Abstract

The spectrum of small perturbations about oscillating bounce solutions recently discussed in the literature is investigated. Our study supports quite intuitive and expected result: the bounce with N nodes has exactly N homogeneous negative modes. Existence of more than one negative modes makes obscure the relation of these oscillating bounce solutions to the false vacuum decay processes.

Stabilization of tearing modes by oscillating the resonant surface

Journal Article Yang Xiaoqing ; Wang Shaojie ; Yang Weihong - Physics of Plasmas

The effects of the plasma current modulation on the linear instability of the tearing mode are numerically investigated. It is found that the tearing mode can be stabilized if the frequency of the modulation is suitable and the oscillation amplitude of the resonant surface position is large enough. The power needed for the lower-hybrid-current-drive to stabilize the tearing mode by oscillating the position of the resonant surface is comparable to the power consumption of the conventional method of tearing mode stabilization by using the electron-cyclotron-current-drive.

Large change in the predicted number of small halos due to a small amplitude oscillating inflaton potential

Journal Article Rodrigues, Luiz Felippe S. ; Opher, Reuven - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A smooth inflaton potential is generally assumed when calculating the primordial power spectrum, implicitly assuming that a very small oscillation in the inflaton potential creates a negligible change in the predicted halo mass function. We show that this is not true. We find that a small oscillating perturbation in the inflaton potential in the slow-roll regime can alter significantly the predicted number of small halos. A class of models derived from supergravity theories gives rise to inflaton potentials with a large number of steps and many trans-Planckian effects may generate oscillations in the primordial power spectrum.

Correlation between the number of quantum-statistical modes of the exciting field and the number of lines in the resonance fluorescence spectrum

Journal Article Kryzhanovskii, Boris V ; Sokolov, G B - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The quasi-energy wave functions of a two-level atom in an electromagnetic field, the state of which represents a superposition of coherent states, were found. The fluorescence spectrum of an atom excited by such a field was investigated. It was shown that a spectral fluorescence mode corresponds to each mode of the quantum-statistical distribution of the field incident on the atom. This means that the number of statistical modes of the incident field may be recorded as the number of data bits of the information carried by the light pulse.

Vector fluctuations from multidimensional curvature bounces

Journal Article Giovannini, Massimo - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

It is argued that in the case of a (four-dimensional) smooth transition across a (dilaton-driven) curvature bounce growing vector fluctuations evolve continuously into decaying solutions at later times in the post-bounce epoch. Analytical examples of this observation are given. In the case of multidimensional bouncing models the situation is different, since the system of differential equations describing the vector modes of the geometry has a richer structure. The amplification of the vector modes of the geometry is specifically investigated in a regular five-dimensional bouncing curvature model where scale factors of the external and internal manifolds evolve at a dual rate.more »« less
