TOWARDS A CPT INVARIANT QUANTUM FIELD THEORY ON ELLIPTIC DE SITTER SPACE
Consequences of Schrodinger's antipodal identification on quantum field theory in de Sitter space are investigated. The elliptic ℤ2 identification provides observers with complete information. We show that a suitable confinement on dimension of the elliptic de Sitter space guarantees the existence of globally defined spinors and orientable dS/ℤ2 manifold. In Beltrami coordinates, we give exact solutions of scalar and spinor fields. The CPT invariance of quantum field theory on the elliptic de Sitter space is presented explicitly.

Constraints from Type IA Supernovae on {\lambda}-CDM Model in Randers-Finsler Space
Abstract Gravitational field equations in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type are investigated. A modified Friedmann equation and a new luminosity distance-redshift relation is proposed. A best-fit to the Type Ia supernovae (SNe) observations yields that the ΩΛ in the Λ-CDM model is suppressed to almost zero. This fact indicates that the astronomical observations on the Type Ia SNe can be described well without invoking any form of dark energy. The best-fit age of the universe is given. It is in agreement with the age of our galaxy.

Symmetry and special relativity in Finsler spacetime with constant curvature
Within the framework of projective geometry, we investigate kinematics and symmetry in (alpha, beta) spacetime one special types of Finsler spacetime. The projectively flat (alpha, beta) spacetime with constant flag curvature is divided into four types. The symmetry in type A-Riemann spacetime with constant sectional curvature-is just the one in de Sitter special relativity. The symmetry in type B-locally Minkowski spacetime-is just the one in very special relativity. It is found that type C-Funk spacetime and type D-scaled Berwald's metric spacetime both possess the Lorentz group as its isometric group. The geodesic equation, algebra and dispersion relation in the (alpha, beta) spacetime are given. The corresponding invariant special relativity in the four types of (alpha, beta) spacetime contain two parameters, the speed of light and a geometrical parameter, which may relate to the new physical scale. They all reduce to Einstein's special relativity while the geometrical parameter vanishes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Possible scenario of the Pioneer anomaly in the framework of Finsler geometry
The weak field approximation of geodesics in Randers-Finsler space is investigated. We show that a Finsler structure of Randers space corresponds to the constant and sunward anomalous acceleration demonstrated by the Pioneer 10 and 11 data. The additional term in the geodesic equation acts as "electric force", which provides the anomalous acceleration. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Massive domain wall fermions on four-dimensional anisotropic lattices
We formulate the massive domain wall fermions on anisotropic lattices. For the massive domain wall fermion, we find that the dispersion relation assumes the usual form in the low momentum region when the bare parameters are properly tuned. The quark self-energy and the quark field renormalization constants are calculated to one-loop in bare lattice perturbation theory. For light domain wall fermions, we verified that the chiral mode is stable against quantum fluctuations on anisotropic lattices. This calculation serves as a guidance for the tuning of the parameters in the quark action in future numerical simulations.

Local unitary classification of arbitrary dimensional multipartite pure states.
We propose a practical entanglement classification scheme for general multipartite pure states in arbitrary dimensions under local unitary equivalence by exploiting the high order singular value decomposition technique and local symmetries of the states. By virtue of this scheme, the method of determining the local unitary equivalence of n-qubit states proposed by Kraus is extended to the case for arbitrary dimensional multipartite states.

Fluctuation with dust of de Sitter ground state of scalar-tensor gravity
An exact de Sitter solution of scalar-tensor gravity is found in our recent work, in which the non-minimal coupling scalar is rolling along a non-constant potential. Based on this solution, a dust-filled FRW universe is explored in frame of scalar-tensor gravity in this article. The effective dark energy induced by the sole non-minimal scalar can be quintessence-like, phantom-like, and more significantly, can cross the phantom divide. The rich and varied properties of scalar-tensor gravity even with only one scalar is shown.

Cyclotron dynamics of interacting bosons in artificial magnetic fields
We study theoretically quantum dynamics of interacting bosons in artificial magnetic fields as engineered in recent ultracold atomic experiments, where quantum cyclotron orbital motion has been observed. With exact numerical simulations and perturbative analyses, we find that interactions induce damping in the cyclotron motion. The damping time is found to be dependent on interaction and tunneling strengths monotonically, while its dependence on magnetic flux is non-monotonic. Sufficiently strong interactions would render bosons dynamically localized inhibiting the cyclotron motion. The damping predicted by us can be construed as an interaction-induced quantum decoherence of the cyclotron motion.

Search for GRB counterparts using the ARGO‐YBJ experiment in shower mode
In this paper, the effective area of the ARGO‐YBJ experiment to detect the gamma rays with energy range from 10 GeV to 1 TeV for different incident zenith angles (0,10,20,30,40 degrees) is given respectively. The optimal event selections to search for GRB counterparts with different cutoff energy models (Ecut = 100 GeV and 1 TeV) are studied. Using these selections and their corresponding angular resolutions the searches are done within two hours around the GRB trigger time via different time windows. Finally, the result for the 20 GRBs in the field of view of ARGO between July 2006 and July 2008 is presented, and the fluence upper limit for each GRB is set at 99% confidence level.

Two-loop QCD correction to differential semi-leptonic b→u decays in the shape-function region
Abstract We calculate the two-loop QCD correction to the form factors of on-shell b -quark decay to an energetic massless quark, which constitutes the last missing piece required for an O ( α s 2 ) determination of | V u b | from inclusive semi-leptonic B ¯ → X u l ν ¯ decays in the shape-function region.
