Neutrino Oscillations in the de Sitter and the Anti-de Sitter Space-Time
General expressions of the neutrino oscillation phase in the generally static space-time with spherical symmetry are given. The effect of the gravitational field on the oscillation length is embodied in the gravitational red shift factor. We find that a blue shift of the oscillation length takes place when the neutrino travels out of the gravitational field. Then, we discuss the variation of the oscillation length influenced by the cosmological constant. In the de Sitter space-time, the positive cosmological constant prolongs the oscillation length. And, in the anti-de Sitter space-time, the negative cosmological constant shortens it as expected.

Hawking Radiation via Tunnelling from Arbitrarily Dimensional Schwarzschild Black Holes
We extend Parikh's recent work to the arbitrarily dimensional Schwarzschild black holes whose Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) mass is identical to its mass parameter. We view Hawking radiation as a tunnelling process across the event horizon. From the tunnelling probability we also find a leading correction to the semiclassical emission rate. The result consists with an underlying unitary theory.

Tunnelling effect from a Vaidya--de Sitter black hole
In this paper, we extend Parikh' recent work to the Vaidya–de Sitter black hole which is non-stationary. We view Hawking radiation as a tunnelling process across the event horizon and calculate the tunnelling probability when the particle crosses the event horizon. From the tunnelling probability we also find a leading correction to the semiclassical emission rate.

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.

Neutrino oscillation interference phase in Kerr space--time
The mass neutrino interference phases along the null trajectory and the geodesic line in Kerr space–time are studied on the plane θ = π/2. Because of the rotation object in Kerr space–time, a particle travelling along the radial geodesic must have a dragging effect produced by the angular momentum of the central object. We give the correction of the phase due to the rotation of the space–time. We find that the type-I interference phase along the geodesic remains the double of that along the null on the condition that the rotating quantity parameter a2 is preserved and the higher order terms are negligible (e.g. a4). In addition, we calculate the proper oscillation length in Kerr space–time. All of our results can return to those in Schwarzschild space–time as the rotating parameter a approaches zero.

Higgs gravitational interaction, weak boson scattering, and Higgs inflation in Jordan and Einstein frames
We study gravitational interaction of Higgs boson through the unique dimension-4 operator xi(HHR)-H-dagger, with H the Higgs doublet and R the Ricci scalar curvature. We analyze the effect of this dimensionless nonminimal coupling xi on weak gauge boson scattering in both Jordan and Einstein frames. We explicitly establish the longitudinal-Goldstone equivalence theorem with nonzero xi coupling in both frames, and analyze the unitarity constraints. We study the xi-induced weak boson scattering cross sections at O(1 30) TeV scales, and propose to probe the Higgs-gravity coupling via weak boson scattering experiments at the LHC (14 TeV) and the next generation pp colliders (50 100 TeV). We further extend our study to Higgs inflation, and quantitatively derive the perturbative unitarity bounds via coupled channel analysis, under large field background at the inflation scale. We analyze the unitarity constraints on the parameter space in both the conventional Higgs inflation and the improved models in light of the recent BICEP2 data.

Higgs Partner Searches and Dark Matter Phenomenology in a Classically Scale Invariant Higgs Boson Sector
In a previous work, a classically scale invariant extension of the standard model was proposed, as a potential candidate for resolving the hierarchy problem, by minimally introducing a complex gauge singlet scalar, and generating radiative electroweak symmetry breaking by means of the Coleman- Weinberg Mechanism. Postulating the singlet sector to respect the CP-symmetry, the existence of a stable pseudoscalar dark matter candidate with a mass in the TeV range was demonstrated. More- over, the model predicted the presence of another physical CP-even Higgs boson (with suppressed tree-level couplings), in addition to the 125 GeV scalar discovered by the LHC. The viable region of the parameter space was determined by various theoretical and experimental considerations. In this work, we continue to examine the phenomenological implications of the proposed minimal sce- nario by considering the constraints from the dark matter relic density, as determined by the Planck collaboration, as well as the direct detection bounds from the LUX experiment. Furthermore, we investigate the implications of the collider Higgs searches for the additional Higgs boson. Our results are comprehensively demonstrated in unified exclusion plots, which analyze the viable region of the parameter space from all relevant angles, demonstrating the testability of the proposed scenario.

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.

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)].

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.
