    We investigate the effects of background curvature, nontrivial topology and of a planar
    boundary on the properties of the vacuum state for a charged scalar field. The
    background geometry is locally dS with an arbitrary number of toroidally compact
    dimensions. The planar boundary is perpendicular to one of infinite dimensions and on it
    the charged scalar field obeys the Robin boundary...

    Large scale B-mode patterns in CMB polarization, if detected, would constitute a “smoking gun” signature of primordial gravitational waves generated during an inflationary phase in the early universe. In this talk, I will discuss other sources of B-modes, such as primordial magnetic fields, axion-like fields and cosmic strings, and prospects of isolating their distinguishing features with...

    We investigate the polarization of the vacuum for scalar, fermionic and electromagnetic fields induced by cosmic strings. Locally Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter background geometries are considered. As local characteristics of the vacuum the expectation values of the field squared and of the energy-momentum tensor are considered. The contributions induced by the nontrivial topology of...

    We investigate the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the current density for charged quantum fields in background of locally AdS spacetime with an arbitrary number of toroidally compact dimensions and in the presence of a constant gauge field. Along compact dimensions the field operator obeys quasiperiodicity conditions with arbitrary phases. The VEVs for the charge density and the components...

    All known solutions in GR describing rotating cylindrical wormholes lack asymptotic flatness in the radial directions and thus cannot describe wormhole entrances as local objects in our Universe. To overcome this difficulty, wormhole solutions are joined to flat asymptotic regions at some cylindrical surfaces on both sides of the throat. The whole configuration thus consists of three regions,...

    Nowadays strong magnetic field has been observed or expected in compact stars or during
    relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular, magnetars may have a huge magnetic field of
    O(10 15 G) at the surface. We here consider the transport properties of Dirac particles in the
    presence of a strong magnetic field. As a phenomenological implication, the heat conductivity is
    interesting and...

    I will demonstrate how the minimum main sequence mass of the low-mass stars is affected by the Palatini gravity: it turns out that such objects, whose the internal structure is known better in comparison to compact stars, can be used to test modified theories of gravity.

    General introduction to cosmology of modified gravity is given. It is shown that different forms of modified gravity are possible: many of them being consistent with Solar system tests and cosmological bounds. Special attention is paid to F(R) gravity. It is shown that such theory may naturally describe the early-time inflation with late-time acceleration (dark energy epoch). Realistic...

    In cold atoms and in the crust of neutron stars the pairing gap can reach values comparable with the Fermi energy. While in nuclei the neutron gap is smaller, it is still of the order of a few percent of the Fermi energy. The pairing mechanism in these systems is due to short range attractive interactions between fermions and the size of the Cooper pair is either comparable to the...

    The high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy is the most uncertain part of the Equation

    The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. In collisions between heavy nuclei at FAIR energies, it is expected that the matter in the reaction zone is compressed to more than five times saturation density, corresponding to the density in the core of a massive neutron star.

    We consider the formation of structured and massless particles with spin 1 (vector boson), by using the Yang-Mills like stochastic equations system for the group symmetry $SU(2)\otimes U(1)$ without taking into account the nonlinear term characterizing self-action. We prove that, in the first phase of relaxation, as a result of multi-scale random fluctuations of quantum fields, massless...

    We investigate the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the surface energy-momentum tensor for a charged scalar field in a higher dimensional locally anti-de Sitter spacetime with two parallel branes and with a compact dimension (generalized Randall–Sundrum model). The presence of a constant background gauge field is assumed. The latter gives rise to Aharonov-Bohm type effect on the...

    We reconsider the problem of the hyperon puzzle and its suggested
    solution by quark deconfinement within the two-phase approach to hybrid
    compact stars with recently obtained hadronic and quark matter
    equations of state. For the hadronic phase we employ the hypernuclear
    equation of state from the lowest order constrained variational method

    The change in mass of the protoquark stars during their cooling is studied. When a supernova explodes, its central part shrinks so quickly that the lepton charge due to weak processes does not have time to change. Therefore, the chemical equilibrium is established after the formation of the protoquark star with a temperature of 1012 K, when the star's matter is opaque to neutrinos. It is...

    We revisit the Polyakov Loop coupled Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that maintains the Polyakov loop dynamics at zero temperature, which is the most interesting for astrophysical applications. For this purpose we re-examine potential for the deconfinement order parameter at finite baryonic densities.

    It has been recently proposed that late time behavior of holographic complexity in a uncharged black brane solution of Einstein-Hilbert theory with boundary cut off is consistent with Lloyd's bound if we have a cut off behind the horizon. Interestingly, the value of this new cut off is fixed by the boundary cut off. In this paper, we extend this analysis to the charged black holes. Concretely,...

    A class of hybrid compact star equations of state is investigated that joins by a Maxwell construction a low-density phase of hadronic matter, modeled by a relativistic meanfield approach with excluded nucleon volume, with a high-density phase of color superconducting two-flavor quark matter, described within a nonlocal covariant chiral quark model. We find the conditions on the vector meson...

    The 3C315 galaxy and its surroundings were examined. According to galaxies and quasars, there is a lack of galaxies and quasars in that domain. Only 4 of these 35 domains have a lack of quasars and galaxies. The deficit of galaxies and quasars is the reason why there is empty space around the 3C315 galaxie.

    The properties of dense QCD matter are delineated through the construction of equations of state which should be consistent with QCD calculations in the low and high density limits, nuclear laboratory experiments, and the neutron star observations. These constraints, together with the causality condition of the sound velocity, are used to develop the picture of hadron-quark continuity in which...

    We investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium of stellar structure by taking into account the modified Lane'-Emden equation coming from Extended Theories of Gravity. Such an equation is obtained in metric approach by considering the Newtonian limit of Extended Gravity, which gives rise to a modified Poisson equation, and then introducing a relation between pressure and density with polytropic...

    Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (duration ~ ms) but intense (flux ~ Jy) flashes, generally believed to be of extragalactic origin due to their high dispersion measures, which appear in the GHz-band. Currently, there are two sources which are known to repeat, thereby suggesting that there may be at least a subclass of FRBs resulting from transient outbursts of a young, compact object. We...

    The effect of magnetic fields in the equations of state (EoS) of compact objects is the splitting of the pressure in two components, one parallel and the other perpendicular to the magnetic field. This anisotropy suggests the necessity of using structure equations considering the axial symmetry of the magnetized system. In this work, we consider an axially symmetric metric in spherical...

    An effective, multi-polytope equation of state (EoS) model is used to study the so-called “mass twins” scenario, where two compact stars have approximately the same mass but (significant for observation) quite different radii. Stellar mass twin configurations are obtained if a strong first-order phase transition occurs in the interior of a compact star. In the mass-radius diagram of compact...
