Note on entanglement temperature for low thermal excited states in higher derivative gravity
A bstractWe investigate the entanglement temperature of a small scale subsystem in low excited states by using holographic method. Especially, we study the entanglement entropy and entanglement temperature in higher derivative gravities which are considered as low thermal excitation of pure AdS gravity. We find that the entanglement entropy are related to the central charges of CFT living on the boundary. The relation between the variance of entanglement entropy and energy of a small scale subsystem has been also obtained. Furthermore, the relation is consistent with the first law-like relation that is proposed by Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013)091602. Finally, we derive the formula of the variance of entanglement entropy in general excited states in gravity background with the Fefferman-Graham coordinates and the entanglement temperature can be figured out in special case.

Hydrodynamics of a 5D Einstein-dilaton black hole solution and the corresponding BPS state
A bstractWe apply the potential reconstruction approach to generate a series of asymp-totically AdS (aAdS) black hole solutions, with a self-interacting bulk scalar field. Based on the method, we reproduce the pure AdS solution as a consistency check and we also generate a simple analytic 5D black hole solution. We then study various aspects of this solution, such as temperature, entropy density and conserved charges. Furthermore, we study the hydrodynamics of this black hole solution in the framework of fluid/gravity duality, e.g. the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density. In a degenerate case of the 5D black hole solution, we find that the c function decreases monotonically from UV to IR as expected. Finally, we investigate the stability of the degenerate solution by studying the bosonic functional energy of the gravity and the Witten-Nester energy EWN. We confirm that the degenerate solution is a BPS domain wall solution. The corresponding superpotential and the solution of the killing spinor equation are found explicitly.

Pseudoscalar glueball in a chiral Lagrangian model with instanton effect
We study the pseudoscalar glueball ground state in a chiral effective Lagrangian model proposed by 't Hooft, motivated by taking into account the instanton effects, which can describe not only the chiral symmetry breaking, but also the solution of U{sub A}(1). We study the parameter space allowed by constraints from vacuum conditions and unitary bounds. By considering two scenarios in the 0{sup ++} sector, we find that parameter space which can accommodate the 0{sup -+} sector is sensitive to the conditions in 0{sup ++} sector. From our analysis, it is found that three {eta} states, i.e. {eta}(1295), {eta}(1405), {eta}(1475), can be the pseudoscalar glueball ground state if we assume that the lightest 0{sup ++} glueball ground state has a mass 1710 (or 1500) MeV. While there will be no 0{sup -+} glueball candidate ground state found in experiments if we assume that the lightest 0{sup ++} glueball ground state has a mass 660 MeV. We also point out the determined instanton density (i.e. the parameter k{sub t}) is consistent with those determined from other methods, e.g. instanton liquid approximation and lattice simulations.

Thermodynamics of deformed AdS5 model with a positive/negative quadratic correction in graviton-dilaton system
By solving the Einstein equations of the graviton coupling with a real scalar dilaton field, we establish a general framework to self-consistently solve the geometric background with black-hole for any given phenomenological holographic models. In this framework, we solve the black-hole background, the corresponding dilaon field and the dilaton potential for the deformed AdS5 model with a positive/negative quadratic correction. We systematically investigate the thermodynamical properties of the deformed AdS5 model with a positive and negative quadratic correction, respectively, and compare with lattice QCD on the results of the equation of state, the heavy quark potential, the Polyakov loop and the spatial Wilson loop. We find that the bulk thermodynamical properties are not sensitive to the sign of the quadratic correction, and the results of both deformed holographic QCD models agree well with lattice QCD result for pure SU(3) gauge theory. However, the results from loop operators favor a positive quadratic correction, which agree well with lattice QCD result. Especially, the result from the Polyakov loop excludes the model with a negative quadratic correction in the warp factor of AdS5.

A hQCD model and its phase diagram in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton system
A bstractBy use of the potential reconstruction approach we obtain a series of asymptotically AdS (aAdS) black hole solutions in an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) system. Basing on the solutions of the system, we reconstruct a semi-analytical holographic QCD (hQCD) model with a quadratic term in warped factor. We discuss some aspects of the hQCD model, in particular we calculate the free energy of two static color sources (a heavy quark-antiquark pair) which is an important order parameter to describe confinement/deconfinement phase transition. The behavior of the free energy with respect to temperature and chemical potential is studied. We find that in the hQCD model the deconfinement phase transition can be realized and a critical point occurs. The resulting phase diagram in the temperature-chemical potential T − μ plane is in quite good agreement with the one from recent lattice results and effective models of QCD.

Entanglement Entropy: Helicity versus Spin
For a massive spin 1/2 field, we present the reduced spin and helicity density matrix, respectively, for the same pure one particle state. Their relation has also been developed. Furthermore, we calculate and compare the corresponding entanglement entropy for spin and helicity within the same inertial reference frame. Due to the distinct dependence on momentum degree of freedom between spin and helicity states, the resultant helicity entropy is different from that of spin in general. In particular, we find that both helicity entanglement for a spin eigenstate and spin entanglement for a right handed or left handed helicity state do not vanish, and their Von Neumann entropy has no dependence on the specific form of momentum distribution, as long as it is isotropic.

Quantum entanglement of electromagnetic field in non-inertial reference frames
Recently relativistic quantum information has received considerable attention due to its theoretical importance and practical application. In particular, quantum entanglement in non-inertial reference frames has been studied for scalar and Dirac fields. As a further step along this line, we here shall investigate quantum entanglement of electromagnetic field in non-inertial reference frames. In particular, the entanglement of the photon helicity entangled state is extensively analysed. Interestingly, the resultant logarithmic negativity and mutual information remain the same as those for inertial reference frames, which is completely different from that previously obtained for the particle number entangled state.

A causal set black hole
We explicitly compute the causal structure of the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime, by providing an algorithm to decide if any pair of events is causally related. The primary motivation for this study comes from discrete quantum gravity, in particular the causal set approach, in which the fundamental variables can be thought of as the causal ordering of randomly selected events in spacetime. This work opens the way to simulating non-conformally flat spacetimes within the causal set approach, which may allow one to study important questions such as black hole entropy and Hawking radiation on a full four-dimensional causal set black hole.

A COVARIANT ENTROPY BOUND CONJECTURE ON THE DYNAMICAL HORIZON
We propose, as a compelling pattern for the holographic principle, a covariant entropy bound conjecture for more general dynamical horizons. Then we apply our conjecture to ΛCDM cosmological models, where we find that it imposes a novel upper bound, 10-90, on the cosmological constant for our own universe by taking into account the dominant entropy contribution from supermassive black holes, which thus provides an alternative macroscopic perspective for understanding the long-standing cosmological constant problem. As an intriguing implication of this conjecture, we also discuss the possible profound relation between the present cosmological constant, the origin of mass, and the anthropic principle.
