We study the problem of detecting, and infering astrophysical information from, gravitational waves from a pulsating neutron star. We show that the fluid f and p-modes, as well as the gravitational-wave w-modes may be detectable from sources in our own galaxy, and investigate how accurately the frequencies and damping rates of these modes can be infered from a noisy gravitational-wave data stream. Based on the conclusions of this discussion we propose a strategy for revealing the supranuclear equation of state using the neutron star fingerprints: the observed frequencies of an f and a p-mode. We also discuss how well the source can be located in the sky using observations with several detectors.

We use a recently derived integral representation of the one-loop effective action in Einstein-Maxwell theory for an explicit calculation of the part of the effective action containing the information on the low energy limit of the five-point amplitudes involving one graviton, four photons and either a scalar or spinor loop. All available identities are used to get the result into a relatively compact form.

The orbital motion of inspiralling and coalescing black hole binaries can be investigated using a variety of approximation schemes and numerical methods within general relativity: post-Newtonian expansions, black hole perturbation theory, numerical relativity, and the effective-one-body formalism. We review two recent comparisons of the predictions from these various techniques. Both comparisons rely on the calculation of a coordinate invariant relation, in the case of non-spinning binary black holes on quasi-circular orbits. All methods are shown to agree very well in their common domain of validity.

The aim of this paper is to extend some basic results about marginally outer trapped surfaces to the context of surfaces having general null expansion. Motivated in part by recent work of Chai-Wan, we introduce the notion of $\mathfrak{g}$-stability for a general closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ in an ambient initial data set and prove that, under natural energy conditions, $\Sigma$ has positive Yamabe type, that is, $\Sigma$ admits a metric of positive scalar curvature, provided $\Sigma$ is $\mathfrak{g}$-stable. Similar results are obtained when $\Sigma$ is embedded in a spacelike, or null, hypersurface of a spacetime satisfying the dominant energy condition. Conditions implying $\mathfrak{g}$-stability are also discussed. Finally, we obtain a spacetime positive mass theorem for initial data sets with compact boundary $\Sigma$ of positive null expansion, assuming that the dominant energy condition is sufficiently strict near $\Sigma$. This extends recent results of Galloway-Lee and Lee-Lesourd-Unger.

Building on the analytical description of the post-merger (ringdown) waveform of coalescing, non-precessing, spinning, (BBHs) introduced in Phys. Rev. D 90, 024054 (2014), we propose an analytic, closed form, time-domain, representation of the $\ell=m=2$ gravitational radiation mode emitted after merger. This expression is given as a function of the component masses and dimensionless spins $(m_{1,2},\chi_{1,2})$ of the two inspiralling objects, as well as of the mass $M_{\rm BH}$ and (complex) frequency $\sigma_{1}$ of the fundamental quasi-normal mode of the remnant black hole. Our proposed template is obtained by fitting the post-merger waveform part of several publicly available numerical relativity simulations from the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) catalog and then suitably interpolating over (symmetric) mass ratio and spins. We show that this analytic expression accurately reproduces ($\sim$~0.01 rad) the phasing of the post-merger data of other datasets not used in its construction. This is notably the case of the spin-aligned run SXS:BBH:0305, whose intrinsic parameters are consistent with the 90\% credible intervals reported by the parameter-estimation followup of GW150914 in Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 (2016) no.24, 241102. Using SXS waveforms as "experimental" data, we further show that our template could be used on the actual GW150914 data to perform a new measure the complex frequency of the fundamental quasi-normal mode so to exploit the complete (high signal-to-noise-ratio) post-merger waveform.

We introduce the generalized Lorentz gauge condition in the theory of quantum electrodynamics into the general vector-tensor theories of gravity. Then we explore the cosmic evolution and the static, spherically symmetric solution of the four dimensional vector field with the generalized Lorenz gauge. We find that, if the vector field is minimally coupled to the gravitation, it behaves as the cosmological constant. On the other hand, if it is nonminimally coupled to the gravitation, the vector field could behave as vast matters in the background of spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe. But it may be not the case. The weak, strong and dominant energy conditions, the stability analysis of classical and quantum aspects would put constraints on the parameters and so the equation of state of matters would be greatly constrained.

Constraining the dark energy deceleration parameter is one of the fascinating topics in the recent cosmological paradigm. This work aims to reconstruct the dark energy using parametrization of the deceleration parameter in a flat FRW universe filled with radiation, dark energy, and pressure-less dark matter. Thus, we have considered four well-motivated parameterizations of q(z), which can provide the evolution scenario from the deceleration to acceleration phase of the Universe. We have evaluated the expression of the corresponding Hubble parameter of each parametrization by imposing it into the Friedmann equation. We have constrained the model parameter through H(z), Pantheon, and baryons acoustic oscillation (BOA) data. Next, we have estimated the best-fit values of the model parameters by using Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) technique and implementing H(z)+ BAO+SNe-Ia dataset. Then we analyzed the cosmographic parameter, such as deceleration, jerk, and snap parameters, graphically by employing the best-fit values of the model parameter. Moreover, we have analyzed statefinder and Om diagnostics parameters for each scenario to discriminate various dark energy models. Using the information criteria, the viability of the models have examined. In the end, we have analogized our outcomes with the standard {\Lambda}CDM model to examine the viability of our models

Compact objects, like neutron stars and white dwarfs, may accrete dark matter, and then be sensitive probes of its presence. These compact stars with a dark matter component can be modeled by a perfect fluid minimally coupled to a complex scalar field (representing a bosonic dark matter component), resulting in objects known as fermion-boson stars. We have performed the dynamical evolution of these stars in order to analyze their stability, and to study their spectrum of normal modes, which may reveal the amount of dark matter in the system. Their stability analysis shows a structure similar to that of an isolated (fermion or boson) star, with equilibrium configurations either laying on the stable or on the unstable branch. The analysis of the spectrum of normal modes indicates the presence of new oscillation modes in the fermionic part of the star, which result from the coupling to the bosonic component through the gravity.

The probability representation, in which cosmological quantum states are described by a standard positive probability distribution, is constructed for minisuperspace models selected by Noether symmetries. In such a case, the tomographic probability distribution provides the classical evolution for the models and can be considered an approach to select "observable" universes. Some specific examples, derived from Extended Theories of Gravity, are worked out. We discuss also how to connect tomograms, symmetries and cosmological parameters.

A general definition of a clock is proposed, and the role of clocks in establishing temporal pre-conditions in quantum mechanical questions is critically discussed. The different status of clocks as used by theorists external to a system and as used by participant-observers within a system is emphasized. It is shown that the foliation of spacetime into instants of time is necessary to correctly interpret the readings of clocks and that clocks are thus insufficient to reconstruct time in the absence of such a foliation.

We bring together two popular formalisms which generically parameterise deviations from General Relativity on astrophysical and cosmological scales, namely the parameterised post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism and the effective field theory (EFT) of dark energy and modified gravity. These separate formalisms are successfully applied to independently perform tests of gravity in their respective regimes of applicability on vastly different length scales. Nonlinear screening mechanisms indeed make it imperative to probe General Relativity across a wide range of scales. For a comprehensive interpretation of the complementary measurements it is important to connect them to effectively constrain the vast gravitational model space. We establish such a connection within the framework of Horndeski scalar-tensor theories restricted to a luminal propagation speed of gravitational waves. This is possible via the reconstruction of the family of linearly degenerate covariant Horndeski actions from the set of EFT functions and the subsequent derivation of the PPN parameters from the reconstructed theory. We outline the required conditions which ensure a reconstructed Horndeski model possesses a screening mechanism that enables significant modifications on cosmological scales while respecting stringent astrophysical bounds. Employing a scaling method, we then perform the general post-Newtonian expansion of the reconstructed models to derive their PPN parameters $\gamma$ and $\beta$ in their screened regimes.

(Abridged) Numerical simulation of strange quark stars (QSs) is challenging due to the strong density discontinuity at the stellar surface. In this paper, we report successful simulations of rapidly rotating QSs and study their oscillation modes in full general relativity. Building on top of the numerical relativity code \texttt{Einstein Toolkit}, we implement a positivity-preserving Riemann solver and a dust-like atmosphere to handle the density discontinuity at the surface. We demonstrate the robustness of our numerical method by performing stable evolutions of rotating QSs close to the Keplerian limit and extracting their oscillation modes. We focus on the quadrupolar $l=|m|=2$ $f$-mode and study whether they can still satisfy the universal relations recently proposed for rotating neutron stars (NSs). We find that two of the three proposed relations can still be satisfied by rotating QSs. For the remaining broken relation, we propose a new relation to unify the NS and QS data by invoking the dimensionless spin parameter $j$. The onsets of secular instabilities for rotating QSs are also studied by analyzing the $f$-mode frequencies. Same as the result found previously for NSs, we find that QSs become unstable to the Chandrasekhar-Friedman-Schutz instability when the angular velocity of the star $\Omega \approx 3.4 \sigma_0$ for sequences of constant central energy density, where $\sigma_0$ is the mode frequency of the corresponding nonrotating configurations. For the viscosity-driven instability, we find that QSs become unstable when $j\approx 0.881$ for both sequences of constant central energy density and constant baryon mass. Such a high value of $j$ cannot be achieved by realistic rotating NSs before reaching the Keplerian limit.

In Einstein's general theory of gravitation, with torsion postulated to vanish and the affine connection identified to the Christoffel symbol, only the curvature tensor plays the central role. For such a purely metric geometry, two well-known topological invariants, namely the Euler class and the Pontryagin class, are useful in characterizing the topological properties of the spacetime. From a gauge theory point of view, and especially in the presence of spin, torsion naturally comes into play, and the underlying spacetime is no longer purely metric. We describe a torsional topological invariant, discovered in 1982, that has now found increasing usefulness in recent developments.

We construct analytic extensions of the Pomeransky-Senkov metrics with multiple Killing horizons and asymptotic regions. We show that, in our extensions, the singularities associated to an obstruction to differentiability of the metric lie beyond event horizons. We analyze the topology of the non-empty singular set, which turns out to be parameter-dependent. We present numerical evidence for stable causality of the domain of outer communications. The resulting global structure is somewhat reminiscent of that of Kerr space-time.

We present results from the first study of critical behavior in 3-d gravitational collapse. The source of the gravitational field is a massless scalar field. This is a well-studied case for spherically symmetric gravitational collapse, allowing us to understand the reliability and accuracy of the simulations. We study both supercritical and subcritical evolutions to see if one provides more accurate results than the other. We find that even for non-spherical initial data with 35 percent of the power in the $\ell=2$ spherical harmonic, the critical solution is the same as in spherical symmetry.

We expand on our study of the gravitational and electromagnetic emissions from the late stage of an inspiraling neutron star binary as presented in Ref. \cite{Palenzuela:2013hu}. Interactions between the stellar magnetospheres, driven by the extreme dynamics of the merger, can yield considerable outflows. We study the gravitational and electromagnetic waves produced during the inspiral and merger of a binary neutron star system using a full relativistic, resistive MHD evolution code. We show that the interaction between the stellar magnetospheres extracts kinetic energy from the system and powers radiative Poynting flux and heat dissipation. These features depend strongly on the configuration of the initial stellar magnetic moments. Our results indicate that this power can strongly outshine pulsars in binaries and have a distinctive angular and time-dependent pattern. Our discussion provides more detail than Ref. \cite{Palenzuela:2013hu}, showing clear evidence of the different effects taking place during the inspiral. Our simulations include a few milliseconds after the actual merger and study the dynamics of the magnetic fields during the formation of the hypermassive neutron star. We also briefly discuss the possibility of observing such emissions.

Oscillatons are spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein Klein Gordon (EKG) equations for soliton stars made of real time dependent scalar fields. These equations are non singular and satisfy flatness conditions asymptotically with periodic time dependency. In this paper, we investigate the geodesic motion of particles moving around an oscillaton related to a time dependent scalar field. Bound orbital is found for these particles under the condition of particular values of angular momentum L and initial radial position. We discuss this topic for an exponential scalar field potential which could be of the exponential form with a scalar field and investigate whether the radial coordinates of such particles oscillate in time or not and thereby we could predict the corresponding oscillating period as well as amplitude. It is necessary to recall, in general relativity, a geodesic generalizes the notion of a straight line to curved space time. Importantly, the world line of a particle free from all external, non gravitational forces, is a particular type of geodesic. In other words, a freely moving or falling particle always moves along a geodesic. In general relativity, gravity can be regarded as not a force but a consequence of a curved space time geometry where the source of curvature is the stress energy tensor (representing matter, for instance). Thus, for example, the path of a planet orbiting around a star is the projection of a geodesic of the curved 4D space time geometry around the star onto 3D space.

The multidimensional cosmological model describing the evolution of $n$ Einstein spaces in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid is considered. When certain restrictions on the parameters of the model are imposed, the dynamics of the model near the singularity is reduced to a billiard on the $(n-1)$-dimensional Lobachevsky space $H^{n-1}$. The geometrical criterion for the finiteness of the billiard volume and its compactness is suggested. This criterion reduces the problem to the problem of illumination of $(n-2)$-dimensional sphere $S^{n-2}$ by point-like sources. Some generalization of the considered scheme (including scalar field and quantum generalizations) are considered.

The second order Ordinary Differential Equation which describes the unknown part of the solution space of some vacuum Bianchi Cosmologies is completely integrated for Type III, thus obtaining the general solution to Einstein's Field Equations for this case, with the aid of the sixth Painlev\'{e} transcendent $P_{VI}$. For particular representations of $P_{VI}$ we obtain the known Kinnersley two-parameter space-time and a solution of Euclidean signature. The imposition of the space-time generalization of a "hidden" symmetry of the generic Type III spatial slice, enables us to retrieve the two-parameter subfamily without considering the Painlev\'{e} transcendent.

Evading formation of the domain walls in cosmological phase transitions is one of the key problems to be solved for getting agreement with the observed large-scale homogeneity of the Universe. The previous attempts to get around this obstacle led to imposing severe observational constraints on the parameters of the fields involved. Our aim is to show that yet another way to overcome the above problem is accounting for EPR effect. Namely, if the scalar (Higgs) field was presented by a single quantum state at the initial instant of time, then its reduction during a phase transition at some later instant should be correlated even at distances exceeding the local cosmological horizon. By considering a simplest 1D model with Z_2 Higgs field, we demonstrate that EPR effect really can substantially reduce the probability of spontaneous creation of the domain walls.

This work offers a didactical introduction to the calculations and geometrical properties of a static, spherically symmetric spacetime foliated by hyperboloidal time surfaces. We discuss the various degrees of freedom involved, namely the height function, responsible for introducing the hyperboloidal time coordinate, and a radial compactification function. A central outcome is the expression of the Trautman-Bondi mass in terms of the hyperboloidal metric functions. Moreover, we apply this formalism to a class of wave equations commonly used in black-hole perturbation theory. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive derivation of the hyperboloidal minimal gauge, introducing two alternative approaches within this conceptual framework: the in-out and out-in strategies. Specifically, we demonstrate that the height function in the in-out strategy follows from the well-known tortoise coordinate by changing the sign of the terms that become singular at future null infinity. Similarly, for the out-in strategy, a sign change also occurs in the tortoise coordinate's regular terms. We apply the methodology to the following spacetimes: Singularity-approaching slices in Schwarzschild, higher-dimensional black holes, black hole with matter halo, and Reissner- Nordstr\"om-de Sitter. From this heuristic study, we conjecture that the out-in strategy is best adapted for black hole geometries that account for environmental or effective quantum effects.

In this paper, we develop an effective quantum theory of black hole horizons using only the local horizon geometry. On the covariant phase space of the Holst action admitting Weak Isolated Horizon as an inner boundary, we construct Hamiltonian charges corresponding to Lorentz symmetries. We show that horizon area is the Hamiltonian charge corresponding to Lorentz boosts as well as that for Lorentz rotation which acts on $2$-sphere cross-sections of the horizon. Using this expression of area as a generator of Lorentz rotation, and the fact that quantum states residing on the horizon cross-sections carry a representation of $ISO(2)$, we derive the spectrum of area operator on the horizon. The eigenstates of this area operator are shown to be labelled by integers or half integers. The entropy is obtained completely in terms of these \emph{area quanta} residing on the horizon, and is shown to have exponentially suppressing corrections to the area law. The formalism is also extended to non-minimally coupled scalar fields, where the area operator gets modified due to the value of the scalar field on the horizon.

The classical boundary-value problem of the Einstein field equations is studied with an arbitrary cosmological constant, in the case of a compact ($S^{3}$) boundary given a biaxial Bianchi-IX positive-definite three-metric, specified by two radii $(a,b).$ For the simplest, four-ball, topology of the manifold with this boundary, the regular classical solutions are found within the family of Taub-NUT-(anti)de Sitter metrics with self-dual Weyl curvature. For arbitrary choice of positive radii $(a,b),$ we find that there are three solutions for the infilling geometry of this type. We obtain exact solutions for them and for their Euclidean actions. The case of negative cosmological constant is investigated further. For reasonable squashing of the three-sphere, all three infilling solutions have real-valued actions which possess a ``cusp catastrophe'' structure with a non-self-intersecting ``catastrophe manifold'' implying that the dominant contribution comes from the unique real positive-definite solution on the ball. The positive-definite solution exists even for larger deformations of the three-sphere, as long as a certain inequality between $a$ and $b$ holds. The action of this solution is proportional to $-a^{3}$ for large $a (\sim b)$ and hence larger radii are favoured. The same boundary-value problem with more complicated interior topology containing a ``bolt'' is investigated in a forthcoming paper.

Motivated by inclination of the Earth's orbit that is not located at galactic plane for observing the shadow of Sgr A*, we consider the black hole shadow for arbitrary inclinations and different velocities of observers. A surprising finding of the study is that rotation axis of a black hole might not be extracted from its shadow, since the ways of the shadow getting distorted depend not only on the spin of the black hole, but also velocities of observers. Namely, appearance of the shadow could be rotated by an angle in observers' celestial sphere due to the observer in motion.

Motivated by inclination of the Earth's orbit that is not located at galactic plane for observing the shadow of Sgr A*, we consider the black hole shadow for arbitrary inclinations and different velocities of observers. A surprising finding of the study is that rotation axis of a black hole might not be extracted from its shadow, since the ways of the shadow getting distorted depend not only on the spin of the black hole, but also velocities of observers. Namely, appearance of the shadow could be rotated by an angle in observers' celestial sphere due to the observer in motion. In order to further confirm this result, a formalism is presented for calculating the shadow in terms of the velocity perturbations. Besides, we also consider the Earth's orbit for the shadow of Sgr A* by making use of this formalism.

We study the oscillations of neutron and strange stars in $R^2$ gravity. More precisely the nonradial $f$-modes are examined and the differences with pure general relativity are investigated. Using these results we build several gravitational wave asteroseismology relations. Our goal is to determine up to what extend these relations are equation of state independent and whether they deviate enough from general relativity in order to produce an observable effect. The results show that the differences coming from $R^2$ gravity are up to 10\% and that will be difficult to be observed in the near future. On the other hand the small deviations in some of the asteroseismology relations show that they are not only equation of state independent, but they are also quite insensitive to the gravitational theory. That is why solving the inverse problem can give us quite robust estimates of the neutron star parameters.

Close hyperbolic encounters of black holes (BHs) generate certain Burst With Memory (BWM) events in the frequency windows of the operational, planned, and proposed gravitational wave (GW) observatories. We present detailed explorations of the detectable parameter space of such events that are relevant for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) consortia. The underlying temporally evolving GW polarization states are adapted from Cho et al. [Phys. Rev. D 98, 024039 (2018)] and therefore incorporate general relativistic effects up to the third post-Newtonian order. Further, we provide a prescription to ensure the validity of our waveform family while describing close encounters. Preliminary investigations reveal that optimally placed BWM events should be visible to megaparsec distances for the existing ground-based observatories. In contrast, maturing IPTA datasets should be able to provide constraints on the occurrences of such hyperbolic encounters of supermassive BHs to gigaparsec distances.

A new class of conformal invariants for a given spacetime $M$ is introduced exploiting the conformal geometry of any light ray $\Gamma$. Each congruence of light rays passing through a given point $p$ defines the sky $S(p)$ of such point. The new conformal invariants are defined on the bundle of skies of the spacetime $M$, being called sky invariants accordingly. The natural conformal covariant derivative defined on a light ray and its associated covariant calculus allows us show the existence of a natural conformal invariant differential of arc that, together with the restriction of the curvature of the conformal covariant derivative, can be used to construct a sky invariant that will be called the sky curvature. An algorithm, that can be implemented on any symbolic manipulation software system, to compute the sky curvature will be discussed and the main ideas and the explicit computation of the sky curvature are illustrated in Schwarzschild spacetime.

Using an effective potential method we examine binary black holes where the individual holes carry spin. We trace out sequences of quasi-circular orbits and locate the innermost stable circular orbit as a function of spin. At large separations, the sequences of quasi-circular orbits match well with post-Newtonian expansions, although a clear signature of the simplifying assumption of conformal flatness is seen. The position of the ISCO is found to be strongly dependent on the magnitude of the spin on each black hole. At close separations of the holes, the effective potential method breaks down. In all cases where an ISCO could be determined, we found that an apparent horizon encompassing both holes forms for separations well inside the ISCO. Nevertheless, we argue that the formation of a common horizon is still associated with the breakdown of the effective potential method.

In this paper we propose an alternative cosmography by considering Horava-Lifshitz gravity as a model of quantum gravity to search for quantum effects at the cosmological level. For our analyses we consider current late universe surveys and a Gravitational Waves forecast from Einstein Telescope. We found naturally a non-flat scenario with $\Omega_k =-0.021^{+0.023}_{-0.029}$ with $H_0 = 71.904^{+1.406}_{-1.347}$, without showing the standard reported $3.4$-$\sigma$ inconsistency. Furthermore, we obtained a specific value for the Ho\v rava parameter $\omega \approx -3.8\times 10^{-14}$, which can be interpreted as a measure of a quantum effect and could be used to further test this quantum gravity model. We conclude that classically, according to the $\Lambda$CDM model, our universe seems to be spatially flat, but in fact, it is curved from a quantum point of view.

We present exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions in three-dimensional AdS gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field. They contain stealth configurations of the scalar field overflying the BTZ spacetime and also solutions with a non-vanishing energy-momentum tensor. The latter non-stealth class consists of the solution obtained by Xu and its analytic extension. It is shown that this proper extension represents: (i) an eternally shrinking dynamical black hole, (ii) a curious spacetime which admits an event horizon without any trapped surface, or (iii) gravitational collapse of a scalar field in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. In the last case, by attaching the solution regularly to the past massless BTZ spacetime with a vanishing scalar field, the whole spacetime represents the black-hole formation from regular initial data in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. Depending on the parameters, the formed black hole can be asymptotically static in far future.

In this case the free interface represents geodesics in the space-time, allowing the derivation of the Einstein's equations for gravitational fields. The effect of the balance equation is examined and a simple expression for cold dark matter is derived. The thermodynamically meaning of this model is also discussed.

In 5D relativity, the usual 4D cosmological constant is determined by the extra dimension. If the extra dimension is spacelike, one can get a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and a 4D de Sitter (dS) space. In this paper we present that, if the extra dimension is timelike oppositely, the negative $\Lambda$ will be emerged and the induced 4D space will be an asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS). Under the minimum assumption, we solve the Kaluza-Klein equation $R_{AB} = 0$ in a canonical system and obtain the AdS solution in a general case. The result shows that an AdS space is induced naturally from a Kaluza-Klein manifold on a hypersurface (brane). The Lagrangian of test particle indicates the equation of motion can be geodesics if the 4D metric is independent of extra dimension. The causality is well respected because it is appropriately defined by a null higher dimensional interval. In this 5D relativity, the holographic principle can be used safely because the brane is asymptotic Euclidean AdS in the bulk. We also explore some possible holographic duality implications about the field/operator correspondence and the two-points correlation functions.

Compact binaries with asymmetric mass ratios are key expected sources for next-generation gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational self-force theory has been successful in producing post-adiabatic waveforms that describe the quasi-circular inspiral around a non-spinning black hole with sub-radian accuracy, in remarkable agreement with numerical relativity simulations. Current inspiral models, however, break down at the innermost stable circular orbit, missing part of the waveform as the secondary body transitions to a plunge into the black hole. In this work we derive the transition-to-plunge expansion within a multiscale framework and asymptotically match its early-time behaviour with the late inspiral. Our multiscale formulation facilitates rapid generation of waveforms: we build second post-leading transition-to-plunge waveforms, named 2PLT waveforms. Although our numerical results are limited to low perturbative orders, our framework contains the analytic tools for building higher-order waveforms consistent with post-adiabatic inspirals, once all the necessary numerical self-force data becomes available. We validate our framework by comparing against numerical relativity simulations, surrogate models and the effective one-body approach.

The framework of the relativistic quantum mechanics on spatially flat FLRW space-times is considered for deriving the analytical solutions of the Dirac equation in different local charts of these manifolds. Systems of commuting conserved operators are used for determining the fundamental solutions as common eigenspinors giving thus physical meaning to the integration constants related to the eigenvalues of these operators. Since these systems, in general, are incomplete on the FLRW space-times there are integration constants that must be fixed by setting the vacuum either as the traditional adiabatic one or as the rest frame vacuum we proposed recently. All the known solutions of the Dirac equation on these manifolds are discussed in all details and a new type of spherical waves of given energy in the de Sitter expanding universe is reported here for the first time.

The recently proposed Skordis-Z\l{}o\'{s}nik theory is the first relativistic MOND theory that can recover the success of the standard $\Lambda$CDM model at matching observations of the cosmic microwave background. This paper aims to revisit the Newtonian and MOND approximations and the gravitational wave analysis of the theory. For the local gravitational parameters, we show that one could obtain both time-varying effective Newtonian gravitational \textit{constant} $G_\textrm{N}$ and time-varying characteristic MOND acceleration scale $a_\textrm{MOND}$, by relaxing the static assumption extensively adopted in the literature. Specially, we successfully demonstrate how to reproduce the redshift dependence of $a_\textrm{MOND}$ observed in the \textit{Magneticum} cold dark matter simulations. For the gravitational waves, we show that there are only two tensor polarizations, and reconfirm that its speed is equal to the speed of light.

A compact object moving in curved spacetime interacts with its own gravitational field. This leads to both dissipative and conservative corrections to the motion, which can be interpreted as a self-force acting on the object. The original formalism describing this self-force relied heavily on the Green function of the linear differential operator that governs gravitational perturbations. However, because the global calculation of Green functions in non-trivial black hole spacetimes has been an open problem until recently, alternative methods were established to calculate self-force effects using sophisticated regularization techniques that avoid the computation of the global Green function. We present a method for calculating the self-force that employs the global Green function and is therefore closely modeled after the original self-force expressions. Our quantitative method involves two stages: (i) numerical approximation of the retarded Green function in the background spacetime; (ii) evaluation of convolution integrals along the worldline of the object. This novel approach can be used along arbitrary worldlines, including those currently inaccessible to more established computational techniques. Furthermore, it yields geometrical insight into the contributions to self-interaction from curved geometry (back-scattering) and trapping of null geodesics. We demonstrate the method on the motion of a scalar charge in Schwarzschild spacetime. This toy model retains the physical history-dependence of the self-force but avoids gauge issues and allows us to focus on basic principles. We compute the self-field and self-force for many worldlines including accelerated circular orbits, eccentric orbits at the separatrix, and radial infall. This method, closely modeled after the original formalism, provides a promising complementary approach to the self-force problem.

A compact object moving in curved spacetime interacts with its own gravitational field. This leads to both dissipative and conservative corrections to the motion, which can be interpreted as a self-force acting on the object. The original formalism describing this self-force relied heavily on the Green function of the linear differential operator that governs gravitational perturbations. However, because the global calculation of Green functions in non-trivial black hole spacetimes has been an open problem until recently, alternative methods were established to calculate self-force effects using sophisticated regularization techniques that avoid the computation of the global Green function. We present a method for calculating the self-force that employs the global Green function and is therefore closely modeled after the original self-force expressions. Our quantitative method involves two stages: (i) numerical approximation of the retarded Green function in the background spacetime; (ii) evaluation of convolution integrals along the worldline of the object. This novel approach can be used along arbitrary worldlines, including those currently inaccessible to more established computational techniques. Furthermore, it yields geometrical insight into the contributions to self-interaction from curved geometry (back-scattering) and trapping of null geodesics. We demonstrate the method on the motion of a scalar charge in Schwarzschild spacetime. This toy model retains the physical history-dependence of the self-force but avoids gauge issues and allows us to focus on basic principles. We compute the self-field and self-force for many worldlines including accelerated circular orbits, eccentric orbits at the separatrix, and radial infall. This method, closely modeled after the original formalism, provides a promising complementary approach to the self-force problem.

We study a novel class of higher curvature gravity models in $n$ spacetime dimensions which we call Ricci polynomial gravity. The action is consisted purely of a polynomial in Ricci curvature of order $N$. In the absence of the second order terms in the action, the models are ghost free around the Minkowski vacuum. By appropriately choosing the coupling coefficients in front of each terms in the action, it is shown that the models can have multiple vacua with different effective cosmological constants, and can be made free of ghost and scalar degrees of freedom around at least one of the maximally symmetric vacua for any $n>2$ and any $N\geq 4$. We also discuss some of the physical implications of the existence of multiple vacua in the contexts of black hole physics and cosmology.

The stationary black hole solution of a Chern-Simons model based on the semi-simple extension of the Poincar\'e gauge group is studied. The solution resembles the metric properties of the BTZ geometry but contains, in addition, non-vanishing torsion. The global structure of spacetime is characterized by three conserved charges: two associated with the mass and angular momentum and one extra constant triggered by spacetime torsion. Consequently, we show that the entropy deviates from the standard Bekenstein-Hawking value and discuss the implications of torsional charges in the context of black hole thermodynamics.

We find exact formulas for the Extended Uncertainty Principle (EUP) for the Rindler and Friedmann horizons and show that they can be expanded to obtain asymptotic forms known from the previous literature. We calculate the corrections to Hawking temperature and Bekenstein entropy of a black hole in the universe due to Rindler and Friedmann horizons. The effect of the EUP is similar to the canonical corrections of thermal fluctuations and so it rises the entropy signalling further loss of information.

It has been pointed by Hall et al. [1] that matter collinations can be defined by using three different methods. But there arises the question of whether one studies matter collineations by using the ${\cal L}_\xi T_{ab}=0$, or ${\cal L}_\xi T^{ab}=0$ or ${\cal L}_\xi T_a^b=0$. These alternative conditions are, of course, not generally equivalent. This problem has been explored by applying these three definitions to general static spherically symmetric spacetimes. We compare the results with each definition.

The plunge trajectory from the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) is special (somewhat independent of initial conditions). We write an expression for its solution in closed-form and for the emitted waveform. In particular we extract an expression for the associated black-hole ringdown amplitudes, and evaluate them numerically.

We plot the different graphs and interpret them physically. We derive the {\it `cosmic-Censorship-Inequality'} for both type of black holes. Moreover, we calculate {\it the thermal heat capacity} of aforesaid black holes and study their stability in different regimes. Finally, we compute the logarithmic correction to the entropy for both the black holes considering the quantum fluctuations around the thermal equilibrium and study the corresponding thermodynamics.

We find that the $t$-$\phi$ symmetry implies the existence of a family of deformed data having the same horizon structure. This result allows us to measure how close solutions to Lichnerowicz equation are when arising from nearby free data.

In this paper, we investigate the generalized covariant entropy bound in the theory where the Einstein gravity is perturbed by the higher-order Lovelock terms. After replacing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy with the Jacobson-Myers entropy and introducing two reasonable physical assumptions, we showed that the corresponding generalized covariant entropy bound is satisfied under a higher-order approximation of the perturbation from the higher-order Lovelock terms. Our result implies that the Jacobson-Myers entropy strictly obeys the entropy bound under the perturbation level, and the generalized second law of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity is also satisfied when the Einstein gravity is perturbed by the higher-order Lovelock terms.

In this work we analyze a non--interacting one dimensional polymer Bose--Einstein condensate in an harmonic trap within the semiclassical approximation. We use an effective Hamiltonian coming from the polymer quantization that arises in loop quantum gravity. We calculate the number of particles in order to obtain the critical temperature. The Bose--Einstein functions are replaced by series, whose high order terms are related to powers of the polymer length. It is shown that the condensation temperature presents a shift respect to the standard case, for small values of the polymer scale. In typical experimental conditions, it is possible to establish a bound for $\lambda^{2}$ up to $ \lesssim 10 ^{-16}$m$^2$. To improve this bound we should decrease the frequency of the trap and also decrease the number of particles.

We present a study of the use and limits of the Time-Delay Interferometry null channels for in flight estimation of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna instrumental noise. The paper considers how the two main limiting noise sources, test-mass acceleration noise and interferometric phase measurement noise, propagate through different Time-Delay Interferometry channels: the Michelson combination X that is the most sensitive to gravitational waves, then the less-sensitive combinations $\alpha$, and finally the null channel $\zeta$. We note that the null channel $\zeta$, which is known to be equivalent to any null channel, not only has a reduced sensitivity to the gravitational waves, but also feature a larger degree of cancellation of the test mass acceleration noise relative to the interferometry noise. This severely limits its use in quantifying the low frequency instrumental noise in the Michelson X combination, which is expected to be dominated by acceleration noise. However, we show that one can still use in-flight noise estimations from $\zeta$ to put an upper bound on the considered noises entering in the X channel, which allows to distinguish them from a strong stochastic gravitational wave background.

Rastall gravity is the same as General Relativity, with a simple algebraic redefinition of what is called the energy-momentum tensor. Despite it having been very clearly explained by M. Visser several years go, there are still many papers claiming big differences between the two formulations of gravitational equations and trying to use them for problems of physics. When going this way, the totally ignored task is to explain why the conserved energy-momentum quantities and the quantities used for other purposes are different from each other. Moreover, when researchers are using the non-conserved energy density and pressure for determining the sound speed, it is just inconsistent with the Rastall gravity. I carefully explain all this, and also show how one could construct a variational principle for producing equations in the Rastall form.

We revisit the quantum cosmological constant problem and highlight the important roles played by the dS horizon of zero point energy. We argue that fields which are light enough to have dS horizon of zero point energy comparable to the FLRW Hubble radius are the main contributors to dark energy. On the other hand, the zero point energy of heavy fields develop nonlinearities on sub-Hubble scales and can not contribute to dark energy. We speculate that our proposal may provide a resolution for both the old and new cosmological constant problems by noting that there exists a field, the (lightest) neutrino, which happens to have a mass comparable to the present background photon temperature. The proposal predicts multiple transient periods of dark energy in early and late expansion history of the universe yielding to a higher value of the current Hubble expansion rate which can resolve the $H_0$ tension problem.

We give an overview of some conceptual difficulties, sometimes called paradoxes, that have puzzled for years the physical interpetation of classical canonical gravity and, by extension, the canonical formulation of generally covariant theories. We identify these difficulties as stemming form some terminological misunderstandings as to what is meant by "gauge invariance", or what is understood classically by a "physical state". We make a thorough analysis of the issue and show that all purported paradoxes disappear when the right terminology is in place. Since this issue is connected with the search of observables - gauge invariant quantities - for these theories, we formally show that time evolving observables can be constructed for every observer. This construction relies on the fixation of the gauge freedom of diffeomorphism invariance by means of a scalar coordinatization. We stress the condition that the coordinatization must be made with scalars. As an example of our method for obtaining observables we discuss the case of the massive particle in AdS spacetime.

The propagation of scalar and spinor fields in a spacetime whose metric changes signature is analyzed. Recent work of Dray et al. on particle production from signature change for a (massless) scalar field is reviewed, and an attempt is made to extend their analysis to the case of a (massless) spin-half field. In contrast to their results for a scalar field, it is shown here---for $SL(2,C)$ spinors---that although there are inequivalent forms of the Dirac equation that can be used to propagate a spinor in a signature changing spacetime, none of these forms gives rise to a conserved inner product on the space of solutions to the field equations.

In many interesting models, including superstring theories, a negative vacuum energy is predicted. Although this effect is usually regarded as undesirable from a cosmological point of view, we show that this can be the basis for a new approach to the cosmology of the early Universe. In the framework of quantum cosmology (in higher dimensions) when we consider a negative cosmological constant and matter that could be dust or, alternatively, coherent excitations of a scalar field, the role of cosmic time can be understood. Then we can predict the existence of a ``quantum inflationary phase'' for some dimensions and a simultaneous ``quantum deflationary phase'' for the remaining dimensions. We discuss how it may be possible to exit from this inflation-compactification era to a phase with zero cosmological constant which allows a classical description at late times.

The higher-curvature gravity with boundary terms i.e the $f(Q)$ theories, grounded on non-metricity as a fundamental geometric quantity, exhibit remarkable efficacy in portraying late-time universe phenomena. The aim is to delineate constraints on two prevalent models within this framework, namely the Log-square-root model and the Hyperbolic tangent-power model, by employing the framework of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). The approach involves elucidating deviations induced by higher-curvature gravity with boundary terms in the freeze-out temperature ($T_{f}$) concerning its departure from the standard $\Lambda$CDM evolution. Subsequently, constraints on pertinent model parameters are established by imposing limitations on $\vert \frac{\delta T_{f}}{T_{f}}\vert$ derived from observational bounds. This investigation employs dynamical system analysis, scrutinizing both background and perturbed equations. The study systematically explores the phase space of the models, identifying equilibrium points, evaluating their stability, and comprehending the system's trajectory around each critical point. The principal findings of this analysis reveal the presence of a matter-dominated saddle point characterized by the appropriate matter perturbation growth rate. Subsequently, this phase transitions into a stable phase of a dark-energy-dominated, accelerating universe, marked by consistent matter perturbations. Overall, the study substantiates observational confrontations, affirming the potential of higher-curvature gravity with boundary terms as a promising alternative to the $\Lambda$CDM concordance model. The methodological approach underscores the significance of dynamical systems as an independent means to validate and comprehend the cosmological implications of these theories.

The displacement fluctuations of mirrors in optomechanical devices, induced via thermal expansion by temperature fluctuations due either to thermodynamic fluctuations or to fluctuations in the photon absorption, can be made smaller than quantum fluctuations, at the low temperatures, high reflectivities and high light powers needed to readout displacements at the standard quantum limit. The result is relevant for the design of quantum limited gravitational-wave detectors, both "interferometers" and "bars", and for experiments to study directly mechanical motion in the quantum regime.

Canonical gravity in real Ashtekar-Barbero variables is generalized to allow for fermionic matter. The resulting torsion changes several expressions in Holst's original vacuum analysis, which are summarized here. This in turn requires adaptations to the known loop quantization of gravity coupled to fermions, which is discussed on the basis of the classical analysis. As a result, parity invariance is not manifestly realized in loop quantum gravity.

We then analyzed the behavior and stability of each model for the entire stages of the evolution of the universe by studying several important parameters such as the deceleration parameter, equation of state (EoS) parameter $\omega_{DE}$, square of the speed of sound $v_s^2$. Apart from this, we have studied the cosmographic behavior by plotting the jerk parameter, snap parameter, and lerk parameter against the redshift. We have also examined the $\omega'_{DE}-\omega_{DE}$ phase plane and $(r,s^*)$, $(r,q)$ statefinder parameters that provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the universe and the distinctive features of the dark energy. All these analyses pointed out that our model can produce a universe going through an accelerated expansion with the quintessence type dark energy.

The propagation of gravitational waves offers new possibilities for testing the theory of gravity. Amongst these possibilities there is the luminosity distance of gravitational waves, $d_{gw}$. It has been proposed to study this property by means of phenomenological parametrizations, which in this work we confront to the actual predictions of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, finding that the simplest parametrization performs better. We propose a novel parametrization that covers a wider range of models, in particular, within degenerate higher order scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Also, regarding model selection from best-fit parameters, we find that even quantities derived from $d_{gw}$ can lead to inconsistent model selection if they are treated independently. This highlights that it is essential to perform simultaneous analysis and include other types of data. We expect our findings to be relevant for future constraints on modified gravity based on the properties of standard sirens.

Such an assumption implies among others that the evolution of the Universe is irreversible and violates the time reversal symmetry. We show that if to replace the cosmological time $t$ appearing in the equation describing the evolution of the Universe by the Hubble cosmological scale time, then we obtain time dependent $\Lambda (t)$ in the form of the series of even powers of the Hubble parameter $H$: $\Lambda (t) = \Lambda (H)$.

We find an exact, rotating charged black hole solution within Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. To this end we employ a recently developed correspondence or {\it mapping} between modified gravity models built as scalars out of contractions of the metric with the Ricci tensor, and formulated in metric-affine spaces (Ricci-Based Gravity theories) and General Relativity. This way, starting from the Kerr-Newman solution, we show that this mapping bring us the axisymmetric solutions of Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity coupled to a certain model of non-linear electrodynamics. We discuss the most relevant physical features of the solutions obtained this way, both in the spherically symmetric limit and in the fully rotating regime. Moreover, we further elaborate on the potential impact of this important technical progress for bringing closer the predictions of modified gravity with the astrophysical observations of compact objects and gravitational wave astronomy.

The goal of our current research is to investigate the AdS black hole's thermodynamics under the impact of $f(Q)$ gravity. Additionally, this paper explores the black hole's local stability and phase structure under the relevant gravity. Besides, we use Ruppeiner geometry to look into the AdS black hole's microscopic structure. We have numerically computed the Ricci curvature scalar $R$ to explain the interactions between the AdS black hole's microscopic particles under the influence of $f(Q)$ gravity.

In order to examine the gravitational waves emitted from the neutron stars in the tensor-vector-scalar (TeVeS) theory, we derive the perturbation equations for relativistic stars, where for simplicity we omit the perturbations of vector field. That is, we consider the perturbations of scalar and tensor fields. With this assumption, we find that the axial gravitational waves, which are corresponding to the oscillations of spacetime ($w$ modes), are independent from the perturbations of scalar field and the effects of scalar field can be mounted only via the background properties. Using two different equations of state, we calculate the complex eigenfrequencies of axial $w$ modes and find that the dependences of frequencies on the stellar compactness are almost independent from the adopted equation of state and the parameter in TeVeS. Additionally, these dependences of frequencies of axial $w$ modes in TeVeS is obviously different from those expected in the general relativity. Thus the direct observations of gravitational waves could reveal the gravitational theory in the strong-field regime.

We studied the instability of the regularized 4D charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet de-Sitter black holes under charged scalar perturbations. The unstable modes satisfy the superradiant condition, but not all modes satisfying the superradiant condition are unstable. The instability occurs when the cosmological constant is small and the black hole charge is not too large. The Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant makes the unstable black hole more unstable when both the black hole charge and cosmological constant are small, and makes the stable black hole more stable when the black hole charge is large.

We studied the instability of the regularized 4D charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet de-Sitter black holes under charged scalar perturbations. The unstable modes satisfy the superradiant condition, but not all modes satisfying the superradiant condition are unstable. The instability occurs when the cosmological constant is small and the black hole charge is not too large. The Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant makes the unstable black hole more unstable when both the black hole charge and cosmological constant are small, and makes the stable black hole more stable when the black hole charge is large.

We present a rigorous regularization of Rovellis's generalized projection operator in canonical 2+1 gravity. This work establishes a clear-cut connection between loop quantum gravity and the spin foam approach in this simplified setting. The point of view adopted here provides a new perspective to tackle the problem of dynamics in the physically relevant 3+1 case.

We generalize the $f(R)$ type gravity models by assuming that the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and of the matter Lagrangian $L_m$. We obtain the gravitational field equations in the metric formalism, as well as the equations of motion for test particles, which follow from the covariant divergence of the energy-momentum tensor. The equations of motion for test particles can also be derived from a variational principle in the particular case in which the Lagrangian density of the matter is an arbitrary function of the energy-density of the matter only. Generally, the motion is non-geodesic, and takes place in the presence of an extra force orthogonal to the four-velocity. The Newtonian limit of the equation of motion is also considered, and a procedure for obtaining the energy-momentum tensor of the matter is presented. The gravitational field equations and the equations of motion for a particular model in which the action of the gravitational field has an exponential dependence on the standard general relativistic Hilbert--Einstein Lagrange density are also derived.

We develop a modified CCZ4 formulation of the Einstein equations in $d+1$ spacetime dimensions for general relativity plus a Gauss-Bonnet term, as well as for the most general parity-invariant scalar-tensor theory of gravity up to four derivatives. We demonstrate well-posedness for both theories and provide full expressions for their implementation in numerical relativity codes. As a proof of concept, we study the so-called ``stealth-scalarisation'' induced by the spin of the remnant black hole after merger. As in previous studies using alternative gauges we find that the scalarisation occurs too late after merger to impact on the tensor waveform, unless the parameters are finely tuned. Naively increasing the coupling to accelerate the growth of the scalar field risks a breakdown of the effective field theory, and therefore well-posedness, as the evolution is pushed into the strongly coupled regime. Observation of such an effect would therefore rely on the detection of the scalar radiation that is produced during scalarisation. This work provides a basis on which further studies can be undertaken using codes that employ a moving-punctures approach to managing singularities in the numerical domain. It is therefore an important step forward in our ability to analyse modifications of general relativity in gravitational wave observations.

The dependence of the skyrmion field configuration on the cosmological constant is examined. The stability is investigated in detail by solving the linearly perturbed equation numerically.

Static observers remain on Killing-vector world lines and measure the rest-mass+kinetic energies of particles moving past them, and the flux of that mechanical energy through space and time. The total mechanical energy is the total flux through a spacelike cut at one time. The difference between the total mass-energy and the total mechanical energy is the total gravitational energy, which we prove to be negative for certain classes of systems. For spherical systems, Misner, Thorne and Wheeler define the total gravitational energy this way. To obtain the gravitational energy density analogous to that of electromagnetism we first use Einstein's equations with integrations by parts to remove second order derivatives. Next we apply a conformal transformation to reexpress the scalar 3-curvature of the 3-space. The resulting density is non-local. We repeat the argument for mechanical energies as measured by stationary observers moving orthogonally to constant time slices like the "zero angular momentum" observers of Bardeen who exist even within ergospheres.

In this paper we investigate large non-gaussianity in axion N-flation models, taking account while dynamically a large number of axions begin away from the hilltop region(come down from the hill) and so serve only to be the source of the Hubble rate. Therefore the single field stays closest to the hilltop sources the non-Gaussianity. In this case most of axions can be replaced by a single effective field with a quadratic potential. So our potential will contain two fields. The full cosine is responsible for the axion closest to hilltop and quadratic term which is a source for Hubble rate [4]. We obtain power spectrum, spectral index and non-gaussianity parameter, then we impose conditions from WMAP for power spectrum and spectral index and see how large on non-gaussianity parameter it is possible to achieve with such conditions. Finally we swap quadratic term to {\lambda}{\phi}^4 and see whether this makes it harder or easier to achieve large non-gaussianity.We find large non-gaussianity is achievable by imposing data from WMAP conditional on axion decay constant f has reasonable value in connection with Planck mass and by requiring number of e-folds must be bounded between 40-60.When we swap to {\lambda}{\phi}^4 we find that it is harder to achieve non-Gaussianity, because we are imposed to investigate only {\lambda}{\phi}^4 domination in consistency with WMAP data for spectral index. Although, in this case we find that large non-gaussianity is still achievable. Finally we verify imposing the condition for spectral index to be nearly one and find acceptable and detectable value for non-gaussianity typically of order of 10 and 100 depending on value of decay constant f.Swapping to {\lambda}{\phi}^4 in this case does not give us any significant relation. In this paper we consider models which can generate large non-gaussianity. We restrict ourselves to axion N-flation models.

We study the background conditions for a bounce uniquely driven by a single scalar field model with a generalized kinetic term $K(X)$, without any additional matter field. At the background level we impose the existence of two turning points where the derivative of the Hubble parameter $H$ changes sign and of a bounce point where the Hubble parameter vanishes. We find the conditions for $K(X)$ and the potential which ensure the above requirements. We then give the examples of two models constructed according to these conditions. One is based on a quadratic $K(X)$, and the other a $K(X)$ which is avoiding divergences of the second time derivative of the scalar field, which may otherwise occur. An appropriate choice of the initial conditions can lead to a sequence of consecutive bounces, or oscillations of $H$. In the region where these models have a constant potential they are adiabatic on any scale and because of this they may not conserve curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales. While at the perturbation level one class of models is free from ghosts and singularities of the classical equations of motion, in general gradient instabilities are present around the bounce time, because the sign of the squared speed of sound is opposite to the sign of the time derivative of $H$. We discuss how this kind of instabilities could be avoided by modifying the Lagrangian by introducing Galileion terms in order to prevent a negative squared speed of sound around the bounce.

The spectrum is characterized by two distinct families of asymptotic resonances. We suggest and demonstrate the according to Bohr's correspondence principle and in agreement with the Bekenstein-Mukhanov quantization scheme, one of these resonances corresponds to a fundamental change of Delta A=4hbar ln2 in the surface area of the black-hole outer horizon. The second asymptotic resonance is associated with a fundamental change of Delta Atot=4hbar ln3 in the total area of the black hole (in the sum of the surface areas of the inner and outer horizons), in accordance with a suggestion of Makela and Repo.

As we show, if acceleration is imposed in one frame, it will not necessarily correspond to an accelerating metric when transformed in another frame. As we will demonstrate, this issue is model and frame-dependent but it seems there is no general scheme which permits to classify such cases.

Recently there has been a proposal for modified gravitational f(R) actions which include a direct coupling between the matter action and the Ricci scalar, R. Of particular interest is the specific case where both the action and the coupling are linear in R. It is shown that such an action leads to a theory of gravity which includes higher order derivatives of the matter fields without introducing more dynamics in the gravity sector and, therefore, cannot be a viable theory for gravitation.

We feed a black hole on a self-gravitating radiation and observe what happens during the process. Considering a spherical shell of radiation, we show that the contribution of self-gravity makes the thermodynamic interaction through the bottom of the shell be distinguished from thermodynamic interaction through its top. The growth of a black hole horizon appears to be a sudden jump rather than a sequential increase. We additionally show that much of the entropy will be absorbed into the black hole only at the last moment of the collapse.

We feed a black hole on a self-gravitating radiation and observe what happens during the process. Considering a spherical shell of radiation, we show that the contribution of self-gravity makes the thermodynamic interaction through the bottom of the shell be distinguished from thermodynamic interaction through its top. The growth of a black hole horizon appears to be a sudden jump rather than a sequential increase. We additionally show that much of the entropy will be absorbed into the black hole only at the last moment of the collapse.

Recent work on canonical transformations in quantum mechanics is applied to transform between the Moncrief metric formulation and the Witten-Carlip holonomy formulation of 2+1-dimensional quantum gravity on the torus. A non-polynomial factor ordering of the classical canonical transformation between the metric and holonomy variables is constructed which preserves their classical modular transformation properties. An extension of the definition of a unitary transformation is briefly discussed and is used to find the inner product in the holonomy variables which makes the canonical transformation unitary. This defines the Hilbert space in the Witten-Carlip formulation which is unitarily equivalent to the natural Hilbert space in the Moncrief formulation. In addition, gravitational theta-states arising from ``large'' diffeomorphisms are found in the theory.

The quasinormal resonant modes of massless neutral fields in near-extremal Kerr-Newman-de Sitter black-hole spacetimes are calculated in the eikonal regime. It is explicitly proved that, in the angular momentum regime ${\bar a}> \sqrt{{{1-2{\bar\Lambda}}\over{4+{\bar\Lambda}/3}}}$, the black-hole spacetimes are characterized by slowly decaying resonant modes which are described by the compact formula $\Im\omega(n)=\kappa_+\cdot(n+{1\over2})$ [here the physical parameters $\{{\bar a},\kappa_+,{\bar\Lambda},n\}$ are respectively the dimensionless angular momentum of the black hole, its characteristic surface gravity, the dimensionless cosmological constant of the spacetime, and the integer resonance parameter]. Our results support the validity of the Penrose strong cosmic censorship conjecture in these black-hole spacetimes.

Herein we explore the non-equatorial constant-$r$ ("quasi-circular") geodesics (both timelike and null) in the Painleve-Gullstrand variant of the Lense-Thirring spacetime recently introduced by the current authors. Even though the spacetime is not spherically symmetric, shells of constant-$r$ geodesics still exist. Whereas the radial motion is (by construction) utterly trivial, determining the allowed locations of these constant-$r$ geodesics is decidedly non-trivial, and the stability analysis is equally tricky. Regarding the angular motion, these constant-$r$ orbits will be seen to exhibit both precession and nutation -- typically with incommensurate frequencies. Thus this constant-$r$ geodesic motion, though integrable in the precise technical sense, is generically surface-filling, with the orbits completely covering a symmetric equatorial band which is a segment of a spherical surface, (a so-called "spherical zone"), and whose latitudinal extent is governed by delicate interplay between the orbital angular momentum and the Carter constant. The situation is qualitatively similar to that for the (exact) Kerr spacetime -- but we now see that any physical model having the same slow-rotation weak-field limit as general relativity will still possess non-equatorial constant-$r$ geodesics.

Some of the possible consequences of a generalized uncertainty principle (which emerges in the context of string theory and quantum gravity models as a consequence of fluctuations of the background metric) are analyzed considering the case of a quantum particle immersed in a homogeneous gravitational field. It will be shown that the expectation value of the momentum operator depends in a novel way on the mass of the involved particle. This kind of physical characteristics could be, in principle, detected. In other words, one way of confronting against the experiment some of the models around quantum gravity is given by the detection of the dependence upon the mass parameter of the expectation value of the momentum operator.

We analyze, in the paradigm of open quantum systems, the reduced dynamics of a freely-falling two-level detector in de Sitter space-time in weak interaction with a reservoir of fluctuating quantized conformal scalar fields in the de Sitter invariant vacuum. We find that the detector is asymptotically driven to a thermal state at the Gibbons-Hawking temperature, regardless of its initial state. Our discussion therefore shows that the Gibbons-Hawking effect of de Sitter space-time can be understood as a manifestation of thermalization phenomena that involves decoherence and dissipation in open quantum systems.

In this paper, we deal with the null geodesics extending from the near-horizon region out to a distant observatory in an extremal Kerr-Newman black hole background. In particular, using the matched asymptotic expansion method, we analytically solve the null geodesics near the superradiant bound in the form of algebraic equations. For the case that the photon trajectories are limited in the equatorial plane, the shifts in the azimuthal angle and time are obtained.

The formalization of the modular energy operator within the curved spacetime is achieved through the timeless approach proposed by Page and Wootters. The investigation is motivated by the peculiar behavior of the near horizon region of a black hole and its quantum effects, leading to a restriction of the study to the immediate vicinity. The focus lies on the perspective of a static observer positioned close to the horizon. This paper highlights the alteration of the modular energy's behavior in this region compared to flat spacetime. Furthermore, it is observed that the geometry of the spacetime influences the non-local properties of the modular energy. Moreover, within the event horizon of the black hole, the modular energy exhibits a completely distinct behavior, rendering its modular behavior imperceptible in this specific region.

For a static, perfect fluid sphere with a general equation of state, we obtain the relativistic equation of hydrostatic equilibrium, namely the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equation, as the thermodynamical equilibrium in the microcanonical, as well as the canonical, ensemble. We find that the stability condition determined by the second variation of entropy coincides with the dynamical stability condition derived by variations to first order in the dynamical Einstein's equations. Thus, we show the equivalence of microcanonical thermodynamical stability with linear dynamical stability for a static, spherically symmetric field in General Relativity. We calculate the Newtonian limit and find the interesting property, that the microcanonical ensemble in General Relativity transforms to the canonical ensemble for non-relativistic dust particles. Finally, for specific kinds of systems, we study the effect of the cosmological constant to the microcanonical thermodynamical stability of fluid spheres.

We examine potential deformations of inner black hole and cosmological horizons in Reissner-Nordstr\"om de-Sitter spacetimes. While the rigidity of the outer black hole horizon is guaranteed by theorem, that theorem applies to neither the inner black hole nor past cosmological horizon. Further for pure deSitter spacetime it is clear that the cosmological horizon can be deformed (by translation). For specific parameter choices, it is shown that both inner black hole and cosmological horizons can be infinitesimally deformed. However these do not extend to finite deformations. The corresponding results for general spherically symmetric spacetimes are considered.

We present some novel rotating hairy black hole metric in $(2+1)$ dimensions, which is an exact solution to the field equations of the Einstein-scalar-AdS theory with a non-minimal coupling. The scalar potential is determined by the metric ansatz and consistency of the field equations and cannot be prescribed arbitrarily. In the simplified, critical case, the scalar potential contains two independent constant parameters, which are respectively related to the mass and angular momentum of the black hole in a particular way. As long as the angular momentum does not vanish, the metric can have zero, one or two horizons. The case with no horizon is physically uninteresting because of the curvature singularity lying at the origin. We identified the necessary conditions for at least one horizon to be present in the solution, which imposes some bound on the mass-angular momentum ratio. For some particular choice of parameters our solution degenerates into some previously known black hole solutions.

A numerical study of the Einstein field equations, based on the 3+1 foliation of the spacetime, is presented. A pseudo-spectral technique has been employed for simulations in vacuum, within two different formalisms, namely the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) and the conformal Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) approach. The numerical code is based on the Fourier decomposition, accompanied by different filtering techniques. The role of the dealiasing, as well as the influence of the filter type, has been investigated. The algorithms have been stabilized via a novel procedure that controls self-consistently the regularity of the solutions. The accuracy of the model has been validated through standard testbeds, revealing that the filtered pseudo-spectral technique is among the most accurate approaches. Finally, the procedure has been stressed via black hole dynamics and a new strategy, based on hyperviscous dissipation that suppresses spurious boundary problems, has been proposed. The model represents a valid tool of investigation, particularly suitable for the inspection of small scale nonlinear phenomena in gravitational dynamics.

The occurrence of singularities where spacetime curvature becomes infinite and geodesic evolution breaks down are inevitable events in classical general relativity (GR) unless one chooses an exotic matter violating weak energy condition. These singularities show up in various physical processes, such as the gravitational collapse, the birth of the universe in the standard cosmology as well as the classical solutions of the black hole spacetimes. In the last two decades, a rigorous understanding of the dynamics of quantum spacetime and the way it resolves singularities has been achieved in loop quantum cosmology (LQC) which applies the concepts and techniques of loop quantum gravity to the symmetry reduced cosmological spacetimes. Due to the fundamental discreteness of quantum geometry derived from the quantum theory, the big bang singularity has been robustly shown to be replaced by a big bounce. Strong curvature singularities intrinsic in the classical cosmology are generically resolved for a variety of cosmological spacetimes including anisotropic models and polarized Gowdy models. Using effective spacetime description the LQC universe also provides an ultra-violet complete description of the classical inflationary scenario as well as its alternatives such as the ekpyrotic and matter bounce scenarios. In this chapter we provide a summary of singularity resolution and its physical implications for various isotropic and anisotropic cosmological spacetimes in LQC and analyze robustness of results through variant models originating from different quantization prescriptions.

In the present work, the gravitational field of a vacuum less global monopole has been investigated in Brans-Dicke theory under weak field assumption of the field equations. It has been shown that the vacuum less global monopole exerts attractive gravitational effects on a test particle. It is dissimilar to the case studied in general relativity.

We consider a particle moving towards a rotating black hole. We are interested in the number of its revolution $n$ around a black hole. In our previous work (Pavlov and Zaslavskii in Gen Relativ Gravit 50: 14, 2018. arXiv:1707.02860) we considered this issue in the Boyer-Lindquist type of coordinates with a subsequent procedure of subtraction. Now, we reconsider this issue using from the very beginning the frames regular on the horizon. For a nonextremal black hole, regularity of a coordinate frame leads to the finiteness of a number of revolutions around a black hole without a subtraction procedure. Meanwhile, for extremal black holes comparison of $n$ calculated in the regular frame with some subtraction procedures used by us earlier shows that the results can be different.

GR can be interpreted as a theory of evolving 3-geometries. A recent such formulation, the 3-space approach of Barbour, Foster and \'{O} Murchadha, also permits the construction of a limited number of other theories of evolving 3-geometries, including conformal gravity and strong gravity. In this paper, we use the 3-space approach to construct a 1-parameter family of theories which generalize strong gravity. The usual strong gravity is the strong-coupled limit of GR, which is appropriate near singularities and is one of very few regimes of GR which is amenable to quantization. Our new strong gravity theories are similar limits of scalar-tensor theories such as Brans--Dicke theory, and are likewise appropriate near singularities. They represent an extension of the regime amenable to quantization, which furthermore spans two qualitatively different types of inner product. We find that strong gravity theories permit coupling only to ultralocal matter fields and that they prevent gauge theory. Thus in the classical picture, gauge theory breaks down (rather than undergoing unification) as one approaches the GR initial singularity.

Previously the linearized stress tensor of a stationary Kerr black hole has been used to determine some of the values of gravitational couplings for a spinning black hole to linear order in the Riemann tensor in the action (worldline or quantum field theory). In particular, the couplings on operators containing derivative structures of the form $(S\cdot\nabla)^n$ acting on the Riemann tensor were fixed, with $S^\mu$ the spin vector of the black hole. In this paper we find that the Kerr solution determines all of the multipole moments in the sense of Dixon of a stationary spinning black hole and that these multipole moments determine all linear in $R$ couplings. For example, additional couplings beyond the previously mentioned are fixed on operators containing derivative structures of the form $S^{2n}(p\cdot\nabla)^{2n}$ acting on the Riemann tensor with $p^\mu$ the momentum vector of the black hole. These additional operators do not contribute to the three-point amplitude, and so do no contribute to the linearized stress tensor for a stationary black hole. However, we find that they do contribute to the Compton amplitude. Additionally, we derive formal expressions for the electromagnetic and gravitational Compton amplitudes of generic spinning bodies to all orders in spin in the worldline formalism and evaluated expressions for these amplitudes to order $S^3$ in electromagnetism and order $S^5$ in gravity.
