[email protected] Abstract The theoretical and phenomenological status of negative energies is reviewed in Quantum Field Theory leading to the conclusion that hope- fully their rehabilitation might only be completed in a modified general relativistic model. 1 Introduction With recent cosmological observations related to supernovae, CMB and galactic clustering the evidence is growing that our universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion at present. Though the most popular way to account for this unex- pected result has been the reintroduction of a cosmological constant or a new kind of dark matter with negative pressure, scalar fields with negative kinetic energy, so-called phantom fields, have recently been proposed [1] [2] [3] as new sources leading to the not excluded possibility that the equation of state param- eter be less than minus one. -
The Negative Energy in Generalized Vaidya Spacetime
universe Communication The Negative Energy in Generalized Vaidya Spacetime Vitalii Vertogradov 1,2 1 Department of the Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, Herzen State Pedagogical University, 191186 St. Petersburg, Russia; [email protected] 2 The SAO RAS, Pulkovskoe Shosse 65, 196140 St. Petersburg, Russia Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 17 September 2020; Published: 22 September 2020 Abstract: In this paper we consider the negative energy problem in generalized Vaidya spacetime. We consider several models where we have the naked singularity as a result of the gravitational collapse. In these models we investigate the geodesics for particles with negative energy when the II type of the matter field satisfies the equation of the state P = ar (a 2 [0 , 1]). Keywords: generalized Vaidya spacetime; naked singularity; black hole; negative energy 1. Introduction In 1969 R. Penrose theoretically predicted the effect of the negative energy formation in the Kerr metric during the process of the decay or the collision. Furthermore, the nature of the geodesics for particles with negative energy was investigated [1,2]. It was shown that in the ergosphere of a rotating black hole closed orbits for such particles are absent. This geodesics must appear from the region inside the gravitational radius. Moreover, there was research devoted to the particles with negative energy in Schwarzschild spacetime which was conducted by A. A. Grib and Yu. V. Pavlov [3]. They showed that the particles with negative energy can exist only in the region inside of the event horizon. However, the Schwarzschild black hole is the eternal one and we must consider the gravitational collapse to speak about the past of the geodesics for particles with negative energy. -

Dark Matter and the Early Universe: a Review Arxiv:2104.11488V1 [Hep-Ph
Dark matter and the early Universe: a review A. Arbey and F. Mahmoudi Univ Lyon, Univ Claude Bernard Lyon 1, CNRS/IN2P3, Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis de Lyon, UMR 5822, 69622 Villeurbanne, France Theoretical Physics Department, CERN, CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland Institut Universitaire de France, 103 boulevard Saint-Michel, 75005 Paris, France Abstract Dark matter represents currently an outstanding problem in both cosmology and particle physics. In this review we discuss the possible explanations for dark matter and the experimental observables which can eventually lead to the discovery of dark matter and its nature, and demonstrate the close interplay between the cosmological properties of the early Universe and the observables used to constrain dark matter models in the context of new physics beyond the Standard Model. arXiv:2104.11488v1 [hep-ph] 23 Apr 2021 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 Standard Cosmological Model 3 2.1 Friedmann-Lema^ıtre-Robertson-Walker model . 4 2.2 A quick story of the Universe . 5 2.3 Big-Bang nucleosynthesis . 8 3 Dark matter(s) 9 3.1 Observational evidences . 9 3.1.1 Galaxies . 9 3.1.2 Galaxy clusters . 10 3.1.3 Large and cosmological scales . 12 3.2 Generic types of dark matter . 14 4 Beyond the standard cosmological model 16 4.1 Dark energy . 17 4.2 Inflation and reheating . 19 4.3 Other models . 20 4.4 Phase transitions . 21 5 Dark matter in particle physics 21 5.1 Dark matter and new physics . 22 5.1.1 Thermal relics . 22 5.1.2 Non-thermal relics . -
A Unifying Theory of Dark Energy and Dark Matter: Negative Masses and Matter Creation Within a Modified ΛCDM Framework J
Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. theory_dark_universe_arxiv c ESO 2018 November 5, 2018 A unifying theory of dark energy and dark matter: Negative masses and matter creation within a modified ΛCDM framework J. S. Farnes1; 2 1 Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC), Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 3QG, UK. e-mail: [email protected]? 2 Department of Astrophysics/IMAPP, Radboud University, PO Box 9010, NL-6500 GL Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Received February 23, 2018 ABSTRACT Dark energy and dark matter constitute 95% of the observable Universe. Yet the physical nature of these two phenomena remains a mystery. Einstein suggested a long-forgotten solution: gravitationally repulsive negative masses, which drive cosmic expansion and cannot coalesce into light-emitting structures. However, contemporary cosmological results are derived upon the reasonable assumption that the Universe only contains positive masses. By reconsidering this assumption, I have constructed a toy model which suggests that both dark phenomena can be unified into a single negative mass fluid. The model is a modified ΛCDM cosmology, and indicates that continuously-created negative masses can resemble the cosmological constant and can flatten the rotation curves of galaxies. The model leads to a cyclic universe with a time-variable Hubble parameter, potentially providing compatibility with the current tension that is emerging in cosmological measurements. In the first three-dimensional N-body simulations of negative mass matter in the scientific literature, this exotic material naturally forms haloes around galaxies that extend to several galactic radii. These haloes are not cuspy. The proposed cosmological model is therefore able to predict the observed distribution of dark matter in galaxies from first principles. -

Some early, non-cmb results have been published already. The first set of cmb temperature data and papers will be released at the beginning of 2013. The full data set, including polarization, is scheduled to be made public in early 2014. Galactic and other astronomical results will continue to be released during this period. I will review the non-cmb results which have been released to date and give previews of what we hope to be able to do with the cosmological data releases. MATTHIAS STEINMETZ AIP - GERMANY NICOLAO FORNENGO UNIVERSITY OF TORINI - ITALY PAOLO SALUCCI SISSA – ITALY “DARK MATTER IN GALAXIES: LEADS TO ITS NATURE” In the past years a wealth of observations has revealed the structural properties of the Dark and Luminous mass distribution in galaxies. These have pointed out to an intriguing scenario. In spirals, the investigation of individual and coadded objects has shown that their rotation curves follow, from their centers out to their virial radii, a Universal profile (URC) that arises from a tuned combination of a stellar disk and of a dark halo. The importance of the latter component decreases with galaxy mass. Individual objects have clearly revealed that the dark halos encompassing the luminous discs have a constant density core. -
Engineering the Quantum Foam
Engineering the Quantum Foam Reginald T. Cahill School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia [email protected] _____________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In 1990 Alcubierre, within the General Relativity model for space-time, proposed a scenario for ‘warp drive’ faster than light travel, in which objects would achieve such speeds by actually being stationary within a bubble of space which itself was moving through space, the idea being that the speed of the bubble was not itself limited by the speed of light. However that scenario required exotic matter to stabilise the boundary of the bubble. Here that proposal is re-examined within the context of the new modelling of space in which space is a quantum system, viz a quantum foam, with on-going classicalisation. This model has lead to the resolution of a number of longstanding problems, including a dynamical explanation for the so-called `dark matter’ effect. It has also given the first evidence of quantum gravity effects, as experimental data has shown that a new dimensionless constant characterising the self-interaction of space is the fine structure constant. The studies here begin the task of examining to what extent the new spatial self-interaction dynamics can play a role in stabilising the boundary without exotic matter, and whether the boundary stabilisation dynamics can be engineered; this would amount to quantum gravity engineering. 1 Introduction The modelling of space within physics has been an enormously challenging task dating back in the modern era to Galileo, mainly because it has proven very difficult, both conceptually and experimentally, to get a ‘handle’ on the phenomenon of space. -
Thermodynamics of Exotic Matter with Constant W = P/E Arxiv:1108.0824
Thermodynamics of exotic matter with constant w = P=E Ernst Trojan and George V. Vlasov Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology PO Box 3, Moscow, 125080, Russia October 25, 2018 Abstract We consider a substance with equation of state P = wE at con- stant w and find that it is an ideal gas of quasi-particles with the wq energy spectrum "p ∼ p that can constitute either regular matter (when w > 0) or exotic matter (when w < 0) in a q-dimensional space. Particularly, an ideal gas of fermions or bosons with the en- 4 3 ergy spectrum "p = m =p in 3-dimensional space will have the pres- sure P = −E. Exotic material, associated with the dark energy at E + P < 0, is also included in analysis. We determine the properties of regular and exotic ideal Fermi gas at zero temperature and derive a low-temperature expansion of its thermodynamical functions at fi- nite temperature. The Fermi level of exotic matter is shifted below the Fermi energy at zero temperature, while the Fermi level of regular matter is always above it. The heat capacity of any fermionic sub- stance is always linear dependent on temperature, but exotic matter has negative entropy and negative heat capacity. 1 Introduction arXiv:1108.0824v2 [cond-mat.stat-mech] 4 Aug 2011 The equation of state (EOS) is a fundamental characteristic of matter. It is a functional link P (E) between the pressure P and the energy density E. Its knowledge allows to predict the behavior of substance which appears in 1 various problems in astrophysics, including cosmology and physics of neutron stars. -

Science fiction writers like to imagine materials that may help to make space travel easier. Negative mass { supposedly causing anti-gravity { is one of the popular ideas in this regard.

In this paper, we show that negative masses are not possible { their existence would enable us to create energy out of nothing, which contradicts to the energy conservation law. 1 Formulation of the Problem Overcoming the force of gravity is an important part of space travel and a significant obstacle preventing many seemingly reasonable space travel schemes to become practical. Science fiction writers like to imagine materials that may help to make space travel easier. Negative mass { supposedly causing anti- gravity { is one of the popular ideas in this regard. But can mass be negative? 2 Reminder: There Are Different Types of Masses To properly answer the question of whether negative masses are possible, it is important to take into account that there are, in principle, three types of masses: 1 • inertial mass mI that describes how an object reacts to a force F : the object's acceleration a is determined by Newton's law mI · a = F ; and • active and passive gravitational mass mA and mP : gravitation force ex- erted by Object 1 with active mass m on Object 2 with passive mass m · m A1 m is equal to F = G · A1 P 2 ; where r is the distance between the P 2 r2 two objects; see, e.g., [1, 3]. -
Dark Matter As a Metric Perturbation

The globally obtained “dynamical mass” of baryonic matter can be understood as a small perturbation to a background spacetime metric even though it’s much larger than the locally obtained “proper mass.” Having successfully fit the SCP Union2.1 SN Ia data without accelerating expansion or a cosmological constant, we employ the same ansatz to compute dynamical mass from proper mass and explain galactic rotation curves (THINGS data), the mass profiles of X-ray clusters (ROSAT and ASCA data) and the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (Planck 2015 data) without DM. We compare our fits to modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), metric skew-tensor gravity (MSTG) and scalar-tensor-vector gravity (STVG) for each data set, respectively, since these modified gravity programs are known to generate good fits to these data. -

Introduction Time is mysterious. Philosophers and scientists have pondered the question of what time might be for centuries and yet till this day, we don’t know what it is. Everyone talks about time, in fact, it’s the most common noun per the Oxford Dictionary. It’s in everything from history to music to culture. Despite time’s mysterious nature there are a lot of things that we can discuss in a logical manner. Time travel on the other hand is even more mysterious. -
Collapsed Dark Matter Structures
Collapsed Dark Matter Structures Matthew R. Buckley and Anthony DiFranzo Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA (Dated: February 14, 2018) The distributions of dark matter and baryons in the Universe are known to be very different: the dark matter resides in extended halos, while a significant fraction of the baryons have radiated away much of their initial energy and fallen deep into the potential wells. This difference in morphology leads to the widely held conclusion that dark matter cannot cool and collapse on any scale. We revisit this assumption, and show that a simple model where dark matter is charged under a \dark electromagnetism" can allow dark matter to form gravitationally collapsed objects with characteris- tic mass scales much smaller than that of a Milky Way-type galaxy. Though the majority of the dark matter in spiral galaxies would remain in the halo, such a model opens the possibility that galaxies and their associated dark matter play host to a significant number of collapsed substructures. The observational signatures of such structures are not well explored, but potentially interesting. Though dark matter outmasses the baryons five-to-one Outside it, the characteristic cooling time is longer than [1], we typically assume the baryonic components are far the infall time. As a result, little of the kinetic and po- more complex than their dark matter equivalents. While tential energy in the halo is lost.
