We studied in detail the propagation of a massive tachyonic scalar feld in the background of a fve-dimensional (5�) Einstein–Yang–Mills–Born–Infeld–dilaton black string: the massive Klein–Gordon equation was solved, exactly. Next we obtained complete analytical expressions for the greybody factor, absorption cross section, and decay rate for the tachyonic scalar feld in the geometry under consideration. Te behaviors of the obtained results are graphically represented for diferent values of the theory’s free parameters. We also discuss why tachyons should be used instead of ordinary particles for the analytical derivation of the greybody factor of the dilatonic 5� black string. 1. Introduction of time.

At large N, some of the relevant tachyons are nearly massless and their interactions can be deduced from the S-matrix. The cubic interactions be- tween these tachyons and the massless fields are computed in a closed form using orbifold CFT techniques. The cubic interaction between nearly-massless tachyons with different charges is shown to vanish and thus condensation of one tachyon does not source the others. It is shown that to leading order in N, the quartic contact in- teraction vanishes and the massless exchanges completely account for the four point scattering amplitude. This indicates that it is necessary to go beyond quartic inter- actions or to include other fields to test the conjecture for the height of the tachyon potential. Keywords: closed-string tachyons, orbifolds.

The model involves fermions coupled with a modified Abelian gauge field in a tachyon matter. It reproduces some important QCD features such as, confinement, deconfinement, chiral symmetry and quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) phase transitions. The study may shed light on both light and heavy quark potentials and their string tensions. Flux-tube and Cornell potentials are developed depending on the regime under consideration. Other confining properties such as scalar glueball mass, gluon mass, glueball-meson mixing states, gluon and chiral condensates are exploited as well. The study is focused on two possible regimes, the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared (IR) regimes. I. INTRODUCTION Confinement of heavy quark states QQ¯ is an important subject in both theoretical and experimental study of high temperature QCD matter and quark-gluon-plasma phase (QGP) [1]. The production of heavy quarkonia such as the fundamental state ofcc ¯ in the Relativistic Heavy Iron Collider (RHIC) [2] and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3] provides basics for the study of QGP. Lattice QCD simulations of quarkonium at finite temperature indicates that J= may persists even at T = 1:5Tc [4] i.e.

  • Tachyons and the Preferred Frames
    Tachyons and the preferred frames∗ Jakub Rembieli´nski† Katedra Fizyki Teoretycznej, UniwersytetL´odzki ul. Pomorska 149/153, 90–236L´od´z, Poland Abstract Quantum field theory of space-like particles is investigated in the framework of absolute causality scheme preserving Lorentz symmetry. It is related to an appropriate choice of the synchronization procedure (defi- nition of time). In this formulation existence of field excitations (tachyons) distinguishes an inertial frame (privileged frame of reference) via sponta- neous breaking of the so called synchronization group. In this scheme relativity principle is broken but Lorentz symmetry is exactly preserved in agreement with local properties of the observed world. It is shown that tachyons are associated with unitary orbits of Poincar´emappings induced from SO(2) little group instead of SO(2, 1) one. Therefore the corresponding elementary states are labelled by helicity. The cases of the ± 1 helicity λ = 0 and λ = 2 are investigated in detail and a correspond- ing consistent field theory is proposed. In particular, it is shown that the Dirac-like equation proposed by Chodos et al. [1], inconsistent in the standard formulation of QFT, can be consistently quantized in the pre- sented framework. This allows us to treat more seriously possibility that neutrinos might be fermionic tachyons as it is suggested by experimental data about neutrino masses [2, 3, 4]. arXiv:hep-th/9607232v2 1 Aug 1996 1 Introduction Almost all recent experiments, measuring directly or indirectly the electron and muon neutrino masses, have yielded negative values for the mass square1 [2, 3, 4]. It suggests that these particles might be fermionic tachyons.

  • Supercritical Stability, Transitions and (Pseudo)Tachyons

Highly supercritical strings (c 15) with a time-like linear dilaton provide a large class ≫ of solutions to string theory, in which closed string tachyon condensation is under control (and follows the worldsheet renormalization group flow). In this note we analyze the late-time stability of such backgrounds, including transitions between them. The large friction introduced by the rolling dilaton and the rapid decrease of the string coupling suppress the back-reaction of naive instabilities. In particular, although the graviton, dilaton, and other light fields have negative effective mass squared in the linear dilaton background, the decaying string coupling ensures that their condensation does not cause large back-reaction. Similarly, the copious particles produced in transitions between highly supercritical theories do not back-react significantly on the solution. We discuss these features also in a somewhat more general class of time-dependent backgrounds with stable late-time asymptotics.

Introduction It is of interest to understand cosmological solutions of string theory. Most solutions of general relativity coupled to quantum field theory evolve non-trivially with time, leading to a weakly coupled description only (at best) at asymptotically late times (or only at early times).

  • Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Higgs Mechanism
    Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Higgs mechanism August 2012 Abstract The Higgs mechanism is very powerful: it furnishes a description of the elec- troweak theory in the Standard Model which has a convincing experimental ver- ification. But although the Higgs mechanism had been applied successfully, the conceptual background is not clear. The Higgs mechanism is often presented as spontaneous breaking of a local gauge symmetry. But a local gauge symmetry is rooted in redundancy of description: gauge transformations connect states that cannot be physically distinguished. A gauge symmetry is therefore not a sym- metry of nature, but of our description of nature. The spontaneous breaking of such a symmetry cannot be expected to have physical e↵ects since asymmetries are not reflected in the physics. If spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking cannot have physical e↵ects, this causes conceptual problems for the Higgs mechanism, if taken to be described as spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. In a gauge invariant theory, gauge fixing is necessary to retrieve the physics from the theory. This means that also in a theory with spontaneous gauge sym- metry breaking, a gauge should be fixed. But gauge fixing itself breaks the gauge symmetry, and thereby obscures the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry. It suggests that spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking is not part of the physics, but an unphysical artifact of the redundancy in description. However, the Higgs mechanism can be formulated in a gauge independent way, without spontaneous symmetry breaking. The same outcome as in the account with spontaneous symmetry breaking is obtained. It is concluded that even though spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking cannot have physical consequences, the Higgs mechanism is not in conceptual danger.

  • Holography Inspired Stringy Hadrons Arxiv:1602.00704V4 [Hep-Th] 20
    Holography Inspired Stringy Hadrons Jacob Sonnenschein The Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel November 22, 2016 Abstract Holography inspired stringy hadrons (HISH) is a set of models that describe hadrons: mesons, baryons and glueballs as strings in flat four dimensional space time. The models are based on a \map" from stringy hadrons of holographic confining backgrounds. In this note we review the 5 \derivation" of the models. We start with a brief reminder of the passage from the AdS5 ×S string theory to certain flavored confining holographic models. We then describe the string configurations in holographic backgrounds that correspond to a Wilson line,a meson,a baryon and a glueball. The key ingredients of the four dimensional picture of hadrons are the \string endpoint mass" and the \baryonic string vertex". We determine the classical trajectories of the HISH. We review the current understanding of the quantization of the hadronic strings. We end with a summary of the comparison of the outcome of the HISH models with the PDG data about mesons and baryons. We extract the values of the tension, masses and intercepts from best fits, write down certain predictions for higher excited hadrons and present attempts to identify glueballs. arXiv:1602.00704v4 [hep-th] 20 Nov 2016 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 5 2 From AdS5 × S to confining string backgrounds 5 2.1 Confining background . 5 2.2 Introducing fundamental quarks . 6 2.3 Review of the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model . 6 3 Hadrons as strings in holographic background 10 3.1 The holographic Wilson line .

We find that we can postulate commutation or anticommutation rules for the operators that lead to physically sensible results: causality, for tachyon fields, means that there is no connection between space–time points separated by a timelike interval. Calculating the conserved charge and four-momentum for these fields allows us to interpret the number operators for particles and antiparticles in a consistent manner; and we see that helicity plays a critical role for the spinor field. Some questions about Lorentz invariance are addressed and some remain unresolved; and we show how to handle the group representation for tachyon spinors. Keywords: Field theory; tachyons; quantization. PACS numbers: 03.30.+p, 03.50.−z, 03.65.−w, 03.70.+k, 11.10.−z 1. Introduction What of old habits do we keep and what do we change? That is always the chal- lenging question for theoretical physicists who are seeking to innovate. The idea of tachyons (faster than light particles) has been a fascination of some theorists for many decades;a but few professional colleagues nowadays grant that idea much credibility.
