Harrison Metrics for the Schwarzschild Black Hole
Based on the hidden conformal symmetry, some authors have proposed a Harrison metric for the Schwarzschild black hole. We give a procedure which can generate a family of Harrison metrics starting from a general set of SL(2, R) vector fields. By analogy with the subtracted geometry of the Kerr black hole, we find a new Harrison metric for the Schwarzschild case. Its conformal generators are also investigated using the Killing equations in the near-horizon limit.

Entropic corrections and modified Friedmann equations in the emergence of cosmic space
In the emergent cosmic space scenario recently proposed by Padmanabhan, the expansion of the universe is attributed to the difference between the number of degrees of freedom on a holographic surface and the one in the bulk. Based on this idea, we explore the cases where logarithmic and power-law entropic corrections are present, respectively. The previously found modified Friedmann equations are reproduced through an improved proposal, and we show that the same results can be obtained using a generalized expansion law.

Real-time Detection and Rapid Multiwavelength Follow-up Observations of a Highly Subluminous Type II-P Supernova from the Palomar Transient Factory Survey
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is an optical wide-field variability survey carried out using a camera with a 7.8 deg^2 field of view mounted on the 48 inch Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory. One of the key goals of this survey is to conduct high-cadence monitoring of the sky in order to detect optical transient sources shortly after they occur. Here, we describe the real-time capabilities of the PTF and our related rapid multiwavelength follow-up programs, extending from the radio to the γ-ray bands. We present as a case study observations of the optical transient PTF10vdl (SN 2010id), revealed to be a very young core-collapse (Type II-P) supernova having a remarkably low luminosity. Our results demonstrate that the PTF now provides for optical transients the real-time discovery and rapid-response follow-up capabilities previously reserved only for high-energy transients like gamma-ray bursts.

Hidden conformal symmetry of extremal Kaluza-Klein black hole in four dimensions
We study the hidden conformal symmetry of four-dimensional extremal Kaluza-Klein black hole. The scalar Laplacian corresponding to the radial equation in the near-region is rewritten in terms of the $ {\text{SL}}\left( {2,\mathbb{R}} \right) $ quadratic Casimir. Using the first law of black hole thermodynamics, this symmetry enables us to obtain the conjugate charges for the CFT side. The real-time correlators are also found to agree with the CFT expectations.

F(T) GRAVITY FROM HOLOGRAPHIC RICCI DARK ENERGY MODEL WITH NEW BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Commonly used boundary conditions in reconstructing f(T) gravity from holographic Ricci dark energy (RDE) model are found to cause some problem, we therefore propose new boundary conditions in this paper. By reconstructing f(T) gravity from the RDE with these new boundary conditions, we show that the new ones are better than the present commonly used ones since they can give the physically expected information, which is lost when the commonly used ones are taken in the reconstruction, of the resulting f(T) theory. Thus, the new boundary conditions proposed here are more suitable for the reconstruction of f(T) gravity.

Quark initiated coherent diffractive production of a muon pair andWboson at hadron colliders
The large transverse momentum muon pair and W boson productions in the quark initiated coherent diffractive processes at hadron colliders are discussed under the framework of the two-gluon exchange parametrization of the Pomeron model. In this approach, the production cross sections are related to the small-x off-diagonal gluon distribution and the large-x quark distribution in the proton (antiproton). By approximating the off-diagonal gluon distribution by the usual gluon distribution function, we estimate the production rates of these processes at the Fermilab Tevatron.

On the Relation Between Mechanisms for Single-Transverse-Spin Asymmetries
Recent studies have shown that two widely-used mechanisms for single-transverse-spin asymmetries based on either twist-three contributions or on transverse-momentum-dependent (Sivers) parton distributions become identical in a kinematical regime of overlap. This was demonstrated for the so-called soft-gluon-pole and hard-pole contributions to the asymmetry associated with a particular quark-gluon correlation function in the nucleon. In this paper, using semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering as an example, we extend the study to the contributions by soft-fermion poles and by another independent twist-three correlation function. We find that these additional terms organize themselves in such a way as to maintain the mutual consistency of the two mechanisms for single-spin asymmetries.

Correlations of Wilson lines and the proton structure function F-2
We discuss deep inelastic scattering at low χ as a critical phenomenon in 2 + 1 space - time dimensions. QCD (SU2) near the light cone becomes a critical theory in the limit of χ → 0 with a correlation mass m(χ) ∝ χν/2. We conjecture that the perturbative dipole wave function of the virtual photon in the region 1/Q < χ− < 1/m obeys correlation scaling Ψ ∝ (χ−)−(1+n) before exponentially decaying for distances larger than the inverse correlation mass. Using this behavior combined with an χ-independent dipole proton cross section we calculate the proton structure function and compare with the experimental data.

Transverse momentum distribution through soft-gluon resummation in effective field theory
Abstract We study resummation of transverse-momentum-related large logarithms generated from soft-gluon radiations in soft-collinear effective field theory. The anomalous dimensions of the effective quark and gluon currents, an important ingredient for the resummation, are calculated to two-loop order. The result at next-to-leading-log reproduces that obtained using the standard method for deep-inelastic scattering, Drell–Yan process, and Higgs production through gluon-gluon fusion. We comment on the extension of the calculation to next-to-next-to-leading logarithms.

Heavy quarkonium production in double Pomeron exchange processes in perturbative QCD
Abstract We calculate the heavy quarkonium production in double pomeron exchange processes in perturbative QCD by using two-gluon exchange model. For the P -wave χ J productions, we find χ 1 and χ 2 production amplitudes which vanish in the forward scattering limit. We also calculate direct J / ψ ( ϒ )+ γ production in the same approach, and these direct contributions are much smaller than the feeddown contributions from the P -wave states.
