Phase space analysis of fragmentation and the role of mass asymmetry
Based on the quantum molecular dynamics picture, we aim to understand heavy-ion collisions in terms of participant spectator matter leading to various fragments of different sizes. The study is performed for symmetric as well as asymmetric reactions at E = 200 MeV nucleon−1 for central collisions. Our results highlight the importance of a phase space analysis of the fragment distribution in symmetric and asymmetric collisions in terms of light mass fragments that are a component of participant matter and intermediate mass fragments, which come from the spectator region.

Effect of density dependent symmetry energy on fragmentation
The effect of the density dependence of symmetry energy on fragmentation is studied using isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model(IQMD) Model. We have used the reduced isospin-dependent cross-section with soft equation of state to explain the experimental findings for the system 79Au197 + 79Au197 for the full colliding geometry. In addition to that we have tried to study the collective response of the momentum dependent interactions(MDI) and symmetry energy towards the multifragmentation.

Effect of the symmetry energy on nuclear stopping and its relation to the production of light charged fragments
We present a complete systematics (excitation function, impact parameter, system size, isospin asymmetry, and equations of state dependences) of global stopping and fragment production for heavy-ion reactions in the energy range between 50 and 1000 MeV/nucleon in the presence of symmetry energy and an isospin-dependent cross section. It is observed that the degree of stopping depends weakly on the symmetry energy and strongly on the isospin-dependent cross section. However, the symmetry energy and isospin-dependent cross section has an effect of the order of more than 10% on the emission of light charged particles (LCP's). It means that nuclear stopping and LCP's can be used as a tool to get the information of an isospin-dependent cross section. Interestingly, the LCP's emission in the presence of symmetry energy is found to be highly correlated with the global stopping.

Effect of isospin dependent cross-section on nuclear stopping
Nuclear stopping in heavy ion collisions (HIC) has been studied by means of rapidity distribution and asymmetry of nucleon momentum distribution. It is an important quantity in determining the outcome of a reaction. Fen Fu {\it et al.,} \cite{2} calculate both the radial flow and the degree of nuclear stopping in Pb + Pb and Ni + Ni at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 GeV/neucleon. They found that the expansion velocity as well as the degree of nuclear stopping are higher in the heavier system at all energies.

Rapidity distribution dependence of the transition energy in heavy-ion collisions
For the present analysis, simulations are carried out for thousand of events for the reaction of 79Au197 + 79Au197 at semi-central geometry using a hard equation of state. The whole of the analysis is performed for light charged particles (LCP's). The transition from in-plane to out-of-plane is observed only when the mid-rapidity region is included in the rapidity bin otherwise no transition is observed. The transition energy is found to be strongly dependent on the size of the rapidity bin. The transition energy is parameterized with a straight line interpolation.

Production of light and intermediate mass fragments using various clusterization algorithms
For the present analysis we simulate the reaction 129Xe 54+197Au79 at E=50 MeV/nucleon respectively[3]. This reaction is simulated at different impact parameters using hard equation of state. The stored phase space is then analyzed by using MST, MSTP and MSTB algorithms. MSTB and MSTP identifies the free nucleons as early as possible. In the two cases, a check in the form of binding energy and momentum cut helps to identify the fragments quite early. The normal MST takes quite a long time to identify the stable fragments which are residual of excited fragments.

Early viscous universe with variable gravitational and cosmological ‘constants’
Einstein's field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological 'constants' are considered in the presence of bulk viscosity for a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe. Solutions are obtained by using a 'gamma-law' equation of state p = (? ? 1)?, where the adiabatic parameter ? varies continuously as the universe expands. A unified description of the early evolution of universe is presented with a number of possible assumptions on the bulk viscous term and gravitational constant in which an inflationary phase is followed by radiation-dominated phase. We investigate the cosmological model with constant and time-dependent bulk viscosity (proportional to power function of energy density and to Hubble parameter) along with constant and variable gravitational constant. The effect of viscosity is shown to affect the past and future of the universe. In all cases, the cosmological constant ? is found to be positive and a decreasing function of time, which supports the results obtained from recent supernovae Ia observations. The possibility that the present acceleration of the universe is driven by a kind of viscous fluid is explained. At the background level this model is similar to the generalized Chaplygin gas model. The physical and geometrical significance of the early cosmological models has also been discussed.

STUDY ON THE NONCOMMUTATIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF GALILEAN GENERATORS
The representations of Galilean generators are constructed on a space where both position and momentum coordinates are noncommutating operators. A dynamical model invariant under noncommutative phase space transformations is constructed. The Dirac brackets of this model reproduce the original noncommutative algebra. Also, the generators in terms of noncommutative phase-space variables are abstracted from this model in a consistent manner. Finally, the role of Jacobi identities is emphasized to produce the noncommuting structure that occurs when an electron is subjected to a constant magnetic field and Berry curvature.

Finite electron self-mass in a nonperturbative iterative scheme of quantum electrodynamics
Abstract We show that the electron self-mass δm is finite and equal to electron mass m in the recently proposed nonperturbative iterative scheme of quantum electrodynamics. This has to be contrasted with the logarithmically divergent expression which is obtained in second order perturbation theory.

CP-odd weak basis invariants and texture zeros
We construct the CP-odd weak basis invariants from the neutrino mass matrix in a weak basis, in which the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal, and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for CP conservation. We study the interrelationships between different CP-odd weak basis invariants to examine their implications for the Dirac- and Majorana-type CP violating phases for the phenomenologically allowed Frampton-Glashow-Marfatia texture zero structures of the neutrino mass matrix.

Self-Consistent Dynamics of Inflationary Phase Transitions
The physics of the inflationary universe requires the study of the out of equilibrium evolution of quantum fields in curved spacetime. We present the evolution for both the geometry and the matter (described by the quantum inflaton field) by means of the non-perturbative large N limit combined with semi-classical gravitational dynamics including the back-reaction of quantum fluctuations self-consistently for a new inflation scenario. We provide a criterion for the validity of the classical approximation and a full analysis of the case in which spinodal quantum fluctuations drive the evolution of the scale factor. Under carefully determined conditions, we show that the full field equations may be well approximated by those of a single composite field which obeys the classical equation of motion in all cases. The de Sitter stage is found to be followed by a matter dominated phase. We compute the spectrum of scalar density perturbations and argue that the spinodal instabilities are responsible for a `red' spectrum with more power at longer wavelengths. A criterion for the validity of these models is provided and contact with the reconstruction program is established.
