Entropy correction of Kerr–Newman-AdS black hole in Rastall gravity under Lorentz symmetry violation

The tunneling of scalar particles and fermions across the event horizon of KN-AdS black hole surrounded by perfect fluid in Rastall theory are investigated in the frame dragging coordinate systems by applying modified Klein–Gordon equation and modified Dirac equation under the influence of Lorentz symmetry violation in curved spacetime. The Hawking temperature and the heat capacity of the black hole are modified due to the influence of Lorentz symmetry violation. The Hawking temperature and the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole beyond the semiclassical approximation are also derived by taking the effects of Planck constant [Formula: see text]. The modified Hawking temperature and entropy correction of the black hole are dependent on the Lorentz violation parameter [Formula: see text], the ether-like vectors [Formula: see text] and Planck constant [Formula: see text].

Generalized unitary evolution for symplectic scalar fermions

The theory of symplectic scalar fermion of LeClair and Neubert is studied. The theory evades the conventional spin-statistics theorem because its Hamiltonian is pseudo Hermitian. The definition of pseudo Hermiticity is examined in the interacting and the Heisenberg picture. For states that evolve under pseudo Hermitian Hamiltonians, we define the appropriate inner-product and matrix element of operators that preserve time translation symmetry. The resulting S-matrix is shown to satisfy the generalized unitarity relation. We clarify the derivation of the symplectic currents and charges. By demanding the currents and charges to be pseudo Hermitian, the global symmetry of the free Lagrangian density reduces from Sp(2, ℂ) to SU(2). By explicit calculations, we show that the LeClair-Neubert model of N quartic self-interacting scalar fermions admits generalized unitary evolution.

Irrelevant and marginal deformed BMS field theories

In this study, we investigate various deformations within the framework of Bondi-van der Burg-Metzner-Sachs invariant field theory (BMSFT). Specifically, we explore the impact of Bondi-van der Burg-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetry on the theory by introducing key deformations, namely, TT¯\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ T\\overline{T} $$\\end{document}, JTμ, and TT¯\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ \\sqrt{T\\overline{T}} $$\\end{document} deformations. In the context of generic seed theories possessing BMS symmetry, we derive the first-order correction of correlation functions using the systematic application of BMS symmetry ward identities. However, it is worth noting that higher-order corrections are intricately dependent on the specific characteristics of the seed theories. To illustrate our findings, we select the BMS free scalar and free fermion as representative seed theories. We then proceed to analytically determine the deformed action by solving the nontrivial flow equations. Additionally, we extend our analysis to include second-order deformations within these deformed theories.

Explorations in scalar fermion theories: β-functions, supersymmetry and fixed points

Results for β-functions and anomalous dimensions in general scalar fermion theories are presented to three loops. Various constraints on the individual coefficients for each diagram following from supersymmetry are analysed. The results are used to discuss potential fixed points in the ε-expansion for scalar fermion theories, with arbitrary numbers of scalar fields, and where there are just two scalar couplings and one Yukawa coupling. For different examples the fixed points follow a similar pattern as the numbers of fermions is varied. For diagrams with subdivergences there are extensive consistency constraints arising from the existence of a perturbative a-function and these are analysed in detail. Further arbitrary scheme variations which preserve the form of β functions and anomalous dimensions in terms of 1PI diagrams are also discussed. The existence of linear and quadratic scheme invariants is demonstrated and the consistency condition are shown to be expressible in terms of these invariants.

Exploring dark matter-gauge boson effective interactions at current and future colliders* *RD is Supported in part by the National Key R&D Programme of China (2021YFC2203100). YZ is Supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (11805001) and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (JZ2023HGTB0222)

In this study, we systematically investigate collider constraints on effective interactions between Dark Matter (DM) particles and electroweak gauge bosons. We consider the simplified models in which scalar or Dirac fermion DM candidates couple only to electroweak gauge bosons through high dimensional effective operators. Considering the induced DM-quarks and DM-gluons operators from the Renormalization Group Evolution (RGE) running effect, we present comprehensive constraints on the effective energy scale Λ and Wilson coefficients from direct detection, indirect detection, and collider searches. In particular, we present the corresponding sensitivity from the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) and Future Circular Collider in the electron-proton mode (FCC-ep) for the first time, update the mono-j and mono-γ search limits at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and derive the new limits at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC).

Gauge boson mass dependence and chiral anomalies in generalized massless Schwinger models

I bosonize the position-space correlators of flavor-diagonal scalar fermion bilinears in arbitrary generalizations of the Schwinger model with nF massless fermions coupled to nA gauge bosons for nF ≥ nA. For nA = nF, the fermion bilinears can be bosonized in terms of nF scalars with masses proportional to the gauge couplings. As in the Schwinger model, bosonization can be used to find all correlators, including those that are forbidden in perturbation theory by anomalous chiral symmetries, but there are subtleties when there is more than one gauge boson. The new result here is the general treatment of the dependence on gauge boson masses in models with more than one gauge symmetry. For nA < nF, there are fermion bilinears with nontrivial anomalous dimensions and there are unbroken chiral symmetries so some correlators vanish while others are non-zero due to chiral anomlies. Taking careful account of the dependence on the masses, I show how the nA < nF models emerge from nA = nF as gauge couplings (and thus gauge boson masses) go to zero. When this is done properly, the limit of zero gauge coupling is smooth. Our consistent treatment of gauge boson masses guarantees that anomalous symmetries are broken while unbroken chiral symmetries are preserved because correlators that break the non-anomalous symmetries go to zero in the limit of zero gauge coupling.

Exotic spin-dependent interactions through unparticle exchange

The potential discovery of unparticles could have far-reaching implications for particle physics and cosmology. For over a decade, high-energy physicists have extensively studied the effects of unparticles. In this study, we derive six types of nonrelativistic potentials between fermions induced by unparticle exchange in coordinate space. We consider all possible combinations of scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector, and axial-vector couplings to explore the full range of possibilities. Previous studies have only examined scalar-scalar (SS), pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar (PP), vector-vector (VV), and axial-axial-vector (AA) type interactions, which are all parity even. We propose SP and VA interactions to extend our understanding of unparticle physics, noting that parity conservation is not always guaranteed in modern physics. We explore the possibilities of detecting unparticles through the long-range interactions they may mediate with ordinary matter. Dedicated experiments using precision measurement methods can be employed to search for such interactions. We discuss the properties of these potentials and estimate constraints on their coupling constants based on existing experimental data. Our findings indicate that for some particular values of the scaling dimension dU\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {d}_{\\mathcal{U}} $$\\end{document}, the coupling between scalar or vector unparticles and fermions is constrained by several orders of magnitude more tightly than the previous limits.

Linear response of entanglement entropy to Toverline{T} in massive QFTs

We compute the leading correction to entanglement entropy in Toverline{T} deformed massive QFTs. We show that both for massive scalar and Dirac fermion, the leading order correction to the entanglement entropy of half space comes from the boundary of the entangling surface. For the case of massive scalar, the boundary term is finite while for massive fermion, it diverges logarithmically giving rise to an additional log-square divergence in the entanglement entropy.

The stability analysis of the extended singlet scalar model with two high scale minima

We study the simplest viable dark matter (DM) model with a real singlet scalar, vector-like singlet, and doublet fermions. The Yukawa couplings associated with the fermion sector are important in obtaining the current DM relic density through Freeze-out and Freeze-in mechanisms. In addition to the standard model-like high scale minima along the Higgs field, we find other high scale minima along the singlet scalar field direction. The other minima appears due to the renormalization group evolutions of the couplings involving the gauge sector, Higgs portal, and the new Yukawa sector. A detailed study of the parameter space identifying the region of electroweak vacuum stability and metastability along different directions of the scalar field is carried out using different phase diagrams.

Flavour anomalies and dark matter assisted unification in SO(10) GUT

With the recent experimental hint of new physics from flavor physics anomalies, combined with the evidence from neutrino masses and dark matter, we consider a minimal extension of SM with a scalar leptoquark and a fermion triplet. The scalar leptoquark with couplings to leptons and quarks can explain lepton flavor non-universality observables RK, {R}_{K^{left(ast right)}} , {R}_{D^{left(ast right)}} and RJ/ψ. Neutral component of fermion triplet provides current abundance of dark matter in the Universe. The interesting feature of the proposal is that the minimal addition of these phenomenologically rich particles (scalar leptoquark and fermion triplet) assist in realizing the unification of the gauge couplings associated with the strong and electroweak forces of standard model when embedded in the non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory. We discuss on unification mass scale and the corresponding proton decay constraints while taking into account the GUT threshold corrections.

Scalar–fermion interaction as the driver of cosmic acceleration

We argue that an interacting scalar-fermion distribution can be used to demonstrate the cosmic acceleration in General Relativity. The interaction is of Yukawa nature and it drives the fermion density to decay with cosmic time. The consistency of the model is established through, (a) a generalization of the O m ( z ) parameter, the present matter density contrast of the universe and (b) a comparison of theoretical results with observational data, using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo code. A simple toy model of unified cosmic expansion history is also discussed, where the universe goes through transitions between subsequent epochs with different patterns of cosmic expansion. These patterns impose some constraints on the scalar-fermion interaction profile and on the overall cosmological dynamics.

GUP-corrected thermodynamics and remnant of a black hole in Horndeski theory

This paper is devoted to study the effects of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on Hawking radiation of scalar particles and fermions tunneling of Babichev–Charmousis black hole by using Hamilton–Jacobi method. To this end, we modify the Klein–Gordon equation (K-G equation) and Dirac equation firstly on account of GUP. Then, we apply the semiclassical WKB approximation to derive the corrected Hawking temperature of scalar particles and fermions tunneling process and corresponding corrected thermodynamics quantities of this black hole. We find that the corrected temperature depends on GUP parameter [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, the existence of minimal mass and minimal entropy implies that when the evaporation of the black hole stops, it will leave a remnant.

The production of particles with well determined angular momentum in external Coulomb field on de Sitter expanding universe

We study pair production processes from vacuum of scalar particles and fermions in the presence of an external Coulomb field on de Sitter expanding universe assuming that, the quantum fields are minimally coupled with gravity. Our study is done in the chart with spherical space coordinates and the produced particles are described by the spherical wave solutions of the field equations. In this chart we define the transition amplitude in the first order of perturbation theory and we obtain for the first time the dependence of the probability on the angular quantum numbers. Our analytical results show that, the angular momentum of the produced particles is conserved in the sense that the quantum numbers are related through the following relations: ℓ=ℓ′ and m=−m′. Our graphical results show that, the most probable transitions are those that generate particles with small angular momentum. We obtain that, this process is significant when the Hubble's constant is large and vanishes in the Minkowski limit.

Revisiting the scotogenic model with scalar dark matter

Abstract The scotogenic model is a well motivated scenario that provides both an explanation for neutrino masses and for dark matter (DM). We focus on a real scalar DM candidate in this model, produced through standard thermal freeze-out. We analyze the parameter space of the model compatible with the observed DM relic abundance, direct and indirect detection searches, limits from lepton flavour violating decays and constraints from the neutrino sector. As the mass differences of the DM with the neutral and charged states are found to be small, the new scalars and fermions of the theory will have macroscopic lifetimes, and could thus be potentially detected with long-lived particle signatures at colliders. We find regions in the parameter space to be—partially or fully—consistent with the DM relic abundance, and the prediction of a long-lived charged scalar or lightest neutral fermion in the scotogenic scenario, for DM masses below 500 GeV. We discuss on the collider phenomenology in some detail.

Hawking radiation of scalar particles and fermions from squashed Kaluza–Klein black holes based on a generalized uncertainty principle

We study the Hawking radiation from the five-dimensional charged static squashed Kaluza–Klein black hole by the tunneling of charged scalar particles and charged fermions. In contrast to the previous studies of Hawking radiation from squashed Kaluza–Klein black holes, we consider the phenomenological quantum gravity effects predicted by the generalized uncertainty principle with the minimal measurable length. We derive corrections of the Hawking temperature to general relativity, which are related to the energy of the emitted particle, the size of the compact extra dimension, the charge of the black hole and the existence of the minimal length in the squashed Kaluza–Klein geometry. We obtain some known Hawking temperatures in five and four-dimensional black hole spacetimes by taking limits in the modified temperature. We show that the generalized uncertainty principle may slow down the increase of the Hawking temperature due to the radiation, which may lead to the thermodynamic stable remnant of the order of the Planck mass after the evaporation of the squashed Kaluza–Klein black hole. We also find that the sparsity of the Hawking radiation modified by the generalized uncertainty principle may become infinite when the mass of the squashed Kaluza–Klein black hole approaches its remnant mass.

Cosmological Evolution of a Statistical System of Degenerate Scalarly Charged Fermions with an Asymmetric Scalar Doublet. II. One-Component System of Doubly Charged Fermions$${}^{a}$$

Based on the previously formulated mathematical model of a statistical system with scalar interaction of fermions, a cosmological model based on a one-component statistical system of doubly scalar charged degenerate fermions interacting with an asymmetric scalar doublet-canonical and phantom scalar fields-is studied. The connection of the presented model with previously studied models based on one-component and two-component fermion systems is investigated. The asymptotic and limiting properties of the cosmological model are investigated, it is shown that among all models there is a class of models with a finite lifetime. The asymptotic behavior of models near the corresponding singularities is investigated, a qualitative analysis of the corresponding dynamical system is carried out, and numerical implementations of such models are constructed. Based on numerical integration, it is shown that in the presented model there can be transitions from a stable asymptotically vacuum state with a zero canonical field and a constant phantom field corresponding to the phase of cosmological compression to a symmetric state corresponding to the expansion phase. The time interval of the transition between phases is accompanied by oscillations of the canonical scalar field.

Bound-state formation, dissociation and decays of darkonium with potential non-relativistic Yukawa theory for scalar and pseudoscalar mediators

Dark matter models with light mediators featuring sizable interactions among dark particles enjoy an increasing attention in the model building community due to the elegance with which they can potentially explain the scaling relations governing galactic halos and clusters of galaxies. In the present work we continue our study of such models using non-relativistic and potential non-relativistic effective field theories (NREFTs and pNREFTs) and explore the properties of a Yukawa-type model with scalar and pseudoscalar interactions between a low-energetic scalar mediator and heavy dark matter fermions. In particular, we make first steps towards the formulation of such theories at finite temperature by providing the thermal bound-state formation rate and the thermal break-up of bound states from the self-energies of the dark-pair fields, that interact with the thermal environment. We estimate numerically bound-state effects on the dark matter energy density, that provide up to a 35% correction depending on the relative size of the model couplings.

Position-space representation of charged particles\u2019 propagators in a constant magnetic field as an expansion over Landau levels

We have obtained propagators in the position space as an expansion over Landau levels for the charged scalar particle, fermion, and massive vector boson in a constant external magnetic field. The summation terms in the resulting expressions consisted of two factors, one being rotationally invariant in the 2-dimensional Euclidean space perpendicular to the direction of the field, and the other being Lorentz-invariant in the 1+1-dimensional space-time. The obtained representations are unique in the sense that they allow for the simultaneous study of the propagator from both space-time and energetic perspectives which are implicitly connected. These results contribute to the development of position-space techniques in QFT and are expected to be of use in the calculations of loop diagrams.

The FIMP-WIMP dark matter in the extended singlet scalar model

We explore the simplest viable dark matter model with a real singlet scalar, vector-like singlet and doublet fermions. The Yukawa couplings associated with the fermion sector play a crucial role in getting the current relic density through Freeze-in and Freeze-out mechanism. We discuss the constraints from the recent muon anomalous magnetic moment experimental data and relic density. We also perform the collider analysis for the FIMP dark matter in the context of 14 TeV LHC experiments with the MATHUSLA100/200 detector. Our analysis shows that one can get enough events >3 for heavy charged fermion track at 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity L=106fb−1.

Cosmological models based on a statistical system of scalar charged degenerate fermions and an asymmetric Higgs scalar doublet

On the basis of the general relativistic statistical and kinetic theory, a consistent closed cosmological model is formulated. It is based on a statistical system of scalar charged fermions interacting by means of classical and phantom scalar fields. Based on the study of the microscopic dynamics of scalar charged particles, within the framework of the Lagrangian as well as Hamiltonian formalism, a function of the dynamic mass of scalar charged particles was constructed and it was shown that for the consistency of the theory, it is necessary to remove the nonnegativity condition for this function. On the basis of the Lagrangian formalism, equations of gravitational and scalar fields with singular sources are formulated and microscopic conservation laws are obtained. Within the framework of the general relativistic kinetic theory, macroscopic equations of gravitational and scalar fields are formulated and macroscopic conservation laws are obtained. These equations' full correspondence to microscopic equations with singular sources is shown. Further, on the basis of the obtained equations, a cosmological model for a degenerate system of scalarly charged fermions is formulated. An exact solution of the constitutive equations for a degenerate scalar-charged plasma in the cosmological model is obtained, which made it possible to significantly simplify the original system of equations. On the basis of the obtained solution of the constitutive equations, two fundamentally different cosmological models are formulated, one of which has two types of singly scalarly charged fermions, while the second has one kind of fermions charged with two charges of various nature. A qualitative analysis of the obtained 6-dimensional dynamic system for a two-component model is carried out.
