Relativistic three-partite non-locality

Bell-like inequalities have been used in order to distinguish non-local quantum pure states by various authors. The behavior of such inequalities under Lorentz transformation has been a source of debate and controversies in the past. In this paper, we consider the two most commonly studied three-particle pure states, that of W and GHZ states which exhibit distinctly different type of entanglement. We discuss the various types of three-particle inequalities used in previous studies and point to their corresponding shortcomings and strengths. Our main result is that if one uses Czachor's relativistic spin operator and Svetlichny's inequality as the main measure of non-locality and uses the same angles in the rest frame ($S$) as well as the moving frame ($S^{\prime}$), then maximally violated inequality in $S$ will decrease in the moving frame, and will eventually lead to lack of non-locality ( i.e. satisfaction of inequality) in the $v \rightarrow c$ limit. This is shown for both the GHZ and W states and in two different configurations which are commonly studied (\textbf{Case $I$} and \textbf{Case $II$}). Our results are in line with a more familiar case of two particle case. We also show that the satisfaction of Svetlichny's inequality in the $v\rightarrow c$ limit is independent of initial particles' velocity. Our study shows that whenever we use Czachor's relativistic spin operator, results draws a clear picture of three-particle non-locality making its general properties consistent with previous studies on two-particle systems regardless of the W state or the GHZ state is involved.....Comment: Accepted version (Int.

Revisiting Holographic Dark Energy in Cyclic Cosmology

Considering the holographic dark energy (HDE) with two different Infrared (IR) cutoffs, we study the evolution of a cyclic universe which avoids the Big-Rip singularity. Our results show that, even in the absence of a mutual interaction between the cosmos sectors, the HDE model with the Hubble radius as IR cutoff can mimics a cosmological constant in the framework of a cyclic cosmology. In addition, we find that both the interacting and non-interacting universes may enter into a cycle of sequential contraction and expansion, if the Granda-Oliveros (GO) cutoff is chosen as the IR cutoff in the energy density of the HDE.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Thermodynamical study of FRW universe in Quasi-Topological Theory

By applying the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of FRW universe, we get the entropy relation for the apparent horizon in quasi-topological gravity theory. Throughout the paper, the results of considering the Hayward-Kodama and Cai-Kim temperatures are also addressed. Our study shows that whenever, there is no energy exchange between the various parts of cosmos, we can get an expression for the apparent horizon entropy in quasi-topological gravity, which is in agreement with other attempts followed different approaches. The effects of a mutual interaction between the various parts of cosmos on the apparent horizon entropy as well as the validity of second law of thermodynamics in quasi-topological gravity are also perused.Comment: The text has been revised and some new references are adde
