Considerations on Gravity as an Entropic Force and Entangled States

Verlinde's ideas considered gravity as an emergent force originated from entropic concepts. This hypothesis generated a huge number of papers through the last recent years concerning classical and quantum approaches about the issue. In a recent paper Kobakhidze, using ultra-cold neutrons experiment, claimed that Verlinde's entropic gravity is not correct. In this letter, by considering the nonadditivity property of the holographic screen, where we assumed that the bits are entangled states, we showed that it is possible to confirm Verlinde's formalism.

Duality considerations about the Maxwell-Podolsky theory through the symplectic embedding formalism and spectrum analysis

We find the dual equivalent (gauge invariant) version of the Maxwell theory in D=4 with a Proca-like mass term by using the symplectic embedding method. The dual theory obtained (Maxwell-Podolsky) includes a higher-order derivative term and preserve the gauge symmetry. We also furnish an investigation of the pole structure of the vector propagator by the residue matrix which considers the eventual existence of the negative-norm of the theory.

Superspace Formulation for the BRST Quantization of the Chiral Schwinger Model

It has recently been shown that the Field Antifield quantization of anomalous irreducible gauge theories with closed algebra can be represented in a BRST superspace where the quantum action at one loop order, including the Wess Zumino term, and the anomalies show up as components of the same superfield. We show here how the Chiral Schwinger model can be represented in this formulation.

Non-locally Regularized Field-Antifield Quantization of the Chiral Schwinger Model

The non-local regularization is a powerfull method to regularize theories with an action that can be decomposed in a kinetic and an interacting part. Recently it was shown how to regularize the Batalin-Vilkovisky field-antifield formalism of quantization of gauge theories with the non-local regularization. We compute precisely the anomaly of the Chiral Schwinger model with this extended non-local regularization.

Lagrangian formulation for noncommutative nonlinear systems

In this work we use the well known formalism developed by Faddeev and Jackiw to introduce noncommutativity within two nonlinear systems, the SU(2) Skyrme and O(3) nonlinear sigma models. The final result is the Lagrangian formulations for the noncommutative versions of both models. The possibility of obtaining different noncommutative versions for these nonlinear systems is demonstrated.

Noncommutative cosmological models coupled to a perfect fluid and a cosmological constant

In this work we carry out a noncommutative analysis of several Friedmann-Robert-Walker models, coupled to different types of perfect fluids and in the presence of a cosmological constant. The classical field equations are modified, by the introduction of a shift operator, in order to introduce noncommutativity in these models. We notice that the noncommutative versions of these models show several relevant differences with respect to the correspondent commutative ones.

Electromagnetic waves, gravitational coupling and duality analysis

In this letter we introduce a particular solution for parallel electric and magnetic fields, in a gravitational background, which satisfy free-wave equations and the phenomenology suggested by astrophysical plasma physics. These free-wave equations are computed such that the electric field does not induce the magnetic field and vice-versa. In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations and the corresponding electromagnetic waves. A continuity equation is presented. A commutative and noncommutative analysis of the electromagnetic duality is described.

Radiation damping, noncommutativity and duality

In this work, our main objective is to construct a N=2 supersymmetric extension of the nonrelativistic $(2+1)$-dimensional model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with scalar (electric) and vector (magnetic) interactions by the N=2 superfield technique. We also introduce a dual equivalent action to the radiation damping one using the Noether procedure.

The Jacobi identity for Dirac-like brackets

For redundant second-class constraints the Dirac brackets cannot be defined and new brackets must be introduced. We prove here that the Jacobi identity for the new brackets must hold on the surface of the second-class constraints. In order to illustrate our proof we work out explicitly the cases of a fractional spin particle in 2+1 dimensions and the original Brink-Schwarz massless superparticle in D=10 dimensions in a Lorentz covariant constraints separation.

Noncommutative relativistic particles

We present a relativistic formulation of noncommutative mechanics were the object of noncommutativity $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ is considered as an independent quantity. Its canonical conjugate momentum is also introduced, what permits to obtain an explicit form for the generators of the Lorentz group in the noncommutative case. The theory, which is invariant under reparametrization, generalizes recent nonrelativistic results. Free noncommutative bosonic particles satisfy an extended Klein-Gordon equation depending on two parameters.
