We use our model of the small scale structure on cosmic strings to develop further the result of Siemens, Olum, and Vilenkin that the gravitational radiation length scale on cosmic strings is smaller than the previously assumed $\Gamma G\mu t$. We discuss some of the properties of cosmic string loops at this cutoff scale, and we argue that recent network simulations point to two populations of cosmic string loops, one near the horizon scale and one near the gravitational radiation cutoff.

The missing of a Keplerian fall-off in the observed galaxy rotation curves represents classical evidence for the existence of dark matter on galactic scales. There has been some recent activity concerning the potential of modelling galactic systems with the help of general relativity. This was motivated by claims that by the use of full general relativity dark matter could be made superfluous. Here we focus on possible axisymmetric and stationary solutions of Einstein's equations with rotating dust. After a short review of the current debate we pursue the idea of approaching such relativistic models in a Newtonian language. We analyse rigidly as well as differentially rotating Newtonian and Post-Newtonian spacetimes and find that it is necessary to incorporate a Post-Newtonian term in order to make physical sense.

In the (2+2) formulation of general relativity spacetime is foliated by a two-parameter family of spacelike 2-surfaces (instead of the more usual one-parameter family of spacelike 3-surfaces). In a partially gauge-fixed setting (double-null gauge), I write down the symplectic structure of general relativity in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic quantities associated with these 2-surfaces. This leads to an identification of the reduced phase space degrees of freedom. In particular, I show that the two physical degrees of freedom of general relativity are naturally encoded in a quantity closely related to the twist of the pair of null normals to the 2-surfaces. By considering the characteristic initial-value problem I establish a canonical transformation between these and the more usually quoted conformal 2-metric (or shear) degrees of freedom. (This paper is based on a talk given at the Fifth Midwest Relativity Conference, Milwaukee, USA.)

The 3+1 GRMHD equations for Schwarzschild spacetime in Rindler coordinates with isothermal state of plasma are formulated. We consider the cases of non-rotating and rotating backgrounds with non-magnetized and magnetized plasmas. For these cases, the perturbed form of these equations are linearized and Fourier analyzed by introducing plane wave type solutions. The determinant of these equations in each case leads to two dispersion relations which give value of the wave number $k$. Using the wave number, we obtain information like phase and group velocities etc. which help to discuss the nature of the waves and their characteristics. These provide interesting information about the black hole magnetosphere near the horizon. There are cases of normal and anomalous dispersion. We find a case of normal dispersion of waves when the plasma admits the properties of Veselago medium. Our results agree with those of Mackay et al. according to which rotation of a black hole is required for negative phase velocity propagation.

A satisfactory formulation of the laws of physics entails that the future evolution of a physical system should be determined from appropriate initial conditions. The existence of Cauchy horizons in solutions of the Einstein field equations is therefore problematic, and expected to be an unstable artifact of General Relativity. This is asserted by the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture, which was recently put into question by an analysis of the linearized equations in the exterior of charged black holes in an expanding universe. Here, we numerically evolve the nonlinear Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field equations with a positive cosmological constant, under spherical symmetry, and provide strong evidence that mass inflation indeed does not occur in the near extremal regime. This shows that nonlinear effects might not suffice to save the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture.

To every axi-symmetric isolated horizon we associate two sets of numbers, $M_n$ and $J_n$ with $n = 0, 1, 2, ...$, representing its mass and angular momentum multipoles. They provide a diffeomorphism invariant characterization of the horizon geometry. Physically, they can be thought of as the `source multipoles' of black holes in equilibrium. These structures have a variety of potential applications ranging from equations of motion of black holes and numerical relativity to quantum gravity.

We obtain new exact solutions for the gravitational field equations in the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity, thereby obtaining different classes of black holes surrounded by fluids, taking into account some specific values of the parameter of the equations of state, $w$. In order to obtain these solutions in the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity, we consider viable particular choices of the $f(R,T)$. Considering an anisotropic energy-momentum tensor, we write the field equations with the required symmetries for this type of solution. Then, we analyze the conditions of energy in a general way and also for particular values of the parameter $w$ of the equation of state. In addition, thermodynamic quantities, such as Hawking temperature and mass associated to the horizons of solutions, are taken into account in our analysis.

Theories beyond general relativity (GR) modify the propagation of gravitational waves (GWs). In some, inhomogeneities (aka. gravitational lenses) allow interactions between the metric and additional fields to cause lens-induced birefringence (LIB): a different speed of the two linear GW polarisations ($+$ and $\times$). Inhomogeneities then act as non-isotropic crystals, splitting the GW signal into two components whose relative time delay depends on the theory and lens parameters. Here we study the observational prospects for GW scrambling, i.e when the time delay between both GW polarisations is smaller than the signal's duration and the waveform recorded by a detector is distorted. We analyze the latest LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog, GWTC-3, and find no conclusive evidence for LIB. The highest log Bayes factor that we find in favour of LIB is $3.21$ for GW$190521$, a particularly loud but short event. However, when accounting for false alarms due to (Gaussian) noise fluctuations, this evidence is below 1-$\sigma$. The tightest constraint on the time delay is $<0.51$ ms (90% C.L.) from GW$200311\_115853$. From the non-observation of GW scrambling, we constrain the optical depth for LIB, accounting for the chance of randomly distributed lenses (eg. galaxies) along the line of sight. Our LIB constraints on a (quartic) scalar-tensor Horndeski theory are more stringent than solar system tests for a wide parameter range and comparable to GW170817 in some limits. Interpreting GW190521 as an AGN binary (i.e. taking an AGN flare as a counterpart) allows even more stringent constraints. Our results demonstrate the potential and high sensitivity achievable by tests of GR, based on GW lensing.

A significant number of stellar-mass black-hole (BH) binaries may merge in galactic nuclei or in the surrounding gas disks. With purposed space-borne gravitational-wave observatories, we may use such a binary as a signal carrier to probe modulations induced by a central supermassive BH (SMBH), which further allows us to place constraints on the SMBH's properties. We show in particular the de Sitter precession of the inner stellar-mass binary's orbital angular momentum (AM) around the AM of the outer orbit will be detectable if the precession period is comparable to the duration of observation, typically a few years. Once detected, the precession can be combined with the Doppler shift arising from the outer orbital motion to determine the mass of the SMBH and the outer orbital separation individually and each with percent-level accuracy. If we further assume a joint detection by space-borne and ground-based detectors, the detectability threshold could be extended to a precession period of ~100 yr.

The present work investigates the general wormhole solution in Einstein gravity with an exponential shape function around an ultrastatic and a finite redshift geometry. The geodesic motion around the wormholes is studied in which the deflection angle of the orbiting photon sphere is found to be negative after a certain region, indicating the presence of repulsive effect of gravity in both the ultrastatic and finite redshift wormholes. Various unbounded and bounded timelike trajectories are presented on the wormhole embedding diagrams, in which some of the bound orbits involve intersection points that may lead to causality violating geodesics. Another class of closed timelike geodesics are obtained in the unstable circular trajectory that appeared at the wormhole throat. Finally, the trajectories are classified in terms of the family of CTG orbits.

In this work we characterise the performance of a new search technique designed to be sensitive to the remnants of binary neutron star systems. Sensitivity estimates of the new method on simulated data are competitive against those of other work. Previous searches for a gravitational-wave signal from a possible neutron star remnant of the binary neutron star merger event GW170817 have focused on short ($<500$~s) and long duration (2.5~hr -- 8~day) signals. To date, no such post-merger signal has been detected. We introduce a new piecewise model which has the flexibility to accurately follow gravitational-wave signals which are rapidly evolving in frequency, such as those which may be emitted from young neutron stars born from binary neutron star mergers or supernovae. We investigate the sensitivity and computational cost of this piecewise model when used in a fully coherent 1800-second $\mathcal{F}$-statistic search on simulated data containing possible signals from the GW170817 remnant. The sensitivity of the search using the piecewise model is determined using simulated data, with noise consistent with the LIGO second observing run. Across a 100--2000~Hz frequency band, the model achieves a peak sensitivity of $h_{\text{rss}}^{50\%} = 4.4 \times 10^{-23} \text{Hz}^{-1/2}$ at 200~Hz, competitive with other methods. The computational cost of conducting the search, over a bank of $1.1 \times 10^{12}$ templates, is estimated at 10 days running on 100 CPU's.

The search for classical or quantum combinatorial invariants of compact n-dimensional manifolds (n=3,4) plays a key role both in topological field theories and in lattice quantum gravity. We present here a generalization of the partition function proposed by Ponzano and Regge to the case of a compact 3-dimensional simplicial pair $(M^3, \partial M^3)$. The resulting state sum $Z[(M^3, \partial M^3)]$ contains both Racah-Wigner 6j symbols associated with tetrahedra and Wigner 3jm symbols associated with triangular faces lying in $\partial M^3$. The analysis of the algebraic identities associated with the combinatorial transformations involved in the proof of the topological invariance makes it manifest a common structure underlying the 3-dimensional models with empty and non empty boundaries respectively. The techniques developed in the 3-dimensional case can be further extended in order to deal with combinatorial models in n=2,4 and possibly to establish a hierarchy among such models. As an example we derive here a 2-dimensional closed state sum model including suitable sums of products of double 3jm symbols, each one of them being associated with a triangle in the surface.

The search for classical or quantum combinatorial invariants of compact n-dimensional manifolds (n=3,4) plays a key role both in topological field theories and in lattice quantum gravity. We present here a generalization of the partition function proposed by Ponzano and Regge to the case of a compact 3-dimensional simplicial pair $(M^3, \partial M^3)$. The resulting state sum $Z[(M^3, \partial M^3)]$ contains both Racah-Wigner 6j symbols associated with tetrahedra and Wigner 3jm symbols associated with triangular faces lying in $\partial M^3$. The analysis of the algebraic identities associated with the combinatorial transformations involved in the proof of the topological invariance makes it manifest a common structure underlying the 3-dimensional models with empty and non empty boundaries respectively. The techniques developed in the 3-dimensional case can be further extended in order to deal with combinatorial models in n=2,4 and possibly to establish a hierarchy among such models. As an example we derive here a 2-dimensional closed state sum model including suitable sums of products of double 3jm symbols, each one of them being associated with a triangle in the surface.

In this paper, we analyze the rotating Einstein-non-linear-Maxwell-Yukawa black hole solution by Janis-Newman algorithmic rule and complex calculations. We investigate the basic properties (i.e., Hawking radiation) for the corresponding black hole solution. From the horizon structure of the black hole, we discuss the graphical behavior of Hawking temperature $T_H$ and analyze the effects of spin parameter (appears due to Newman-Janis approach) on the $T_H$ of black hole. Furthermore, we investigate the corrected temperature for rotating Einstein-non-linear-Maxwell-Yukawa black hole by using the vector particles tunneling strategy which is based on Hamilton-Jacobi method. We additionally study the graphical explanation of corrected $T_H$ through outer horizon to investigate the physical and stable conditions of black hole. Finally, we compute the corrected entropy and check that the effect of charged, rotation and gravity on entropy.

In this letter we investigate some consequences of considering our 4D observable universe as locally and isometrically embeded into a 5D spacetime, where gravity is described by a Brans-Dicke theory in vacuum. Once we impose the embeding conditions we obtain that gravity on the 4D spacetime is governed by the Einstein field equations modified by an extra term that can play the role of a dynamical cosmological constant. Two examples were studied. In the first we derive a cosmological model of a universe filled only with a cosmological constant. In the second we obtain a cosmological solution describing a universe filled with matter, radiation and a dynamical cosmological constant, in agree with observational data. Due to the 5D geometrical origin for the dynamical cosmological constant we interpret that the acceleration in the expansion is explained without the introduction of a dark energy component. Moreover, all 4D matter sources are geometrically induced in the same manner as it is usually done in the Wesson's induced matter theory.

Leading order gravitational corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action can lead to a consistent picture of the universe by unifying the epochs of inflation and dark energy in a single framework. While the leading local correction induces an inflationary phase in the early universe, the leading non-local term leads to an accelerated expansion of the universe at the present epoch. We argue that both the leading UV and IR terms can be obtained within the framework of a covariant effective field theory of gravity. The perturbative gravitational corrections therefore provide a fundamental basis for understanding a possible connection between the two epochs.

In this letter, we obtain two new embedded WH solutions by using the class-I approach in the background of newly fourth-order Ricci inverse gravity. We show that the combination of these newly calculated shape functions and Ricci inverse gravity provides us with the possibility of obtaining traversable wormholes. All the required wormhole properties are discussed, along with flaring out and flatness conditions. The embedded diagrams within the scope of upper and lower universes are provided under the effect of both newly calculated embedded shape functions. All the energy conditions are explored with valid and negative regions. The presence of exotic matter is confirmed due to the negative region in all the energy conditions, specifically in the null energy condition. The Doppler effect through the red-blue shifts function is also discussed. Several key findings from the current research are described that demonstrate the validity of these wormhole solutions in Ricci inverse gravity.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory forms part of the international effort to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. One of the major obstacles for this project with the first generation detectors was the effect of seismic noise on instrument sensitivity - environmental disturbances causing motion of the interferometer optics, coupling as noise in the gravitational wave data output. Typically transient noise events have been identified by finding coincidence between noise in an auxiliary data signal (with negligible sensitivity to gravitational waves) and noise in the gravitational wave data, but attempts to include seismometer readings in this scheme have proven ineffective. We present a new method of generating a list of times of high seismic noise by tuning a gravitational wave burst detection pipeline to the low frequency signature of these events. This method has proven very effective at removing transients of seismic origin from the gravitational wave (GW) data with only a small loss of analysable time. We also present an outline for extending this method to other noise sources.

We reconsider the problem of $f(R)$ theories of gravity coupled to Born-Infeld theory of electrodynamics formulated in a Palatini approach, where metric and connection are independent fields. By studying electrovacuum configurations in a static and spherically symmetric space-time, we find solutions which reduce to their Reissner-Nordstr\"om counterparts at large distances but undergo important non-perturbative modifications close to the center. Our new analysis reveals that the point-like singularity is replaced by a finite-size wormhole structure, which provides a geodesically complete and thus nonsingular space-time, despite the existence of curvature divergences at the wormhole throat. Implications of these results, in particular for the cosmic censorship conjecture, are discussed.

Dynamical Chern-Simons gravity has an interesting feature that the parity violating term exists, and the coupling is determined by a dynamical scalar field. When the spacetime has spherical symmetry, the parity violating term vanishes, and then the metric of the Schwarzschild spacetime with vanishing scalar field is an exact solution of dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. The effect of the Chern-Simons coupling appears in the study of perturbation around the Schwarzschild spacetime. Due to the parity violating term, the odd parity metric perturbation and the perturbed scalar field are coupled, and the perturbed field equations take the form of the coupled system of the Schr\"odinger equations. We prove linear mode stability for a generic massive scalar.

We calculate the angular resolution of the planned LISA detector, a space-based laser interferometer for measuring low-frequency gravitational waves from galactic and extragalactic sources. LISA is not a pointed instrument; it is an all-sky monitor with a quadrupolar beam pattern. LISA will measure simultaneously both polarization components of incoming gravitational waves, so the data will consist of two time series. All physical properties of the source, including its position, must be extracted from these time series. LISA's angular resolution is therefore not a fixed quantity, but rather depends on the type of signal and on how much other information must be extracted. Information about the source position will be encoded in the measured signal in three ways: 1) through the relative amplitudes and phases of the two polarization components, 2) through the periodic Doppler shift imposed on the signal by the detector's motion around the Sun, and 3) through the further modulation of the signal caused by the detector's time-varying orientation. We derive the basic formulae required to calculate the LISA's angular resolution $\Delta \Omega_S$ for a given source. We then evaluate $\Delta \Omega_S$ for two sources of particular interest: monchromatic sources and mergers of supermassive black holes. For these two types of sources, we calculate (in the high signal-to-noise approximation) the full variance-covariance matrix, which gives the accuracy to which all source parameters can be measured. Since our results on LISA's angular resolution depend mainly on gross features of the detector geometry, orbit, and noise curve, we expect these results to be fairly insensitive to modest changes in detector design that may occur between now and launch. We also expect that our calculations could be easily modified to apply to a modified design.

Here we examine the circular motion of test particles and photons in the spacetime geometry of charged black hole surrounded by quintessence and clouds of strings for the equation of state parameter $\omega_q=-2/3$. We observe that there exist stable circular orbits in this geometry for very small values of the quintessence and string cloud parameters, i.e., $0<\gamma<<1$ and $0<\alpha<<1$. We observe that if the values of $\gamma$ and $\alpha$ increase, the test particle can more easily escape the gravitational field of the black hole. While the effect of the charge $Q$ of the black hole on the effective potential is just opposite to that of the $\gamma$ and $\alpha$. Further, we investigate the quasi-periodic oscillations of test particles near the stable circular orbits. With the increasing values of $Q$, the stable circular orbits get away from the central object; therefore, one can observe lower epicyclic frequencies away from the central gravitating source with the increase in the values of $Q$. The redshift parameter $z$ of the photons emitted by the charged test particles moving in the stable circular orbits around the central source increases with an increase in the parameter $\alpha$ and decreases with an increase in the values of the charge $Q$. In the Banados-Silk-West (BSW) process study, we note that the centre of mass-energy at the horizon of this Riessner-Nordstrom black hole with quintessence and string clouds increases indefinitely if the charge of one of the colliding particles attains its critical value. For a better understanding of the study, we show the dependence of the radii of the circular orbits, energy and angular momentum of the particles, effective potential, effective force, quasi-periodic oscillations and red-blue shifts of photons of the test particles in the circular orbits on the parameters $\alpha$, $\gamma$ and $Q$ graphically.

In a time-symmetric system, the instantaneous correlations exhibited by two spatially separated particles in an entangled state can be established through other particles, and can reveal advanced interaction effects. In particular, the existence of advanced gravity waves may be detectable through suitable arrangements at the Laser Interferometer Gravitation- Wave Observatory.

The gravitational-wave (GW) detector data are affected by short-lived instrumental or terrestrial transients, called glitches, which can simulate GW signals. Mitigation of glitches is particularly difficult for algorithms which target generic sources of short-duration GW transients (GWT), and do not rely on GW waveform models to distinguish astrophysical signals from noise, such as Coherent WaveBurst (cWB). This work is part of the long-term effort to mitigate transient noises in cWB, which led to the introduction of specific estimators, and a machine-learning based signal-noise classification algorithm. Here, we propose an autoencoder neural network, integrated into cWB, that learns transient noises morphologies from GW time-series. We test its performance on the glitch family known as blip. The resulting sensitivity to generic GWT and binary black hole mergers significantly improves when tested on LIGO detectors data from the last observation period (O3b). At false alarm rate of one event per 50 years the sensitivity volume increases up to 30% for signal morphologies similar to blip glitches. In perspective, this tool can adapt to classify different transient noise classes that may affect future observing runs, enhancing GWT searches.

Starting from the Oppenheimer-Snyder solution for gravitational collapse, we show by putting it into the harmonic coordinates, for which the distant Riemann metric is galilean, that the final state of collapse for a collapsed star of any mass, including the one thought to occupy the centre of our galaxy, has a finite radius roughly equal to its Schwarzschild radius. By applying an expression for the gravitational energy tensor, we are able to explain the concentration of stellar material in a thin shell close to the surface, which gives an explanation for why such a star does not undergo further collapse to a black hole. The interior of the star is characterized by a low density of the original stellar material, but, far from being empty, this region is occupied by a very high density of gravitational energy; this density is negative and the consequent repulsion is what produces the surface concentration of stellar material.

Starting from the Oppenheimer-Snyder solution for gravitational collapse, we show by putting it into the harmonic coordinates, for which the distant Riemann metric is galilean, that the final state of collapse for a collapsed star of any mass, including the one thought to occupy the centre of our galaxy, has a finite radius roughly equal to its Schwarzschild radius. By applying an expression for the gravitational energy tensor, we are able to explain the concentration of stellar material in a thin shell close to the surface, which gives an explanation for why such a star does not undergo further collapse to a black hole. The interior of the star is characterized by a low density of the original stellar material, but, far from being empty, this region is occupied by a very high density of gravitational energy; this density is negative and the consequent repulsion is what produces the surface concentration of stellar material.

The stochastic method based on the influence functional formalism introduced in an earlier paper to treat particle creation in near-uniformly accelerated detectors and collapsing masses is applied here to treat thermal and near-thermal radiance in certain types of cosmological expansions. It is indicated how the appearance of thermal radiance in different cosmological spacetimes and in the two apparently distinct classes of black hole and cosmological spacetimes can be understood under a unifying conceptual and methodological framework.

I report, emphasizing some key open issues and some aspects that are particularly relevant for phenomenology, on the status of the development of "doubly-special" relativistic ("DSR") theories with both an observer-independent high-velocity scale and an observer-independent small-length/large-momentum scale, possibly relevant for the Planck-scale/quantum-gravity realm. I also give a true/false characterization of the structure of these theories. In particular, I discuss a DSR scenario without modification of the energy-momentum dispersion relation and without the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e Hopf algebra, a scenario with deformed Poincar\'e symmetries which is not a DSR scenario, some scenarios with both an invariant length scale and an invariant velocity scale which are not DSR scenarios, and a DSR scenario in which it is easy to verify that some observable relativistic (but non-special-relativistic) features are insensitive to possible nonlinear redefinitions of symmetry generators.

We have obtained an exact vacuum solution from a gravity sector contained in the minimal standard-model extension. The theoretical model assumes a Riemann spacetime coupled to the bumblebee field which is responsible for the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking. The solution achieved in a static and spherically symmetric scenario establishes a Schwarzschild-like black hole. In order to study the effects of the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking, we have investigated some classics tests including the advance of the perihelion, bending of light and Shapiro's time-delay. Furthermore, we have computed some upper-bounds from which the most stringent one attains a sensitivity at the $10^{-13}$ level.

Capturing the image of the shadow cast by the event horizon of an illuminated black hole is, at the most basic level, an experiment of extreme light deflection in a strongly curved spacetime. As such, the properties of an imaged shadow can be used to probe the general relativistic Kerr nature of astrophysical black holes. As an example of this prospect, it is commonly asserted that a shadow can test the validity of the theory's famous `no hair theorem' for the black hole's mass and spin multipole moments. In this paper, we assess this statement by calculating the shadow's equatorial radius in spacetimes with an arbitrary multipolar structure and within a slow rotation approximation. We find that when moments higher than the quadrupole are taken into account, the shadow acquires a high degree of degeneracy as a function of the deviation from the Kerr multipole moments. The results of our analysis suggest that dark objects with strongly non-Kerr multipolar structure could nevertheless produce a Kerr-like shadow with its characteristic quasi-circular shape.

In this paper we show that wormholes in (2+1) dimensions (3-D) cannot be sourced solely by both Casimir energy and tension, differently from what happens in a 4-D scenario, in which case it has been shown recently, by the direct computation of the exact shape and redshift functions of a wormhole solution, that this is possible. We show that in a 3-D spacetime the same is not true since the arising of at least an event horizon is inevitable. We do the analysis for massive and massless fermions, as well as for scalar fields, considering quasi-periodic boundary conditions and find that a possibility to circumvent such a restriction is to introduce, besides the 3-D Casimir energy density and tension, a cosmological constant, embedding the surface in a 4-D manifold and applying a perpendicular weak magnetic field. This causes an additional tension on it, which contributes to the formation of the wormhole. Finally, we discuss the possibility of producing the condensed matter analogous of this wormhole in a graphene sheet and analyze the electronic transport through it.

If in a finite universe, the tree-level vacuum is a symmetric superposition of coherent states, in each of which the inflaton field assumes a different, energy-minimizing mean value (vev), then the resulting energy is positive and decreases exponentially as the volume of the universe increases. This effect can drive inflation when that volume is small and explain part of dark energy when it is big, but the effect is exceedingly tiny except at very early times.

In an earlier analysis \href{https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.085007}{Phys. Rev. D 105 (2022) 085007}, we have explored the event of acceleration radiation for an atom freely falling into the event horizon of a quantum-corrected Schwarzschild black hole. We want to explore the acceleration-radiation when the atom is freely falling into the event horizon of a charged quantum-corrected black hole. We consider the quantum effects of the electromagnetic field along with the gravitational field in an asymptotic safety regime. Introducing the quantum improved Reisner-Nordstr\"{o}m metric, we have calculated the excitation probability of a two-level atom freely falling into the event horizon of quantum improved charged black hole. Recently, in the case of the braneworld black hole (where the tidal charge has the same dimension as the square of the charge of a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole in natural units), we have observed from the form of the transition probability that the temperature will have no contribution in the first order of the tidal charge. We observe that for a quantum corrected Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole, there is a second-order contribution in the charge parameter in the temperature that can be read off from the transition probability. Next, we calculate the HBAR entropy in this thought experiment and show that this entropy has a leading order Bekenstein-Hawking entropy term along with some higher order correction terms involving logarithmic as well as fractional terms of the black hole area due to infalling photons. We have finally investigated the validity of Wien's displacement law and compared the critical value of the field wavelength with the general Schwarzschild black hole and its corresponding quantum-corrected case.

In this paper, a complete classification of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime by using approximate Noether approach is presented. Considered spacetime is discussed for three different types of universe i.e. flat, open and closed. Different forms of cosmic scale factor $a$ with respect to the nature of the universe, which posses the nontrivial Noether gauge symmetries (NGS) are reported. The perturbed Lagrangian corresponding to FRW metric in the Noether equation is used to get Noether operators. For different types of universe minimal and maximal set of Noether operators are reported. A list of Noether operators are also computed which is not only independent from the choice of the cosmic scale factor but also the choice type of universe. Further, corresponding energy type first integral of motions are also calculated.

Afterwards, we explore quantum oscillator fields by considering the Klein-Gordon oscillator within the same space-time characterized by a cosmological constant. We obtain an approximate expression for the energy eigenvalue of the oscillator fields. In fact, the energy spectrum in both scenarios are examined and show the influences of the cosmological constant and geometry's topology.

We derive the entropy product rule for Taub-NUT~(Newman-Unti-Tamburino)-de~Sitter black hole~(BH) and Taub-NUT--Anti-de~Sitter BH. We show that the entropy products in terms of both the physical horizons are \emph{mass-independent}. Both \emph{perturbative} approximation and \emph{direct} method have been considered. By introducing the cosmological horizon we show that for Taub-NUT-de~Sitter BH, there exists a mass-independent entropy functional relation in terms of three horizons namely event horizon~(EH), Cauchy horizon~(CH) and cosmological horizon~(CHH) which depends on cosmological parameter~($\Lambda$) and the NUT parameter~($N$). For Taub-NUT-anti-de~Sitter BHs, we determine the mass-independent entropy functional relations in terms of two physical horizons~(namely EH and CH) which depends on only NUT parameter. Some-times some complicated functions of EH entropy and CH entropy are also strictly mass-independent. This is plausible only due to the new formalism developed in~\cite{wu}~[Phys. Rev. D 100, 101501(R)~(2019)] for NUT class of BHs. The formalism states that a generic four-dimensional Taub-NUT spacetime should be described completely in terms of three or four different types of thermodynamic hairs. They could be defined as the Komar mass~($M=m$), the angular momentum~($J_{n}=mn$), the gravitomagnetic charge ($N=n$), the dual~(magnetic) mass $(\tilde{M}=n)$. Finally, we could say that this universality is mainly due to the presence of \emph{new conserved charges $J_{N}=MN$} which is closely analogue to the Kerr-like angular momentum $J=aM$.

The capture of compact stellar remnants by galactic black holes provides a unique laboratory for exploring the near horizon geometry of the Kerr spacetime, or possible departures from general relativity if the central cores prove not to be black holes. The gravitational radiation produced by these Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) encodes a detailed map of the black hole geometry, and the detection and characterization of these signals is a major scientific goal for the LISA mission. The waveforms produced are very complex, and the signals need to be coherently tracked for hundreds to thousands of cycles to produce a detection, making EMRI signals one of the most challenging data analysis problems in all of gravitational wave astronomy. Estimates for the number of templates required to perform an exhaustive grid-based matched-filter search for these signals are astronomically large, and far out of reach of current computational resources. Here I describe an alternative approach that employs a hybrid between Genetic Algorithms and Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques, along with several time saving techniques for computing the likelihood function. This approach has proven effective at the blind extraction of relatively weak EMRI signals from simulated LISA data sets.

In a paper posted on the arXiv a few weeks ago Berti, Brito and Cardoso \cite{Berti+14} suggest that ultra-high-energy particles can emerge from collisions in a black hole's ergosphere. This can happen if the process involves a particle on an outgoing trajectory very close to the black hole. Clearly such a particle cannot emerge from the black hole. It is argued \cite{Berti+14} that this particle can arise in another collision. Thus the process involves two collisions: one in which an outgoing particle is produced extremely close to the horizon, and a second one in which energy is gained. The real efficiency of this process should take into account, therefore, the energy needed to produce the first particle. We show here that while this process is kinematically possible, it requires a deposition of energy that is divergently large compared with the energy of the escaping particle. Thus, in contradiction to claims of infinitely high efficiencies, the efficiency of the combined process is in fact extremely small, approaching zero for very high output energies. Even under more general conditions than those considered in \cite{Berti+14} the total energy gain never diverges, and is larger only by a factor of a few than the energy gain of the original collisional Penrose process that takes place between two infalling particles \cite{Piran+75,PiranShaham77,Bejger+12}

The real efficiency of this process should take into account, therefore, the energy needed to produce the first particle. We show here that while this process is kinematically possible, it requires a deposition of energy that is divergently large compared with the energy of the escaping particle. Thus, in contradiction to claims of infinitely high efficiencies, the efficiency of the combined process is in fact extremely small, approaching zero for very high output energies. Even under more general conditions than those considered in \cite{Berti+14} the total energy gain never diverges, and is larger only by a factor of a few than the energy gain of the original collisional Penrose process that takes place between two infalling particles \cite{Piran+75,PiranShaham77,Bejger+12}

The mathematically correct approach to constructing quantum geometrodynamics of a closed universe formulated in Part I is realized on the cosmological Bianchi-IX model with scalar fields. The physical adequacy of the obtained gauge-noninvariant theory to existing concepts about possible cosmological scenarios is shown. It is demonstrated that the Wheeler-DeWitt quantum geometrodynamics based on general quantum theoretical principles with probability interpretation of a closed universe wave function does not exist. The problem of the creation of the Universe is considered as a computational problem of a quantum reduction of the singular state "Nothing" to one of possible initial physical quantum states.

We consider the coupling of scalar topological matter to (2+1)-dimensional gravity. The matter fields consist of a 0-form scalar field and a 2-form tensor field. We carry out a canonical analysis of the classical theory, investigating its sectors and solutions. We show that the model admits both BTZ-like black-hole solutions and homogeneous/inhomogeneous FRW cosmological solutions.We also investigate the global charges associated with the model and show that the algebra of charges is the extension of the Kac-Moody algebra for the field-rigid gauge charges, and the Virasoro algebrafor the diffeomorphism charges. Finally, we show that the model can be written as a generalized Chern-Simons theory, opening the perspective for its formulation as a generalized higher gauge theory.

Data from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to be dominated by frequency noise from its lasers. However the noise from any one laser appears more than once in the data and there are combinations of the data that are insensitive to this noise. These combinations, called time delay interferometry (TDI) variables, have received careful study, and point the way to how LISA data analysis may be performed. Here we approach the problem from the direction of statistical inference, and show that these variables are a direct consequence of a principal component analysis of the problem. We present a formal analysis for a simple LISA model and show that there are eigenvectors of the noise covariance matrix that do not depend on laser frequency noise. Importantly, these orthogonal basis vectors correspond to linear combinations of TDI variables. As a result we show that the likelihood function for source parameters using LISA data can be based on TDI combinations of the data without loss of information.

We study interior of a charged, non-rotating distorted black hole. We consider static and axisymmetric black holes, and focus on a special case when an electrically charged distorted solution is obtained by the Harrison-Ernst transformation from an uncharged one. We demonstrate that the Cauchy horizon of such black hole remains regular, provided the distortion is regular at the event horizon. The shape and the inner geometry of both the outer and inner (Cauchy) horizons are studied. We demonstrate that there exists a duality between the properties of the horizons. Proper time of a free fall of a test particle moving in the interior of the distorted black hole along the symmetry axis is calculated. We also study the property of the curvature in the inner domain between the horizons. Simple relations between the 4D curvature invariants and the Gaussian curvature of the outer and inner horizon surfaces are found.

We explicitly write down the pressure and the external gravitational fields in terms of $\rho$ and $d$, the pressure is positive and bounded, presenting a maximum at an asymmetrical position. And if $\sqrt{\rho}\,d$ is small enough, the dominant energy condition is satisfied all over the spacetime. We find that this solution presents many interesting features. In particular, it has an empty singular boundary in one of the vacua.

We present a new approach for the Cauchy-characteristic extraction of gravitational radiation strain, news function, and the flux of the energy-momentum, supermomentum and angular momentum associated with the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs asymptotic symmetries. In Cauchy-characteristic extraction, a characteristic evolution code takes numerical data on an inner worldtube supplied by a Cauchy evolution code, and propagates it outwards to obtain the space-time metric in a neighborhood of null infinity. The metric is first determined in a scrambled form in terms of coordinates determined by the Cauchy formalism. In prior treatments, the waveform is first extracted from this metric and then transformed into an asymptotic inertial coordinate system. This procedure provides the physically proper description of the waveform and the radiated energy but it does not generalize to determine the flux of angular momentum or supermomentum. Here we formulate and implement a new approach which transforms the full metric into an asymptotic inertial frame and provides a uniform treatment of all the radiation fluxes associated with the asymptotic symmetries. Computations are performed and calibrated using the Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC).

In this article we study weak gravitational lensing of regular Bardeen black hole which has scalar charge $g$ and mass $m.$ We investigate the angular position and magnification of non-relativistic images in two cases depending on the presence or absence of photon sphere. Defining dimensionless charge parameter $q=\frac{g}{2m}$ we seek to disappear photon sphere in the case of $|q|>{24\sqrt5}/{125}$ for which the space time metric encounters strongly with naked singularities. We specify the basic parameters of lensing in terms of scalar charge by using the perturbative method and found that the parity of images is different in two cases: (a) The strongly naked singularities is present in the space time. (b) singularity of space time is weak or is eliminated (the black hole lens).

We investigate a static solution with spherical symmetry of a recently proposed field theory of gravitation. In this so-called NDL theory, matter interacts with gravity in accordance with the Weak Equivalence Principle, while gravitons have a nonlinear self-interaction. It is shown that the predictions of NDL agree with those of General Relativity in the three classic tests. However, there are potential differences in the strong-field limit, which we illustrate by proving that this theory does not allow the existence of static and spherically symmetric black holes.

We present a novel approach for setting initial conditions on the mode functions of the Mukhanov Sazaki equation. These conditions are motivated by minimisation of the renormalised stress-energy tensor, and are valid for setting a vacuum state even in a context where the spacetime is changing rapidly. Moreover, these alternative conditions are potentially observationally distinguishable. We apply this to the kinetically dominated universe, and compare with the more traditional approach.

We show that the black hole evolution can be accurately followed through the ringdown period, and comparing with a recently developed perturbative evolution technique, we show that many waveforms in the black hole spectrum of modes, such as l=2 and l=4, including weakly excited nonaxisymmetric modes with m not zero, can be accurately evolved and extracted from the full nonlinear numerical evolution. We also identify new physics contained in higher modes, due to nonlinear effects. The implications for simulations related to gravitational wave astronomy are discussed.

We investigate the long-distance, low-energy, leading quantum corrections to gravitational potential for scalarized neutron star (NS) binary systems, by treating general relativity as an effective field theory. We neglect the extended scales of two star components and treat them as heavy point particles, which gravitationally interact with each other via the exchanges of both gravitons and scalar particles, because of the settled scalar configurations inside the stars. Accordingly, the gravitational potential includes both Newtonian potential and scalar-modified Newtonian-like part. We, in the non-relativistic limit, calculate the non-analytic corrections to the modified gravitational potential directly from the sum of all exchanges of both gravitons and scalar particles to one-loop order. The appropriate vertex rules are extracted from the effective Lagrangian. Our calculations demonstrate that either the graviton exchanges or the exchanges of scalar particles contribute to both classical relativistic corrections and quantum corrections to the gravitational potential of the scalarized NS binaries.

Multiband observations would measure most of the known PN phasing coefficients to an accuracy below a few percent---two orders-of-magnitude better than the best bounds achievable from even `golden' binaries in the 3G or LISA bands. Such multiparameter bounds would play a pivotal role in constraining the parameter space of modified theories of gravity beyond general relativity.

Einstein's theory of General Relativity implies that energy, i.e. matter, curves space-time and thus deforms lightlike geodesics, giving rise to gravitational lensing. This phenomenon is well understood in the case of the Schwarzschild metric, and has been accurately described in the past; however, lensing in the Kerr space-time has received less attention in the literature despite potential practical observational applications. In particular, lensing in such space is not expressible as the gradient of a scalar potential and as such is a source of curl-like signatures and an asymmetric shear pattern. In this paper, we develop a differentiable lensing map in the Kerr metric, reworking and extending previous approaches. By using standard tools of weak gravitational lensing, we isolate and quantify the distortion that is uniquely induced by the presence of angular momentum in the metric. We apply this framework to the distortion induced by a Kerr-like foreground object on a distribution of background of sources. We verify that the new unique lensing signature is orders of magnitude below current observational bounds for a range of lens configurations.

Einstein's theory of General Relativity implies that energy, i.e. matter, curves space-time and thus deforms lightlike geodesics, giving rise to gravitational lensing. This phenomenon is well understood in the case of the Schwarzschild metric, and has been accurately described in the past; however, lensing in the Kerr space-time has received less attention in the literature despite potential practical observational applications. In particular, lensing in such space is not expressible as the gradient of a scalar potential and as such is a source of curl-like signatures and an asymmetric shear pattern. In this paper, we develop a differentiable lensing map in the Kerr metric, reworking and extending previous approaches. By using standard tools of weak gravitational lensing, we isolate and quantify the distortion that is uniquely induced by the presence of angular momentum in the metric. We apply this framework to the distortion induced by a Kerr-like foreground object on a distribution of background of sources. We verify that the new unique lensing signature is orders of magnitude below current observational bounds for a range of lens configurations.

Captures of compact objects (COs) by massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei will be an important source for LISA, the space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detector. However, a large fraction of captures will not be individually resolvable--either because they are too distant, have unfavorable orientation, or have too many years to go before final plunge--and so will constitute a source of ``confusion noise,'' obscuring other types of sources. Here we estimate the shape and overall magnitude of the spectrum of confusion noise from CO captures. The overall magnitude depends on the capture rates, which are rather uncertain, so we present results for a plausible range of rates. We show that the impact of capture confusion noise on the total LISA noise curve ranges from insignificant to modest, depending on these rates. Capture rates at the high end of estimated ranges would raise LISA's overall (effective) noise level by at most a factor \sim 2. While this slightly elevated noise level would somewhat decrease LISA's sensitivity to other classes of sources, overall, this would be a pleasant problem for LISA to have: It would also imply that detection rates for CO captures were at nearly their maximum possible levels (given LISA's baseline design). This paper includes several other results that should be useful in further studies of LISA capture sources, including (i) a calculation of the total GW energy output from generic inspirals into Kerr MBHs, and (ii) an approximate GW energy spectrum for a typical capture.

In this Letter, by reconstructing the $Om$ diagnostic and the deceleration parameter $q$ from the latest Union2 Type Ia supernova sample with and without the systematic error along with the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB), we study the cosmic expanding history, using the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization. We obtain that Union2+BAO favor an expansion with a decreasing of the acceleration at $z<0.3$. However, once the CMB data is added in the analysis, the cosmic acceleration is found to be still increasing, indicating a tension between low redshift data and high redshift one. In order to reduce this tension significantly, two different methods are considered and thus two different subsamples of Union2 are selected. We then find that two different subsamples+BAO+CMB give completely different results on the cosmic expanding history when the systematic error is ignored, with one suggesting a decreasing cosmic acceleration, the other just the opposite, although both of them alone with BAO support that the cosmic acceleration is slowing down. However, once the systematic error is considered, two different subsamples of Union2 along with BAO and CMB all favor an increasing of the present cosmic acceleration. Therefore a clear-cut answer on whether the cosmic acceleration is slowing down calls for more consistent data and more reliable methods to analyze them.

Arbitrarily long lived modes, called quasi-resonances, are known to exist in the spectrum of massive fields for a number of black-hole backgrounds at some discrete values of mass of the field. Here we show that these modes also exist in the background of wormholes, unless a wormhole has a constant red-shift function, that is, tideless in the radial direction. The evidence of quasi-resonances is supported by calculations in the frequency and time domains, which are in a good concordance. At large masses of the field, time-domain profiles of the absolute value of the wave function have peculiar behavior: the long-lived modes dominate in the signal after a long period of power-law tails.

We analyze the impact of finite-time singularities on gravitational waves, in the context of $F(R)$ gravity. We investigate which singularities are allowed to occur during the inflationary era, when gravitational waves are considered, and we discuss the quantitative implications of each allowed singularity. As we show, only a pressure singularity, the so-called Type II and also a Type IV singularity are allowed to occur during the inflationary era. In the case of a Type II, the resulting amplitude of the gravitational wave is zero or almost zero, hence this pressure singularity has a significant impact on the primordial gravitational waves. The case of a Type IV singularity is more interesting since as we show, the singularity has no effect on the amplitude of the gravitational waves. Therefore, this result combined with the fact that the Type IV singularity affects only the dynamics of inflation, leads to the conclusion that the Universe passes smoothly through a Type IV singularity.

This study investigates the effects of different QCD models on the structure of strange quark stars (SQS). In these models, the running coupling constant has a finite value in the infrared region of energy. By imposing some constraints on the strange quark matter (SQM) and exploiting the analytic and background perturbation theories, the equations of states for the SQM are obtained. Then, the properties of SQSs in general relativity are evaluated. By using component masses of GW190425 \cite{Abbott2020ApJL} as well as some conversion relations between the baryonic mass and the gravitational mass, the remnant mass of GW190425 is obtained. Our results for the maximum gravitational mass of SQS are then compared with the remnant mass of GW190425. The results indicate that the obtained maximum gravitational masses are comparable to the remnant mass of GW190425. Therefore, it is proposed that the remnant mass of GW190425 might be a SQS.

We review recent efforts to construct gravitational theories on discrete space-times, usually referred to as the ``consistent discretization'' approach. The resulting theories are free of constraints at the canonical level and therefore allow to tackle many problems that cannot be currently addressed in continuum quantum gravity. In particular the theories imply a natural method for resolving the big bang (and other types) of singularities and predict a fundamental mechanism for decoherence of quantum states that might be relevant to the black hole information paradox. At a classical level, the theories may provide an attractive new path for the exploration of issues in numerical relativity. Finally, the theories can make direct contact with several kinematical results of continuum loop quantum gravity. We review in broad terms several of these results and present in detail as an illustration the classical treatment with this technique of the simple yet conceptually challenging model of two oscillators with constant energy sum.

Interactions between outgoing Hawking particles and ingoing matter are determined by gravitational forces and Standard Model interactions. In particular the gravitational interactions are responsible for the unitarity of the scattering against the horizon, as dictated by the holographic principle, but the Standard Model interactions also contribute, and understanding their effects is an important first step towards a complete understanding of the horizon's dynamics. The relation between in- and outgoing states is described in terms of an operator algebra. In this contribution, in which earlier results are rederived and elaborated upon, we first describe the algebra induced on the horizon by U(1) vector fields and scalar fields, including the case of an Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism, and a more careful consideration of the transverse vector field components. We demonstrate that, unlike classical black holes, the quantized black hole has on its horizon an imprint of its (recent) past history, i.e., quantum hair. The relation between in- and outgoing states depends on this imprint. As a first step towards the inclusion of non-Abelian interactions, we then compute the effects of magnetic monopoles both in the in-states and in the out-states. They completely modify, and indeed simplify, our algebra.

This paper studies nonlinear deformations of the linear gauge theory of any number of spin-2 and spin-3/2 fields with general formal multiplication rules in place of standard Grassmann rules for manipulating the fields, in four spacetime dimensions. General possibilities for multiplication rules and coupling constants are simultaneously accommodated by regarding the set of fields equivalently as a single algebra-valued spin-2 field and single algebra-valued spin-3/2 field, where the underlying algebra is factorized into a field-coupling part and an internal multiplication part. The condition that there exist a gauge invariant Lagrangian (to within a divergence) for these algebra-valued fields is used to derive determining equations whose solutions give all allowed deformation terms, yielding nonlinear field equations and nonabelian gauge symmetries, together with all allowed formal multiplication rules as needed in the Lagrangian for demonstration of invariance under the gauge symmetries and for derivation of the field equations. In the case of spin-2 fields alone, the main result of this analysis is that all deformations (without any higher derivatives than appear in the linear theory) are equivalent to an algebra-valued Einstein gravity theory. By a systematic examination of factorizations of the algebra, a novel type of nonlinear gauge theory of two or more spin-2 fields is found, where the coupling for the fields is based on structure constants of an anticommutative, anti-associative algebra, and with formal multiplication rules that make the fields anticommuting (while products obey anti-associativity). Supersymmetric extensions of these results are obtained in the more general case when spin-3/2 fields are included.

It is known that some cosmological perturbations are conformal invariant. This facilitates the studies of perturbations within some gravitational theories alternative to general relativity, for example the scalar-tensor theory, because it is possible to do equivalent analysis in a certain frame in which the perturbation equations are simpler. In this paper we revisit the problem of conformal invariances of cosmological perturbations in terms of the covariant approach in which the perturbation variables have clear geometric and physical meanings. We show that with this approach the conformal invariant perturbations are easily identified.

The properties of the more generalized Lagrangian densities are studied systematically and thoroughly. The dynamical laws of a gravitational system such as the gravitational field equations, the conservation laws of the energy-momentum tensor densities, the conservation laws of the spin densities and the equations of motion for test particle are all derived from the Lagrangian densities. The differences between the more generalized Lagrangian densities and the generalized Einstein Lagrangian densities are discussed.

We extend the Einstein-Maxwell-axion theory including into the Lagrangian cross-terms of the dynamo-optical type, which are quadratic in the Maxwell tensor, linear in the covariant derivative of the macroscopic velocity four-vector, and linear in the pseudoscalar (axion) field or its gradient four-vector. We classify the new terms with respect to irreducible elements of the covariant derivative of the macroscopic velocity four-vector of the electromagnetically active medium: the expansion scalar, acceleration four-vector, shear and vorticity tensors. Master equations of the extended axion electrodynamics are used for the description of the response of an axionically active electrodynamic system, induced by a pp-wave gravitational background. We show that this response has a critical character, i.e., the electric and magnetic fields, dynamo-optically coupled to the axions, grow anomalously under the influence of the external pp-wave gravitational field.

A new analytical approach to the motion and radiation of (comparable mass) binary systems has been introduced in 1999 under the name of Effective One Body (EOB) formalism. We review the basic elements of this formalism, and discuss some of its recent developments. Several recent comparisons between EOB predictions and Numerical Relativity (NR) simulations have shown the aptitude of the EOB formalism to provide accurate descriptions of the dynamics and radiation of various binary systems (comprising black holes or neutron stars) in regimes that are inaccessible to other analytical approaches (such as the last orbits and the merger of comparable mass black holes). In synergy with NR simulations, post-Newtonian (PN) theory and Gravitational Self-Force (GSF) computations, the EOB formalism is likely to provide an efficient way of computing the very many accurate template waveforms that are needed for Gravitational Wave (GW) data analysis purposes.

Based on the generalized uncertainty principle, we study the entropy of a four-dimensional black hole by counting degrees of freedom near the horizon and obtain the (finite) entropy proportional to the surface area at the horizon without a cutoff introduced in the conventional brick-wall method.

A brief illustrative discussion of the shadows of black holes at local and cosmological distances is presented. Starting from definition of the term and discussion of recent observations, we then investigate shadows at large, cosmological distances. On a cosmological scale, the size of shadow observed by comoving observer is expected to be affected by cosmic expansion. Exact analytical solution for the shadow angular size of Schwarzschild black hole in de Sitter universe was found. Additionally, an approximate method was presented, based on using angular size redshift relation. This approach is appropriate for general case of any multicomponent universe (with matter, radiation and dark energy). It was shown, that supermassive black holes at cosmological distances in universe with matter may give the shadow size comparable with the shadow size in M87, and in the center of our Galaxy.

Static and spherically symmetric perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's field equations with cosmological constant are analysed. After showing existence and uniqueness of a regular solution at the centre the extension of this solution is discussed. Then the existence of global solutions with given equation of state and cosmological constant bounded by 4 pi rho_b, where rho_b is the boundary density (given by the equation of state) of the perfect fluid ball, is proved.

The gravitational radiation backreaction effects are considered in the Lense-Thirring approximation. New methods for parameterizing the orbit and for averaging the instantaneous radiative losses are developed. To first order in the spin S of the black hole, both in the absence and in the presence of gravitational radiation, a complete description of the test-particle orbit is given. This is achieved by two improvements over the existing descriptions. First, by introducing new angle variables with a straightforward geometrical meaning. Second, by finding a new parametrization of a generic orbit, which assures that the integration over a radial period can be done in an especially simple way, by applying the residue theorem. The instantaneous radiation losses of the system are computed using the formulation of Blanchet, Damour and Iyer(1989). All losses are given both in terms of the dynamical constants of motion and the properly defined orbital elements $a,e,\iota$ and $\Psi_0$. The radiative losses of the constants characterizing the Lense-Thirring motion, when suitably converted, are in agreement with earlier results of Kidder, Will and Wiseman(1993), Ryan(1996) and Shibata(1994). In addition, the radiative losses of two slowly changing orbital elements $\Psi_0,\Phi_0$ are given in order to complete the characterization of the orbit.

We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the computing power provided by the volunteers of the Einstein@Home distributed computing project. We find no significant signal candidate and set the most stringent upper limits to date on the amplitude of gravitational wave signals from the target population. At the frequency of best strain sensitivity, between $170.5$ and $171$ Hz we set a 90% confidence upper limit of ${5.5}^{-25}$, while at the high end of our frequency range, around 505 Hz, we achieve upper limits $\simeq {10}^{-24}$. At $230$ Hz we can exclude sources with ellipticities greater than $10^{-6}$ within 100 pc of Earth with fiducial value of the principal moment of inertia of $10^{38} \textrm{kg m}^2$. If we assume a higher (lower) gravitational wave spindown we constrain farther (closer) objects to higher (lower) ellipticities.

Exact particle-like static, spherically and/or cylindrically symmetric solutions to the equations of interacting scalar and electromagnetic field system have been obtained within the scope of general relativity. In particular, we considered Freedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time as an external homogenous and isotropic gravitational field whereas the inhomogenous and isotropic Universe is given by the G$\ddot o$del model. The solutions obtained have been thoroughly studied for different types of interaction term. It has been shown that in FRW space-time equations with different interaction terms may have stable solutions while within the scope of G$\ddot o$del model only the droplet-like configurations may be stable, if they are located in the region where $g^{00}>0$.

The theory of inflation is one of the fundamental and revolutionary developments of modern cosmology that became able to explain many issues of early universe in the context of the standard cosmological model (SCM). However, the initial singularity of the universe, where physics is indefinite, is still obscure in the combined `SCM+inflation' scenario. An alternative to `SCM+inflation' without the initial singularity is thus always welcome, and bouncing cosmology is an attempt of that. The current work is thus motivated to investigate the bouncing solutions in modified gravity theories when the background universe is described by the spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) geometry. We show that the simplest way to obtain the bouncing cosmologies in such spacetime is to consider some kind of Lagrangians whose gravitational sector depends only on the square of the Hubble parameter of the FLRW universe. For these modified Lagrangians, the corresponding Friedmann equation, a constraint in the dynamics of the universe, depicts a curve in the phase space $(H,rho)$, where $H$ is the Hubble parameter and $rho$ being the energy density of the universe. As a consequence, a bouncing cosmology is obtained when this curve is closed and crosses the axis $H = 0$ at least twice, and whose simplest particular example is the ellipse depicting the well-known holonomy corrected Friedmann equation in Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). Sometimes, a crucial point in such theories is the appearance of the Ostrogradski instability at the perturbative level, however, fortunately enough, in the present work as long as the linear level of perturbations is concerned, this instability does not appear but such instability may appear at the higher-order of perturbations.

A method is presented to construct initial data for Einstein's equations as a superposition of a gravitational wave perturbation on an arbitrary stationary background spacetime. The method combines the conformal thin sandwich formalism with linear gravitational waves, and allows detailed control over characteristics of the superposed gravitational wave like shape, location and propagation direction. It is furthermore fully covariant with respect to spatial coordinate changes and allows for very large amplitude of the gravitational wave.

The maximally complicated arbitrary-dimensional "maximal" Galileon field equations simplify dramatically for symmetric configurations. Thus, spherical symmetry reduces the equations from the D- to the two-dimensional Monge-Ampere equation, axial symmetry to its cubic extension etc. We can then obtain explicit solutions, such as spherical or axial waves, and relate them to the (known) general, but highly implicit, lower-D solutions.

We present an argument that, for a large class of possible dynamics, a canonical quantization of gravity will satisfy the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area relation. This result holds for temperatures low compared to the Planck temperature and for boundaries with areas large compared to Planck area. We also relate our description, in terms of a grand canonical ensemble, to previous geometric entropy calculations using area ensembles.

In this paper, we perform the phase space analysis to investigate the evolution of the early universe in Einstein-Cartan theory. By studying the stability of critical points in dynamical system, it is found that there exist two stable critical points which represent an expanding solution and an Einstein static solution respectively. After analyzing the phase diagram of the dynamical system, we find that there may exist a bouncing universe, an oscillating universe or an Einstein static universe in the early time of universe. In addition, by assuming that the early universe filled by the radiation with $\omega= 1/3$ , the initial states of the early universe are Einstein static universe or oscillating universe. When the equation of state $\omega$ decreases with time, the universe can exit from the initial state and evolve into an expanding phase.

It is shown here that there is no way for particle creation to occur by quantum tunneling through an infinitesimal neighborhood of the black hole horizon. This result is a trivial consequence of the regularity of the horizon, the equivalence principle and the general covariance of the relativistic theory of gravity. Moreover, we also confirm the less trivial statement that no particle creation by quantum tunneling through the black hole horizon is possible independent of the size of the presupposed tunneling domain.

Within the framework of Brans-Dicke gravity, we investigate inflation with the quartic potential, $\lambda\varphi^4/4$, in the presence of generalized Brans-Dicke parameter $\omega_{\rm GBD}(\varphi)$. We obtain the inflationary observables containing the scalar spectral index, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, the running of the scalar spectral index and the equilateral non-Gaussianity parameter in terms of general form of the potential $U(\varphi)$ and $\omega_{\rm GBD}(\varphi)$. For the quartic potential, our results show that the predictions of the model are in well agreement with the Planck 2015 data for the generalized Brans-Dicke parameters $\omega_{\rm GBD}(\varphi)=\omega_0\varphi^{n}$ and $\omega_0e^{b\varphi}$. This is in contrast with both the Einstein and standard Brans-Dicke gravity, in which the result of quartic potential is disfavored by the Planck data.

We construct a new class of charged rotating black string solutions coupled to a nonlinear electromagnetic field in the background of anti-de Sitter spaces. We consider two types of nonlinear electromagnetic field namely, logarithmic and exponential forms. We investigate the geometric effects of nonlinearity parameter and find that for large $r$, these solutions recover the rotating back string solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory. We calculate the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the rotating black string. We also analyze thermodynamics of the spacetime and verify the validity of the first law of thermodynamics for the obtained solutions.

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime is a theory wherein matter is treated fully in accord with the principles of quantum field theory, but gravity is treated classically in accord with general relativity. It is not expected to be an exact theory of nature, but it should provide a good approximate description when the quantum effects of gravity itself do not play a dominant role. A major impetus to the theory was provided by Hawking's calculation of particle creation by black holes, showing that black holes radiate as perfect black bodies. During the past 30 years, considerable progress has been made in giving a mathematically rigorous formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Major issues of principle with regard to the formulation of the theory arise from the lack of Poincare symmetry and the absence of a preferred vacuum state or preferred notion of ``particles''. By the mid-1980's, it was understood how all of these difficulties could be overcome for free (i.e., non-self-interacting) quantum fields by formulating the theory via the algebraic approach and focusing attention on the local field observables rather than a notion of ``particles''. However, these ideas, by themselves, were not adequate for the formulation of interacting quantum field theory, even at a perturbative level, since standard renormalization prescriptions in Minkowski spacetime rely heavily on Poincare invariance and the existence of a Poincare invariant vacuum state. However, during the past decade, great progress has been made, mainly due to the importation into the theory of the methods of ``microlocal analysis''. This article will describe the historical development of the subject and describe some of the recent progress.

Skyrme theory is among the viable effective theories which emerge from low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics. Many of its generalizations include also a dilaton. Here we find new self-gravitating solutions, both solitons and black holes, in a Generalized Skyrme Model (GSM) in which a dilaton is present. The investigation of the properties of the solutions is done numerically. We find that the introduction of the dilaton in the theory does not change the picture qualitatively, only quantitatively. The model considered here has one free parameter more than the Einstein-Skyrme model which comes from the potential of the dilaton. We have applied also the turning point method to establish that one of the black-hole branches of solutions is unstable. The turning point method here is based on the first law of black-hole thermodynamics a detailed derivation of which is given in the Appendix of the paper.

We examine a class of braneworld models in which the expanding universe encounters a "quiescent" future singularity. At a quiescent singularity, the energy density and pressure of the cosmic fluid as well as the Hubble parameter remain finite while all derivatives of the Hubble parameter diverge (i.e., ${\dot H}$, ${\ddot H}$, etc. $\to \infty$). Since the Kretschmann invariant diverges ($R_{iklm}R^{iklm} \to \infty$) at the singularity, one expects quantum effects to play an important role as the quiescent singularity is approached. We explore the effects of vacuum polarization due to massless conformally coupled fields near the singularity and show that these can either cause the universe to recollapse or, else, lead to a softer singularity at which $H$, ${\dot H}$, and ${\ddot H}$ remain finite while ${\dddot H}$ and higher derivatives of the Hubble parameter diverge. An important aspect of the quiescent singularity is that it is encountered in regions of low density, which has obvious implications for a universe consisting of a cosmic web of high and low density regions -- superclusters and voids. In addition to vacuum polarization, the effects of quantum particle production of non-conformal fields are also likely to be important. A preliminary examination shows that intense particle production can lead to an accelerating universe whose Hubble parameter shows oscillations about a constant value.

The notions of (metric) hypersurface data were introduced in [Mars,2013] as a tool to analyze, from an abstract viewpoint, hypersurfaces of arbitrary signature in pseudo-riemannian manifolds. In this paper, general geometric properties of these notions are studied. In particular, the properties of the gauge group inherent to the geometric construction are analyzed and the metric hypersurface connection and its corresponding curvature tensor are studied. The results set up the stage for various potential applications. The particular but relevant case of spherical symmetry is considered in detail. In particular, a collection of gauge invariant quantities and a radial covariant derivative is introduced, such that the constraint equations of the Einstein field equations with matter can be written in a very compact form. The general solution of these equations in the vacuum case and Lorentzian ambient signature is obtained, and a generalization of the Birkhoff theorem to this abstract hypersurface setting is derived.

Einstein's general relativity with both metric and vielbein treated as independent fields is considered, demonstrating the existence of a consistent variational principle and deriving a Hamiltonian formalism that treats the spatial metric and spatial vielbein as canonical coordinates. This results in a Hamiltonian in standard form that consists of Hamiltonian and momentum constraints as well as constraints that generate spatial frame transformations---all appearing as primary, first class constraints on phase space. The formalism encompasses the standard coordinate frame and vielbein approaches to general relativity, and the constraint algebra derived herein reproduces known results in either limit.

The cosmological evolution within the framework of exponential $F(R)$ gravity is analysed by assuming two forms for dark matter: (a) a standard dust-like fluid and (b) an axion scalar field. As shown in previous literature, an axion-like field oscillates during the cosmological evolution but can play the role of dark matter when approaching the minimum of its potential. Both scenarios are confronted with recent observational data including the Pantheon Type Ia supernovae, Hubble parameter estimations (Cosmic Chronometers), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmic Microwave Background distances. The models show great possibilities in describing these observations when compared with the $\Lambda$CDM model, supporting the viability of exponential $F(R)$ gravity. The differences between both descriptions of dark matter is analysed.

In this paper, the metric approach of $f(R)$ theory of gravity is used to investigate the exact vacuum solutions of spatially homogeneous rotating spacetimes. For this purpose, R is replaced by f(R) in the standard Einstein-Hilbert action and the set of modified Einstein field equations reduce to a single equation. We adopt the assumption of constant Ricci scalar which maybe zero or non-zero. Moreover, the energy density of the non-trivial solution has been evaluated by using the generalized Landau-Lifshitz energy-momentum complex in the perspective of f(R) gravity for some appropriate f(R) model, which turns out to be a constant quantity.

Optical appearance of a compact binary star in the field of a supermassive black hole is modeled in a strong field regime. Expressions for the redshift, magnification coefficient and pulsar extinction time are derived. By using the vierbein formalism we have derived equations of motion of compact binary star in the external gravitational field. We have analysed both the evolution of redshift of the optical ray from the usual star or white dwarf, and the times of arrival of pulses of pulsar. The results are illustrated by a calculation for a model binary system for the case of external gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole. The obtained results can be used for fitting timing data from the X-ray pulsars that moves in the neighbourhood of the Galactic Center (Sgr A*).

We present a quantum treatment of the Jeans gravitational instability in the Newtonian limit of the non-minimal matter-curvature coupling gravity model. By relying on Wigner functions, allowing for the representation of quantum states in a classical phase space, we formulate a quantum kinetic treatment of this problem, generalizing the classical kinetic approach [C. Gomes, Eur. Phys. J. C 80, 633 (2020)]. This allows us to study the interplay between non-minimal matter-curvature coupling effects, quantum effects, and kinetic (finite-temperature) effects, on the Jeans criterion. We study in detail special cases of the model (general relativity, f(R) theories, pure non-minimal coupling, etc.) and confront the model with the observed stability of Bok globules.

Pre-gauging the cosmological scale factor $a(t)$ does not introduce unphysical degrees of freedom into the exact FLRW classical solution. It seems to lead, however, to a non-dynamical mini superspace. The missing ingredient, a generalised momentum enjoying canonical Dirac (rather than Poisson) brackets with the lapse function $n(t)$, calls for measure scaling which can be realised by means of a scalar field. The latter is essential for establishing a geometrical connection with the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein Schwarzschild-deSitter black hole. Contrary to the Hartle-Hawking approach, (i) The $t$-independent wave function $\psi(a)$ is traded for an explicit $t$-dependent $\psi(n, t)$, (ii) The classical FLRW configuration does play a major role in the structure of the 'most classical' cosmological wave packet, and (iii) The non-singular Euclid/Lorentz crossovers get quantum mechanically smeared.

Pre-gauging the cosmological scale factor $a(t)$ does not introduce unphysical degrees of freedom into the exact FLRW classical solution. It seems to lead, however, to a non-dynamical mini superspace. The missing ingredient, a generalised momentum enjoying canonical Dirac (rather than Poisson) brackets with the lapse function $n(t)$, calls for measure scaling which can be realised by means of a scalar field. The latter is essential for establishing a geometrical connection with the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein Schwarzschild-deSitter black hole. Contrary to the Hartle-Hawking approach, (i) The $t$-independent wave function $\psi(a)$ is traded for an explicit $t$-dependent $\psi(n, t)$, (ii) The classical FLRW configuration does play a major role in the structure of the 'most classical' cosmological wave packet, and (iii) The non-singular Euclid/Lorentz crossovers get quantum mechanically smeared.

In previous papers, explicit symplectic integrators were designed for nonrotating black holes, such as a Schwarzschild black hole. However, they fail to work in the Kerr spacetime because not all variables can be separable, or not all splitting parts have analytical solutions as explicit functions of proper time. To cope with this difficulty, we introduce a time transformation function to the Hamiltonian of Kerr geometry so as to obtain a time-transformed Hamiltonian consisting of five splitting parts, whose analytical solutions are explicit functions of the new coordinate time. The chosen time transformation function can cause time steps to be adaptive, but it is mainly used to implement the desired splitting of the time transformed Hamiltonian. In this manner, new explicit symplectic algorithms are easily available. Unlike Runge Kutta integrators, the newly proposed algorithms exhibit good long term behavior in the conservation of Hamiltonian quantities when appropriate fixed coordinate time steps are considered. They are better than same order implicit and explicit mixed symplectic algorithms and extended phase space explicit symplectic like methods in computational efficiency. The proposed idea on the construction of explicit symplectic integrators is suitable for not only the Kerr metric but also many other relativistic problems, such as a Kerr black hole immersed in a magnetic field, a Kerr Newman black hole with an external magnetic field, axially symmetric core shell systems, and five dimensional black ring metrics.

We introduce and develop the 1+3 covariant approach to relativity and cosmology to spacetimes of arbitrary dimensions that have nonzero torsion and do not satisfy the metricity condition. Focusing on timelike observers, we identify and discuss the main differences between their kinematics and those of their counterparts living in standard Riemannian spacetimes. At the centre of our analysis lies the Raychaudhuri equation, which is the fundamental formula monitoring the convergence/divergence, namely the collapse/expansion, of timelike worldline congruences. To the best of our knowledge, we provide the most general expression so far of the Raychaudhuri equation, with applications to an extensive range of non-standard astrophysical and cosmological studies. Assuming that metricity holds, but allowing for nonzero torsion, we recover the results of analogous previous treatments. Focusing on non-metricity alone, we identify a host of effects that depend on the nature of the timelike congruence and on the type of the adopted non-metricity. We also demonstrate that in spaces of high symmetry one can recover the pure-torsion results from their pure non-metricity analogues, and vice-versa, via a simple ansatz between torsion and non-metricity.

This manuscript is devoted to introduce a gauge theory of the Lorentz Group based on the ambiguity emerging in dealing with isometric diffeo-morphism-induced Lorentz transformations. The behaviors under local transformations of fermion fields and spin connections (assumed to be ordinary world vectors) are analyzed in flat space-time and the role of the torsion field, within the generalization to curved space-time, is briefly discussed. The fermion dynamics is then analyzed including the new gauge fields and assuming time-gauge. Stationary solutions of the problem are also analyzed in the non-relativistic limit, to study the spinor structure of an hydrogen-like atom.
