Dirac cosmology and the acceleration of the contemporary universe
A model is suggested to unify the Einstein general relativity and Dirac cosmology. There is one adjusted parameter b2 in our model. After adjusting the parameter b2 in the model by using the supernova data, we have calculated the gravitational constant and the physical quantities a(t), q(t) and ?r(t)/?b(t) by using the present day quantities as the initial conditions and found that the equation of state parameter w? equals ?0.83, the ratio of the density of the addition creation ?? = 0.8 and the ratio of the density of the matter including multiplication creation, radiation and normal matter ?m = 0.2 at present. The results are self-consistent and in good agreement with present knowledge in cosmology. These results suggest that the addition creation and multiplication creation in Dirac cosmology play the role of the dark energy and dark matter, respectively. We have shown that our theory is consistent with solar system tests.

Various types of phase transitions in the AdS soliton background
We study the basic holographic insulator and superconductor phase transition in the AdS soliton background by generalizing the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry to occur via Stuckelberg mechanism. We construct the soliton solutions with backreaction and examine the effects of the backreaction on the condensation of the scalar hair in the generalized Stuckelberg Lagrangian. We disclose rich physics in various phase transitions. In addition to the AdS soliton configuration, we also examine the property of the phase transition in the AdS black hole background.

Different Quantum Entropies for Two Kinds of Extreme Two-Dimensional Lowe–Strominger Black Holes*
It is shown that both the classical entropy of two-dimensional extremal Lowe–Strominger black hole and the quantum entropy of the scalar field in the background of this black hole are different by using Hawking's treatment as wel as Zaslavskii's treatment respectively. This result supports our previous suggestion that there are two kinds of extreme black holes in the nature. A new divergent term emerges in the quantum entropy in Zaslavskii's treatment and its physical meaning has been discussed.

Dark Energy: Relating the Evolutions of the Universe from the Past to the Future
Using the evolution history of the universe, one can make constraint on the parameter space of dynamic dark energy models. We discuss two different parameterized dark energy models. Our results further restrict the combined constraints obtained from supernova and the first-year Wilkinson-microwave-anisotropy-probe observations. From the allowed parameter space, it is found that our universe will experience an eternal acceleration. We also estimate the bound on the physically relevant regions both in the re-inflationary and inflationary phases.

Probing the curvature of the Universe from supernova measurement
We study the possibility to probe the spatial geometry of the Universe by supernova measurement. We illustrate with an accelerating universe model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, for which the 1σ level supernova results indicate that the Universe is closed.

Constraints on smoothness parameter and dark energy using observational H(z) data
With large-scale homogeneity, the universe is locally inhomogeneous, clustering into stars, galaxies and larger structures. Such property is described by the smoothness parameter α which is defined as the proportion of matter in the form of intergalactic medium. If we consider the inhomogeneities over a small scale, there should be modifications of the cosmological distances compared to a homogenous model. Dyer and Roeder developed a second-order ordinary differential equation (D-R equation) that describes the angular diameter distance-redshift relation for inhomogeneous cosmological models. Furthermore, we may obtain the D-R equation for observational H(z) data (OHD). The density-parameter ΩM, the state of dark energy ω, and the smoothness-parameter α are constrained by a set of OHD in a spatially flat ΛCDM universe as well as a spatially flat XCDM universe. By using a χ2 minimization method, we get α = 0.81+0.19−0.20 and ΩM = 0.32+0.12−0.06 at the 1σ confidence level. If we assume a Gaussian prior of ΩM = 0.26 ± 0.1, we get α = 0.93+0.07−0.19 and ΩM = 0.31+0.06−0.05. For the XCDM model, α is constrained to α ≥ 0.80 but ω is weakly constrained around −1, where ω describes the equation of state of the dark energy (pX = ωρX). We conclude that OHD constrains the smoothness parameter more effectively than the data of SNe Ia and compact radio sources.

Entropies of a Toroidal Black Hole Due to Scalar and Dirac Fields
Using the thin film brick-wall model, the entropies of a toroidal black hole due to scalar and Dirac fields are investigated. The entropy due to the scalar field is one fourth of the horizon area, and that due to the Dirac field is seven eighth of the area. These results are similar to that in black holes with horizon topology S2. The cutoff in toroidal black hole is chosen as the same as one in black holes with horizon topology S2, which seems to mean that the thin film brick-wall model is universal.

Reconstruction of Gas Temperature and Density Profiles of the Galaxy Cluster RX J1347.5-1145
We use observations of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and X-ray surface brightness to reconstruct the radial profiles of gas temperature and density under the assumption of a spherically symmetric distribution of the gas. The method of reconstruction, first raised by Silk & White, depends directly on the observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and the X-ray surface brightness, without involving additional assumptions such as the equation of state of the gas or the conditions of hydrostatic equilibrium. We applied this method to the cluster RX J1347.5-1145, which has both the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and X-ray observations with relative high precision. It is shown that it will be an effective method to obtain the gas distribution in galaxy clusters. Statistical errors of the derived temperature and density profiles of gas were estimated according to the observational uncertainties.

Entropy of quantum field in toroidal black hole without brick wall
The calculation of the brick-wall model gives the entropy as two terms: one is proportional to the horizon area and the other is a constant. Then they renormalized the entropy by introducing the Newton’s constant and the entropy correction arising from the higher curvature effective gravitational action. Finally, they got the renormalized entropy whose leading term is proportional to the horizon area of the black hole and the others is precisely the one-loop correction arising from the higher curvature terms of the gravitational action. Their work confirmed the suggestion by Susskind and Uglum [25] that these divergences have the correct form to be absorbed in the Bekenstein–Hawking formula as a renormalization of Newton’s constant.

Computer design of a compact cyclotron
Here we present results of the computer design of the structural elements of a compact cyclotron by the example of HITFiL cyclotron selected as the driving accelerator that is under construction at the Institute of Modern Physics (Lanzhou, China). In the article a complex approach to modeling of the compact cyclotron, including calculation of electromagnetic fields of the structural elements and beam dynamics calculations, is described. The existing design data on the axial injection, magnetic, acceleration and extraction systems of the cyclotron are used as a starting point in the simulation. Some of the upgrades of the cyclotron structural elements were proposed, which led to substantial improvement of the beam quality and transmission.
