The wave equation obeyed by the extraordinary component of the electric field in a hyperbolic metamaterial was shown to be a massless Klein-Gordon field living in a flat spacetime with two timelike and two spacelike dimensions. Such a wave equation, unexpectedly, allows dispersionless propagation albeit having two spatial dimensions. Here we show that the same equation can be naturally interpreted as a particular massive Klein-Gordon equation with the usual one timelike and two spacelike dimensions in a de Sitter (dS) background spacetime. The mass parameter of the scalar field is given in terms of the cosmological constant, Planck constant, and the speed of light as m = root Lambda(h) over bar /c which corresponds to the point for which the left and right conformal weights of the boundary conformal field theory (CFT) (via the de Sitter/CFT correspondence) are equal. This particular mass corresponds to the gapless mode in the dS spacetime for which the dispersion relation is linear in the wave number.

Hamiltonian for a particle in a magnetic field on a curved surface in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates Shikakhwa, M. S.; Chair, N. (2016-08-19) The Schrodinger Hamiltonian of a spin-less particle as well as the Pauli Hamiltonian with spin-orbit coupling included of a spin one-half particle in electromagnetic fields that are confined to a curved surface embedded in a three-dimensional space spanned by a general Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinate are constructed. A new approach, based on the physical argument that upon squeezing the particle to the surface by a potential, then it is the physical gauge-covariant kinematical momentum operator (velocity ...
Neutrino oscillations induced by spacetime torsion Adak, M; Dereli, T; Ryder, LH (IOP Publishing, 2001-04-21) The gravitational neutrino oscillation problem is studied by considering the Dirac Hamiltonian in a Riemann-Cartan spacetime and calculating the dynamical phase. Torsion contributions which depend on the spin direction of the mass eigenstates are found. These effects are of the order of Planck scales.
Entangled Harmonic Oscillators and Space-Time Entanglement Başkal, Sibel; Kim, Young S.; Noz, Marilyn E. (MDPI AG, 2016-6-28) The mathematical basis for the Gaussian entanglement is discussed in detail, as well as its implications in the internal space-time structure of relativistic extended particles. It is shown that the Gaussian entanglement shares the same set of mathematical formulas with the harmonic oscillator in the Lorentz-covariant world. It is thus possible to transfer the concept of entanglement to the Lorentz-covariant picture of the bound state, which requires both space and time separations between two constituent p...
Hermitian and gauge-covariant Hamiltonians for a particle in a magnetic field on cylindrical and spherical surfaces Shikakhwa, M. S.; Chair, N. (IOP Publishing, 2017-01-01) We construct the Hermitian Schrodinger Hamiltonian of spin-less particles and the gauge-covariant Pauli Hamiltonian of spin one-half particles in a magnetic field, which are confined to cylindrical and spherical surfaces. The approach does not require the use of involved differential-geometrical methods and is intuitive and physical, relying on the general requirements of Hermicity and gauge-covariance. The surfaces are embedded in the full three-dimensional space and confinement to the surfaces is achieved...
RELATIVISTIC BURGERS EQUATIONS ON CURVED SPACETIMES. DERIVATION AND FINITE VOLUME APPROXIMATION Lefloch, Philippe G.; Makhlof, Hasan; Okutmuştur, Baver (2012-01-01) Within the class of nonlinear hyperbolic balance laws posed on a curved spacetime (endowed with a volume form), we identify a hyperbolic balance law that enjoys the same Lorentz invariance property as the one satisfied by the Euler equations of relativistic compressible fluids. This model is unique up to normalization and converges to the standard inviscid Burgers equation in the limit of infinite light speed. Furthermore, from the Euler system of relativistic compressible flows on a curved background, we d...
