Frame-dependency of the confinement temperature in a strongly-coupled plasma under rotation: a holographic description

Nelson R. F. Braga, Alexsandre L. Ferreira

Recently, it was demonstrated that the disagreement between lattice calculations and holographic models, regarding rotational effects in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), occurs due to…

Unraveling the effect of rotation on the confinement/deconfinement transition of the quark-gluon plasma

Nelson R. F. Braga, Alexsandre L. Ferreira

There is an apparent contradiction in the current literature about the effect of rotation in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). While results from lattice QCD predict an increase in the…

Bouncing completion of eternal inflation

Alexsandre L. Ferreira, Nelson Pinto-Neto, Vanessa N. Xavier

Using a purely kinematical argument, the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin (BGV) theorem states that any maximal space-time with average positive expansion is geodesically incomplete, hence past…

Inflation and late-time accelerated expansion driven by -essence degenerate dynamics

Alexsandre L. Ferreira Junior, Nelson Pinto-Neto, Jorge Zanelli

We consider a k-essence model in which a single scalar field can be responsible for both primordial inflation and the present observed acceleration of the cosmological background g…

Anisotropic motion of an electric dipole in a photon gas near a flat conducting boundary

G. H. S. Camargo, V. A. De Lorenci, A. L. Ferreira Junior +1

The quantum Brownian motion of a single neutral particle with nonzero electric dipole moment placed in a photon gas at fixed temperature and close to a conducting wall is here exam…

Interference effects and modified Born rule in the presence of torsion

Eduardo Bittencourt, Alexsandre L. Ferreira Junior, Iarley P. Lobo

The propagation of nonrelativistic excitations in material media with topological defects can be modeled in terms of an external torsion field modifying the Schroedinger equation.…

Probing thermal fluctuations through scalar test particles

G. H. S. Camargo, V. A. De Lorenci, A. L. Ferreira Junior +1

The fundamental vacuum state of quantum fields, related to Minkowski space, produces divergent fluctuations that must be suppressed in order to bring reality to the description of…
