In this paper, we construct models that admit the traversable wormhole geometries in the framework of Einstein's gravity with two scalar fields. As well known, the energy conditions are broken and we show that there appears a ghost. The…
We proposed a formally exact, probabilistic method to assess the validity of the Thomas-Fermi potential for three-dimensional condensed matter systems where electron dynamics is constrained to the Fermi surface. Our method, which relies on…
We develop a method that uses truncation-order-dependent re-expansions constrained by generic strong-coupling information to extrapolate perturbation series to the nonperturbative regime. The method is first benchmarked against a…
We establish a quantum theory of computational ghost imaging and propose quantum projection imaging where object information can be reconstructed by quantum statistical correlation between a certain photon number of bucket signal and DMD…
In this letter we point out that the massive gravity theory with a graviton ghost mode in de Sitter background cannot possess a de Sitter invariant vacuum state. In order to avoid a negative norm state, we must associate the creation…
We discuss aspects of non-perturbative unitarity in quantum field theory. The additional ghost degrees of freedom arising in "truncations" of an effective action at a finite order in derivatives could be fictitious degrees of freedom. Their…
The conditions for the absence of gauge anomalies in effective field theories (EFT) are rivisited. General results from the cohomology of the BRST operator do not prevent potential anomalies arising from the non-renormalizable sector, when…
Ghost stars are compact configurations characterized by an arbitrarily small total mass. Such objects require regions of negative energy density -a condition typically regarded as unphysical within the context of conventional stellar…
We propose an interaction-free ghost imaging scheme based on a thermal light source. By utilizing the quantum Zeno-like effect, our approach significantly reduces the light dose absorbed by the sample, thereby effectively preventing sample…
The reconstruction of scalar-field dark energy models is studied for a general Lagrangian density $p(\phi, X)$, where $X$ is a kinematic term of a scalar field $\phi$. We implement the coupling $Q$ between dark energy and dark matter and…
We examine the ghost state in the Lee model, and give the physically meaningful interpretatation for norm of the ghost state. According to this interpretation, the semi-positivity of the norm is guaranteed.
For a Bose-Einstein condensate placed in a rotating trap and confined in the z axis, we set a framework of study for the Gross-Pitaevskii energy in the Thomas Fermi regime. We investigate an asymptotic development of the energy, the…
We report the reconstruction of a transparency image in Ghost diffraction scheme using a statistical optics approach. This is implemented by using a static diffuser rather than a pseudo thermal light source with a rotating diffuser. The…
A quantum effective action for gauge field theories is constructed that is gauge invariant and independent of the choice of gauge breaking terms and the ghost determinant.
We develop a three-dimensional analysis of the phase separation of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of vorticity within the Thomas-Fermi approximation. We find different segregation features according to whether the…
The Ginzburg-Landau formalism is constructed for Fermi superfluidity based on the 2n-body condensation in parallel with the usual Ginzburg-Landau formalism for the Cooper pair condensation. By this formalism, the transition temperature of…
Through reformulating the cold, self-gravitating fermion gas as a Bose condensate by identifying their mutual Thomas-Fermi limits, the dissipationless formation of a heavy neutrino star in gravitational collapse is numerically demonstrated.…
Negative norm Hilbert space state vectors can be BRST invariant, we show in a simplified Y-M model, which has gluons and ghost fields only, that such states can be created by starting with gluons only.
Higher derivative quantum corrections are essential components of scalar tensor effective field theories (EFTs), yet they typically reintroduce the Ostrogradsky ghost instability that the classical theory was designed to evade. This paper…
Various widely-used mean-field type theories for a dilute Bose gas are critically examined in the light of the recent discovery of Bose-Einstein condensation of atomic gases in a confined geometry. By numerically solving the mean-field…
