TACHYON FIELD-INSPIRED DARK ENERGY AND SUPERNOVAE CONSTRAINTS
The tachyon field in cosmology is studied in this paper by applying the generating function method to obtain exact solutions. The equation of state parameter of the tachyon field is , which can be expressed as a function in terms of the redshift z. Based on these solutions, we propose some tachyon-inspired dark energy models to explore the properties of the corresponding cosmological evolution. The explicit relations between the Hubble parameter and redshift enable us to test the models with SNeIa data sets easily. In this paper, we employ the SNeIa data with the parameter measured from the SDSS and the shift parameter from WMAP observations to constrain the parameters in our models.

Observe the open universe in the sky
We first review the related works on the observable consequence of landscape and the regulation of e-foldings during inflation. We focus on a branch of observable consequence of landscape which predicts an open universe with negative curvature if e-foldings $N>62$. After discussing the observable regulation from the aspect by Kaloper, Kleban and Sorbo, we make an argument that in the non-flat background the observable $N$ is suppressed by a factor $k/\rho_{0}$. We point out that this seems to detect the information where e-foldings $N>62$ possibly. Finally, we discuss our outcomes with the recent work by Arkani-Hamed et al.

Friedmann cosmology with a generalized equation of state and bulk viscosity
The universe media is considered as a non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity and described by a more general equation of state. We assume the bulk viscosity is a linear combination of the two terms: one is constant, and the other is proportional to the scalar expansion $\theta=3\dot{a}/a$. The equation of state is described as $p=(\gamma-1)\rho+p_0$, where $p_0$ is a parameter. This model can be used to explain the dark energy dominated universe. Different choices of the parameters may lead to three kinds of fates of the cosmological evolution: no future singularity, big rip, or Type III singularity of Ref. [S. Nojiri, S.D. Odintsov, and S. Tsujikawa, Phys. Rev. D \textbf{71}, 063004 (2005)].

Cosmological model with viscosity media (dark fluid) described by an effective equation of state
Abstract A generally parameterized equation of state (EOS) is investigated in the cosmological evolution with bulk viscosity media modelled as dark fluid, which can be regarded as a unification of dark energy and dark matter. Compared with the case of the perfect fluid, this EOS has possessed four additional parameters, which can be interpreted as the case of the non-perfect fluid with time-dependent viscosity or the model with variable cosmological constant. From this general EOS, a completely integrable dynamical equation to the scale factor is obtained with its solution explicitly given out. (i) In this parameterized model of cosmology, for a special choice of the parameters we can explain the late-time accelerating expansion universe in a new view. The early inflation, the median (relatively late time) deceleration, and the recently cosmic acceleration may be unified in a single equation. (ii) A generalized relation of the Hubble parameter scaling with the redshift is obtained for some cosmology interests. (iii) By using the SNe Ia data to fit the effective viscosity model we show that the case of matter described by p = 0 plus with effective viscosity contributions can fit the observational gold data in an acceptable level.

Modified equation of state, scalar field, and bulk viscosity in Friedmann universe
Abstract A generalized dynamical equation for the scale factor of the universe is proposed to describe the cosmological evolution, of which the ΛCDM model is a special case. It also provides a general example to show the equivalence of the modified equation of state (EOS) and a scalar field model. In the mathematical aspect, the EOS, the scalar field potential V ( φ ) , and the scale factor a ( t ) all have possessed analytical solutions. Such features are due to a simple form invariance of the equation inherited which determines the Hubble parameter. From the physical point of view, this dynamical equation can be regarded as the ΛCDM model with bulk viscosity, an existence content in the universe. We employ the SNe Ia data with the parameter A measured from the SDSS data and the shift parameter R measured from WMAP data to constrain the parameters in our model. The result is that the contribution of the bulk viscosity, accumulated as an effective dark energy responsible for the current cosmic accelerating expansion, is made approximately ten percent to that of the cosmological constant.

Discovering Strong Top Dynamics at the LHC
We analyze the phenomenology of the top-pion and top-Higgs states in models with strong top dynamics, and translate the present LHC searches for the Standard Model Higgs into bounds on these scalar states. We explore the possibility that the new state at a mass of approximately 125 GeV observed at the LHC is consistent with a neutral pseudoscalar top-pion state. We demonstrate that a neutral pseudoscalar top-pion can generate the diphoton signal at the observed rate. However, the region of model parameter space where this is the case does not correspond to classic topcolorassisted technicolor scenarios with degenerate charged and neutral top-pions and a top-Higgs mass of order 2mt; rather, additional isospin violation would need to be present and the top dynamics would be more akin to that in top seesaw models. Moreover, the interpretation of the new state as a top-pion can be sustained only if the ZZ (four-lepton) and WW (two-lepton plus missing energy) signatures initially observed at the 3 level decline in signicance as additional data is accrued.

Natural electroweak symmetry breaking from scale invariant Higgs mechanism
We construct a minimal viable extension of the standard model (SM) with classical scale symmetry. Its scalar sector contains a complex singlet in addition to the SM Higgs doublet. The scale-invariant and CP-symmetric Higgs potential generates radiative electroweak symmetry breaking ` a la Coleman-Weinberg, and gives a natural solution to the hierarchy problem, free from fine-tuning. Besides the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs particle, it predicts a new CP-even Higgs (serving as the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of scale symmetry breaking) and a CP-odd scalar singlet (providing the dark matter candidate) at weak scale. We systematically analyze experimental constraints from direct LHC Higgs searches and electroweak precision tests, as well as theoretical bounds from unitarity, triviality and vacuum stability. We demonstrate the viable parameter space, and discuss implications for new Higgs and dark matter (DM) searches at the upcoming LHC runs and for the on-going direct detections of DM.

Particle tunnels from Garfinkle-Horne black hole and Horowitz-Strominger black hole
When the black hole radiates particles, it losses energy and shrinks, it is the contraction of the horizon that sets the tunnelling barrier. This article extents the work of M. Parikh to GH black hole and HS black hole. Applying WKB approximation, we calculate the rate of Hawking radiation and found that the rate of tunnelling equals precisely the exponent of the difference of the entropy of the black hole before and after emission. We also obtain the result that the energy spectrum of radiation deviates from the exact thermality.

Tunnelling Effect and Hawking Radiation from a Vaidya Black Hole
In this paper, we extend Parikh’ work to the non-stationary black hole. As an example of the non-stationary black hole, we study the tunnelling effect and Hawking radiation from a Vaidya black hole whose Bondi mass is identical to its mass parameter. We view Hawking radiation as a tunnelling process across the event horizon and calculate the tunnelling probability. We find that the result is different from Parikh’s work because drH dv is the function of Bondi mass m (v). PACS number(s): 04.70.Dy

Tunneling Effect of Two Horizons from a Reissner-Nordstrom Black Hole
The understanding of possible role played by the inner horizon of black holes in black hole thermodynamics is still somewhat incomplete. By adopting Damour-Ruffini method and the thin film model which is developed on the base of brick wall model suggested by ’t Hooft, we calculate the temperature and the entropy of the inner horizon of a R-N black hole. We conclude that the temperature of inner horizon is positive and the entropy of the inner horizon is proportional to the area of the inner horizon. In addition, the cut-off factor is 90β, which is same in calculation of the entropy of the outer horizon. So, we prove the existence of thermal characters of the inner horizon. Then, we discuss that if the contribution of the inner horizon is taken into account to the total entropy of the black hole, the Nernst theorem can be satisfied. At last, we study the tunneling effect including the inner horizon of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. We calculate the tunneling rate of the outer horizon Γ+ and the inner horizon Γ−. The total tunneling rate Γ should be the product of the rates of the outer and inner horizon, Γ=Γ+⋅Γ−. We find that the total tunneling rate is in agreement with the Parikh’s standard result, Γ→exp (ΔSBH), and there is no information loss.
