Conformal anomaly for 2d and 4d dilaton coupled spinors

We study quantum dilaton coupled spinors in two and four dimensions. Making classical transformation of metric, dilaton coupled spinor theory is transformed to minimal spinor theory with another metric and in case of 4d spinor also in the background of the non-trivial vector field. This gives the possibility to calculate 2d and 4d dilaton dependent conformal (or Weyl) anomaly in easy way. Anomaly induced effective action for such spinors is derived. In case of 2d, the effective action reproduces, without any extra terms, the term added by hands in the quantum correction for RST model, which is exactly solvable. For 4d spinor the chiral anomaly which depends explicitly from dilaton is also found. As some application we discuss SUSY Black Holes in dilatonic supergravity with WZ type matter and Hawking radiation in the same theory. As another application we investigate spherically reduced Einstein gravity with 2d dilaton coupled fermion anomaly induced effective action and show the existence of quantum corrected Schwarszchild-de Sitter (SdS) (Nariai) BH with multiple horizon.

Two-Boundaries AdS/CFT Correspondence in Dilatonic Gravity

We discuss dilatonic gravity (bulk theory) from the point of view of (generalized) AdS/CFT correspondence. Self-consistent dilatonic background is considered. It may be understood as two boundaries space where AdS boundary appears as infinite boundary and new (singular) boundary occurs at short distances. The two-point correlation function and conformal dimension for minimal and dilaton coupled scalar are found. Even for minimal scalar, the conformal dimension is found to be different on above two boundaries. Hence, new CFT appears in AdS/CFT correspondence at short distances. AdS/CFT correspondence may be understood as interpolating bulk theory between two different CFTs.

Conformal Anomaly in 4D Gravity-Matter Theories Non-minimally Coupled with Dilaton

The conformal anomaly for 4D gravity-matter theories, which are non-minimally coupled with the dilaton, is systematically studied. Special care is taken for: rescaling of fields, treatment of total derivatives, hermiticity of the system operator and choice of measure. Scalar, spinor and vector fields are taken as the matter quantum fields and their explicit conformal anomalies in the gravity-dilaton background are found. The cohomology analysis is done and some new conformal invariants and trivial terms, involving the dilaton, are obtained. The symmetry of the constant shift of the dilaton field plays an important role. The general structure of the conformal anomaly is examined. It is shown that the dilaton affects the conformal anomaly characteristically for each case: 1)[Scalar] The dilaton changes the conformal anomaly only by a new conformal invariant, $I_4$; 2)[Spinor] The dilaton does {\it not} change the conformal anomaly; 3)[Vector] The dilaton changes the conformal anomaly by three new (generalized) conformal invariants, $I_4,I_2,I_{1}$. We present some new anomaly formulae which are useful for practical calculations. Finally, the anomaly induced action is calculated for the dilatonic Wess-Zumino model. We point out that the coefficient of the total derivative term in the conformal anomaly for the 2D scalar coupled to a dilaton is ambiguous. This resolves the disagreement between calculations in refs.\cite{ENO,NO,SI97,KLV} and the result of Hawking-Bousso\cite{BH}.

Quantum (in)stability of 2D charged dilaton black holes and 3D rotating black holes

The quantum properties of charged black holes (BHs) in 2D dilaton-Maxwell gravity (spontaneously compactified from heterotic string) with $N$ dilaton coupled scalars are studied. We first investigate 2D BHs found by McGuigan, Nappi and Yost. Kaluza-Klein reduction of 3D gravity with minimal scalars leads also to 2D dilaton-Maxwell gravity with dilaton coupled scalars and the rotating BH solution found by Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) which can be also described by 2D charged dilatonic BH. Evaluating the one-loop effective action for dilaton coupled scalars in large $N$ (and s-wave approximation for BTZ case), we show that quantum-corrected BHs may evaporate or else anti-evaporate similarly to 4D Nariai BH as is observed by Bousso and Hawking. Higher modes may cause the disintegration of BH in accordance with recent observation by Bousso.

Can Quantum-Corrected BTZ Black Hole Anti-Evaporate?

Kaluza-Klein reduction of 3D gravity with minimal scalars leads to 2D dilaton-Maxwell gravity with dilaton coupled scalars. Evaluating the one-loop effective action for dilaton coupled scalars in large $N$ and s-wave approximation we apply it to study quantum evolution of BTZ black hole. It is shown that quantum-corrected BTZ BH may evaporate or else anti-evaporate similarly to 4D Nariai BH as is observed by Bousso and Hawking. Instable higher modes in the spectrum indicate also the possibility of proliferation of BTZ BH.

Conformal Anomaly for Dilaton Coupled Theories from AdS/CFT Correspondence

Trace anomaly for dilaton coupled conformal theories on curved background with non-zero dilaton is found from supergravity side as an IR effect using AdS/CFT correspondence. For $d=2$ it coincides with the conformal anomaly for dilaton coupled scalar (up to total derivative term which is known to be ambiguous). In four-dimensional case we get conformal anomaly for ${\cal N}=4$ super YM theory interacting with conformal supergravity. In the same way the calculation of dilaton dependent conformal anomaly in higher dimensions seems to be much easier than using standard QFT methods.

Quantum generation of Schwarzschild-de Sitter (Nariai) black holes in effective dilaton-Maxwell gravity

Dilaton coupled electromagnetic field is essential element of low-energy string effective action or it may be considered as result of spherical compactification of Maxwell theory in higher dimensions. The large $N$ and large curvature effective action for $N$ dilaton coupled vectors is calculated. Adding such quantum correction to classical dilaton gravity action we show that effective dilaton-Maxwell gravity under consideration may generate Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes (SdS BHs) with constant dilaton as solutions of the theory. That suggests a mechanism (alternative to BHs production) for quantum generation of SdS BHs in early universe (actually, for quantum creation of inflationary Universe) due to back-reaction of dilaton coupled matter. The possibility of proliferation of anti-de Sitter space is briefly discussed.

Quantum cosmology in the models of 2d and 4d dilatonic supergravity with WZ matter

We consider N=1 two-dimensional (2d) dilatonic supergravity (SG), 2d dilatonic SG obtained by dimensional reduction from N=1 four-dimensional (4d) SG, N=2 2d dilatonic SG and string-inspired 4d dilatonic SG. For all the theories, the corresponding action on a bosonic background is constructed and the interaction with $N$ (dilatonic) Wess-Zumino (WZ) multiplets is presented. Working in the large-N approximation, it is enough to consider the trace anomaly induced effective action due to dilaton-coupled conformal matter as a quantum correction (for 2d models s-waves approximation is additionally used). The equations of motion for all such models with quantum corrections are written in a form convenient for numerical analysis. Their solutions are numerically investigated for 2d and 4d Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) or 4d Kantowski-Sacks Universes with a time-dependent dilaton via exponential dilaton coupling. The evolution of the corresponding quantum cosmological models is given for different choices of initial conditions and theory parameters. In most cases we find quantum singular Universes. Nevertheless, there are examples of Universe non-singular at early times. Hence, it looks unlikely that quantum matter back reaction on dilatonic background (at least in large $N$ approximation) may really help to solve the singularity problem.

Effective Potential for D-brane in Constant Electromagnetic Field

We discuss the one-loop effective potential and static (large $d$) potential for toroidal D-brane described by DBI-action in constant magnetic and in constant electric fields. Explicit calculation is done for membrane case ($p=2$) for both types of external fields and in case of static potential for an arbitrary $p$. In the case of one-loop potential it is found that the presence of magnetic background may stabilize D-brane giving the possibility for non-pointlike ground state configuration. On the same time, constant electrical field acts against stabilization and the correspondent one-loop potential is unbounded from below. The properties of static potential which also has stable minimum are described in detail. The back-reaction of quantum gauge fields to one-loop potential is also evaluated.

Effective Action for Conformal Scalars and Anti-Evaporation of Black Holes

We study the one-loop effective action for $N$ 4D conformally invariant scalars on the spherically symmetric background. The main part of effective action is given by integration of 4D conformal anomaly. This effective action (in large $N$ approximation and partial curvature expansion) is applied to investigate the quantum evolution of Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) black holes of maximal mass. We find that the effect (recently discovered by Bousso and Hawking for $N$ minimal scalars and another approximate effective action) of anti-evaporation of nearly maximal SdS (Nariai) black holes takes also place in the model under consideration. Careful treatment of quantum corrections and perturbations modes of Nariai black hole is given being quite complicated. It is shown that exists also perturbation where black hole radius shrinks, i.e. black hole evaporates. We point out that our result holds for wide class of models including conformal scalars, spinors and vectors. Hence,anti-evaporation of SdS black holes is rather general effect which should be taken into account in quantum gravity considerations.

Trace anomaly induced effective action and 2d black holes for dilaton coupled supersymmetric theories

The action for 2d dilatonic supergravity with dilaton coupled matter and dilaton multiplets is constructed. Trace anomaly and anomaly induced effective action (in components as well as in supersymmetric form) for matter supermultiplet on bosonic background are found. The one-loop effective action and large-$N$ effective action for quantum dilatonic supergravity are also calculated. Using induced effective action one can estimate the back-reaction of dilaton coupled matter to the classical black hole solutions of dilatonic supergravity. That is done on the example of supersymmetric CGHS model with dilaton coupled quantum matter where Hawking radiation which turns out to be zero is calculated. Similar 2d analysis maybe used to study spherically symmetric collapse for other models of 4d supergravity.

Four-dimensional cosmology from dilaton coupled quantum matter in two dimensions

The reduction of 4D Einstein gravity with $N$ minimal scalars leads to specific 2D dilaton gravity with dilaton coupled scalars. Applying s-wave and large $N$ approximation (where large $N$ quantum contribution due to dilaton itself is taken into account) we study 2D cosmology for CGHS model and for reduced Einstein gravity (in both cases with dilaton coupled scalars). Numerical study shows that in most cases we get 2D singular Universe which may correspond to big bang. Nevertheless, big crunch or non-singular Universes are also possible. For reduced 4D Einstein gravity one can regard the obtained 2D cosmology with time-dependent dilaton as 4D Kantowski-Sacks Universe of singular,non-singular or big crunch type.

On the instability of effective potential for non-abelian toroidal D-brane

We calculate the one-loop effective potential for the toroidal non-abelian D-brane in the constant magnetic SU(2) gauge field. The study of its properties shows that the potential is unbounded below. This fact indicates the instability of the non-abelian D-brane in the background under consideration like the instability of chromomagnetic vacuum in SU(2) gauge theory.

Finite Grand Unified Theories and Inflation

A class of finite GUTs in curved spacetime is considered in connection with the cosmological inflation scenario. It is confirmed that the use of the running scalar-gravitational coupling constant in these models helps realizing a successful chaotic inflation. The analyses are made for some different sets of the models.

We construct the theory of 2d dilatonic supergravity(SG) with matter and dilaton supermultiplets coupled to dilaton functions. Trace anomaly and induced effective action for matter supermultiplet are calculated (what gives also large-N effective action for dilatonic SG). Study of black holes and Hawking radiation which turns out to be zero in supersymmetric CGHS model with dilaton coupled matter is presented. In the same way one can study spherically symmetric collapse for other 4d SG using simplified 2d approach.

Effective Lagrangian and static black holes in 2D dilatonic gravity inspired by quantum effects

We study the effective action in 2D dilaton-Maxwell quantum gravity. Working with the one-loop renormalizable subset of such theories, we construct the improved effective Lagrangian which contains curvature under logarithm. This effective Lagrangian leads to new classical dilatonic gravity inspired by quantum effects. The static black holes (BH) solutions which may play the role of a remnant after the Hawking radiation for such theory are carefully investigated. The effective Lagrangian for Gross-Neveu-dilaton gravity is also constructed (in 1/N expansion).

Trace anomaly induced effective action for 2D and 4D dilaton coupled scalars

The spherically symmetric reduction of higher dimensional Einstein-scalar theory leads to lower dimensional dilatonic gravity with dilaton coupled scalar (for example, from 4D to 2D system). We calculate trace anomaly and anomaly induced effective action for 2D and 4D dilaton coupled scalars. The large-N effective action for 2D quantum dilaton-scalar gravity is also found. These 2D results maybe applied for analysis of 4D spherical collapse. The role of new, dilaton dependent terms in trace anomaly for 2D black holes and Hawking radiation is investigated in some specific models of dilatonic gravity which represent modification of CGHS model. The conformal sector for 4D dilatonic gravity is constructed. Quantum back-reaction of dilaton coupled matter is briefly discussed (it may lead to the inflationary Universe with non-trivial dilaton).
