Generation of 4d Gauge Theory and Gravity from their 3d versions--Asymptotic Disappearance of Space and Time (ADST) Scenario--

Abstract

An exotic scenario of our universe is proposed in which our universe starts from zero space-time dimensions (0d), namely, a set of discrete points, it increases the (continuous) dimensionality during the cooling down of it, and finally arrives at the present four space-time dimensions (4d). This scenario may be called asymptotic disappearance (or discretization) of space-time (ADST) scenario. The final stage of the scenario is to generate dynamically 4d from the 3d, which is shown to be possible for both gauge theory and gravity, including the standard model. To examine the validity of the scenario, 4d QED generated from its 3d version at high energy is studied, in which one spatial dimension is discretized with a lattice constant $a$. From the LEP2 experiment on $e^+ e^- \to γγ$, $a$ is constrained to satisfy $a \le 461$ GeV. Expected bound on $a$ at future $e^+ e^-$ linear collider is discussed. The finite size of $a$ modifies the dispersion relation, causing the violation of Lorentz symmetry. Then, the paradox of observing 20 TeV $γ$ rays from the active galaxy Markarian 501 may disappear, overcoming the GZK cut.

Analytic approaches to anisotropic holographic superfluids in asymptotically hyperscaling violation geometry

We explore anisotropic holographic superfluidity and find analytic solutions near critical point where superfluid/normalfluid phase transition appears in a holographic dual fluid system. In arXiv:hep-th/1109.4592, the authors obtained such an analytic solution in 5-dimensional Einstein-SU(2)Yang-Mills system, and it is asymptotically AdS$_5$. What is more in this note is that we get analytic solutions near the critical point in 3- and 4- dimensional Einstein-Scalar-U(1)$\times$SU(2)Yang-Mills systems, which become asymptotically hyperscaling violation geometry. We also get leading order back reactions to the background geometry, which clearly shows spatial anisotropy of the bulk geometry. To explore the properties of the spacetime, we compute holographic entanglement entropy and confirm that the superfluid/normalfluid phase transition must occur at the critical point.

Bootstrapping transport in the Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model

The Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model is a simple low energy and long wavelength description of charge transport, parameterised by the current relaxation timescale $τ$, charge diffusivity $D$ and charge compressibility $χ$. We obtain sharp constraints on these parameters in terms of the microscopic energy and length scales of any underlying lattice model with local and bounded interactions. Our primary tools are upper bounds on the retarded Green's function for the charge density in such a setting. We first note that the Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model cannot pertain at microscopic energy scales because it is inconsistent with the exponential suppression of spectral weight at the highest frequencies in a lattice model. Secondly, under the assumption that the low energy dynamics is captured by the model, we obtain a lower bound on the collective mean free path $\ell \equiv \sqrt{τD}$. This bound is shown to imply a version of the Mott-Ioffe-Regel bound: systems with $\ell$ much shorter than the lattice length scale cannot have conventional Drude peaks, in the sense of being captured by the DKM model.

Gravitational form factors of the proton in the improved holographic QCD model

We compute the gluonic contribution to the gravitational form factors of the proton using the improved holographic QCD model, in which the proton is described in terms of bulk Dirac fermions. Model parameters are constrained using lattice and phenomenological input, allowing us to obtain estimates for the gravitational form factors and to compare them with results from other approaches. Using the extracted form factors, we analyze mechanical properties of the proton, including pressure and shear distributions. We obtain estimates for the mechanical and mass radii of the proton, $ρ_{\text{mech}} \approx 0.63$ fm, $ρ_{\text{mass}} \approx 0.65$ fm, and compare these values with radius estimates from other nonperturbative studies.
