Two-timescale adiabatic expansion of a scalar field model
The analysis of gravitational wave data may require greater accuracy than is afforded by the adiabatic approximation to the trajectory of and field produced by a particle moving in curved spacetime. Higher accuracy is available with a two-timescale approach using as an expansion parameter the ratio of orbital time to radiation reaction time. To avoid apparent divergences at large distances, the...
متن کاملChaplygin gas with non-adiabatic pressure perturbations
Perturbations in a Chaplygin gas, characterized by an equation of state p = −A/ρ, may acquire non-adiabatic contributions if spatial variations of the parameter A are admitted. This feature is shown to be related to a specific internal structure of the Chaplygin gas. We investigate how perturbations of this type modify the adiabatic sound speed and influence the time dependence of the gravitati...
متن کاملNon-adiabatic transitions in multi-level systems
In a quantum system with a smoothly and slowly varying Hamiltonian, which approaches a constant operator at times t → ±∞, the transition probabilities between adiabatic states are exponentially small. They are characterized by an exponent that depends on a phase integral along a path around a set of branch points connecting the energy level surfaces in complex time. Only certain sequences of br...
متن کاملAdiabatic Approximation in the Density Matrix Approach: Non-Degenerate Systems
We study the adiabatic limit in the density matrix approach for a quantum system coupled to a weakly dissipative medium. The energy spectrum of the quantum model is supposed to be non-degenerate. In the absence of dissipation, the geometric phases for periodic Hamiltonians obtained previously by M.V. Berry are recovered in the present approach. We determine the necessary condition satisfied by ...
متن کاملBounds on non-adiabatic evolution in single-field inflation
We examine the regime of validity of N-point spectra predictions of single field inflation models that invoke transient periods of non-adiabatic evolution. Such models generate oscillatory features in these spectra spanning frequencies up to the inverse time scale of the transient feature. To avoid strong coupling of fluctuations in these theories this scale must be at least ∼ 10−2/cs of the Hu...
