Thermodynamics for Kodama observer in general spherically symmetric spacetimes
By following the spirit of arXiv:1003.5665, we define a new Tolman temperature of Kodama observer directly related to its acceleration. We give a generalized integral form of thermodynamics relation on virtual sphere of constant $r$ in non-static spherical symmetric spacetimes. This relation contains work term contributed by `redshift work density', `pressure density' and `gravitational work density'. We illustrate it in RN black hole, Dilaton-Maxwell-Einstein black hole and Vaidya black hole. We argue that the co-moving observers are not physically related to Kodama observers in FRW universe unless in the vacuum case. We also find that a generalized differential form of first law is difficult to be well defined, and it would not give more information than the integral form.

title: Non-relativistic Josephson junction from holography
abstract: A bstractWe construct a Josephson junction in non-relativistic case with a Lifshitz geometry as the dual gravity. We investigate the effect of the Lifshitz scaling in comparison with its relativistic counterpart. The standard sinusoidal relation between the current and the phase difference is found for various Lifshitz scalings characterised by the dynamical critical exponent. We also find the exponential decreasing relation between the condensate of the scalar operator within the barrier at zero current and the width of the weak link, as well as the relation between the critical current and the width. Nevertheless, the coherence lengths obtained from two exponential decreasing relations generically have discrepancies for non-relativistic dual.

title: Competition between s-wave order and d-wave order in holographic superconductors
abstract: A bstractWe study competition between s-wave order and d-wave order through two holographic superconductor models. We find that once the coexisting phase appears, it is always thermodynamically favored, and that the coexistence phase is narrow and one condensate tends to kill the other. The phase diagram is constructed for each model in terms of temperature and the ratio of charges of two orders. We further compare the behaviors of some thermodynamic quantities, and discuss the different aspects and identical ones between two models.

title: Fermionic zero modes in gauge and gravity backgrounds on T-2
abstract: Here we study fermionic zero modes in gauge and gravity backgrounds taking a two-dimensional compact manifold T-2 as extra dimensions. The result is that there exist massless Dirac fermions which have normalizable zero modes under quite general assumptions about these backgrounds on the bulk. Several special cases of gauge background on the torus are discussed and some simple fermionic zero modes axe obtained.

title: Thermodynamic geometry of black hole in the deformed Hořava-Lifshitz gravity
abstract: We investigate the thermodynamic geometry and phase transition of Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in the deformed Hořava-Lifshitz gravity with coupling constant λ = 1. The phase transition in black-hole thermodynamics is thought to be associated with the divergence of the capacities. And the structures of these divergent points are studied. We also find that the thermodynamic curvature produced by the Ruppeiner metric is positive definite for all r+ > r− and is divergent at η2 = 0 corresponding to the divergent points of CΦ and CT . These results suggest that the microstructure of the black hole has an effective repulsive interaction, which is very similar to the ideal gas of fermions. These may shed some light on the microstructure of the black hole.

title: Fermions coupled with self-dual vortex background on a torus
abstract: We study fermionic zero modes in the self-dual vortex background on an extra torus in 5+1 dimensions. It is shown that the self-dual vortex arises from the symmetric phase and the asymmetric phase of Higgs field in the context of generalized Abelian Higgs model. Then we analyze the Dirac operator on the extra two-dimensional space and the effective Lagrangian of four-dimensional fermion with the vortex background. Solving the Dirac equation, we obtain the fermionic zero modes in two simple cases. It is shown that the vortex background contributes a phase shift to the fermionic zero modes, and this phase is determined by the topology of the extra dimensions, it can be observed through Aharonov-Bohm effect. For the anti-vortex case, the corresponding zero modes present a singular behavior at the zero point of Higgs field. While for the vacuum one, they are non-singular.

title: DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO FREQUENCY GUNS AT NSRRC
abstract: Technologies for rf gun-based high brightness injector are being developed at NSRRC. An X-band photo-cathode rf gun has been constructed and operated successfully for coherent electromagnetic radiation research at U.C. Davis. Recent measurement of a 1.5-2 MeV beam from this gun with bunch charge at 25 pC showed that it has a normalized emittance at 1.65 mm-mrad. As a successive project, a 100 MeV electron beam injector system with a thermionic rf gun and a photo-cathode rf gun that share the same 2998 MHz rf linac is being designed as the pre-injector of the TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) booster as well as beam injector for novel light source research. For evaluation purposes, a prototype thermionic rf gun system is now under construction at NSRRC with the existing 2856 MHz high power microwave system as the driver source.

title: Constraints on the universal varying Yukawa couplings: from SM-like to fermiophobic
abstract: A bstractVarying the Standard Model (SM) fermion Yukawa couplings universally by a generic positive scale factor $ ({F_{{Y\,u}}}) $, we study the phenomenological fit to the current available experimental results for the Higgs boson search at hadron colliders. We point out that the Higgs production cross section and its decay branching ratio to γγ can be varied oppositely by $ {F_{{Y{ ~ }u}}} $ to make their product almost invariant. Thus, our scenario and the SM Higgs are indistinguishable in the inclusive H → γγ channel. The current measurements on direct Yukawa coupling strength in the $ H \to b\overline b /\tau \tau $ channel are not precise enough to fix the scale factor $ {F_{{Y{ ~ }u}}} $. The most promising is the vector-boson-fusion channel in which the CMS has already observed possible suppression effect on the Yukawa couplings. Further more, the global χ2 fit of the experimental data can get the optimal value by introducing a suppression factor $ {F_{{Y{ ~ }u}}} \sim {1}/{2} $ on the SM Yukawa couplings.

title: Positive energy theorem for (4+1)-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes
abstract: We define the total energy-momenta for (4+1)-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, which comes from the boundary terms at infinity in the integral form of the Weitzenböck formula. Then we prove the positive energy theorem for such spacetimes, following Witten’s original arguments for the positive energy theorem in asymptotically flat spacetimes.

title: D2 Chern-Simons Gravity
abstract: We study the theory that contains two spin-2 fields. This theory can be regarded as a simplified version of higher spin gravity in AdS3. It can be formulated either in the first order formulation or in the second order formulation. From the first order formulation we construct the black holes in the theory and study the thermodynamics of this black holes with the help of dual holographic OPE. From the higher spin point of view, this black hole is most naturally regarded as a black hole with a spin-2 hair. In the second order formulation, we obtain an action for the metric and extra spin-2 fields and analyze the corresponding black holes. Even though for some simple cases, the conventional notions, such as the horizon, may help us to read part of the information of the black hole, they break down in generic cases. On the other hand, the action in the second order formulation could be rewritten in the form of a decoupled AdS3 bi-gravity. Moreover, the entropy of the black hole with the spin-2 hair could be reproduced from the AdS3 bi-gravity in the Euclidean path-integral formalism.
