Joss-Weinberg covariant field with mass and spin $\frac{3}{2}$

We present the explicit theory of the Joss-Weinberg covariant field with spin $\frac{3}{2}$ which is a eight-dimensional massive covariant field transforming according to the representation $(\frac{3}{2},0)\oplus(0, \frac{3}{2})$ of the group $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$. As the transformation matrices of this representation are still unknown, we apply a new method for deriving them using exclusively maximally reducible representations, e. g. $(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)$ instead of the irreducible one $(1,\frac{1}{2})=(1,0)\otimes(0,\frac{1}{2})$ we meet in usual frameworks. After applying this method, we obtain a $12$-component covariant field transforming according to the representation $[(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)]\oplus [(0,1)\otimes(0, \frac{1}{2})]$ which is maximally reducible, up to subspaces of irreducible representations of the $SU(2)$ group. Consequently, after developing the theory in the direct product basis of the representation $(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)$, we can separate the sector of spin half revealing thus the genuine Joss-Weinberg covariant field of spin $\frac{3}{2}$, transforming according to the representation $(\frac{3}{2},0)\oplus(0, \frac{3}{2})$. In this manner the theory of Joss-Weinberg covariant field of spin $\frac{3}{2}$ can be build naturally deriving the field equation and associated matrices, Lagrangian formalism, inner product and the closed expressions of the orthonormal mode spinors.

New charged dynamical particles in spatially flat FLRW space-times

New time-dependent metric tensors with spherical symmetry satisfying the Einstein-Maxwell equations in space-times with FLRW asymptotic behaviour are derived here for the first time. These geometries describe dynamical charged non-rotating black holes hosted by the perfect fluid of the asymptotic FLRW space-times. Their gravitational sources are the stress-energy tensors formed by a contribution of the perfect fluid and an electromagnetic one due to the Coulomb field produced by the time-dependent black-hole charge in the asymptotic FLRW background. The dynamics of these models is determined by the dynamical mass, which may be an arbitrary function of time, and two arbitrary real-valued parameters. The first one simulates the effect of a cosmological constant as in our $κ$-models we proposed recently [I. I. Cotaescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2024) 84:819]. The second parameter relates surprisingly the dynamical black hole charge to the cubic root of the mass function. The role of these parameters is investigated analyzing simple examples of dynamical charged black holes in the matter-dominated universe.

Masses dynamics during black hole evaporation in spatially flat FLRW universes

The new dynamical solutions of Einstein's equations with perfect fluid in space-times with FLRW asymptotic behaviour, derived recently \cite{Cot,Cot1,Cot2}, may describe evaporating black holes whose masses dissipate into dust. The time evolution of the black hole and dust masses of simple models of evaporating black holes are studied using analytical and graphical methods.

Operators of Dirac's theory with mass and axial chemical potential

The Dirac equation with mass and axial chemical potential is solved analytically obtaining the mode spinors and corresponding projection operators giving the spectral representations of the principal conserved operators. In this framework, the odd partner of the Pryce spin operator is defined for the first time showing how these operators may be combined for defining the particle and antiparticle spin and polarization operators of Dirac's theory of massive fermions either in the free case or in the presence of the axial chemical potential. The quantization procedure is applied in both these cases obtaining two distinct operator algebras in which the particle and antiparticle spin and polarization operators take canonical forms. In this approach statistical operators with independent particle and antiparticle vortical chemical potentials may be constructed.

Null energy condition of dynamical black holes in spatially flat FLRW space-times

A new identity reported here for the first time is used for studying how the null energy condition can be applied to the models of dynamical black holes proposed recently [I. I. Cot\u aescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022) 82:86]. It is shown that this condition selects the models with physical meaning whose horizons evolve in accordance with the general black hole theory in frames with null coordinates [S. A. Hayward, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 49} (1994) 6467].

Evaporating black holes in de Sitter expanding universe

Models of evaporating black holes are constructed using the new solutions of Einstein's equations with perfect fluid in space-times with FLRW asymptotic behaviour derived recently [I. I. Cotaescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022) 82:86]. The dynamics of these models is exclusively due to the interplay between black holes and their environments, without resorting to additional matter sources or thermodynamic considerations. During evaporation the black hole mass dissipates into a cloud of dust which replaces the black hole while the background expands tending to the asymptotic one.

Operators of quantum theory of Dirac's free field

The Pryce (e) spin and position operators of the quantum theory of Dirac's free field were re-defined and studied recently with the help of a new spin symmetry and suitable spectral representations [I. I. Cot\u aescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022) 82:1073]. This approach is generalized here associating a pair of integral operators acting directly on particle and antiparticle wave spinors in momentum representation to any integral operator in configuration representation, acting on mode spinors. This framework allows an effective quantization procedure giving a large set of one-particle operators with physical meaning as the spin and orbital parts of the isometry generators, the Pauli-Lubanski and position operators or other spin-type operators proposed so far. A special attention is paid to the operators which mix the particle and antiparticle sectors whose off-diagonal associated operators have oscillating terms producing Zitterbevegung. The principal operators of this type including the usual coordinate operator are derived here for the first time. As an application, it is shown that an apparatus measuring these new observables may prepare and detect one-particle wave-packets moving uniformly without Zitterbewegung or spin dynamics, spreading in time normally as any other relativistic even non-relativistic wave-packet.

New one-parameter models of dynamical particles in spatially flat FLRW space-times

New one-parameter models of non-rotating dynamical particles are derived as isotropic solutions of Einstein's equations with perfect fluid in space-times with FLRW asymptotic behaviour generalizing thus the models proposed recently in [I. I. Cot\u aescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022) 82:86]. These particles are produced by central singularities of the fluid density but without changing the pressure of the asymptotic FLRW space-times. The principal features of these models are investigated using a brief graphical analysis for pointing out the role of the new free parameter. The conclusion is that this gives rise to families of models which behave as non-rotating black holes in the physical space domain bordered by the black hole and cosmological horizons.

Conserved spin operator of Dirac's theory in spatially flat FLRW spacetimes

New conserved spin and orbital angular momentum operators of Dirac's theory on spatially flat FLRW spacetimes are proposed generalizing thus recent results concerning the role of Pryce's spin operator in the flat case [I. I. Cot\u aescu, Eur. Phys. J. C (2022) 82:1073]. These operators split the conserved total angular momentum generating the new spin and orbital symmetries that form the rotations of the isometry groups. The new spin operator is defined and studied in active mode with the help of a suitable spectral representation giving its Fourier transfor. Moreover, in the same manner is defined the operator of the fermion polarization. The orbital angular momentum is derived in passive mode using a new method, inspired by Wigner's theory of induced representations, but working properly only for global rotations. In this approach the quantization is performed finding that the one-particle spin and orbital angular momentum operators have the same form in any FLRW spacetime regardless their concrete geometries given by various scale factors.

The role of Pryce's spin and coordinate operators in the theory of massive Dirac fermions

It is shown that the components of Pryce's spin operator of Dirac's theory are $SU(2)$ generators of a representation carried by the space of Pauli's spinors determining the polarization of the plane wave solutions of Dirac's equation. These operators are conserved via Noether theorem such that new conserved polarization operators can be defined for various polarizations. The corresponding one-particle operators of quantum theory are derived showing how these are related to the isometry generators of the massive Dirac fermions of any polarization, including momentum-dependent ones. In this manner, the problem of separating conserved spin and orbital angular momentum operators is solved naturally. Moreover, the operator proposed by Pryce as mass-center coordinate is studied showing that after quantization this becomes in fact the dipole one-particle operator. As an example, the quantities determining the principal one-particle operators are derived for the first time in momentum-helicity basis.

Discrete symmetries of Dirac's theory in the de Sitter manifold

The discrete symmetries of the Dirac field on the de Sitter manifold are studied taking into account that this has two portions that can play the role of physical space-times, namely the expanding and a collapsing universes. The proper discrete isometries which preserve the portion have a physical meaning in contrast to the improper ones which change the portion remaining thus of a mere mathematical interest. The discrete symmetries generated by the proper isometries and charge conjugation are studied in physical frames on the expanding portion shoving that all the discrete transformations reversing the cosmic time are local depending on a local boost matrix. Thus the discrete group of Dirac's theory in the de Sitter expanding universe is obtained showing that this is of the order 16 having a multiplication table similar to that of Dirac's theory in special relativity. Moreover, all the discrete de Sitter isometries, including the improper ones, are studied in conformal frames for obtaining a global image about the de Sitter isometries in spite of the fact that these cannot be gathered in a larger discrete group with physical meaning.

Canonical quantization of the covariant fields on de Sitter spacetimes

The properties of the covariant quantum fields on de Sitter spacetimes are investigated focusing on the isometry generators and Casimir operators in order to establish the equivalence among the covariant representations and the unitary irreducible ones of the de Sitter isometry group. For the Dirac quantum field it is shown that the spinor covariant representation, transforming the Dirac field under de Sitter isometries, is equivalent with a direct sum of two unitary irreducible representations of the $Sp(2,2)$ group, transforming alike the particle and antiparticle field operators in momentum representation. Their basis generators and Casimir operators are written down finding that the covariant representations are equivalent with unitary irreducible ones from the principal series whose canonical weights are determined by the fermion mass and spin.

Isotropic dynamical black holes

A new type of dynamical black holes is defined in manifolds with flat space sections having the asymptotic behaviour of spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^ itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space-times. These black holes are no longer vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations but preserve the isotropy of the flat space sections of the asymptotic FLRW manifolds.

Light from Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes

We derive for the first time the form of the spiral null geodesics around the photon sphere of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in the de Sitter expanding universe. Moreover, we obtain the principal parameter we need for deriving, according to our method [I. I. Cot\u aescu. {Eur. Phys. J. C.} (2021) 81:32], the black hole shadow and the related redshift as measured by a remote observer situated in the asymptotic zone. We obtain thus a criterion of detecting charged black holes without peculiar velocities when one knows the mass, redshift and the black hole shadow.

Quantum theory of redshift in de Sitter expanding universe

The quantum theory of the Maxwell free field in Coulomb gauge on the de Sitter expanding universe is completed with the technical elements needed for building a coherent quantum theory of redshift. Paying a special attention to the conserved observables and defining the projection operator selecting the detected momenta it is shown that the expectation values of the energies of the emitted and detected photons comply with the Lema\^ itre rule of Hubble's law. Moreover, the quantum corrections to the dispersions of the principal observables and new uncertainty relations are derived.

Kinematics in spatially flat FLRW space-time

The kinematics on spatially flat FLRW space-times is presented for the first time in co-moving local charts with physical coordinates, i. e. the cosmic time and Painlev\' e-type Cartesian space coordinates. It is shown that there exists a conserved momentum which determines the form of the covariant four-momentum on geodesics in terms of physical coordinates. Moreover, with the help of the conserved momentum one identifies the peculiar momentum separating the peculiar and recessional motions without ambiguities. It is shown that the energy and peculiar momentum satisfy the mass-shell condition of special relativity while the recessional momentum does not produce energy. In this framework, the measurements of the kinetic quantities along geodesic performed by different observers are analysed pointing out an energy loss of the massive particles similar to that giving the photon redshift. The examples of the kinematics on the de Sitter expanding universe and a new Milne-type space-time are extensively analysed.

Light from Schwarzschild Black Holes in de Sitter expanding universe

A new method is applied for deriving the redshift and shadow of a Schwarzschild black hole moving freely in the de Sitter expanding universe as recorded by a co-moving remote observer. This method is manly algebraic focusing on the transformation of the conserved quantities under the de Sitter isometry relating the black hole proper co-moving frame to observer's one. Hereby one extracts the general expressions of the redshifts and shadows of the black holes having peculiar velocities but their expressions are too extended to be written down here. Therefore, only some particular cases and intuitive expansions are presented while the complete results are given in an algebraic code on computer \cite{Comp}.

Integral representation of the scalar propagators on the de Sitter expanding universe

A new type of integral representation is proposed for the propagators of the massive Klein-Gordon field minimally coupled to the gravity of the de Sitter expanding universe. This representation encapsulates the effects of the Heaviside step functions of the Feynman propagators making possible for the first time the calculation of Feynman diagrams involving scalar particles on this background. In order to convince that, a simple example is given outlining the amplitudes in the second order of perturbations of the Compton effect in the de Sitter scalar quantum electrodynamics.
