Quantum mechanism of extremely high energy processes at neutron star collapse and of quasar luminosity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum topological mechanism explaining high-energy astrophysical phenomena like gamma-ray bursts and quasar luminosity through Fermi sphere collapse in strong gravitational fields.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum topological approach to explain the collapse of Fermi spheres in neutron stars and accretion disks, linking quantum statistics decay to energetic astrophysical events.

Findings

Quantum statistics decay causes neutron star collapse into black holes.

Collapse of Fermi spheres can produce gamma-ray bursts and quasar luminosity.

Mass-energy conversion efficiency reaches about 30%.

Abstract

Using the braid group topological approach to quantum statistics we demonstrate that for strong gravitational field occurring in neutron star merger with mass exceeding the Tolman, Oppenheimer and Volkoff limit the quantum statistics of particles beneath the photon sphere decays, which results in an instant relief of quantum degeneracy pressure in the star. This causes a rapid shrink of the matter to a black hole with quite different quantum collective character of particles. The scheme of neutron Fermi sphere collapse is proposed as the possible isotropic source of short giant gamma-ray bursts. The similar quantum mechanism of collapse of Fermi spheres of electrons and protons in plasma of accretion disc in vicinity of the Schwarzschild horizon of galactic black hole is able to elucidate the giant luminosity of remote quasars. The efficiency of the mass to energy conversion via collapse of the Fermi sphere is ca. 30%, not reachable for any other known physical process except of the matter-antimatter annihilation.
