We investigate the dynamics of a spherically symmetric vacuum on Randall and Sundrum 3-brane world. Under certain natural conditions, effective Einstein equations brane form closed system for dark radiation. determine exact dynamical inhomogeneous solutions, which are shown to depend cosmological constant, radiation tidal charge its initial energy configuration. identify conditions defining these solutions as singular or globally regular. Finally, we discuss confinement gravity vicinity show...

In the Randall-Sundrum scenario we investigate dynamics of a spherically symmetric 3-brane world when matter fields are present in bulk. To analyze 5-dimensional Einstein equations employ global conformal transformation whose factor characterizes ${Z}_{2}$ warp. We find new set exact dynamical collapse solutions which localize gravity vicinity brane for stress-energy tensor weight -4 and warp that depends only on coordinate fifth dimension. Geometries describe inhomogeneous dust generalized...
Knowledge about mathematical physics models and scientific computation methods is of fundamental importance for contemporary modelling processes in science, technology, engineering mathematics (STEM). Physics teaching STEM education should thus envision the integration learning sequences with computational that ensure epistemological cognitive balance between experimentation, theory, foster development meaningful knowledge physics, computation, ways appropriate to different contexts. We...
Solutions of the Polchinski exact renormalization group equation in scalar O(N) theory are studied. Families regular solutions found and their relation with fixed points is established. Special attention devoted to limit N = ∞, where many properties can be analyzed analytically.
Abstract Contemporary science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) increasingly require advanced knowledge about mathematical physics models methods of scientific computation. In STEM educational environments this entails the necessity to implement pedagogical curricula methodologies that epistemologically balance inclusion interactive engagement sequences computational modelling activities, offer students opportunities develop meaningful physics, computation, as well specific...
The development of knowledge and cognition in physics other fields contemporary science, technology, engineering mathematics (STEM) is based on modelling processes increasingly requiring advanced methods scientific computation. Physics education for STEM should then involve learning sequences featuring activities with computational technologies. Such manifest epistemological cognitive balance between theory, experimentation computation, be interactively collaborative, ensure the meaningful...

We investigate the Polchinski ERG equation for d-dimensional O(N) scalar field theory. In context of non-perturbative derivative expansion we find families regular solutions and establish their relation with physical fixed points Special emphasis is given to large N limit which many properties can be studied analytically.
The path integral approach is applied to describe the propagation of photons in bounded homogeneous turbid media. Introducing a new controlled perturbative expansion centred on diffusion limit, analytic solutions for continuous wave reflectance and transmittance are determined, as relevant non-invasive measurements tissue optical properties based photon migration instruments. A comparative analysis with approximation radiative transfer theory made show that non-diffusive effects enhanced...
