, such as modified gravity.

AbstractViewing the negative cosmological constant as a dynamical quantity derived from the matter field, we study the weak cosmic censorship conjecture for the higher-dimensional asymptotically AdS Reissner–Nordström black hole. To this end, using the stability assumption of the matter field perturbation and the null energy condition of the matter field, we first derive the first-order and second-order perturbation inequalities containing the variable cosmological constant and its conjugate quantity for the black hole. We prove that the higher-dimensional RN-AdS black hole cannot be destroyed under a second-order approximation of the matter field perturbation process.

AbstractIn oceanic and atmospheric flows, the eddy vorticity flux divergence—denoted “F” herein—emerges as a key dynamical quantity, capturing the average effect of fluctuations on the time-mean circulation. For a barotropic system, F is derived from the horizontal velocity covariance matrix, which itself can be represented geometrically in terms of the so-called variance ellipse. This study proves that F may be decomposed into two different components, with distinct geometric interpretations. The first arises from variations in variance ellipse orientation, and the second arises from variations in the kinetic energy of the anisotropic part of the velocity fluctuations, which can be seen as a function of variance ellipse size and shape. Application of the divergence theorem shows that F integrated over a closed region is explained entirely by separate variations in these two quantities around the region periphery. A further decomposition into four terms shows that only four specific spatial patterns of ellipse variability can give rise to a nonzero eddy vorticity flux divergence. The geometric decomposition offers a new tool for the study of eddy–mean flow interactions, as is illustrated with application to an unstable eastward jet on a beta plane.

Periodicity is ubiquitous in nature. In this work, we analyze the dynamical reasons for which periodic windows, that appear in parameter space diagrams, have different shapes and structures. For that, we make use of a dynamical quantity, called spine — the skeleton of the window, in order to explain a conjecture that describes the presence of periodic windows in the parameter space of high-dimensional chaotic systems.

AbstractThis paper introduces a Riemannian invariant of a compact Riemannian manifold based on the spectral theory for the Jacobi field operator. It is the Floquet exponent for this operator, a purely dynamical quantity computable directly from the asymptotic behavior of Jacobi fields. We show that it is related to certain traces of the Green's function, and we derive further regularity and analyticity properties for the Green's function. In case the geodesic flow is ergodic, the Floquet exponent generalizes the measure entropy, and several entropy estimates follow. An asymptotic expansion of the Floquet exponent gives rise to a sequence of ‘Jacobi invariants’, which are related to the polynomial invariants of the K dV equation.

In Part I** of this series we have introduced the new notion of hypermomentum Δijk as a dynamical quantity characterizing classical matter fields. In Part II, as a preparation for a general relativistic field theory, we look for a geometry of spacetime which will allow for the accomodation of hypermomentum into general relativity. A general linearly connected spacetime with a metric (L4, g) is shown to be the appropriate geometrical framework
