    Jet quenching parameters of Sakai-Sugimoto Model

    by Yi-Hong Gao, Wei-Shui Xu, Ding-Fang Zeng

    Using gauge theory/string duality, we calculated the jet quenching parameter $\hat{q}$ of the Sakai-Sugimoto model in various phases. Being different from the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory where $\hat{q}\propto T^3$, we find that $\hat{q}\propto T^4/T_d$, where $T_d$ is the critical temperature of the confined/deconfined phase transition. By analyzing the $\hat{q}$ in different phases of this theory, we get better understanding about some statements in previous works, such as the non-universality and the explanation of discrepancies between the theory predictions and experiments.

    NGN, QCD_2 and chiral phase transition from string theory

    by Yi-Hong Gao, Weishui Xu, Ding-Fang Zeng

    We construct a D2-D8-$\bar{D8}$ configuration in string theory, it can be described at low energy by two dimensional field theory. In the weak coupling region, the low energy theory is a nonlocal generalization of Gross-Neveu(GN) model which dynamically breaks the chiral flavor symmetry $U(N_f)_L \times U(N_f)_R$ at large $N_c$ and finite $N_f$. However, in the strong coupling region, we can use the SUGRA/Born-Infeld approximation to describe the low energy dynamics of the system. Also, we analyze the low energy dynamics about the configuration of wrapping the one direction of D2 brane on a circle with anti-periodic boundary condition of fermions. The fermions and scalars on D2 branes get mass and decouple from the low energy theory. The IR dynamics is described by the $QCD_2$ at weak coupling. In the opposite region, the dynamics has a holographic dual description. And we have discussed the phase transition of chiral symmetry breaking at finite temperature. Finally, after performing T-duality, this configuration is related to some other brane configurations.

    Wake of color fields in charged ${\cal N}=4$ SYM plasmas

    by Yi-Hong Gao, Wei-Shui Xu, Ding-Fang Zeng

    The dissipative dynamics of a heavy quark passing through charged thermal plasmas of strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory is studied using AdS/CFT. We compute the linear response of the dilaton field to a test string in the rotating near-extremal D3 brane background, finding the momentum space profile of $<\textrm{tr}F^{2}>$ numerically. Our results naively support the wake picture discussed in hep-th/0605292, provided the rotation parameter is not too large.

    Physics Related with Co-moving Coordinate System

    by Ding-Fang Zeng

    We derive the metric of an expanding universe with zero accelerations by pure kinematic method. By doing so we expatiate physics related with co-moving coordinate system in details. The most important discovery or our study is, in an expanding universe with zero accelerations, the red-shift of photons from distance galaxies is determined by the co-moving coordinate of the source galaxy instead of the scale factor's time dependence. Our discovery is consistent with the current observed super-novaes's luminosity-distance v.s. red-shift relations.

    Hessence: A New View of Quintom Dark Energy

    by Hao Wei, Rong-Gen Cai, Ding-Fang Zeng

    Recently a lot of attention has been drawn to build dark energy model in which the equation-of-state parameter $w$ can cross the phantom divide $w=-1$. One of models to realize crossing the phantom divide is called quintom model, in which two real scalar fields appears, one is a normal scalar field and the other is a phantom-type scalar field. In this paper we propose a non-canonical complex scalar field as the dark energy, which we dub ``hessence'', to implement crossing the phantom divide, in a similar sense as the quintom dark energy model. In the hessence model, the dark energy is described by a single field with an internal degree of freedom rather than two independent real scalar fields. However, the hessence is different from an ordinary complex scalar field, we show that the hessence can avoid the difficulty of the Q-balls formation which gives trouble to the spintessence model (An ordinary complex scalar field acts as the dark energy). Furthermore, we find that, by choosing a proper potential, the hessence could correspond to a Chaplygin gas at late times.

    Does Standard Cosmology Express Cosmological Principle Faithfully?

    by Ding-Fang Zeng, Hai-Jun Zhao

    In 1+1 dimensional case, Einstein equation cannot give us any information on the evolution of the universe because the Einstein tensor of the system is identically zero. We study such a 1+1 dimensional cosmology and find the metric of it according to cosmological principle and special relativity, but the results contradict the usual expression of cosmological principle of standard cosmology. So we doubt in 1+3 dimensional case, cosmological principle is expressed faithfully by standard cosmology.

    Spherical Collapse Model And Dark Energy(II)

    by Ding-Fang Zeng, Yi-Hong Gao

    This is a second paper of a series of two. In this paper, we directly correct the problem pointed out in the first paper of this series, dark energy does not cluster on the scale of galaxy clusters, but the current describing the flowing of dark energies outside the clusters is ignored in almost all the previous papers. We set up and solve a first order differential equation which describes the evolution of the clusters in a back ground universe containing dark energies. From the solution we extract the key parameters of the model and find them depending on the equation of state coefficients of dark energies rather non-trivially. We then apply the results in Press-Scheter theory and calculate the number density of galaxy clusters and its evolutions, we find the observable quantities are strongly affected by the equation of state coefficients of dark energies.

    A Question About Standard Cosmology and Extremely Dense Stars' Collapsing

    by Ding-Fang Zeng, Yi-Hong Gao

    We ask if the conventional variable separation techniques in the studying of standard cosmology and the collapsing of extremely dense stars introduce Newton's absolute space-time concepts. If this is the case, then a completely relative cosmology is needed. We build the basic frame-works for such a cosmology and illustrate that, the observed luminosity-distance v.s. red-shift relations of supernovaes can be explained naturally even without any conception of dark energies.

    Spherical Collapse Model And Dark Energy(I)

    by Ding-Fang Zeng, Yi-Hong Gao

    In existing literatures about the top-hat spherical collapse model of galaxy clusters formation in cosmology containing dark energies, dark energies are usually assumed not to cluster on this scale. But all these literatures ignored the current describing the flowing of dark energies outside the clusters which should exist under this assumption, so the conclusions of these literatures are worth further explorations. In this paper we study this model in QCDM or Phantom-CDM cosmologies(flat) by assuming that dark energies will cluster synchronously with ordinary matters on the scale of galaxy clusters so the dark energy current flowing outside the clusters does not exist at all and find that in this case, the key parameters of the model exhibit rather non-trivial and remarkable dependence on the equation of state coefficients of dark energies. We then apply the results in Press-Scheter theory and calculate the number density of galaxy clusters and its evolutions. We find that this two quantities are both affected exponentially by the equation of state coefficients of dark energies. We leave the study of this model with the assumption that dark energies do not cluster on the scale of galaxy clusters at all as the topic of another paper where similar conclusions will be obtained also.

    Super-horizon Perturbations and CMBA

    by Ding-Fang Zeng, Yi-Hong Gao

    We provided a gedanken experiment and argued that since observers inside a given Hubble volume could not detect the super horizon perturbation modes as real perturbations, these modes could only affect the average value of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), but not its anisotropy properties (CMBA) in that Hubble volume.
