Quantum Gravity in D=5 Dimensions

We propose a topological Chern-Simons term in D=5 dimensions coupled to Einstein Hilbert theory. Hartree approximation for topological Lagrangian and the Chern-Simons term in D=3 is considered. An effective model of Quantum Gravity in D=5 dimensions is presented here. The analysis of residues is considered and the unitarity is guaranteed at tree level. The propagator is ghost and tachyon free.

New Solutions for Evolution of the Scale Factor with a Variable Cosmological Term

The cosmological term is assumed to be a function of time such as $Λ=Ba^{-2}$ where a(t) means the scale factor of standard cosmology. Analytical solutions for radiation dominated epoch and open universe are found. For closed universe, k=+1, and for flat universe, k=0, we show a numerical solution. In general the scenario of Big Bang is preserved in our case for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology.

Non-Abelian Magnetic Monopoles in a Background of Gravitation with Fermions

The purpose of this paper is to study static solution configuration which describes the magnetic monopoles in a scenary where the gravitation is coupled with Higgs, Yang-Mills and fermions. We are looking for analysis of the energy functional and Bogomol'nyi equations. The Einstein equations now take into consideration the fermions' contribution for energy-momentum tensor. The interesting aspect here is to verify that the fermion field gives a contribution for non abelian magnetic field and for potential which minimise the energy functional.

Gödel Type solution with rotation, expansion and closed time-like curves

We propose a time-varying parameter $\underlineα$ for Gödel metric and an energy momentum tensor corresponding to this geometry is found. To satisfy covariance arguments time-varying gravitational and cosmological term are introduced. The ``Einstein's equation'' for this special evolution for the Universe are written down where expansion, rotation and closed time-like curves appear as a combination between standard model, Gödel and steady state properties are obtained.

Some Comments of Vlasov-Liouville Equation and its Relation with Gravitational Field

We discuss here the possibility to write the Liouville-Vlasov equation for the Wigner-function of a spinor field coupled to a gauge field with field strength tensor $F^{μν}$ in a curved space-time versus a local Lorentz manifold (introduction of local Lorentz coordinates) with an appropriate definition of a covariant derivative carried out using a spin connection $B_μ^{ab}(x)$.

Non-Parallel Electric and Magnetic Fields in a Gravitational Background, Stationary Gravitational Waves and Gravitons

The existence of an electromagnetic field with parallel electric and magnetic field components in the presence of a gravitational field is considered. A non-parallel solution is shown to exist. Next, we analyse the possibility of finding stationary gravitational waves in nature. Finally, we construct a D=4 effective quantum gravity model. Tree-level unitarity is verified.

Analysis of Maxwell Equations in a Gravitational Field

In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations, the correponding electromagnetic wave and continuity equations. A particular solution for parellel electric and magnetic fields in a gravitational background is presented. These solutions also satisfy the free-wave equations and the phenomenology suggested by plasma physics.

Weak axial exchange currents for the Bethe-Salpeter equation

We construct weak axial one-boson exchange currents for the Bethe-Salpeter equation, starting from chiral Lagrangians of the N-Δ(1236)-pi-rho-a_1-omega system. The currents fulfil the Ward-Takahashi identities and the matrix element of the full current between the two-body solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation satisfies the PCAC constraint exactly.

Meson - nucleon vertex form factors at finite temperature

In this paper the dependence of meson-nucleon-nucleon vertex form factors is studied as a function of termperature. The results are obtained starting from a zero temperature Bonn potential. The temperature dependence of the vertex form factors and radii is studied in the thermofield dynamics, a real-time operator formalism of finite temperature field theory. It is anticipated that these results will have an impact on the study of relativistic heavy-ion collisions as the critical temperature for the phase transition from hadronic to quark-gluon system is approached.

Spinorial density matrix equation and gauge covariance

In this work we apply the Lie group representation method introduced in the real time formalism for finite-temperature quantum-field theory, thermofield dynamics, to derive a spinorial density matrix equation. Symmetry properties of such equation are analysed, and as a basic result it is shown that one solution is the generalised density matrix operator proposed by Heinz, to deal with gauge covariant kinetic equations. In the same context, preliminary aspects of a Lagrangian formalism to derive kinetic equations, as well as quantum density matrix equations in curved space-time, are discussed.

Galilei covariance and (4,1) de Sitter space

A vector space G is introduced such that the Galilei transformations are considered linear mappings in this manifold. The covariant structure of the Galilei Group (Y. Takahashi, Fortschr. Phys. 36 (1988) 63; 36 (1988) 83) is derived and the tensor analysis is developed. It is shown that the Euclidean space is embedded the (4,1) de Sitter space through in G. This is an interesting and useful aspect, in particular, for the analysis carried out for the Lie algebra of the generators of linear transformations in G.

Chiral Lagrangians and the transition amplitude for radiative muon capture

The transition operator for the radiative capture of mesons mu minus by protons is constructed starting from a chiral Lagrangian of the N-pi-rho-a_1-omega system obtained within the approach of hidden local symmetries. The transition operator is gauge invariant and satisfies exactly the CVC and PCAC equations.

Density dependence of meson - nucleon vertices in nuclear matter

Changes in the meson-nucleon coupling constant and the vertex form factor in nuclear matter are studied in a modified Skyrme Lagrangian including the sigma-meson field that satisfies the scale invariance. Renormalization of the axial-vector coupling constant, and the nucleon mass are studied in a consistent model. The results are consistent with the empirical evidence. A calculation of pi N commutator, sigma-term, indicates that the medium changes its magnitude considerably.

Landau Ginzburg Theory and Nuclear Matter at Finite Temperature

Based on recent studies of the temperature dependence of the energy and specific heat of liquid nuclear matter, a phase transition is suggested at a temperature $\sim .8$ MeV. We apply Landau Ginzburg theory to this transition and determine the behaviour of the energy and specific heat close to the critical temperature in the condensed phase.

Thermal Field Dynamics and Bialgebras

In Thermal Field Dynamics, thermal states are obtained from restrictions of vacuum states on a doubled field algebra. It is shown that the suitably doubled Fock representations of the Heisenberg algebra do not need to be introduced by hand but can be canonically handed down from deformations of the extended Heisenberg bialgebra. No artificial redefinitions of fields are necessary to obtain the thermal representations and the case of arbitrary dimension is considered from the beginning. Our results support a possibly fundamental role of bialgebra structures in defining a general framework for Thermal Field Dynamics.
