Meanwhile, universe can be described as an open system. Under the non-trivial sound speed, the method of open quantum systems combined with Arnoldi iterations is employed to study the Krylov complexity throughout the early universe, including the inflationary, radiation-dominated, and matter-dominated epochs. A key ingredient in the analysis is the open two-mode squeezed state formalism and the generalized Lanczos algorithm. To numerically compute the Krylov complexity, the evolution equations for the parameters <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <msub>\u0000 <mi>r</mi>\u0000 <mi>k</mi>\u0000 </msub>\u0000 <annotation>$r_k$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math> and <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <msub>\u0000 <mi>ϕ</mi>\u0000 <mi>k</mi>\u0000 </msub>\u0000 <annotation>$phi _k$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math> are derived for the first time within an open two-mode squeezed state. The results indicate that the Krylov complexity exhibits a similar trend in both the standard case and the case with non-trivial sound speed. To distinguish between these two scenarios, the Krylov entropy for completeness is also investigated. The evolution of the Krylov entropy shows a clear difference between the standard case and the non-trivial sound speed case. Furthermore, based on the behavior of the Lanczos coefficients, the case of non-trivial sound speed behaves as a maximally chaotic system. However, the numerical results suggest that the Krylov complexity does not saturate to a constant value due to the huge expansion of spacetime background.

Vacaru","doi":"10.1002/prop.70072","DOIUrl":"10.1002/prop.70072","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Over the last seventy years, many Finsler-type geometric and modified gravity theories (MGTs) have been elaborated. They have been formulated in terms of different classes of Finsler generating functions, metric and nonmetric structures, nonlinear and linear connections, and various sets of postulated fundamental geometric objects with corresponding nonholonomic dynamical or evolution equations. In several approaches, the resulting gravitational and matter field equations were not completely defined geometrically, or were developed only for restricted models. A progress report with historical remarks and a summary of new results on Finsler–Lagrange–Hamilton (FLH) geometric flow and gravity theories is presented. Such theories can be constructed in an axiomatic form on (co)tangent Lorentz bundles as nontrivial modifications of Einstein gravity. They are characterized by nonlinear dispersion relations and may encode nonassociative and noncommutative corrections from string theory, quantum effects, or other MGTs. To generate exact and physically relevant solutions of the FLH–modified Einstein equations, the anholonomic frame and connection deformation method is developed. A proof of the general integrability of such FLH geometric flows and MGTs is provided, and new classes of generic off-diagonal solutions determined by generating functions and effective sources that, in general, depend on all spacetime and (co)fiber coordinates are analyzed. In general, such off-diagonal configurations do not exhibit horizon/hypersurface duality or holographic structures and thus lie outside the Bekenstein–Hawking thermodynamic paradigm. Instead, by extending G. Perelman's entropy concept to relativistic FLH geometric flows, new classes of geometric thermodynamic variables that characterize different FLH theories and their associated solution spaces are introduce and computed.</p>","PeriodicalId":55150,"journal":{"name":"Fortschritte Der Physik-Progress of Physics","volume":"74 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146216798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
