The thermodynamic properties of dark energy fluids described by an equation of state parameter omega = p/rho are rediscussed in the context of FRW type geometries. Contrarily to previous claims, it is argued here that the phantom regime omega < -1 is not physically possible since that both the temperature and the entropy of every physical fluids must be always positive definite. This means that one cannot appeal to negative temperature in order to save the phantom dark energy hypothesis as has been recently done in the literature. Such a result remains true as long as the chemical potential is zero. However, if the phantom fluid is endowed with a non-null chemical potential, the phantom field hypothesis becomes thermodynamically consistent, that is, there are macroscopic equilibrium states with T > 0 and S > 0 in the course of the Universe expansion.

Cosmological inflation driven by a scalar torsion function

T. M. Guimaraes, R. de C. Lima, S. H. Pereira

Summary: A feasible model for inflation driven by a torsion function in a Friedmann background is presented, with a scalar spectral index in the range 0.92 ≤ ns ≤ 0.97 to satisfy initial inflationary conditions. Post inflationary phase is studied, with analytical solutions obtained for scale factor and energy density, indicating a small deviation from the standard model evolution. The same torsion function also satisfactorily describes recent universe acceleration, possibly suggesting a unification of different phases beyond specific constants.

Inhomogeneity of a rotating quark-gluon plasma from holography

Nelson R. F. Braga, Octavio C. Junqueira

Summary: This study investigates the influence of rotation on the transition temperature of strongly interacting matter produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. By using a holographic description of an AdS black hole, the authors extend the analysis to the more realistic case where the matter spreads over a region around the rotational axis. The results show the coexistence of confined and deconfined phases and are consistent with the concept of local temperature in rotating frames developed by Tolman and Ehrenfest.

Constrain the time variation of the gravitational constant via the propagation of gravitational waves

Bing Sun, Jiachen An, Zhoujian Cao

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of gravitational constant variation on the propagation of gravitational waves. By employing two analytical methods, the study finds that variations in the gravitational constant result in amplitude and phase corrections for gravitational waves, and the time variation of the gravitational constant can be constrained through the propagation of gravitational waves.

Quantum tunneling from Schwarzschild black hole in non-commutative gauge theory of gravity

Abdellah Touati, Zaim Slimane

Summary: This letter presents the first study of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process within the framework of non-commutative gauge theory of gravity. The non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole is reconstructed using the Seiberg-Witten map and the star product. The emission spectrum of outgoing massless particles is computed using the quantum tunneling mechanism. The results reveal pure thermal radiation in the low-frequency scenario, but a deviation from pure thermal radiation in the high-frequency scenario due to energy conservation. It is also found that noncommutativity enhances the correlations between successively emitted particles.

Compact stars: To cross or go around? That is the question

Shahar Hod

Summary: The travel times of light signals between two antipodal points on a compact star's surface are calculated for two different trajectories. It is shown that, for highly dense stars, the longer trajectory along the surface may have a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers. A critical value of the dimensionless density-area parameter is determined for constant density stars to distinguish cases where crossing through the star's center or following a semi-circular trajectory on the surface has a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers.
