We introduce a formulation for spinning gravitating objects in the effective field theory in the post-Newtonian scheme in the context of the binary inspiral problem. We aim at an effective action, where all field modes below the orbital scale are integrated out. We spell out the relevant degrees of freedom, in particular the rotational ones, and the associated symmetries. Building on these symmetries, we introduce the minimal coupling part of the point particle action in terms of gauge rotational variables, and construct the spin-induced nonminimal couplings, where we obtain the leading order couplings to all orders in spin. We specify the gauge for the rotational variables, where the unphysical degrees of freedom are eliminated already from the Feynman rules, and all the orbital field modes are integrated out. The equations of motion of the spin can be directly obtained via a proper variation of the action, and Hamiltonians may be straightforwardly derived. We implement this effective field theory for spin to derive all spin dependent potentials up to next-to-leading order to quadratic level in spin, namely up to the third post-Newtonian order for rapidly rotating compact objects. In particular, the proper next-to-leading order spin-squared potential and Hamiltonian for generic compact objects are also derived. For the implementations we use the nonrelativistic gravitational field decomposition, which is found here to eliminate higher-loop Feynman diagrams also in spin dependent sectors, and facilitates derivations. This formulation for spin is thus ideal for treatment of higher order spin dependent sectors.

In this paper, we have investigated the phenomenon of accelerated cosmic expansion in the late universe and the mass accretion process of a 4-dimensional Einstein-Aether black hole. Starting with the basics of Einstein-Aether gravity theory, we have first considered the field equations and two eminent models of Chaplygin gas, viz. generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas model and viscous modified Chaplygin gas model. Then, we obtained the energy density and Hubble parameters equations for these models in terms of some dimensionless density parameters and some unknown parameters. After finding the required parameters, we proceeded with the mass accretion process. For both models, we obtained the equation of mass in terms of the redshift function and represented the change of mass of the black hole graphically with redshift. At the same time, we have made a graphical comparison between the above-mentioned models and the $\Lambda$CDM model of the universe. Eventually, we have concluded that the mass of a 4-dimensional black hole will increase along the universe's evolution in the backdrop of Einstein-Aether gravity.

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are known as one of the potential candidates for dark matter. They are expected to have formed due to the direct gravitational collapse of density fluctuations in the early Universe. Therefore, the study of the merger rate of PBHs in modified theories of gravity can provide more detailed information about their abundance. In this work, we delve into the calculation of the merger rate of PBHs within the theoretical framework of $f(R)$ gravity. Our analysis reveals an enhancement in the merger rate of PBHs compared to that obtained from general relativity (GR). Additionally, modulating the field strength $f_{R0}$ induces shifts in the PBH merger rate, presenting a potential observational signature of modified gravity. We also find that the total merger rate of PBHs will be consistent with the merger rate of black holes estimated by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)-Virgo-KAGRA detectors if $f_{PBH}\gtrsim 0.1$. While further improvements might be required, relative enhancement of the merger rate of PBHs in the framework of $f(R)$ gravity and its consistency with gravitational wave data underscore the importance of employing modified theories of gravity to examine diverse scenarios related to the formation of black holes.

This paper explores the possible existence of stable regions of bounded excursion gravastars in the background of regular black holes (Bardeen and Bardeen-de Sitter black holes). For this purpose, we match internal de Sitter geometry with an external regular black hole through an intermediate shell with an equation of state. The matter surface located at the shell greatly affects the dynamical configuration of the shell. We consider stiff and dust fluids to discuss the outcomes of the developed structures. We then determine the critical values of physical parameters at which the shell neither collapses nor expands for both cases with different choices of external and internal geometries. It is found that there does not exist any possible region of stable bounded excursion gravastar for the interior flat and exterior regular geometries. However, the stable bounded excursion gravastar is obtained for the interior de Sitter and exterior regular black holes with a suitable choice of physical parameters for both stiff and dust shells. We conclude that the possibility of the existence of both bounded excursion gravastars as well as black holes cannot be excluded in the dynamical model.

Several approaches to Hawking radiation on Schwarzschild spacetime rely in some way or another on the fact that the Kruskal manifold has two causally disconnected exterior regions. We investigate the Hawking(-Unruh) effect for a real scalar field on the $\RPthree$ geon: an inextendible, globally hyperbolic, space and time orientable eternal black hole spacetime that is locally isometric to Kruskal but contains only one exterior region. The Hartle-Hawking-like vacuum~$\hhvacgeon$, which can be characterized alternatively by the positive frequency properties along the horizons or by the complex analytic properties of the Feynman propagator, turns out to contain exterior region Boulware modes in correlated pairs, and any operator in the exterior that only couples to one member of each correlated Boulware pair has thermal expectation values in the usual Hawking temperature. Generic operators in the exterior do not have this special form; however, we use a Bogoliubov transformation, a particle detector analysis, and a particle emission-absorption analysis that invokes the analytic properties of the Feynman propagator, to argue that $\hhvacgeon$ appears as a thermal bath with the standard Hawking temperature to any exterior observer at asymptotically early and late Schwarzschild times. A~(naive) saddle-point estimate for the path-integral-approach partition function yields for the geon only half of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole with the same ADM mass: possible implications of this result for the validity of path-integral methods or for the statistical interpretation of black-hole entropy are discussed. Analogous results hold for a Rindler observer in a flat spacetime whose global properties mimic those of the geon.

Linearly polarized cylindrical waves in four-dimensional vacuum gravity are mathematically equivalent to rotationally symmetric gravity coupled to a Maxwell (or Klein-Gordon) field in three dimensions. The quantization of this latter system was performed by Ashtekar and Pierri in a recent work. Employing that quantization, we obtain here a complete quantum theory which describes the four-dimensional geometry of the Einstein-Rosen waves. In particular, we construct regularized operators to represent the metric. It is shown that the results achieved by Ashtekar about the existence of important quantum gravity effects in the Einstein-Maxwell system at large distances from the symmetry axis continue to be valid from a four-dimensional point of view. The only significant difference is that, in order to admit an approximate classical description in the asymptotic region, states that are coherent in the Maxwell field need not contain a large number of photons anymore. We also analyze the metric fluctuations on the symmetry axis and argue that they are generally relevant for all of the coherent states.

In this paper we deal with quadratic metric-affine gravity, which we briefly introduce, explain and give historical and physical reasons for using this particular theory of gravity. Further, we introduce a generalisation of well known spacetimes, namely pp-waves. A classical pp-wave is a 4-dimensional Lorentzian spacetime, which admits a nonvanishing parallel spinor field; here the connection is assumed to be Levi-Civita. This definition was generalised in our previous work to metric compatible spacetimes with torsion and used to construct new explicit vacuum solutions of quadratic metric-affine gravity, namely generalised pp-waves of parallel Ricci curvature. The physical interpretation of these solutions we propose in this article is that they represent a conformally invariant metric-affine model for a massless elementary particle. We give a comparison with the classical model describing the interaction of gravitational and massless neutrino fields, namely Einstein-Weyl theory and construct pp-wave type solutions of this theory. We point out that generalised pp-waves of parallel Ricci curvature are very similar to pp-wave type solutions of the Einstein-Weyl model and therefore propose that our generalised pp-waves of parallel Ricci curvature represent a metric-affine model for the massless neutrino.

Echoes are known as modifications of the usual quasinormal ringing of a black hole at late times because of the deviation of space-time from the initial black-hole geometry in a small region near its event horizon. We consider a class of brane-world model solutions of the Shiromizu-Maeda-Sasaki equations, which describe both black holes and wormholes and interpolate between them via a continuous parameter. In this way the brane-world scenario provides a natural model for wormholes mimicking the black hole behavior if the continuous parameter is chosen near the threshold with a black-hole solution. We show that in the vicinity of this threshold interpolating between black holes and wormholes, quasinormal ringing of the wormholes at the initial stage is indistinguishable from that of the black holes with nearby values of the above parameter, but at later times the signal is modified by intensive echoes. We notice that the black-hole mimickers that are wormholes near the threshold have the largest quality factor and are therefore the best oscillators among the considered examples.

In this work, starting by simple, approximate (quasi-classical) methods presented in our previous works, we suggest a simple determination of the (logarithmic) corrections of (Schwarzschild) black hole entropy "without knowing the details of quantum gravity"(Fursaev). Namely, in our previous works we demonstrated that all well-known important thermodynamical characteristics of the black hole (Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, Bekenstein entropy/surface quantization and Hawking temperature) can be effectively reproduced starting by simple supposition that black hole horizon circumference holds integer number of reduced Compton wave lengths corresponding to mass (energy) spectrum of a small quantum system. (Obviously it is conceptually analogous to Bohr quantization postulate interpreted by de Broglie relation in Old, Bohr-Sommerfeld, quantum theory.) Especially, black hole entropy can be presented as the quotient of the black hole mass and the minimal mass of small quantum system in ground mass (energy) state. Now, we suppose that black hole mass correction is simply equivalent to negative classical potential energy of the gravitational interaction between black hole and small quantum system in ground mass (energy) state. As it is not hard to see absolute value of the classical potential energy of gravitational interaction is identical to black hole temperature. All this, according to first thermodynamical law, implies that first order entropy correction holds form of the logarithm of the surface with coefficient -0.5. Our result, obtained practically quasi-classically, "without knowing the details of quantum gravity", is equivalent to result obtained by loop quantum gravity and other quantum gravity methods for macroscopic black holes.

Coordinate transformations are derived from global Minkowski coordinates to the Fermi coordinates of an observer moving in a circle in Minkowski space-time. The metric for the Fermi coordinates is calculated directly from the tensor transformation rule. The behavior of ideal clocks is examined from the observer's reference frame using the Fermi coordinates. A complicated relation exists between Fermi coordinate time and proper time on stationary clocks (in the Fermi frame) and between proper time on satellite clocks that orbit the observer. An orbital Sagnac-like effect exists for portable clocks that orbit the Fermi coordinate origin. The coordinate speed of light is isotropic but varies with Fermi coordinate position and time. The magnitudes of these kinematic effects are computed for parameters that are relevant to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and are found to be small; however, for future high-accuracy time transfer systems, these effects may be of significant magnitude.

Coordinate transformations are derived from global Minkowski coordinates to the Fermi coordinates of an observer moving in a circle in Minkowski space-time. The metric for the Fermi coordinates is calculated directly from the tensor transformation rule. The behavior of ideal clocks is examined from the observer's reference frame using the Fermi coordinates. A complicated relation exists between Fermi coordinate time and proper time on stationary clocks (in the Fermi frame) and between proper time on satellite clocks that orbit the observer. An orbital Sagnac-like effect exists for portable clocks that orbit the Fermi coordinate origin. The coordinate speed of light is isotropic but varies with Fermi coordinate position and time. The magnitudes of these kinematic effects are computed for parameters that are relevant to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and are found to be small; however, for future high-accuracy time transfer systems, these effects may be of significant magnitude.

The domain of wave functions and effective potentials of the Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations for quantum-mechanical particles in static centrally symmetric gravitational fields are analyzed by taking into account the Hilbert causality condition. For all the explored metrics, assuming existence of event horizons, the conditions of a "fall" of a particle to the appropriate event horizons are implemented. The exclusion is one of the solutions for the Reissner-Nordstroem extreme field with the single event horizon. In this case, while fulfilling the condition found by V.I.Dokuchaev, Yu.N.Yeroshenko, the normalization integral is convergent and the wave functions become zero on the event horizon. This corresponds to the Hilbert causality condition. In our paper, due to the analysis of the effective potential for the Reissner-Nordstroem extreme field with real radial wave functions of the Dirac equation, the impossibility is demonstrated for the bound stationary state existence of quantum-mechanical particles, with positive energy, off the event horizon. The analysis of the effective potential of the Dirac equation for the case of the naked singularity of the Reissner-Nordstroem field shown the possible existence of stationary bound states of quantum-mechanical half-spin particles.

In this paper we treat the black hole horizon as a physical boundary to the spacetime and study its dynamics following from the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term. Using the Kerr black hole as an example we derive an effective action that describes, in the large wave number limit, a massless Klein-Gordon field living on the average location of the boundary. Complete solutions can be found in the small rotation limit of the black hole. The formulation suggests that the boundary can be treated in the same way as any other matter contributions. In particular, the angular momentum of the boundary matches exactly with that of the black hole, suggesting an interesting possibility that all charges (including the entropy) of the black hole are carried by the boundary. Using this as input, we derive predictions on the Planck scale properties of the boundary.

The non-linear gravitational wave (GW) memory effect is a distinct prediction in general relativity. While the effect has been well studied for comparable mass binaries, it has mostly been overlooked for intermediate mass ratio inspirals (IMRIs). We offer a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenology and detectability of memory effects, including contributions from subdominant harmonic modes, in heavy IMRIs consisting of a stellar mass black hole and an intermediate mass black hole. When formed through hierarchical mergers, for example when a GW190521-like remnant captures a stellar mass black hole, IMRI systems have a large total mass, large spin on the primary, and possibly residual eccentricity; features that potentially raise the prospect for memory detection. We compute both the displacement and spin non-linear GW memory from the $m \neq 0$ gravitational waveforms computed within a black hole perturbation theory framework that is partially calibrated to numerical relativity waveforms. We probe the dependence of memory effects on mass ratio, spin, and eccentricity and consider the detectability of a memory signal from IMRIs using current and future GW detectors. We find that (i) while eccentricity introduces additional features in both displacement and spin memory, it does not appreciatively change the prospects of detectability, (ii) including higher modes into the memory computation can increase singal-to-noise (SNR) values by about 7\% in some cases, (iii) the SNR from displacement memory dramatically increases as the spin approaches large, positive values, (iv) spin memory from heavy IMRIs would, however, be difficult to detect with future generation detectors even from highly spinning systems. Our results suggest that hierarchical binary black hole mergers may be a promising source for detecting memory and could favorably impact memory forecasts.

A detailed qualitative analysis and numerical modeling of the evolution of cosmological models based on nonlinear classical and phantom scalar fields with self-action are performed. Complete phase portraits of the corresponding dynamical systems and their projections onto the Poincar\'e sphere are constructed. It is shown that the phase trajectories of the corresponding dynamical systems can, depending on the parameters of the model of the scalar field, split into bifurcation trajectories along 2, 4, or 6 different dynamical flows. In the phase space of such systems, regions can appear which are inaccessible for motion. Here phase trajectories of the phantom scalar field wind around one of the symmetric foci (centers) while the phase trajectories of the classical scalar field can have a limit cycle determined by the zero effective energy corresponding to a Euclidean Universe.

In flat spacetime, as a simple 4-vector, a particle's 4-velocity cannot be changed by translation. Parallel translation then produces constant velocity, motion without force. Here we consider a richer, but less well-known, representation of the Poincare group of symmetries of flat spacetime in which translation adds a non-linear connection term to the 4-vector. Then 4-vectors can be meaningfully parallel translated, curved geodesics can be developed, and the curvature for the connection can be found. By adding an assumption, that the arc length is calculated with a position dependent metric, it is shown that a geodesic has a 4-acceleration which is the sum of a Christoffel connection term and a term that is the scalar product of 4-velocity and an antisymmetric tensor. This is just like the force law obeyed by a charged, massive particle in general relativity. Thus the dynamical laws of electrodynamics and general relativity can be deduced as geodesic equations from the way particle proper time depends on position and the way 4-vectors can change upon translation in flat spacetime.

We study the Hawking thermal spectrum in dragging coordinate system and the tunneling radiation characteristics of hot NUT-Kerr-Newman-Kasuya spacetime. The tunneling rates at the event and cosmological horizon are found to be related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. The radiation spectrum is not pure thermal and thus there is a correction to the Hawking thermal spectrum.

We investigate how the production of gravitational waves (GWs) is affected by the GW velocity $(c_T)$ during preheating after inflation. For instance, we simulate the production of GWs after $\lambda\phi^4$ chaotic inflation, and find that GW spectrum is enhanced for $c_T<1$, but distorted (suppressed at low frequency, but enhanced at high frequency) for $c_T>1$.

We study the evolution equations for gravitational waves, which are derived using the full metric to raise and lower indices. This method ensures full consistency between the Ricci tensor and all gauge restrictions and requirements, and allows a meaningful expansion of all tensors up to second order, avoiding several inconsistencies and contradictions observed in previous work. Taking the harmonic gauge to second order in the perturbation theory results in a new nonlinear equation. We show that non-trivial solutions to this equation are necessarily non-plane wave modes with a non-zero trace. These solutions must contain both longitudinal and transverse components, as both are permitted by the gauge restrictions.

For over a century the definitions of mass and derivations of its relation with energy continue to be elaborated, demonstrating that the concept of mass is still not satisfactorily understood. The aim of this study is to show that, starting from the properties of Minkowski spacetime and from the principle of least action, energy expresses the property of inertia of a body. This implies that inertial mass can only be the object of a definition - the so called mass-energy relation - aimed at measuring energy in different units, more suitable to describe the huge amount of it enclosed in what we call the "rest-energy" of a body. Likewise, the concept of gravitational mass becomes unnecessary, being replaceable by energy, thus making the weak equivalence principle intrinsically verified. In dealing with mass, a new unit of measurement is foretold for it, which relies on the de Broglie frequency of atoms, the value of which can today be measured with an accuracy of a few parts in 10^9.

We have previously presented a version of the Weak Equivalence Principle for a quantum particle as an exact analog of the classical case, based on the Heisenberg picture analysis of free particle motion. Here, we take that to a full formalism of quantum mechanics in a generic curved space(time). Our basic perspective is to take seriously the noncommutative symplectic geometry corresponding to the quantum observable algebra. Particle position coordinate transformations and a nontrivial metric assigning an invariant inner product to vectors, and covectors, are implemented accordingly. That allows an analog to the classical picture of the phase space as the cotangent bundle. The mass-independent quantum geodesic equations as equations of free particle motion under a generic metric as a quantum observable are obtained from an invariant Hamiltonian. Hermiticity of momentum observables is to be taken as reference frame dependent. Our results have a big contrast to the alternative obtained based on the Schr\"odinger wavefunction representation. Hence, the work points to a very different approach to quantum gravity.

This research paper presents a black hole solution with a rational non-linear electrodynamics source in the Rastall gravity framework. The paper analyzes the thermodynamic properties of the solution in normal phase space and explores its critical behavior. The phase structure is examined using the extended first law of thermodynamics, with the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ serving as pressure $P$. The isotherms exhibit van der Waals behavior at small values of horizon $r_+$. The paper also investigates the Gibbs free energy behavior and finds two critical points with two pressures where the reentrant phase transition occurs and disappears. On the other hand, we explore the prevalent microstructure of black holes in Ruppeiner geometry, uncovering significant deviations in the nature of particle interactions from conventional practice. Moreover, the thermodynamic geometry is analyzed using the Ruppeiner formalism, with the normalized Ricci scalar indicating possible point-phase transitions of the heat capacity, and the normalized extrinsic curvature having the same sign as the normalized Ricci scalar. The three-phase transitions of the heat capacity are those that we find for the normalized Ruppeiner curvatures. Thus, there is an absolute correspondence.

Spherical configurations that are very massive must be surrounded by apparent horizons. These in turn, when placed outside a collapsing body, must propagate outward with a velocity equal to the velocity of radially outgoing photons. That proves, within the framework of (1+3) formalism and without resorting to the Birkhoff theorem, that apparent horizons coincide with event horizons.

Gravity theories beyond General Relativity typically predict dipolar gravitational emission by compact-star binaries. This emission is sourced by "sensitivity" parameters depending on the stellar compactness. We introduce a general formalism to calculate these parameters, and show that in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories stellar sensitivities and dipolar radiation vanish, provided that the binary's dynamics is perturbative (i.e. the post-Newtonian formalism is applicable) and cosmological-expansion effects can be neglected. This allows reproducing the binary-pulsar observed orbital decay.

We explore the connections between various coordinate systems associated with observers moving inwardly along radial geodesics in the Schwarzschild geometry. Painlev\'e-Gullstrand (PG) time is adapted to freely falling observers dropped from rest from infinity; Lake-Martel-Poisson (LMP) time coordinates are adapted to observers who start at infinity with non-zero initial inward velocity; Gautreau-Hoffmann (GH) time coordinates are adapted to observers dropped from rest from a finite distance from the black hole horizon. We construct from these an LMP family and a proper-time family of time coordinates, the intersection of which is PG time. We demonstrate that these coordinate families are distinct, but related, one-parameter generalizations of PG time, and show linkage to Lema\^itre coordinates as well.

In this work we have investigated the effects of the two highlighted nongaussian entropies which are the modified R\'enyi entropy and the so-called Incomplete statistics in the analysis of the thermodynamics of black holes (BHs). We have obtained the equipartition theorems and after that we obtained the heat capacities for both approaches. Depending on the values of both $\lambda-$parameter and $M$, the BH mass, relative to a modified R\'enyi entropy and, depending on the values of the $q-$parameter and $M$, the Incomplete entropy can determine if the BH has an unstable thermal equilibrium or not for each model.

Scalar perturbations can grow during a phantomic cosmological phase as the big rip is approached, in spite of the high accelerated expansion regime, if the equation of state is such that $\frac{p}{\rho} = \alpha < - {5/3}$. It is shown that such result is independent of the spatial curvature. The perturbed equations are exactly solved for any value of the curvature parameter $k$ and of the equation of state parameter $\alpha$. Growing modes are found asymptotically under the condition $\alpha < - {5/3}$. Since the Hubble radius decreases in a phantom universe, such result indicates that a phantom scenario may not survive longtime due to gravitational instability.

In this paper analytical solutions of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations that describe nonequatorial circular orbits of a spinning particle in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter background are studied, and the role of the cosmological constant is emphasized. It is shown that generally speaking a highly relativistic velocity of the particle is a necessary condition of motion along this type of orbits, with an exception of orbits locating close to the position of the static equilibrium, where low velocities are possible as well. Depending on the correlation between the spin orientation of the particle and its orbital velocity some of the possible nonequatorial circular orbits exist due to the repulsive action on the particle caused by the spin-gravity coupling and the others are caused by the attractive action.Here values of the energy of the particle on the corresponding orbits are also analyzed.

We reexamine the possibility of the detection of the cosmic topology in nearly flat hyperbolic Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universes by using patterns repetition. We update and extend our recent results in two important ways: by employing recent observational constraints on the cosmological density parameters as well as the recent mathematical results concerning small hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This produces new bounds with consequences for the detectability of the cosmic topology. In addition to obtaining new bounds, we also give a concrete example of the sensitive dependence of detectability of cosmic topology on the uncertainties in the observational values of the density parameters.

We clarify master variables and derive the quadratic Lagrangian for both odd- and even-parity perturbations. It is shown that the even modes are in general plagued by gradient instabilities, or otherwise the perturbations would be strongly coupled. Several possible ways out are also discussed.

In this work, we examine the main cosmological effects derived from a time-varying coupling ($\bar{Q}$) between a dark matter (DM) fluid and a dark energy (DE) fluid with time-varying DE equation state (EoS) parameter ($\omega_{DE}$), in two different coupled DE models. These scenarios were built in terms of Chebyschev polynomials. Our results show that such models within dark sector can suffer an instability in their perturbations at early times and a slight departure on the amplitude of the cosmic structure growth ($f\sigma_{8}$) from the standard background evolution of the matter. These effects depend on the form of both $\bar{Q}$ and $\omega_{DE}$. Here, we also perform a combined statistical analysis using current data to put tighter constraints on the parameters space. Finally, we use some selections criteria to distinguish our models.

The gateway is covariance under the complexified Clifford algebra of our space-time manifold M, and its spinor representations, which Sachs dubbed the Einstein group, E. On the microscopic scale, quantum gravity appears as the statistical mechanics of the null zig-zag rays of spinor fields in imaginary time T. Our unified field/particle action L_g also contains new couplings of gravitomagnetic fields to strong fields and weak potentials. These predict new physical phenomena: Axial jets of nuclear decay products emitted with left helicity along the axis of a massive, spinning body.

We investigate the shadow cast by a rotating braneworld black hole, in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. In addition to the angular momentum, the tidal charge term deforms the shape of the shadow. For a given value of the rotation parameter, the presence of a negative tidal charge enlarges the shadow and reduces its deformation with respect to Kerr spacetime, while for a positive charge, the opposite effect is obtained. We also analyze the case in which the combination of the rotation parameter and the tidal charge results in a naked singularity. We discuss the observational prospects corresponding to the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center.

Alexandrov proved that any simplicial complex homeomorphic to a sphere with strictly non-negative Gaussian curvature at each vertex can be isometrically embedded uniquely in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as a convex polyhedron. Due to the nonconstructive nature of his proof, there have yet to be any algorithms, that we know of, that realizes the Alexandrov embedding in polynomial time. Following his proof, we developed the adiabatic isometric mapping (AIM) algorithm. AIM uses a guided adiabatic pull-back procedure to produce "smooth" embeddings. Tests of AIM applied to two different polyhedral metrics suggests that its run time is sub cubic with respect to the number of vertices. Although Alexandrov's theorem specifically addresses the embedding of convex polyhedral metrics, we tested AIM on a broader class of polyhedral metrics that included regions of negative Gaussian curvature. One test was on a surface just outside the ergosphere of a Kerr black hole.

A relationship between the functional Schr\"odinger representation and the precanonical quantization of a scalar field theory is extended to an arbitrary curved space-time. The canonical functional derivative Schr\"odinger equation is derived from the manifestly covariant precanonical Schr\"odinger equation and the Schr\"odinger wave functional is expressed as the trace of the product integral of Clifford-algebra-valued precanonical wave functions restricted to a certain field configuration when the ultraviolet parameter $\varkappa$ introduced in precanonical quantization is infinite. Thus the standard QFT in functional Schr\"odinger representation emerges from the precanonical formulation of quantum fields as a singular limiting case.

The canonical functional derivative Schr\"odinger equation is derived from the manifestly covariant precanonical Schr\"odinger equation and the Schr\"odinger wave functional is expressed as the trace of the product integral of Clifford-algebra-valued precanonical wave functions restricted to a certain field configuration when the ultraviolet parameter $\varkappa$ introduced in precanonical quantization is infinite. Thus the standard QFT in functional Schr\"odinger representation emerges from the precanonical formulation of quantum fields as a singular limiting case.

The propagation of non-linear electromagnetic waves is carefully analyzed on a curved spacetime created by static spherically symmetric mass and charge distribution. We compute how non-linear electrodynamics affects the geodesic deviation and the redshift of photons propagating near this massive charged object. In the first order approximation, the effects of electromagnetic self-interaction can be distinguished from the usual Reissner-Nordstr\"om terms. In the particular case of Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian, we find that these self-interaction effects might be important near extremal compact charged objects.

We evaluate the physical viability and logical strength of an array of putative criteria for big bang singularity resolution in quantum cosmology. Based on this analysis, we propose a mutually consistent set of constitutive conditions, which we argue should be taken to jointly define `global' and `local' big bang singularity resolution in this context. Whilst the present article will focus exclusively on evaluating resolution criteria for big bang singularities in the context of finite dimensional models of quantum cosmology, it is also hoped that the core features of our analysis will be extendable to a more general analysis of criteria for quantum singularity resolution in cosmology and black hole physics.

Penrose's identification with warp provides the general framework for constructing the continuous form of impulsive gravitational wave metrics. We present the 2-component spinor formalism for the derivation of the full family of impulsive spherical gravitational wave metrics which brings out the power in identification with warp and leads to the simplest derivation of exact solutions. These solutions of the Einstein vacuum field equations are obtained by cutting Minkowski space into two pieces along a null cone and re-identifying them with warp which is given by an arbitrary non-linear holomorphic transformation. Using 2-component spinor techniques we construct a new metric describing an impulsive spherical gravitational wave where the vertex of the null cone lies on a world-line with constant acceleration.

Perturbative canonical quantum gravity is considered, when coupled to a renormalizable model for matter fields. It is proposed that the functional integral over the dilaton field should be disentangled from the other integrations over the metric fields. This should generate a conformally invariant theory as an intermediate result, where the conformal anomalies must be constrained to cancel out. When the residual metric is treated as a background, and if this background is taken to be flat, this leads to a novel constraint: in combination with the dilaton contributions, the matter lagrangian should have a vanishing beta function. The zeros of this beta function are isolated points in the landscape of quantum field theories, and so we arrive at a denumerable, or perhaps even finite, set of quantum theories for matter, where not only the coupling constants, but also the masses and the cosmological constant are all fixed, and computable, in terms of the Planck units.

The lack of a well-established solution for the gravitational energy problem might be one of the reasons why a clear road to quantum gravity does not exist. In this paper, the gravitational energy is studied in detail with the help of the teleparallel approach that is equivalent to general relativity. This approach is applied to the solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations known as $pp$-wave spacetimes. The quantization of the electromagnetic energy is assumed and it is shown that the proper area measured by an observer must satisfy an equation for consistency. The meaning of this equation is discussed and it is argued that the spacetime geometry should become discrete once all matter fields are quantized, including the constituents of the frame; it is shown that for a harmonic oscillation with wavelength $\lambda_0$, the area and the volume take the form $A=4(N+1/2)l_p^2/n$ and $V=2(N+1/2)l_p^2\lambda_0$, where $N$ is the number of photons, $l_p$ the Planck length, and $n$ is a natural number associated with the length along the $z$-axis of a box with cross-sectional area $A$. The localization of the gravitational energy problem is also discussed. The stress-energy tensors for the gravitational and electromagnetic fields are decomposed into energy density, pressures and heat flow. The resultant expressions are consistent with the properties of the fields, thus indicating that one can have a well-defined energy density for the gravitational field regardless of the principle of equivalence.

Among the four fundamental forces, only gravity does not couple to particle spins according to the general theory of relativity. We test this principle by searching for an anomalous scalar coupling between the neutron spin and the Earth gravity on the ground. We develop an atomic gas comagnetometer to measure the ratio of nuclear spin-precession frequencies between $^{129}$Xe and $^{131}$Xe, and search for a change of this ratio to the precision of 10$^{-9}$ as the sensor is flipped in the Earth gravitational field. The null results of this search set an upper limit on the coupling energy between the neutron spin and the gravity on the ground at 5.3$\times$10$^{-22}$~eV (95\% confidence level), resulting in a 17-fold improvement over the previous limit. The results can also be used to constrain several other anomalous interactions. In particular, the limit on the coupling strength of axion-mediated monopole-dipole interactions at the range of the Earth radius is improved by a factor of 17.

This article puts forward a hypothesis.In this article, the derivative of the cosmological constant is positive, and there is a possibility that the constant evolves from negative in the early universe to positive in the later period. We see that when the black hole is an extreme black hole $r_{+}=r_{-}$, the curvature scalar vanishes to zero. In general, the curvature scalar is not equal to zero. When $r_{+}=3 r_{-}$, the curvature scalar is equal to negative infinity. According to Ruppeiner's theory, this time represents the phase transition of the system. It is very interesting that the divergence point of the curvature scalar happens to be the Davis transition point. We have found the phase transition point of the new Schwarzschild black hole.

The theory presented in this monograph establishes the first mathematically rigorous result on the global nonlinear stability of self-gravitating matter under small perturbations of an asymptotically flat, spacelike hypersurface of Minkowski spacetime. It allows one to exclude the existence of dynamically unstable, self-gravitating massive fields and, therefore, solves a long-standing open problem in General Relativity. By a significant extension of the Hyperboloidal Foliation Method they introduced in 2014, the authors establish global-in-time existence for the Einstein equations expressed as a coupled wave-Klein-Gordon system of partial differential equations. The metric and matter fields are sought for in Sobolev-type functional spaces, suitably defined from the translations and the boosts of Minkowski spacetime.

We model gravitating relativistic 3D spheres composed of an anisotropic fluid in which the radial and transverse components of the pressure correspond to the vacuum energy and a generalized polytropic equation-of-state, respectively. By using the generalized Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, and solving the complete system of equations for these anisotropic generalized polytropic spheres, for a given range of model parameters, we find three novel classes of asymptotically AdS black hole solutions with regular core. We show the regularity of the solutions using curvature scalars and the formalism of geodesic completeness. Then, using the eigenvalues of the Riemann curvature tensor, we consider the effects of repulsive gravity in the three static 3D regular black holes, concluding that their regular behavior can be explained as due to the presence of repulsive gravity near the center of the objects. Finally, we study the stability of the regular black holes under the flow of the energy through the Cauchy horizon.

The invariant space of field equation solutions is obtained with respect to an indecomposable representation of the de Sitter group. By using the general solution of the massless spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ field equation, the vector-spinor quantum field operator and its corresponding Fock space is constructed. The quantum field operator can be written in terms of the vector-spinor polarization states and a quantum conformally coupled massless scalar field, which is constructed on Bunch-Davies vacuum state.

We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data from LIGO's fifth science run from two LIGO detectors. The search uses a semi-coherent approach, analyzing coherently 630 segments, each spanning 11.5 hours, and then incoherently combining the results of the single segments. It covers gravitational wave frequencies in a range from 78 to 496 Hz and a frequency-dependent range of first order spindown values down to -7.86 x 10^-8 Hz/s at the highest frequency. No gravitational waves were detected. We place 90% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude of sources at the Galactic Center. Placing 90% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude of sources at the Galactic Center, we reach ~3.35x10^-25 for frequencies near 150 Hz. These upper limits are the most constraining to date for a large-parameter-space search for continuous gravitational wave signals.

We present the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown, isolated neutron stars in the Galactic Center region, performed on two years of data from LIGO's fifth science run from two LIGO detectors. The search uses a semi-coherent approach, analyzing coherently 630 segments, each spanning 11.5 hours, and then incoherently combining the results of the single segments. It covers gravitational wave frequencies in a range from 78 to 496 Hz and a frequency-dependent range of first order spindown values down to -7.86 x 10^-8 Hz/s at the highest frequency. No gravitational waves were detected. We place 90% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude of sources at the Galactic Center. Placing 90% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude of sources at the Galactic Center, we reach ~3.35x10^-25 for frequencies near 150 Hz. These upper limits are the most constraining to date for a large-parameter-space search for continuous gravitational wave signals.

The Universe is modeled as a binary mixture whose constituents are described by a van der Waals fluid and by a dark energy density. The dark energy density is considered either as the quintessence or as the Chaplygin gas. The irreversible processes concerning the energy transfer between the van der Waals fluid and the gravitational field are taken into account. This model can simulate: (a) an inflationary period where the acceleration grows exponentially and the van der Waals fluid behaves like an inflaton; (b) an inflationary period where the acceleration is positive but it decreases and tends to zero whereas the energy density of the van der Waals fluid decays; (c) a decelerated period which corresponds to a matter dominated period with a non-negative pressure; and (d) a present accelerated period where the dark energy density outweighs the energy density of the van der Waals fluid.

We study the consequences of the running Newton's constant on several key aspects of spherically symmetric charged black holes by performing a renormalization group improvement of the classical Reissner-Nordstr\"om metric within the framework of the Einstein-Hilbert truncation in quantum Einstein gravity. In particular, we determine that the event horizon surfaces are stable except for the extremal case and we corroborate the appearance of a new extremality condition at the Planck scale that hints at the existence of a final stage after the black hole evaporation process. We find explicit expressions for the area and surface gravity of the event horizon and we show the existence of an exact form $dS$ with the surface gravity as integrating factor. This result is a first clue towards finding a generalization of the first law of black hole dynamics, for improved charged spherically symmetric spacetimes in contrast to a previous no-go result for axially symmetric ones with null charge. We finally calculate an explicit formula for the Komar mass at the event horizon, and we compare it with the total mass at infinity for a wide domain of values of the black hole parameters M, Q and $\bar{w}$, showing a loss of mass which can be interpreted as a consequence of the antiscreening effect of the gravitational field between the event horizon and infinity.

This result is a first clue towards finding a generalization of the first law of black hole dynamics, for improved charged spherically symmetric spacetimes in contrast to a previous no-go result for axially symmetric ones with null charge. We finally calculate an explicit formula for the Komar mass at the event horizon, and we compare it with the total mass at infinity for a wide domain of values of the black hole parameters M, Q and $\bar{w}$, showing a loss of mass which can be interpreted as a consequence of the antiscreening effect of the gravitational field between the event horizon and infinity.

In this work, a regular black string solution will be presented from the method used by Simpson-Visser to regularize the Schwarzschild solution. As in the Simpson-Visser work, in this new black string solution, it is possible to represent both a regular black hole and a wormhole just by changing the value of a parameter "$a$" used in its metric. Tensors and curvature invariants were analyzed to verify the regularity of the solution, as well as the energy conditions of the system. It was found that the null energy condition will always be violated for the entire space. The analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the regular black string was also carried out, in which the modifications generated about the original solution of the black string, were evaluated, specifically, the Hawking temperature, entropy, its thermal capacity, and the Helmholtz free energy. Finally, we investigate the possible stable or unstable circular orbits for photons and massive particles. The results were compared with those of the non-regular black string, seeking to make a parallel with the Simpson-Visser work.

We propose a new approach toward reconstructing the late-time near-horizon geometry of merging binary black holes, and toward computing gravitational-wave echoes from exotic compact objects. A binary black-hole merger spacetime can be divided by a time-like hypersurface into a Black-Hole Perturbation (BHP) region, in which the space-time geometry can be approximated by homogeneous linear perturbations of the final Kerr black hole, and a nonlinear region. At late times, the boundary between the two regions is an infalling shell. The BHP region contains late-time gravitational-waves emitted toward the future horizon, as well as those emitted toward future null infinity. In this region, by imposing no-ingoing wave conditions at past null infinity, and matching out-going waves at future null infinity with waveforms computed from numerical relativity, we can obtain waves that travel toward the future horizon. In particular, the Newman-Penrose $\psi_0$ associated with the in-going wave on the horizon is related to tidal deformations measured by fiducial observers floating above the horizon. We further determine the boundary of the BHP region on the future horizon by imposing that $\psi_0$ inside the BHP region can be faithfully represented by quasi-normal modes. Using a physically-motivated way to impose boundary conditions near the horizon, and applying the so-called Boltzmann reflectivity, we compute the quasi-normal modes of non-rotating ECOs, as well as gravitational-wave echoes. We also investigate the detectability of these echoes in current and future detectors, and prospects for parameter estimation.

We consider static, spherically symmetric configurations in general relativity, supported by nonlinear electromagnetic fields with gauge-invariant Lagrangians depending on the single invariant $f = F_{\mu\nu} F^{\mu\nu}$. After a brief review on black hole (BH) and solitonic solutions, obtained so far with pure electric or magnetic fields, an attempt is made to obtain dyonic solutions, those with both electric and magnetic charges. A general scheme is suggested, leading to solutions in quadratures for an arbitrary Lagrangian function $L(f)$ (up to some monotonicity restrictions); such solutions are expressed in terms of $f$ as a new radial coordinate instead of the usual coordinate $r$. For the truncated Born-Infeld theory (depending on the invariant $f$ only), a general dyonic solution is obtained in terms of $r$. A feature of interest in this solution is the existence of a special case with a self-dual electromagnetic field, $f \equiv 0$ and the Reissner-Nordstr\"om metric.

We study the weak equivalence principle in the context of modified dispersion relations, a prevalent approach to quantum gravity phenomenology. We find that generic modified dispersion relations violate the weak equivalence principle. The acceleration in general depends on the mass of the test body, unless the Hamiltonian is either two-homogeneous in the test particles' 4-momenta or the corresponding Lagrangian differs from the homogeneous case by a total derivative only. The key ingredient of this calculation is a $3+1$ decomposition of the parametrization invariant relativistic test particle action derived from the dispersion relation. Additionally, we apply a perturbative expansion in the test particle's spatial velocity and the inverse speed of light. To quantify our result, we provide a general formula for the E\"otv\'os factor of modified dispersion relations. As a specific example, we study the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e dispersion relation. Comparing the ensuing non-vanishing E\"otv\'os factor to recent data from the MICROSCOPE experiment, we obtain a bound of $\kappa^{-1}\geq10^{15}{\rm GeV}/c^2.$.

We report that the standard evolution of radiation-dominated era (RDE) universe $a \propto t^{1/2}$ is a sufficient condition for solving a sixth order gravitational field equation derived from the Lagrangian containing $B R^{ab}R_{ab} + C R {R^{;c}}_{c}$ as well as a polynomial $f(R)$ for a spatially flat radiation FLRW universe. By virtue of the similarity between $R^{ab}R_{ab}$ and $R^2$ models up to the background order and of the vanishing property of ${R^{;c}}_{c}$ for $ H = 1/(2t)$, the analytical solution can be obtained from a special case to general one. This proves that the standard cosmic evolution is valid even within modified gravitational theory involving higher-order terms. An application of this background solution to the tensor-type perturbation reduces the complicated equation to the standard second order equation of gravitational wave. We discuss the possible ways to discriminate the modified gravity model on the observations such as the gravitational wave from the disturbed universe and primordial abundances.

We examine the Wheeler-DeWitt equaton for a static, eternal Schwarzschild black hole in Kucha\v r-Brown variables and obtain its energy eigenstates. Consistent solutions vanish in the exterior of the Kruskal manifold and are non-vanishing only in the interior. The system is reminiscent of a particle in a box. States of definite parity avoid the singular geometry by vanishing at the origin. These definite parity states admit a discrete energy spectrum, depending on one quantum number which determines the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) mass of the black hole according to a relation conjectured long ago by Bekenstein, $M \sim \sqrt{n}M_p$. If attention is restricted only to these quantized energy states, a black hole is described not only by its mass but also by its parity. States of indefinite parity do not admit a quantized mass spectrum.

The perturbed Einstein-Maxwell equations in a new gauge are employed in the derivation. The wave equations refer to the perturbed Maxwell spinor $\Phi_0$ and to the shear $\sigma$ of a principal null direction of the Weyl curvature. The whole construction rests on the tripod of three distinct derivatives of the first curvature $\kappa$ of a principal null direction.

In a recent letter, arXiv:1509.00021, it was shown that the lensing of light around rotating boson stars and Kerr black holes with scalar hair can exhibit chaotic patterns. Since no separation of variables is known (or expected) for geodesic motion on these backgrounds, we examine the 2D effective potentials for photon trajectories, to obtain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. We find that the emergence of stable light rings on the background spacetimes, allows the formation of "pockets" in one of the effective potentials, for open sets of impact parameters, leading to an effective trapping of some trajectories, dubbed quasi-bound orbits. We conclude that pocket formation induces chaotic scattering, although not all chaotic orbits are associated to pockets. These and other features are illustrated in a gallery of examples, obtained with a new ray-tracing code, PYHOLE, which includes tools for a simple, simultaneous visualization of the effective potential together with the spacetime trajectory, for any given point in a lensing image. An analysis of photon orbits allows us to further establish a positive correlation between photon orbits in chaotic regions and those with more than one turning point in the radial direction; we recall that the latter is not possible around Kerr black holes. Moreover, we observe that the existence of several light rings around a horizon (several fundamental orbits, including a stable one), is a central ingredient for the existence of multiple shadows of a single hairy black hole. We also exhibit the lensing and shadows by Kerr black holes with scalar hair, observed away from the equatorial plane, obtained with PYHOLE.

We suggest that using the first law of thermodynamics is a convenient method to obtain a correct form of the expansion law of the universe \cite{T. Padmanabhan1}. We will, then, use this idea to obtain the expansion law for a Kodama observer. By using the expansion law for a Kodama observer, we can obtain the dynamic equation of the FRW universe for deformed Horava-Lifshitz gravity. The use of the first law of thermodynamics also leads to a new approach for obtaining the Friedmann equations for f(R) and scalar tensor gravities.

The decay of massive scalar field in the Schwarzschild black hole background is investigated here by consideration its quasinormal spectrum. It has been proved that the so-called $quasi-resonant$ modes, which are arbitrary long living (purely real) modes, can exist only if the effective potential is not zero at least at one of the boundaries of the $R$-region. We have observed that the quasinormal spectrum exists for all field masses and proved both analytically and numerically that when $n \to \infty$ the real part of the frequencies approaches the same asymptotical value ($\ln3/(8\pi M)$) as in the case of the massless field.

The action for a class of three-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories, with an electromagnetic Maxwell field and a cosmological constant, can be recast in a Brans-Dicke-Maxwell type action, with its free $\omega$ parameter. For a negative cosmological constant, these theories have static, electrically charged, and spherically symmetric black hole solutions. Those theories with well formulated asymptotics are studied through a Hamiltonian formalism, and their thermodynamical properties are found. The theories studied are general relativity, a dimensionally reduced cylindrical four-dimensional general relativity theory, and a theory representing a class of theories, all with a Maxwell term. The Hamiltonian formalism is setup in three dimensions through foliations on the right region of the Carter-Penrose diagram, with the bifurcation 1-sphere as the left boundary, and anti-de Sitter infinity as the right one. The metric functions on the hypersurfaces and the radial component of the vector potential one-form are the canonical coordinates. The Hamiltonian action is written, the Hamiltonian being a sum of constraints. One finds a new action which yields an unconstrained theory with two pairs of canonical coordinates ${M,P_M; Q,P_Q}$, where $M$ is the mass parameter, which needs renormalization, $P_M$ its conjugate momenta, $Q$ is the charge parameter, and $P_Q$ its conjugate momentum. The resulting Hamiltonian is a sum of boundary terms only. A quantization of the theory is performed. The Schr\"odinger evolution operator is constructed, the trace is taken, and the partition function of the grand canonical ensemble is obtained, the chemical potential being the electric potential. The charged black hole entropies differ, in general, from the usual quarter of the horizon area due to the dilaton.

In numerical relativity simulations with non-trivial matter configurations, one must solve the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the ADM formulation for the metric variables in the initial data. We introduce a new scheme based on the standard Conformal Transverse-Traceless (CTT) decomposition, in which instead of solving the Hamiltonian constraint as a 2nd order elliptic equation for a choice of mean curvature $K$, we solve an algebraic equation for $K$ for a choice of conformal factor. By doing so, we evade the existence and uniqueness problem of solutions of the Hamiltonian constraint without using the usual conformal rescaling of the source terms. This is particularly important when the sources are fundamental fields, as reconstructing the fields' configurations from the rescaled quantities is potentially problematic. Using an iterative multigrid solver, we show that this method provides rapid convergent solutions for several initial conditions that have not yet been studied in numerical relativity; namely (i) periodic inhomogeneous spacetimes with large random Gaussian scalar field perturbations and (ii) asymptotically flat black hole spacetimes with rotating scalar clouds.

We look at the foundations of electromagnetism in this chapter of the "eletromagnetism" book. For doing this, after some review (constraints on photon mass etc.), we use two approaches. The first one is to formulate a Parametrized Post-Maxwellian framework to include QED corrections and a pseudoscalar photon interaction. We discuss various vacuum birefringence experiments - ongoing and proposed - to measure these parameters. The second approach is to look at electromagnetism in gravity and various experiments and observations to determine its empirical foundation. We found that the foundation is solid with the only exception of a potentially possible pseudoscalar-photon interaction. We discussed its experimental constraints and look forward to more future experiments.

We present a detailed study of the static spherically symmetric solutions in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Since the diffeomorphism invariance can be restored by introducing the St\"{u}ckelberg fields $\phi^a$, there is new invariant $I^{ab}=g^{\mu\nu}\partial_{\mu}\phi^a\partial_\nu\phi^b$ in the massive gravity, which adds to the ones usually encountered in general relativity (GR). In the unitary gauge $\phi^a=x^\mu\delta_\mu^a$, any inverse metric $g^{\mu\nu}$ that has divergence including the coordinate singularity in GR would exhibit a singularity in the invariant $I^{ab}$. Therefore, there is no conventional Schwarzschild metric if we choose unitary gauge. In this paper, we obtain a self-consistent static spherically symmetric ansatz in the nonunitary gauge. Under this ansatz, we find that there are seven solutions including the Schwarzschild solution, Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m solution and five other solutions. These solutions may possess an event horizon depending upon the physical parameters (Schwarzschild radius $r_s$, scalar charge $S$ and/or electric charge $Q$). If these solutions possess an event horizon, we show that the singularity of $I^{ab}$ is absent at the horizon. Therefore, these solutions may become candidates for black holes in dRGT.

Motivated by the wide applications of thermal stability and phase transition, we investigate thermodynamic properties of charged BTZ black holes. We apply the standard method to calculate the heat capacity and the Hessian matrix and find that thermal stability of charged BTZ solutions depends on the choice of ensemble. To overcome this problem, we take into account cosmological constant as a thermodynamical variable. By this modification, we show that the ensemble dependency is eliminated and thermal stability conditions are the same in both ensembles. Then, we generalize our solutions to the case of nonlinear electrodynamics. We show how nonlinear matter field modifies the geometrical behavior of the metric function. We also study phase transition and thermal stability of these black holes in context of both canonical and grand canonical ensembles. We show that by considering the cosmological constant as a thermodynamical variable and modifying the Hessian matrix, the ensemble dependency of thermal stability will be eliminated.

Non-minimally coupled scalar field models of dark energy are equivalent to an interacting quintessence in the Einstein's frame. Considering two special important choices of the potential of the scalar field, i.e. nearly flat and thawing potential, one has an analytical expression for the equation of state parameter as a function of the density parameter of the scalar field for any choice. Here we investigate the non-minimal quintessence model by applying the method of statefinder diagnosis to it and plotting the evolutionary trajectories of the statefinder parameters.

The phase space reduction of Schwarzschild black holes by Thiemann and Kastrup and by Kucha\v{r} is reexamined from a different perspective on gauge freedom. This perspective introduces additional gauge transformations which correspond to asymptotically nontrivial diffeomorphisms. Various subtleties concerning variational principles for asymptotically flat systems are addressed which allow us to avoid the usual conclusion that treating such transformations as gauge implies the vanishing of corresponding total charges. Instead, superselection rules are found for the (nonvanishing) ADM mass at the asymptotic boundaries. The addition of phenomenological clocks at each asymptotic boundary is also studied and compared with the `parametrization clocks' of Kucha\v{r}.

We examine numerically and qualitatively the Lema\^\i tre--Tolman--Bondi (LTB) inhomogeneous dust solutions as a 3--dimensional dynamical system characterized by six critical points. One of the coordinates of the phase space is an average density parameter, $<\Omega>$, which behaves as the ordinary $\Omega$ in Friedman-Lema\^\i tre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) dust spacetimes. The other two coordinates, a shear parameter and a density contrast function, convey the effects of inhomogeneity. As long as shell crossing singularities are absent, this phase space is bounded or it can be trivially compactified. This space contains several invariant subspaces which define relevant particular cases, such as: ``parabolic'' evolution, FLRW dust and the Schwarzschild--Kruskal vacuum limit. We examine in detail the phase space evolution of several dust configurations: a low density void formation scenario, high density re--collapsing universes with open, closed and wormhole topologies, a structure formation scenario with a black hole surrounded by an expanding background, and the Schwarzschild--Kruskal vacuum case. Solution curves start expanding from a past attractor (source) in the plane $<\Omega>=1$, associated with self similar regime at an initial singularity. Depending on the initial conditions and specific configurations, the curves approach several saddle points as they evolve between this past attractor and other two possible future attractors: perpetually expanding curves terminate at a line of sinks at $<\Omega>=0$, while collapsing curves reach maximal expansion as $<\Omega>$ diverges and end up in sink that coincides with the past attractor and is also associated with self similar behavior.

In this article, we investigate the thermodynamic stability of the FRW universe for two examples, Tsallis entropy and loop quantum gravity, by considering non-extensive statistical mechanics. The heat capacity, free energy and pressure of the universe are obtained. For the Tsallis entropy model, we obtained the constraint for $\beta$, namely, $1/2 < \beta < 2$. The free energy of a thermal equilibrium universe must be less than zero. We suggest that the reason for the accelerated expansion of the universe is not due to Tsallis entropy. Similar results are obtained for loop quantum gravity. However, since the values of $\Lambda(\gamma)$ and $q$ cannot be determined in this model, the results become more subtle than that in the Tsallis entropy model. In addition, we compare the results for the universe with those for a Schwarzschild black hole.

Using the technique of spectral decomposition, we investigated the late-time tails of massless and massive coupled scalar fields in the background of a black hole with a global monopole. We found that due to existence of the coupling between the scalar and gravitational fields, the massless scalar field decay faster at timelike infinity $i_+$, and so does the massive one in the intermediate late time. But the asymptotically late-time tail for the massive scalar field is not affected and its decay rate still is $t^{-5/6}$.

Modified Gravity (MOG) has been used successfully to explain the rotation curves of galaxies, the motion of galaxy clusters, the Bullet Cluster, and cosmological observations without the use of dark matter or Einstein's cosmological constant. We now have the ability to demonstrate how these solutions can be obtained directly from the action principle, without resorting to the use of fitted parameters or empirical formulae. We obtain numerical solutions to the theory's field equations that are exact in the sense that no terms are omitted, in two important cases: the spherically symmetric, static vacuum solution and the cosmological case of an homogeneous, isotropic universe. We compare these results to selected astrophysical and cosmological observations.

Recently, different methods succeeded in calculating the spin dynamics at higher orders in the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation. This is an essential step toward the determination of more accurate templates for gravitational waves, to be used in future gravitational wave astronomy. We focus on the extension of the ADM canonical formalism to spinning binary black holes. Using the global Poincare invariance of asymptotically flat spacetimes as the most important guiding consistency condition, this extension can be constructed order by order in the PN approximation. We were able to reach a high order both in the spin power and the PN counting.

As an extension of a previous work in which perihelion advances are considered only and as an attempt to find more stringent constraints on its parameters, we investigate effects on astronomical observation and experiments conducted in the Solar System due to the $f(T)$ gravity which contains a quadratic correction of $\alpha T^2$ ($\alpha$ is a model parameter) and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. Using a spherical solution describing the Sun's gravitational field, the resulting secular evolution of planetary orbital motions, light deflection, gravitational time delay and frequency shift are calculated up to the leading contribution. Among them, we find qualitatively that the light deflection holds a unique bound on $\alpha$, without dependence on $\Lambda$, and the time delay experiments during inferior conjunction impose a clean constraint on $\Lambda$, regardless of $\alpha$. Based on observation and experiments, especially the supplementary advances in the perihelia provided by the INPOP10a ephemeris, we obtain the upper-bounds quantitatively: $|\alpha| \le 1.2 \times 10^{2}$ m${}^2$ and $ |\Lambda| \le 1.8 \times 10^{-43}$ m${}^{-2}$, at least 10 times tighter than the previous result.

This paper is devoted to explore modified $f(\mathcal{R})$ theories of gravity using Noether symmetry approach. For this purpose, Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime is chosen to investigate the cosmic evolution. The study is mainly divided into two parts: Firstly Noether symmetries of metric $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity are revisited and some new class of solutions with the help of conserved quantities are reported. It is shown that different scenarios of cosmic evolution can be discussed using Noether symmetries and one of the case indicates the chances for the existence of Big Rip singularity. Secondly, $f(\mathcal{R})$ theory coupled with scalar field has been discussed in detail. The Noether equations of modified gravity are reported with three subcases for flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. It is concluded that conserved quantities are quite helpful to find some important exact solutions in the cosmological contexts. Moreover, the scalar field involved in the modified gravity plays a vital role in the cosmic evolution and an accelerated expansion phase can be observed for some suitable choices of $f(\mathcal{R},\varphi,\chi)$ gravity models.

The detection of the first gravitational wave events by the Advanced LIGO Scientific Collaboration has opened a new possibility for the study of fundamental physics of gravitational interaction. This work conducts an analysis of possible polarization states of gravitational waves (GW) radiated by the most promising types of sources to be detected by the modern interferometric antennas: coalescing compact binaries and collapsing supernovae. Several theoretical approaches to the current as well as future gravitational wave signals interpretation are discussed together with a strategy for a search for corresponding transients by means of multimessenger astronomy. One of the aims of this thesis is to develop a new method for GW source localization depending on a polarization state of an incoming GW in the case of a detection by two interferometric antennas. Additionally, there is elaborated a further method focused on a possibility to recognise different polarization states of a GW detected by means of a network with three and more antennas in operation. The both proposed methods have been applied to the LIGO events GW150914, GW151226 and LVT151012, together with the matching of the results with the currently known electromagnetic follow-ups to these GW events. The conclusion of this research is that there are opportunities for verifying different predictions of the scalar-tensor theories of gravitation by means of the analysis of the polarization states of the detected gravitational waves. All in all, this work provides a new test of the theoretical assumptions about the nature of gravity as well as about the processes in relativistic compact objects of various types.

A notion of distorted torsion tensor was introduced by Okubo, in the establishment of the Nijenhuis-Bianchi identity and of BRST-like operators. These quantities are constructed with the help of the Nijenhuis tensor, which in turn is defined in terms of a (1,1) tensor $S^\lambda_\mu$. This tensor enters the construction of the distorted torsion tensor. We use this tensor to extend the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) into a theory defined by the tetrad fields and by the tensor $S^\lambda_\mu$. The ordinary TEGR is recovered if $S^\lambda_\mu=\delta^\lambda_\mu$. We consider the flat space-time formulation of the theory, in terms of $S^\lambda_\mu$ only, and show that this tensor satisfies the wave equation for massless spin 2 fields.

In this paper, an elegant mathematical approach is introduced to solve the equations of warm inflationary model without using extra approximations other than slow-roll. This important inflationary method known as Hamilton-Jacobian formalism. Here tachyon field and the imperfect fluid are considered to be the cosmic ingredients to create inflation. A general formalism is developed for the considered inflationary model and further work is restricted to weak dissipative regime. A detailed analysis of the model is presented for three different choices of bulk and dissipative coefficients taking as constant as well as variable (function of Hubble parameter and inflaton). In each case, the involved model parameters are constrained to plot the physical acceptable range of scalar spectral index and tensor to scalar ratio. The parametric trajectories proved that the acquired results for all the three cases are compatible with Planck astrophysical data. Furthermore, the existence of warm inflation and slow-roll limit are also verified graphically.

Chern-Simons electrodynamics in 2+1-spacetimes with torsion is investigated. We start from the usual Chern-Simons (CS) electrodynamics Lagrangian and Cartan torsion is introduced in the covariant derivative and by a direct coupling of torsion vector to the CS field. Variation of the Lagrangian with respect to torsion shows that Chern-Simons field is proportional to the product of the square of the scalar field and torsion. The electric field is proportional to torsion vector and the magnetic flux is computed in terms of the time-component of the two dimensional torsion. Contrary to early massive electrodynamics in the present model the photon mass does not depend on torsion.

The tails of gravitational waves are caused by scattering of linear waves onto the space-time curvature generated by the total mass-energy of the source. Quite naturally, the tails of tails are caused by curvature scattering of the tails of waves themselves. The tails of tails are associated with the cubic non-linear interaction between two mass monopole moments and, dominantly, the mass quadrupole of the source. In this paper we determine the radiation field at large distances from the source for this particular monopole-monopole-quadrupole interaction. We find that the tails of tails appear at the third post-Newtonian (3PN) order beyond the usual quadrupole radiation. Motivated by the need of accurate templates to be used in the data analysis of future detectors of gravitational waves, we compute the contribution of tails, and of tails of tails, up to the 3.5PN order in the energy flux generated by inspiraling compact binaries.

We propose a new Dark Energy parametrization based on the dynamics of a scalar field. We use an equation of state w=(x-1)/(x+1), with x=E_k/V, the ratio of kinetic energy E_k=\dotphi^2/2 and potential V. The equation of motion gives x=(L/6)(V/3H^2) and has a solution x=([(1+y)^2+2 L/3]^{1/2}-(1+y))/2 where y\equiv \rmm/V and L= (V'/V)^2 (1+q)^2, q=\ddotphi/V'. The resulting EoS is w=[6+ L- 6 \sqrt((1+y)^2+2L/3)]/(L+6y). Since the universe is accelerating at present time we use the slow roll approximation in which case we have |q|<< 1 and L\simeq (V'/V)^2. However, the derivation of w is exact and has no approximation. By choosing an appropriate ansatz for L we obtain a wide class of behavior for the evolution of Dark Energy without the need to specify the potential V. The EoS w can either grow and later decrease, or other way around, as a function of redshift and it is constraint between -1\leq w\leq 1 as for any canonical scalar field with only gravitational interaction. To determine the dynamics of Dark Energy we calculate the background evolution and its perturbations, since they are important to discriminate between different DE models. Our parametrization follows closely the dynamics of a scalar field scalar fields and the function L allow us to connect it with the potential V(phi) of the scalar field phi.

We consider a chiral cosmological model in the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet cosmology. Using a decomposition of the latter equations in such a way that the first chiral field is responsible for the Einstein part of the model, while the second field together with the kinetic interaction is connected with the Gauss--Bonnet part of the theory, we find new exact solutions for the 2-component chiral cosmological model with and without the kinetic interaction between fields.

It has been argued that a self-interacting massive vector field is pathological due to a dynamical formation of a singular effective metric of the vector field, which is the onset of a gradient or ghost instability. We discuss that this singularity formation is not necessarily a fundamental problem but a breakdown of the effective field theory (EFT) description of the massive vector field. By using a model of ultraviolet (UV) completion of the massive vector field, we demonstrate that a Proca star, a self-gravitating condensate of the vector field, continues to exist even after the EFT suffers from a gradient instability without any pathology at UV, in which the EFT description is still valid and the gradient instability in EFT may be interpreted as a standard dynamical instability of a high-density boson star from the UV perspective. On the other hand, we find that the EFT description is broken before the ghost instability appears. This suggests that a heavy degree of freedom may be spontaneously excited to cure the pathology of the EFT as the EFT dynamically tends to approach the onset of the ghost instability.

We construct rotating boson stars in (4+1)-dimensional asymptotically Anti-de Sitter space-time (aAdS) with two equal angular momenta that are composed out of a massive and self-interacting scalar field. These solutions possess a single Killing vector field. We construct explicit solutions of the equations in the case of a fixed AdS background and vanishing self-coupling of the scalar field. These are the generalizations of the oscillons discussed in the literature previously now taking the mass of the scalar field into account. We study the evolution of the spectrum of massive oscillons when taking backreaction and/or the self-coupling into account numerically. We observe that very compact boson stars possess an ergoregion.
