We use the newly released observational H(z) data (OHD), the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) shift parameter, and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements data to constrain cosmological parameters of f(R) gravity in Palatini formalism in which the f(R) form is defined as f(R) = R β/Rn. Under the assumption of a spatially flat FRW universe, we get the best fitting results of the free parameters (Ωm0, n). In the calculation, we marginalize the likelihood function over H0 by integrating the probability density P ∝ e-χ2/2 to obtain the best fitting results and the confidence regions in the Ωm0-n plane. The constraints results of (Ωm0, n) = (0.33, 0.41) by OHD only and (Ωm0, n) = (0.23, 0.08) by the combination of OHD+CMB+BAO both indicate that the universe goes through three last phases, i.e., radiation dominated, matter-dominated, and late time accelerated expansion without introduction of dark energy.
Taking a black hole as a black body system, using general black body radiation theory, a Schwarzschild black hole and a Kerr-Newman black hole are investigated respectively. It is concluded that a black hole can be regarded as an ideal general black body system exactly for the changing process only. However, a stationary global black hole cannot be smoothly regarded as a general black body system. A black hole has some special characteristics which different from a general thermodynamics system. This conclusion means that a black hole should be inherently dynamical, at least when it is taken as a black body system.
In the framework of the gravity's rainbow, the asymptotic quasinormal modes of the modified Schwarzschild black holes undergoing a scalar perturbation are investigated. By using the monodromy method, we analytically calculated the asymptotic quasinormal frequencies, which depend on not only the mass parameter of the black hole, but also the particle's energy of the perturbation field. Meanwhile, the real parts of the asymptotic quasinormal modes can be expressed as TH ln 3, which is consistent with Hod's conjecture. In addition, for the quantum corrected black hole, the area spacing is independent of the particle's energy, even though the area itself depends on the particle's energy. And that, by relating the area spectrum to loop quantum gravity, the Barbero-Immirzi parameter is given and it remains the same as from the usual black hole.
Using Parikh’s tunneling method,the Hawking radiation on the apparent horizon of a Vaidya-Bonner black hole is calculated.When the back-reaction of particles is neglected,the thermal spectrum can be precisely obtained.Then,the black hole thermodynamics can be calculated successfully on the apparent horizon.When a relativistic perturbation is applied to the apparent horizon,a similar calculation can also lead to a purely thermal spectrum.The first law of thermodynamics can also be derived successfully at the new supersurface near the apparent horizon.When the event horizon is thought of as a deviation from the apparent horizon,the expressions of the characteristic position and temperature are consistent with the previous viewpoint which asserts that the thermodynamics should be based on the event horizon.It is concluded that the thermodynamics should be constructed exactly on the apparent horizon while the event horizon thermodynamics is just one of the perturbations near the apparent horizon.
In this paper,we apply a simple walk mechanism to the study of the traffic of many indistinguishable particlesin complex networks.The network with particles stands for a particle system,and every vertex in the network standsfor a quantum state with the corresponding energy determined by the vertex degree.Although the particles areindistinguishable,the quantum states can be distinguished.When the many indistinguishable particles walk randomlyin the system for a long enough time and the system reaches dynamic equilibrium,we find that under different restrictiveconditions the particle distributions satisfy different forms,including the Bose-Einstein distribution,the Fermi-Diracdistribution and the non-Fermi distribution(as we temporarily call it).As for the Bose-Einstein distribution,we findthat only if the particle density is larger than zero,with increasing particle density,do more and more particles condensein the lowest energy level.While the particle density is very low,the particle distribution transforms from the quantumstatistical form to the classically statistical form,i.e.,transforms from the Bose distribution or the Fermi distributionto the Boltzmann distribution.The numerical results fit well with the analytical predictions.
Motivated by the recent work that the periodicity of a black hole is responsible for the area spectrum,we exclusively utilize the period of motion of an outgoing wave,which is shown to be related to the vibrational frequency of the perturbed black hole,to study area spectra of a non-rotating BTZ black hole and a rotating BTZ black hole.It is found that the area spectra and entropy spectra for both space times are equally spaced.In addition,we find that though the entropy spectra of the 3-dimensional BTZ black holes take the same form as those of the 4-dimensional black holes,the area spectra depend on the dimension of space times.Our result confirms that the entropy spectrum of a black hole is more fundamental than the area spectrum.
According to Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule,an equally spaced horizon area spectrum of a static,spherically symmetric black hole was obtained under an adiabatic invariant action.This method can be extended to the rotating black holes.As an example,this method is applied to the rotating BTZ black hole and the quantized spectrum of the horizon area is obtained.It is shown that the area spectrum of the rotating BTZ black hole is also equally spaced and irrelevant to the rotating parameter,which is consistent with the Bekenstein conjecture.Specifically,the derivation does not need the quasinormal frequencies and the small angular momentum limit.
The recent work of Nation et al., in which the Hawking radiation energy and entropy flow from a black hole is considered to be produced in a one-dimensional Landauer transport process, is extended to the case of a Reissner- Nordstrom black hole. The energy flow contains not only the contribution of the thermal flux but also that of the particle flux. It is found that the charge can also be transported via the one-dimensional quantum tunnel. Because of the existence of the electrostatic potential, the entropy production rate is shown to be smaller than that of the Schwarzschild black hole.
