Interacting tachyon Fermi gas
Abstract
We consider a system of many fermionic tachyons coupled to a scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and pseudovector fields. The scalar and pseudoscalar fields are responsible for the effective mass, while the pseudovector field is similar to ordinary electromagnetic field. The action of vector field results in tachyonic dispersion relation that depends on helicity and spin . We apply the mean field approximation and find that there appears a vector condensate with finite average depending on the tachyon density. The pressure and energy density of a many-tachyon system include the mean-field energy which is real when the particle number density exceeds definite threshold which is for right-handed and for left-handed tachyons, while all tachyons are subluminal at high density. There is visible difference in the properties of right-handed and left-handed tachyons. Interaction via the vector field may lead to stabilization of tachyon matter if its density is large enough.
