Strong decays of exotic and nonexotic heavy baryons in the chiral quark-soliton model

2017-11-22T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Hyun-Chul Kim, Maxim V. Polyakov, Michał Praszałowicz, and Ghil-Seok Yang

In the large ${N}_{c}$ limit both heavy and light baryons are described by the universal mean field, which allows us to relate the properties of heavy baryons to light ones. With the only input from the decays of light octet baryons (due to the universality of the chiral mean field), excellent descr...

Inflation in a closed universe

Author(s): Bharat Ratra

To derive a power spectrum for energy density inhomogeneities in a closed universe, we study a spatially-closed inflation-modified hot big bang model whose evolutionary history is divided into three epochs: an early slowly-rolling scalar field inflation epoch and the usual radiation and nonrelativis...

Gravitational spin-orbit coupling in binary systems, post-Minkowskian approximation, and effective one-body theory

2017-11-22T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Donato Bini and Thibault Damour

A novel approach for extracting gauge-invariant information about spin-orbit coupling in gravitationally interacting binary systems is introduced. This approach is based on the “scattering holonomy”, i.e. the integration (from the infinite past to the infinite future) of the differential spin evolut...

Massive graviton dark matter with environment dependent mass: A natural explanation of the dark matter-baryon ratio

Author(s): Katsuki Aoki and Shinji Mukohyama

We propose a scenario that can naturally explain the observed dark matter-baryon ratio in the context of bimetric theory with a chameleon field. We introduce two additional gravitational degrees of freedom, the massive graviton and the chameleon field, corresponding to dark matter and dark energy, r...

Author(s): Pedro V. P. Cunha, José A. Font, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu, Nicolas Sanchis-Gual, and Miguel Zilhão

Spherically symmetric bosonic stars are one of the few examples of gravitating solitons that are known to form dynamically, via a classical process of (incomplete) gravitational collapse. As stationary solutions of the Einstein–Klein-Gordon or the Einstein–Proca theory, bosonic stars may also become...

We show that the simplicity constraints, which define the dynamics of spin foam models, imply, and are implied by, the first law of thermodynamics, when the latter is applied to causal diamonds in the quantum spacetime. This result reveals an intimate connection between the holographic nature of gra...

Neutron-antineutron oscillations in nature would violate baryon number and indicate a potential underlying mechanism for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry. Sudbury Neutrino Observatory reports limits on neutron-antineutron oscillations for the first time in deuteron. These limits establish important constraints on beyond-the-Standard-Model scenarios that involve baryon-number violation.
