abstract

Spatially-bound objects across diverse length and energy scales are characterized by a binding energy. We propose that their spatial structure is mathematically encoded as information in their momentum modes and described by a measure known as configurational entropy (CE). Investigating solitonic Q-balls and stars with a polytropic equation of state $P = K{\rho}^{\gamma}$, we show that objects with large binding energy have low CE, whereas those at the brink of instability (zero binding energy) have near maximal CE. In particular, we use the CE to find the critical charge allowing for classically stable Q-balls and the Chandrasekhar limit for white dwarfs $({\gamma} = 4/3)$ with an accuracy of a few percent.

  1. Multishell Dirac fermions in the Einstein-Dirac system

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Multishell solutions of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Dirac system are constructed for 2, 6, 12, and 20 fermions.

  2. Cosmological comoving behavior of the configurational entropy

    gr-qc 2019-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper claims the configurational entropy of cosmic fluids scales as a^{-3} for radiation and a^{-3/2} for matter, but the radiation result conflicts with the scale invariance of a blackbody spectrum.

  3. Configurational entropy and instability of tachyonic braneworld

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a tachyonic braneworld, configurational entropy has a minimum at a critical scale-factor rate for AdS or flat bulk, and the paper suggests this rate sets cosmic acceleration or inflation, though the physical link i...

  4. Probing the era of reheating for reconstructed inflationary potential in the RS II braneworld

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper derives constraints on the reheating temperature and the five-dimensional Planck mass in RS II braneworld inflation using a reconstructed attractor-like inflaton potential.
