The entropy of the noncommutative acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle

In this paper we investigate statistical entropy of a 3-dimensional rotating acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle. In our results we obtain an area entropy and a correction term associated with the noncommutative acoustic black hole when $λ$ introduced in the generalized uncertainty principle takes a specific value. However, in this method, it is not needed to introduce the ultraviolet cut-off and divergences are eliminated. Moreover, the small mass approximation is not necessary in the original brick-wall model.

Noncommutative analogue Aharonov-Bohm effect and superresonance

We consider the idea of modeling a rotating acoustic black hole by an idealized draining bathtub vortex which is a planar circulating flow phenomenon with a sink at the origin. We find the acoustic metric for this phenomenon from a noncommutative Abelian Higgs model. As such the acoustic metric not only describes a rotating acoustic black hole but also inherits the noncommutative characteristic of the spacetime. We address the issues of superresonance and analogue Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in this background. We mainly show that the scattering of planar waves by a draining bathtub vortex leads to a modified AB effect and due to spacetime noncommutativity, the phase shift persists even in the limit where the parameters associated with the circulation and draining vanish. Finally, we also find that the analogue AB effect and superresonance are competing phenomena at a noncommutative spacetime.

Analogue Aharonov-Bohm effect in a Lorentz-violating background

In this paper we consider the acoustic black hole metrics obtained from a relativistic fluid under the influence of constant background that violates the Lorentz symmetry to study the analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. We show that the scattering of planar waves by a draining bathtub vortex leads to a modified AB effect and due to the Lorentz symmetry breaking, the phase shift persists even in the limit where the parameters associated with the circulation and draining vanish. In this limit, the Lorentz-violating background forms a conical defect, which is also responsible for the appearance of the analogue AB effect.

Superluminal neutrinos from Lorentz-violating dimension-5 operators

We consider Lorentz- and CPT-violating dimension-5 operators to address the issue of superluminal neutrinos recently pointed out in OPERA experiments. We assume these operators in the photon and neutrino sectors coupled to Lorentz-violating backgrounds in a preferred frame defined by a time-like direction. We show that such operators can produce a curve with OPERA's slope that fits OPERA, MINOS and supernova SN1987a data.

Inflationary Cosmology and Superluminal Neutrinos

We show that in the presence of a distance dependent Lorentz-violating time-like background one may find superluminal neutrinos at some high energy such as OPERA's scale. The similar behavior but approaching the subluminal branch is found to appear for inflaton field in the low energy scale. Thus this scenario seems to be suitable to acomplish both superluminal neutrinos and dark energy.

Supersonic Velocities in Noncommutative Acoustic Black Holes

In this paper we derive Schwarzschild and Kerr - like noncommutative acoustic black hole metrics in the (3+1)-dimensional noncommutative Abelian Higgs model. We have found that the changing in the Hawking temperature T_H due to spacetime noncommutativity account for supersonic velocities and analogously may also account for superluminal particles in the general form (v-c)/c=ΔT_H/8T_H. Assuming this form is also valid for gravitational black holes and particle physics, we have found that for ΔT_H about the heaviest muon neutrino mass and T_H about proton mass gives 2.12\times 10-5 which agrees with the recent OPERA experiments. We also consider the Hawking temperature in terms of surface gravity to address the issue of background influence in the neutrino superluminality to show that our investigations also agree with supernova SN1987A measurements.

Superresonance effect from a rotating acoustic black hole and Lorentz symmetry breaking

We investigate the possibility of the acoustic superresonance phenomenon (analog to the superradiance in black hole physics), i.e., the amplification of a sound wave by reflection from the ergoregion of a rotating acoustic black hole with Lorentz symmetry breaking. For rotating black holes the effect of superradiance corresponds to the situation where the incident waves has reflection coefficient greater than one, and energy is extracted from them. For an acoustic Kerr-like black hole its rate of loss of mass is affected by the Lorentz symmetry breaking. We also have shown that for suitable values of the Lorentz violating parameter a wider spectrum of particle wave function can be scattered with increased amplitude by the acoustic black hole.

Acoustic Black Holes from Abelian Higgs Model with Lorentz Symmetry Breaking

In this paper we derive acoustic black hole metrics in the (3+1) and (2+1)-dimensional Abelian Higgs model with Lorentz symmetry breaking. In this set up the sound waves lose the Lorentz boost invariance and suffer a 'birefringence' effect. We have found acoustic black holes and respective Hawking temperatures depending on the Lorentz violating parameter. Furthermore, we obtain an acoustic Kerr-like black hole metric with the Lorentz violating term affecting its rate of loss of mass. We also have shown that for suitable values of the Lorentz violating parameter a wider spectrum of particle wave function can be scattered with increased amplitude by the acoustic black hole.

The Effective Potential in the Noncommutative Field Theories within the Coherent States Approach

We apply the coherent state approach to study the noncommutative scalar field theory with $ϕ^4$ self-interaction and Yukawa coupling to the spinor field. We verify that, contrarily to the commutative result, the scattering amplitude is ultraviolet finite. However, the $\frac{1}θ$ singularities arise as the noncommutative parameter $θ$ tends to zero. For a special relation between two couplings, these singularities are shown to be cancelled, partially in the massive case and totally in the massless case.

Aharonov-Bohm Effect on Noncommutative Plane: A Coherent State Approach

We apply the coherent state approach to study Aharonov-Bohm effect in the field theory context. We verify that, contrarily to the commutative result, the scattering amplitude is ultraviolet finite. However, we have logarithmic singularities as the noncommutative parameter tends to zero. Thus, the inclusion of a quartic self-interaction for the scalar field is necessary to obtain a smooth commutative limit.

Noncommutative Correction to the Aharonov-Bohm Scattering: a Field Theory Approach

We study a noncommutative nonrelativistic theory in 2+1 dimensions of a scalar field coupled to the Chern-Simons field. In the commutative situation this model has been used to simulate the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the field theory context. We verified that, contrarily to the commutative result, the inclusion of a quartic self-interaction of the scalar field is not necessary to secure the ultraviolet renormalizability of the model. However, to obtain a smooth commutative limit the presence of a quartic gauge invariant self-interaction is required. For small noncommutativity we fix the corrections to the Aharonov-Bohm scattering and prove that up to one-loop the model is free from dangerous infrared/ultraviolet divergences.

Dual equivalence between Self-Dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons models coupled to dynamical U(1) charged matter

We study the equivalence between the self-dual and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) models coupled to dynamical, U(1) charged matter, both fermionic and bosonic. This is done through an iterative procedure of gauge embedding that produces the dual mapping of the self-dual vector field theory into a Maxwell-Chern-Simons version. In both cases, to establish this equivalence a current-current interaction term is needed to render the matter sector unchanged. Moreover, the minimal coupling of the original self-dual model is replaced by a non-minimal magnetic like coupling in the MCS side. Unlike the fermionic instance however, in the bosonic example the dual mapping proposed here leads to a Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory immersed in a field dependent medium.

Self-Dual Model Coupled to Bosons

In this paper we investigated the dynamics, at the quantum level, of the self-dual field minimally coupled to bosons. In this investigation we use the Dirac bracket quantization procedure to quantize the model. Also, the relativistic invariance is tested in connection with the elastic boson-boson scattering amplitudes.
