The Einstein-Maxwell-scalar (EMS) theory with a quartic coupling function features three branches of fundamental black hole (BH) solutions, labeled as cold, hot, and bald black holes. The static bald black holes (the Reissner-Nordstr\"om BH) exhibit an intriguing nonlinear instability beyond the spontaneous scalarization. We study the rotating scalarized black hole solutions in the EMS model with a quartic coupling function through the spectral method numerically. The domain of existence for the scalarized BHs is presented in the spin-charge region. We found that the rotating solutions for both the two scalarized branches possess similar thermodynamic behavior compared to the static case while varying the electric charge. The BH spin enlarges the thermodynamic differences between the cold and hot branches. The profile of the metric function and the scalar field for the scalarized BHs is depicted, which demonstrates that the scalar field concentrates more on the equatorial plane in contrast to the axisymmetric region as the spin increases.

We propose a general framework for quantum field theory on the de Sitter space-time (i.e. for local field theories whose truncated Wightman functions are not required to vanish). By requiring that the fields satisfy a weak spectral condition, formulated in terms of the analytic continuation properties of their Wightman functions, we show that a geodesical observer will detect in the corresponding ``vacuum'' a blackbody radiation at temperature T=1/(2 \pi R). We also prove the analogues of the PCT, Reeh-Schlieder and Bisognano-Wichmann theorems.

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) glitch group is part of the LIGO detector characterization effort. It consists of data analysts and detector experts who, during and after science runs, collaborate for a better understanding of noise transients in the detectors. Goals of the glitch group during the fifth LIGO science run (S5) included (1) offline assessment of the detector data quality, with focus on noise transients, (2) veto recommendations for astrophysical analysis and (3) feedback to the commissioning team on anomalies seen in gravitational wave and auxiliary data channels. Other activities included the study of auto-correlation of triggers from burst searches, stationarity of the detector noise and veto studies. The group identified causes for several noise transients that triggered false alarms in the gravitational wave searches; the times of such transients were identified and vetoed from the data generating the LSC astrophysical results.

In this essay we offer a comprehensible overview of the gravitational aether scenario. This is a possible extension of Einstein's theory of relativity to the quantum regime via an effective approach. Quantization of gravity usually faces several issues including an unexpected high vacuum energy density caused by quantum fluctuations. The model presented in this paper offers a solution to the so-called cosmological constant problems. As its name suggests, the gravitational aether introduces preferred reference frames, while it remains compatible with the general theory of relativity. As a rare feature among quantum gravity inspired theories, it can predict measurable astronomical and cosmological effects. Observational data disfavor the gravitational aether scenario at $2.6\text{-}5\,\sigma$. This experimental feedback gives rise to possible refinements of the theory.

Recently, using Bayesian Machine Learning, a deviation from the cold dark matter model on cosmological scales has been put forward. Such model might replace a proposed non-gravitational interaction between dark energy and dark matter, and help solve the $H_{0}$ tension problem. The idea behind the learning procedure relied there on a generated expansion rate, while the real expansion rate was just used to validate the learned results. In the present work, however, the emphasis is put on a Gaussian Process (GP) with the available $H(z)$ data confirming the possible existence of the already learned deviation. Three cosmological scenarios are considered: a simple one, with equation of state parameter for dark matter $\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} \neq 0$, and two other models, with corresponding parameters $\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} + \omega_{1} z$ and $\omega_{dm} = \omega_{0} + \omega_{1} z/(1+z)$. The constraints obtained on the free parameters $\omega_{0}$ and $\omega_{1}$ hint towards a dynamical nature of the deviation. The dark energy dynamics is also reconstructed, revealing interesting aspects connected with the $H_{0}$ tension problem. It is concluded, however, that improved tools and more data are needed, in order to reach a better understanding of the reported deviation.

If we consider the spacetime manifold as product of a constant curvature 2-sphere (hypersphere) and a 2-space, then solution of the Einstein equation requires that the latter must also be of constant curvature. There exist only two solutions for classical matter distribution which are given by the Nariai (anti) metric describing an Einstein space and the Bertotti - Robinson (anti) metric describing a uniform electric field. These two solutions are transformable into each other by letting the timelike convergence density change sign. The hyperspherical solution is anti of the spherical one and the vice -versa. For non classical matter, we however find a new solution, which is electrograv dual to the flat space, and describes a cloud of string dust of uniform energy density. We also discuss some interesting features of the particle motion in the Bertotti - Robinson metric.

An important issue in the dynamics of neutron star binaries is whether tidal interaction can cause the individual stars to collapse into black holes during inspiral. To understand this issue better, we study the dynamics of a cluster of collisionless particles orbiting a non-rotating black hole, which is part of a widely separated circular binary. The companion body's electric- and magnetic-type tidal fields distort the black hole and perturb the cluster, eventually causing the cluster to collapse into the hole as the companion spirals in under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. We find that magnetic-type tidal forces do not significantly influence the evolution of the cluster as a whole. However, individual orbits can be strongly affected by these forces. For example, some orbits are destabilized due to the addition of magnetic-type tidal forces. We find that the most stable orbits are close to the companion's orbital plane and retrograde with respect to the companion's orbit.

Gravitational perturbations in a Kerr black hole background can not be decomposed into simple tensor harmonics in the time domain. Here, we make the mode decomposition only in the azimuthal direction and discuss the resulting (2+1)-dimensional Klein-Gordon differential equation for scalar perturbations with a two dimensional Dirac's $\delta$-function as a source representing a point particle orbiting a much larger black hole. To make this equation amenable for numerical integrations we explicitly remove analytically the singular behavior of the source and compute a global effective source for the corresponding waveform.

It provides a fast and versatile tool which has proven to be very useful during the design and the commissioning of gravitational-wave detectors. The basic algorithm of FINESSE numerically computes the light amplitudes inside an interferometer using Hermite-Gauss modes in the frequency domain. In addition, FINESSE provides a number of commands to easily generate and plot the most common signals like, for example, power enhancement, error or control signals, transfer functions and shot-noise-limited sensitivities. Among the various simulation tools available to the gravitational wave community today, FINESSE is the most advanced general optical simulation that uses the frequency domain.

We discuss the quantization of an unstable field through the construction of a "one-particle Hilbert space." The system considered here is a neutral scalar field evolving over a globally hyperbolic static spacetime and subject to a stationary external scalar potential. In order to prove our results we assume spacetimes without horizons and that the theory possess a "mass gap." Our strategy consists in building a complex structure, which arises from a suitable positive bilinear form defined over the space of classical solutions of the field equation. Once the space of states of the quantum field has been set, it is possible to study the effect of the time translation symmetry on it. From the time translation operator we obtain an expression for the Hamiltonian operator associated with the unstable sector of the field. This last result coincides with findings from long ago showing that the unstable degrees of freedom of the field behave as non-relativistic particles in a parabolic potential barrier.

Holographic model is originated from Holographic principle. The equation of state in Holographic model and Einstein's gravity with particle horizon can be obtained as wD>-1/3 and cannot justify the expansion acceleration of the Universe. But, by using the event horizon, this model can result in the accelerating expansion in Einstein's gravity and Brans-Dicke cosmology. In this context, we study the holographic model with apparent horizon satisfying the acceleration expansion. We shall see, in the presence of interaction, phase change and transition from decelerated state to accelerated state is possible. This shows the sign of deceleration parameter.

We construct, for the first time, charged rotating black string solutions in four-dimensional Einsteinian cubic gravity, which are asymptotically anti de Sitter. By assuming that the solutions are completely regular at the horizon and studying their near-horizon behavior, we find some thermodynamic properties, which can be accessed analytically. We compute independently the Hawking temperature, the Wald entropy, the mass, the angular momentum, the charge, and the electrostatic potential of the solutions, analytically. Using these, we show that the first law of thermodynamics for rotating black strings is exactly satisfied in both charged and uncharged cases. We also observe that, in the absence of Maxwell field, some of the solutions have positive specific heat, which makes them thermodynamically stable.

By assuming that the solutions are completely regular at the horizon and studying their near-horizon behavior, we find some thermodynamic properties, which can be accessed analytically. We compute independently the Hawking temperature, the Wald entropy, the mass, the angular momentum, the charge, and the electrostatic potential of the solutions, analytically. Using these, we show that the first law of thermodynamics for rotating black strings is exactly satisfied in both charged and uncharged cases. We also observe that, in the absence of Maxwell field, some of the solutions have positive specific heat, which makes them thermodynamically stable.

Recently tachyonic field has been depicted as dark energy model to represent the present acceleration of the Universe. In this paper we have considered mixture of tachyonic fluid with a perfect fluid. For this purpose we have considered barotropic fluid and Generalized Chaplygin gas(G.C.G.). We have considered a particular form of the scale factor. We have solved the equations of motion to get the exact solutions of the density, tachyonic potential and the tachyonic field. We have introduced a coupling term to show that the interaction decays with time. Also we have shown that the nature of the potentials vary so as the interaction term reduces the potential in both the cases.

We investigate the prospect of probing massive fields and testing gravitational theories with multi-band observations of gravitational waves emitted from coalescing compact binaries. Focusing on the dipole radiation induced by a massive field, we show that multi-band observations can probe the field with mass ranging from $10^{-16}$ eV to $10^{-15}$ eV, a parameter space that cannot be probed by the milli-Hertz band observations alone. Multi-band observations can also improve the constraints obtained with the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA binaries by up to 3 orders of magnitude in the mass range. Moreover, we show that multi-band observations can discriminate the spin of the field, which cannot be identified with single-band observations.

We consider Lorentz invariant scalar-tensor teleparallel gravity theories with a Lagrangian built from the torsion scalar, a scalar field, its kinetic term and a derivative coupling between the torsion and the scalar field. The field equations of the theory are derived and the relation between the spin connection and the antisymmetric part of the tetrad field equations is found explicitly, which is an important consistency result for Lorentz invariant teleparallel theories of gravity. Afterwards we study the behaviour of this class of theories under conformal transformations and find that such transformations map different theories in this class onto each other.

The gravitational waves (GWs) has been a topic of interest for its versatile capabilities of probing several aspects of cosmology and early Universe. Gravitational lensing enhances further the extent of this sort of waves and upgrade our understanding to a next level. Besides several similarities with optical waves, GWs are capable of passing through optically opaque celestial objects like stars, exoplanets unlike light waves and manifest a different kind of lensing effect. In this work we have explored the lensing action of compact objects on gravitational waves using numerical means. After modeling the internal mass distribution of the compact objects by TOV equations and tracing wavefronts using geodesic equations, we have found that the GWs are indeed lensed in a manner analogous to the optical lensing of light in presence of a thick optical lens by producing spherical aberration in the focused waves. The distance to the best focused point shows significant dependence with the mass and radius of the lensing star and unlike gravitational lensing, the region inside and outside compact objects responds differently to the incoming waves.

We study covariant entropy bounds in dynamical spacetimes with naked singularities. Specifically we study a spherically symmetric massless scalar field solution. The solution is an inhomogeneous cosmology with an initial spacelike singularity, and a naked timelike singularity at the origin. We construct the entropy flux 4-vector for the scalar field, and show by explicit computation that the generalized covariant bound $S_{L(B,B')}\le (A(B)-A(B'))/4 $ is violated for light sheets $L(B,B')$ in the neighbourhood of the (evolving) apparent horizon. We find no violations of the Bousso bound (for which $A(B')=0$), even though certain sufficient conditions for this bound do not hold. This result therefore shows that these conditions are not necessary.

We show that modifications to the effective semi-classical equations of motion arise both in the gravitational part of the constraint as well as matter terms. The modifications are important for phenomenological investigations of the cosmological imprints of loop quantum cosmology. We discuss the implications for the early universe evolution.

In axial symmetry, there is a gauge for Einstein equations such that the total mass of the spacetime can be written as a conserved, positive definite, integral on the spacelike slices. This property is expected to play an important role in the global evolution. In this gauge the equations reduce to a coupled hyperbolic-elliptic system which is formally singular at the axis. Due to the rather peculiar properties of the system, the local in time existence has proved to resist analysis by standard methods. To analyze the principal part of the equations, which may represent the main source of the difficulties, we study linear perturbation around the flat Minkowski solution in this gauge. In this article we solve this linearized system explicitly in terms of integral transformations in a remarkable simple form. This representation is well suited to obtain useful estimates to apply in the non-linear case.

We introduce a pregeometry that provides a metric and dimensionality over a Borel set (Wheeler's "bucket of dust") without assuming probability amplitudes for adjacency. Rather, a non-trivial metric is produced over a Borel set X per a uniformity base generated via the discrete topological group structures over X. We show that entourage multiplication in this uniformity base mirrors the underlying group structure. One may exploit this fact to create an entourage sequence of maximal length whence a fine metric structure. Unlike the statistical approaches of graph theory, this method can suggest dimensionality over low-order sets. An example over Z2 x Z4 produces 3-dimensional polyhedra embedded in E4.

An intrinsic time in Geometrodynamics is obtained with using a scaled Dirac's mapping. By addition of a background metric, one can construct a scalar field. It is suitable to play a role of intrinsic time. Cauchy problem was successfully solved in conformal variables because they are physical ones. First, the intrinsic time as a logarithm of determinant of spatial metric, was applied to a cosmological problem by Misner. A global time is exist under condition of constant mean curvature slicing of spacetime. The volume of hypersurface and so-called mean York's time are canonical conjugated pair. So, the volume is the intrinsic global time by its sense. The experimentally observed redshift in cosmology is the evidence of its existence.

The surface Hamiltonian corresponding to the surface part of a gravitational action has $xp$ structure where $p$ is conjugate momentum of $x$. Moreover, it leads to $TS$ on the horizon of a black hole. Here $T$ and $S$ are temperature and entropy of the horizon. Imposing the hermiticity condition we quantize this Hamiltonian. This leads to an equidistant spectrum of its eigenvalues. Using this we show that the entropy of the horizon is quantized. This analysis holds for any order of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. For general relativity, the area spectrum is consistent with Bekenstein's observation. This provides a more robust confirmation of this earlier result as the calculation is based on the direct quantization of the Hamiltonian in the sense of usual quantum mechanics.

In the initial conditions of the $3 + 1$ formalism for numerical relativity, the transverse and trace-free (TT) part of the extrinsic curvature plays a key role. We know that TT tensors possess two degrees of freedom per space point. However, finding an expression for a TT tensor depending on only two scalar functions is a non-trivial task. Assuming either axial or translational symmetry, expressions depending on two scalar potentials alone are derived here for \emph{all} TT tensors in flat $3$-space. In a more general spatial slice, only one of these potentials is found, the same potential given in \cite{BakerPuzio} and \cite{Dain}, with the remaining equations reduced to a partial differential equation, depending on boundary conditions for a solution. As an exercise, we also derive the potentials which give the Bowen-York curvature tensor in flat space.

Interestingly, for the bending of light rays due to tachyon monopole instead of getting angle of deficit we find angle of surplus. Also we find that the tachyon monopole exerts an attractive gravitational force towards matter.

Motion of an ultra-relativistic perfect fluid in space-time with the Kasner metrics is investigated by the Hamiltonian method. It is found that in the limit of small times a tendency takes place to formation of strong inhomogeneities in matter distribution. In the case of slow flows the effect of non-stationary anisotropy on dynamics of sound waves and behaviour of frozen-in vortices is considered. It is shown that hydrodynamics of slow vortices on the static homogeneous background is equivalent to the usual Eulerian incompressible hydrodynamics, but in the presence of an external non-stationary strain velocity field.

We have investigated the behavior of three curvature invariants for Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstr{\o}m, Kerr, and Kerr-Newman black holes. We have also studied these invariants for a Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time, the $\gamma$ metric, and for a 2+1 charged dimensional black hole. The invariants are $I_{1}=R_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu;\lambda}R^{\alpha\beta\mu\nu;\lambda}$, $I_{2}=R_{\mu\nu;\lambda} R^{\mu\nu;\lambda}$, and $I_{3}=C_{\alpha\beta\mu\nu;\lambda}C^{\alpha\beta\mu\nu;\lambda}$. For all but the Kerr-Newman case these invariants serve as either horizon or stationary surface detectors. The Kerr-Newman case is more complicated. We show that $I_{1}$ vanishs on the horizon in any space-time with a Schwarzschild like metric.

Ghost-free bimetric theory describes two nonlinearly interacting spin-2 fields, one massive and one massless, thus extending general relativity. We confront bimetric theory with observations of Supernovae type 1a, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the Cosmic Microwave Background in a statistical analysis, utilising the recently proposed physical parametrisation. This directly constrains the physical parameters of the theory, such as the mass of the spin-2 field and its coupling to matter. We find that all models under consideration are in agreement with the data. Next, we compare these results to bounds from local tests of gravity. Our analysis reveals that all two- and three-parameter models are observationally consistent with both cosmological and local tests of gravity. The minimal bimetric model (only $\beta_1$) is ruled out by our combined analysis.

The spacetime singularities inside realistic black holes are sometimes thought to be spacelike and strong, since there is a generic class of solutions (BKL) to Einsteins equations with these properties. We show that null, weak singularities are also generic, in the following sense: there is a class of vacuum solutions containing null, weak singularities, depending on 8 arbitrary (up to some inequalities) analytic initial functions of 3 spatial coordinates. Since 8 arbitrary functions are needed (in the gauge used here) to span the generic solution, this class can be regarded as generic.

The Weiss variation of the Einstein-Hilbert action with an appropriate boundary term has been studied for general boundary surfaces; the boundary surfaces can be spacelike, timelike, or null. To achieve this we introduce an auxiliary reference connection and find that the resulting Weiss variation yields the Einstein equations as expected, with additional boundary contributions. Among these boundary contributions, we obtain the dynamical variable and the associated conjugate momentum, irrespective of the spacelike, timelike or, null nature of the boundary surface. We also arrive at the generally non-vanishing covariant generalization of the Einstein energy-momentum pseudotensor. We study this tensor in the Schwarzschild geometry and find that the pseudotensorial ambiguities translate into ambiguities in the choice of coordinates on the reference geometry. Moreover, we show that from the Weiss variation, one can formally derive a gravitational Schr{\"o}dinger equation, which may, despite ambiguities in the definition of the Hamiltonian, be useful as a tool for studying the problem of time in quantum general relativity. Implications have been discussed.

We study a behavior of quantum generalized affine parameter (QGAP), which has been recently proposed by one of the present authors, near the singularity and the event horizon in three and four spacetime dimensions in terms of a minisuperspace model of quantum gravity. It is shown that the QGAP is infinite to the singularity while it remains finite to the event horizon. This fact indicates a possible interpretation that the singularity is wiped out in quantum gravity in this particular model of black hole.

We investigate the charged scalar field propagating in a (2+1) charged BTZ black hole. The conditions for stability are studied unveiling, for each black hole geometry, the existence of a critical scalar charge as of the evolution is unstable. The existence of growing profiles is substantiated by the deep in the effective potential that intensifies as the scalar charge increases. The phenomenum happens in every black hole geometry even for small geometry charge. In the small scalar charge regime, the field evolution is stable and in such we calculate the quasinormal modes.

Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) -- systems with a compact object orbiting a much more massive (e.g., galactic center) black hole -- are of interest both as a new probe of the environments of galactic nuclei, and their waveforms are a precision test of the Kerr metric. This work focuses on the effects of an external perturbation due to a third body around an EMRI system. This perturbation will affect the orbit most significantly when the inner body crosses a resonance with the outer body, and result in a change of the conserved quantities (energy, angular momentum, and Carter constant) or equivalently of the actions, which results in a subsequent phase shift of the waveform that builds up over time. We present a general method for calculating the changes in action during a resonance crossing, valid for generic orbits in the Kerr spacetime. We show that these changes are related to the gravitational waveforms emitted by the two bodies (quantified by the amplitudes of the Weyl scalar $\psi_4$ at the horizon and at $\infty$) at the frequency corresponding to the resonance. This allows us to compute changes in the action variables for each body, without directly computing the explicit metric perturbations, and therefore we can carry out the computation by calling an existing black hole perturbation theory code. We show that our calculation can probe resonant interactions in both the static and dynamical limit. We plan to use this technique for future investigations of third-body effects in EMRIs and their potential impact on waveforms for LISA.

Generalized second law of thermodynamics in the Bianchi type I universe with the generalized holographic Ricci dark energy model is studied in this paper. The behavior of dark energy's equation of state parameter indicates that it is matter-like in the early time of the universe but phantom-like in the future. By analysing the evolution of the deviations of state parameter and the total pressure of the universe, we find that for an anisotropic Bianchi type I universe, it transits from a high anisotropy stage to a more homogeneous stage in the near past. Using the normal entropy given by Gibbs' law of thermodynamics, it is proved that the generalized second law of thermodynamics does not always satisfied throughout the history of the universe when we assume the universe is enclosed by the generalized Ricci scalar radius $R_{gr}$. It becomes invalid in the near past to the future, and the formation of the galaxies will be helpful in explaining such phenomenon, for that the galaxies's formation is an entropy increase process. The negative change rates of the horizon entropy and internal entropy occur in different period indicates that the influences of galaxies formation is wiped from internal to the universe's horizon.

The standard way of deriving Euler-Lagrange (EL) equations given a point particle action is to vary the trajectory and set the first variation of the action to zero. However, if the action is (i) reparameterisation invariant, and (ii) generally covariant, I show that one may derive the EL equations by suitably "nullifying" the variation through a judicious coordinate transformation. The net result of this is that the curve remains fixed, while all other geometrical objects in the action undergo a change, given precisely by the Lie derivatives along the variation vector field. This, then, is the most direct and transparent way to elucidate the connection between general covariance, diffeomorphism invariance, and Lie derivatives, without referring to covariant derivative. I highlight the geometric underpinnings and generality of above ideas by applying them to simplest of field theories, keeping the discussion at a level easily accessible to advanced undergraduates. As non-trivial applications of these ideas, I (i) derive the Geodesic Deviation Equation using first order diffeomorphisms, and (ii) demonstrate how they can highlight the connection between canonical and metric stress-energy tensors in field theories.

Koutras has proposed some methods to construct reducible proper conformal Killing tensors and Killing tensors (which are, in general, irreducible) when a pair of orthogonal conformal Killing vectors exist in a given space. We give the completely general result demonstrating that this severe restriction of orthogonality is unnecessary. In addition we correct and extend some results concerning Killing tensors constructed from a single conformal Killing vector. A number of examples demonstrate how it is possible to construct a much larger class of reducible proper conformal Killing tensors and Killing tensors than permitted by the Koutras algorithms. In particular, by showing that all conformal Killing tensors are reducible in conformally flat spaces, we have a method of constructing all conformal Killing tensors (including all the Killing tensors which will in general be irreducible) of conformally flat spaces using their conformal Killing vectors.

We study the physics of photon rings in a wide range of axisymmetric black holes admitting a separable Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the geodesics. Utilizing the Killing-Yano tensor, we derive the Penrose limit of the black holes, which describes the physics near the photon ring. The obtained plane wave geometry is directly linked to the frequency matrix of the massless wave equation, as well as the instabilities and Lyapunov exponents of the null geodesics. Consequently, the Lyapunov exponents and frequencies of the photon geodesics, along with the quasinormal modes, can be all extracted from a Hamiltonian in the Penrose limit plane wave metric. Additionally, we explore potential bounds on the Lyapunov exponent, the orbital and precession frequencies, in connection with the corresponding inverted harmonic oscillators and we discuss the possibility of photon rings serving as holographic horizons in a holographic duality framework for astrophysical black holes. Our formalism is applicable to spacetimes encompassing various types of black holes, including stationary ones like Kerr, Kerr-Newman, as well as static black holes such as Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstr\"om, among others.

We have studied in this paper, the stability of dynamical system in $f(R)$ gravity. We have considered the $f(R)$ $\gamma$-gravity and explored its dynamical analysis. We found six critical points among which only one describes an universe fulled of both matter and dominated dark energy. It's shown that these critical points presents specific phase spaces described by the corresponding fluids. Furthermore, we've investigated the stability conditions of these critical points and find that theses conditions are dependent of the model parameters. We also study the stability of a new power-law $f_\ast(R)$ model with de Sitter and power law solutions.

We construct the marginal loosely trapped surface (marginal LTS) for the Kerr spacetime with a small Kerr parameter perturbatively, where the LTS condition is saturated. An LTS is a surface that specifies the strong gravity region, which is a generalization of the photon sphere in the Schwarzschild spacetime. It turns out that there are an infinite number of marginal LTSs. At the leading order of the small Kerr parameter, all of the marginal LTSs have the same area. However, one can see that the maximal marginal LTS among them is uniquely determined at the higher order.

The purpose of this paper is twofold: On the one hand, after a thorough review of the matter free case, we supplement the derivations in our companion paper on 'loop quantum gravity without the Hamiltonian constraint' with calculational details and extend the results to standard model matter, a cosmological constant, and non-compact spatial slices. On the other hand, we provide a discussion on the role of observables, focussed on the situation of a symmetry exchange, which is key to our derivation. Furthermore, we comment on the relation of our model to reduced phase space quantisations based on deparametrisation.

The equations of motion of a test particle are integrated for the field of a rotating Kerr black hole (BH). Due to the lack of analytical transformations for the Carter-Penrose diagrams (CPDs) for the Kerr metric, the topology of the Kerr BH is studied by analytical investigation of the equations of motion. Transformations for the CPDs for the Reisner-Nordstr\"om metric are analyzed. The problem of boundary conditions for the Reisner-Nordstr\"om topology is analyzed. A solution to this problem of boundary conditions is proposed. It is proved that, in the Reisner-Nordstr\"om topology, only one way to go to another universe is possible. For the Kerr topology, the possibility of the existence of an alternative transition to another universe that does not coincide with the universe for the ordinary transition is found. This alternative transition is performed through a surface with a zero radial coordinate (zero radius). Initial conditions for the falling particle are found that correspond to an alternative transition to another universe. The tidal forces acting on a falling body in the Kerr metric are estimated, and the possibility of the transition of the body to other universes without being destroyed by tidal forces is proved.

We study the space-time geometry generated by coupling a free scalar field with a non-canonical kinetic term to General Relativity in $(2+1)$ dimensions. After identifying a family of scalar Lagrangians that yield exact analytical solutions in static and circularly symmetric scenarios, we classify the various types of solutions and focus on a branch that yields asymptotically flat geometries. We show that the solutions within such a branch can be divided in two types, namely, naked singularities and nonsingular objects without a center. In the latter, the energy density is localized around a maximum and vanishes only at infinity and at an inner boundary. This boundary has vanishing curvatures and cannot be reached by any time-like or null geodesic in finite affine time. This allows us to consistently interpret such solutions as nonsingular, lump-like, static compact scalar objects, whose eventual extension to the $(3+1)$-dimensional context could provide structures of astrophysical interest.

Upcoming observational runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, and future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors on the ground and in space, require waveform models more accurate than currently available. High-precision waveform models can be developed by improving the analytical description of compact binary dynamics and completing it with numerical-relativity (NR) information. Here, we assess the accuracy of the recent results for the fourth post-Minkowskian (PM) conservative dynamics through comparisons with NR simulations for the circular-orbit binding energy and for the scattering angle. We obtain that the 4PM dynamics gives better agreement with NR than the 3PM dynamics, and that while the 4PM approximation gives comparable results to the third post-Newtonian (PN) approximation for bound orbits, it performs better for scattering encounters. Furthermore, we incorporate the 4PM results in effective-one-body (EOB) Hamiltonians, which improves the disagreement with NR over the 4PM-expanded Hamiltonian from $\sim 40\%$ to $\sim 10\%$, or $\sim 3\%$ depending on the EOB gauge, for an equal-mass binary, two GW cycles before merger. Finally, we derive a 4PN-EOB Hamiltonian for hyperbolic orbits, and compare its predictions for the scattering angle to NR, and to the scattering angle of a 4PN-EOB Hamiltonian computed for elliptic orbits.

It has been known classically that a star with an ergoregion but no event horizon is unstable to the emission of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves. This classical ergoregion instability is characterized by complex frequency modes. We show how to canonically quantize a neutral scalar field in the presence of such unstable modes by considering a simple model for a rapidly rotating star. Some of interesting results is that there exists a physically meaningful mode decomposition including unstable normal mode solutions whose representation turns out to be a non-Fock-like Hilbert space. A ``particle" detector model placed in the in-vacuum state also shows that stars with ergoregions give rise to a spontaneous energy radiation to spatial infinity until ergoregions disappear.

The framework of SO(3,2) constrained BF theory applied to gravity makes it possible to generalize formulas for gravitational diffeomorphic Noether charges (mass, angular momentum, and entropy). It extends Wald's approach to the case of first order gravity with a negative cosmological constant, the Holst modification and the topological terms (Nieh-Yan, Euler, and Pontryagin). Topological invariants play essential role contributing to the boundary terms in the regularization scheme for the asymptotically AdS spacetimes, so that the differentiability of the action is automatically secured. Intriguingly, it turns out that the black hole thermodynamics does not depend on the Immirzi parameter for the AdS-Schwarzschild, AdS-Kerr, and topological black holes, whereas a nontrivial modification appears for the AdS-Taub-NUT spacetime, where it impacts not only the entropy, but also the total mass.

These cover a wide range of relational mechanics models as well as Electromagnetism, Yang--Mills Theory and General Relativity. We give an underlying reason why pure-configuration Kucha\v{r} observables are already well-known: various types of shape, E-fields, B-fields, loops and 3-geometries.

Using conformal coordinates associated with conformal relativity -- associated with de Sitter spacetime homeomorphic projection into Minkowski spacetime -- we obtain a conformal Klein-Gordon partial differential equation, which is intimately related to the production of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) oscillations, in the context of electromagnetic and/or gravitational perturbations around, e.g., black holes. While QNMs arise as the solution of a wave-like equation with a Poschl-Teller potential, here we deduce and analytically solve a conformal radial d'Alembert-like equation, from which we derive QNMs formal solutions, in a proposed alternative to more completely describe QNMs. As a by-product we show that this radial equation can be identified with a Schrodinger-like equation in which the potential is exactly the second Poschl-Teller potential, and it can shed some new light on the investigations concerning QNMs.

In order to reduce the Klein-Gordon equation (with minimal coupling), we introduce a generalization of the so-called "mode solutions" that are well-known in the special case of a Robertson-Walker universe. After separation of the variables, we end up with a partial differential equation in lower dimension. A reduced version of the Gordon current arises and is conserved. When the first factor-manifold is Lorentzian, distinct modes appear as mutually orthogonal in the sense of the sesquilinear form obtained from the customary Gordon current. Moreover, a sesquilinear form is defined on the space of solutions to the reduced equation. Extension of this picture to curvature coupling is possible when the second factor-manifold has a constant scalar curvature.

Using both the Born-Oppenheimer idea and the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of wavefunction we represent in a different way the semiclassical quantum gravity from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an oscillating regime which can preserve completely the unitary quantum evolution of a matter field at the expense of a nonlinear gravitational field equation, but has the same asymptotic limit as the others. We apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the nonlinear gravitational field equation to develop a perturbation method to find the quantum corrections of a matter field to the gravity. The semiclassical Einstein equation with the quantum corrections is found for a minimal quantum FRW cosmological model.

Low frequency gravitational waves (GWs) are keys to understanding cosmological inflation and super massive blackhole (SMBH) formation via blackhole mergers, while it is difficult to identify the low frequency GWs with ground-based GW experiments such as the advanced LIGO (aLIGO) and VIRGO due to the seismic noise. Although quasi-stellar object (QSO) proper motions produced by the low frequency GWs are measured by pioneering studies of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations with good positional accuracy, the low frequency GWs are not strongly constrained by the small statistics with 711 QSOs (Darling et al. 2018). Here we present the proper motion field map of 400,894 QSOs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with optical {\it Gaia} EDR3 proper motion measurements whose positional accuracy is $< 0.4$ milli-arcsec comparable with the one of the radio VLBI observations. We obtain the best-fit spherical harmonics with the typical field strength of $\mathcal{O}(0.1)\, \mu$arcsec, and place a tight constraint on the energy density of GWs, $\Omega_{\rm gw}=(0.964 \pm 3.804) \times 10^{-4}$ (95 \% confidence level), that is significantly stronger than the one of the previous VLBI study by two orders of magnitude at the low frequency regime of $f <10^{-9}\,{\rm [Hz]}\simeq (30\,{\rm yr})^{-1}$ unexplored by the pulsar timing technique. Our upper limit rules out the existence of SMBH binary systems at the distance $r < 400$ kpc from the Earth where the Milky Way center and local group galaxies are included. Demonstrating the limit given by our optical QSO study, we claim that astrometric satellite data including the forthcoming {\it Gaia} DR5 data with small systematic errors are powerful to constrain low frequency GWs.

Black holes are a recently observed theoretical prediction of General Relativity, characterized by event horizons, from which information cannot escape. Examined through the lenses of quantum mechanics, they can radiate at a definite temperature inverse to their mass and horizon radius. Hawking radiation, whose spectrum was calculated considering particles scattering off black holes, is connected to the paradox of the loss of information falling into them. Information can become non-fungible, due to scrambling. We demonstrate this feature not to be restricted to curved space-times: soft radiation scattering in a flat space-time does scramble information as well. To this end, we compute the scrambling of information through the tripartite mutual information in a scattering process off a black hole and compare it with the flat space-time analog. We show that the scrambling power of the gravitational field of a black hole is negligible with respect to the scrambling power of flat space-time.

The topology of the event horizon (TOEH) is usually believed to be a sphere. Nevertheless, some numerical simulations of gravitational collapse with a toroidal event horizon or the collision of event horizons are reported. Considering the indifferentiability of the event horizon (EH), we see that such non-trivial TOEHs are caused by the set of endpoints (the crease set) of the EH. The two-dimensional (one-dimensional) crease set is related to the toroidal EH (the coalescence of the EH). Furthermore, examining the stability of the structure of the endpoints, it becomes clear that the spherical TOEH is unstable under linear perturbation. On the other hand, a discussion based on catastrophe theory reveals that the TOEH with handles is stable and generic. Also, the relation between the TOEH and the hoop conjecture is discussed. It is shown that the Kastor-Traschen solution is regarded as a good example of the hoop conjecture by the discussion of its TOEH. We further conjecture that a non-trivial TOEH can be smoothed out by rough observation in its mass scale.

Starting with a new theory of symmetries generated by isometries in field theories with spin, one finds the generators of the spinor representation in backgrounds with a given symmetry. In this manner one obtains a collection of conserved operators from which one can chose the complete sets of commuting operators defining quantum modes. In this framework, the quantum modes of the free Dirac field on de Sitter or anti-de Sitter spacetimes can be completely derived in static or moving charts. One presents the discrete quantum modes, in the central static charts of the anti-de Sitter spacetime, whose eigenspinors can be normalized. The consequence is that the second quantization can be done in this case in canonical manner. For the free Dirac field on de Sitter manifolds this can not be done in static charts being forced to consider the moving ones. The quantum modes of the free Dirac field in these charts are used for writing down the quantum Dirac field and its one-particle operators.

The regularized vacuum fluctuation related to a conformally coupled massless scalar field defined on a space-time with dynamical horizon is computed with respect a radially moving observer in a generic flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-time. Two simple measurement prescriptions are given in order to remove the ambiguity associated with the short distance singularity of the correlation function. In some cases, it turns out that one is dealing with a quantum thermometer, recovering a proposal due to Buchholzet al. in order to determine local temperature in the framework of quantum field theory. In general, by arranging the detector so that it does not register for inertial motion in flat space, the regularized quantum fluctuation may be used as a probe of space-time geometry and, in particular, may provide informations on the Hubble parameter. As an aside, it is not possible in general to fully decouple the effect of the detector motion from the universe expansion, a fact that could be interpreted as a kind of Machian effect which can be traced back to the worldwide nature of the vacuum.

The corresponding results for Minkowski space and anti--de Sitter space are familiar and can be found in \cite{PR} or \cite{HT} for the former and \cite{KT} for the latter. Some of the formulas given here are also quite familiar, but some are thought to be new and it is convenient to have these facts collected in one place.

The laser-ranged satellite LARES is expected to provide new refined measurements of relativistic physics, as well as significant contributions to space geodesy and geophysics. The very low area-to-mass ratio of this passive and dense satellite was chosen to reduce as much as possible the disturbing effects of non-gravitational perturbations. However, because of its height, about 1450 km compared with about 5800-5900 km for the two LAGEOS satellites, LARES is exposed to a much stronger drag due to neutral atmosphere. From a precise orbit determination, analyzing the laser ranging normal points of LARES over a time span of about 3.7 years, it was found an average semi-major axis decay rate of -0.999 m per year, corresponding to a non-conservative net force with a mean along-track acceleration of -1.444 x 10^-11 m/s^2. By means of a modified version of the SATRAP (ISTI/CNR) code, the neutral drag perturbation acting on LARES was evaluated over the same time span, taking into account the real evolution of solar and geomagnetic activities, with five thermospheric density models. All of them were able to model most of the observed semi-major axis decay, with differences among the average drag coefficients smaller than 10%. A further independent check carried out analyzing the orbital decay of a passive spherical satellite (Ajisai) just 40 km higher than LARES, it was then concluded that some of the currently best models developed for neutral atmosphere, within their uncertainties and range of applicability, were able to account for most (about 98.6%) of the observed semi-major axis decay of LARES. Finally, after modeling the neutral atmosphere drag, a residual semi-major axis decay, corresponding to an average along-track acceleration of about -2 x 10^-13 m/s^2 (i.e. about 1/72 of neutral drag), was detected as well.

It is usually believed that MOND can describe the galactic rotational curves with only baryonic matter and without any dark matter very well, while the $\Lambda$CDM model is expected to have difficulty in reproducing MOND-like behavior. Here, we use EAGLE's data to learn whether the $\Lambda$CDM model can reproduce MOND-like behavior. EAGLE's simulation result clearly reproduces the MOND-like behavior for $a_b\gtrapprox 10^{-12}\text{m/s}^2$ at $z=0$, although the acceleration constant, $a_0$, is a little larger than the observational data indicate. We find that $a_0$ increases with the redshift in a way different from what Milgrom proposed ($a_0\propto H$). Therefore, while galaxy rotation curves can be fitted by MOND's empirical function in the $\Lambda$CDM model, there is no clear connection between $a_0$ and the Hubble constant. We also find that $a_0$ at $z\gtrapprox 1$ is well separated from $a_0$ at $z=0$. Once we have enough galaxies observed at high redshifts, we will be able to rule out the modified gravity model based on MOND-like empirical function with a z-independent $a_0$.

Quantum physics at scales large compared to the Planck scale is described in the framework of classical space-time geometries. A criterion for selecting these backgrounds out of quantized gravity is proposed. It leads to an instability of the black-hole geometry, as experienced by motion across the horizon, against emission of Hawking quanta. A phenomenological treatment of the evaporation process perceived by external observers who do not cross the event horizon is presented. Evaporation occurs within a topologically trivial ``achronon" geometrical background devoid of horizons and singularities describing a collapse frozen up to decay time scales. It is ignited as in the conventional theory from pair creation out of the vacuum of the collapsing star of mass $M$, but after a time of order $M\ln M$ the source of thermal radiation shifts gradually to the star itself. This allows for a unitary evolution except possibly for exponentially small background transition amplitudes. The emerging picture is compared with approaches of t'Hooft and Susskind and the problem of its overall quantum consistency is evoked. (Figures available upon request)

Applying the Pomeransky inverse scattering method to the four-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations and using the Levi-Civita solution as a seed, we construct a two-soliton solution with cylindrical symmetry. In our previous work, we constructed the one-soliton solution with a real pole and showed that the singularities that the Levi-Civita background has on an axis can be removed by the choice of certain special parameters, but it still has unavoidable null singularities, as usual one-solitons do. In this work, we show that for the two-soliton solutions, any singularities can be removed by suitable parameter-setting and such solutions describe the propagation of gravitational wave packets. Moreover, in terms of the two-soliton solutions, we mention a time shift phenomenon, the coalescence and the split of solitons as the nonlinear effect of gravitational waves.

Closed-form expressions for the ringdown complex amplitudes of nonspinning unequal-mass binaries in arbitrarily eccentric orbits are presented. They are built upon 237 numerical simulations contained within the RIT catalog, through the parameterisation introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 101401]. Global fits for the complex amplitudes, associated to linear quasinormal mode frequencies of the dominant ringdown modes, are obtained in a factorised form immediately applicable to any existing quasi-circular model. Similarly to merger amplitudes, ringdown ones increase by more than 50% compared to the circular case for high impact parameters (medium eccentricities), while strongly suppressed in the low impact parameter (highly eccentric) limit. Such reduction can be explained by a transition between an "orbital-type" and an "infall-type" dynamics. The amplitudes (phases) fits accuracy lies around a few percent (deciradians) for the majority of the dataset, comparable to the accuracy of current state-of-the-art quasi-circular ringdown models, and well within current statistical errors of current LIGO-Virgo-Kagra ringdown observations. These expressions constitute another building block towards the construction of complete general-relativistic inspiral-merger-ringdown semi-analytical templates, and allow to extend numerically-informed spectroscopic analyses beyond the circular limit. Such generalisations are key to achieve accurate inference of compact binaries astrophysical properties, and tame astrophysical systematics within observational investigations of strong-field general relativistic dynamics.

Closed-form expressions for the ringdown complex amplitudes of nonspinning unequal-mass binaries in arbitrarily eccentric orbits are presented. They are built upon 237 numerical simulations contained within the RIT catalog, through the parameterisation introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 101401]. Global fits for the complex amplitudes, associated to linear quasinormal mode frequencies of the dominant ringdown modes, are obtained in a factorised form immediately applicable to any existing quasi-circular model. Similarly to merger amplitudes, ringdown ones increase by more than 50% compared to the circular case for high impact parameters (medium eccentricities), while strongly suppressed in the low impact parameter (highly eccentric) limit. Such reduction can be explained by a transition between an "orbital-type" and an "infall-type" dynamics. The amplitudes (phases) fits accuracy lies around a few percent (deciradians) for the majority of the dataset, comparable to the accuracy of current state-of-the-art quasi-circular ringdown models, and well within current statistical errors of current LIGO-Virgo-Kagra ringdown observations. These expressions constitute another building block towards the construction of complete general-relativistic inspiral-merger-ringdown semi-analytical templates, and allow to extend numerically-informed spectroscopic analyses beyond the circular limit. Such generalisations are key to achieve accurate inference of compact binaries astrophysical properties, and tame astrophysical systematics within observational investigations of strong-field general relativistic dynamics.

The electromagnetic field around a Kerr black hole inside a current loop is sometimes used as the basis of a toy model for discussing the properties of particle orbits near astrophysical black holes. The motivation for the present paper is to correct the published solution to Maxwell's equations with a charged current loop. Dipole approximations and closed-form expressions in the extreme Kerr limit are also presented. Using the corrected solution, it turns out that imposing a vanishing electromotive force produces a loop with a potential which is finite everywhere outside the black hole. Ring solutions can be combined into solutions with multiple rings or current discs.

We investigate the absorption properties of reflection-asymmetric wormholes constructed via the thin-shell formalism in Palatini $f({\cal R})$ gravity. Such wormholes come from the matching of two Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetimes at a time-like hypersurface (shell), which, according to the junction conditions in Palatini $f({\cal R})$ gravity, can have positive or negative energy density. Using numerical methods we investigate several configurations that satisfy the junction conditions, and analyze how the parameters of the system affect the absorption spectra. We confirm that the absorption cross section of wormholes at low frequencies significantly departs from that of black holes, and observe that in configurations made out of two naked singularities, the absorption spectra exhibit new features due to the effective light ring associated to the wormhole throat. The possibility of observing the presence of resonances at high frequencies is also discussed.

The cross-correlation search has been previously applied to map the gravitational wave (GW) stochastic background in the sky and also to target GW from rotating neutron stars/pulsars. Here we investigate how the cross-correlation method can be used to target a small region in the sky spanning at most a few pixels, where a pixel in the sky is determined by the diffraction limit which depends on the (i) baseline joining a pair of detectors and (ii) detector bandwidth. Here as one of the promising targets, we consider the Virgo cluster - a "hot spot" spanning few pixels - which could contain, as estimates suggest $\sim 10^{11}$ neutron stars, of which a small fraction would continuously emit GW in the bandwidth of the detectors. For the detector baselines, we consider advanced detector pairs among LCGT, LIGO, Virgo, ET etc. Our results show that sufficient signal to noise can be accumulated with integration times of the order of a year. The results improve for the multibaseline search. This analysis could as well be applied to other likely hot spots in the sky and other possible pairs of detectors.

Analyzing quantum cosmological scenarios containing one scalar field with exponential potential, we have obtained a universe model which realizes a classical dust contraction from very large scales, the initial repeller of the model, and moves to a stiff matter contraction near the singularity, which is avoided due to a quantum bounce. The universe is then launched in a stiff matter expanding phase, which then moves to a dark energy era, finally returning to the dust expanding phase, the final attractor of the model. Hence one has obtained a nonsingular cosmological model where a single scalar field can describe both the matter contracting phase of a bouncing model, necessary to give an almost scale invariant spectrum of scalar cosmological perturbations, and a transient expanding dark energy phase. As the universe is necessarily dust dominated in the far past, usual adiabatic vacuum initial conditions can be easily imposed in this era, avoiding the usual issues appearing when dark energy is considered in bouncing models.

We propose a quantitative test for the validity of the semi-classical approximation in gravity, namely that the solutions to the semi-classical equations should be stable to linearized perturbations, in the sense that no gauge invariant perturbation should become unbounded in time. We show that a self-consistent linear response analysis of these perturbations based upon an invariant effective action principle involves metric fluctuations about the mean semi-classical geometry and brings in the two-point correlation function of the quantum energy-momentum tensor in a natural way. The properties of this correlation function are discussed and it is shown on general grounds that it contains no state-dependent divergences and requires no new renormalization counterterms beyond those required in the leading order semi-classical approximation.

A third post-Newtonian (3 PN) equation of motion for an inspiralling binary consisting of two spherical compact stars with strong internal gravity is derived under harmonic coordinate condition using the strong field point particle limit. The equation of motion is complete in a sense that it is Lorentz invariant in the post-Newtonian perturbative sense, admits conserved energy of the orbital motion, and is unambiguous, that is, with no undetermined coefficient. In this paper, we show explicit expressions of the 3 PN equation of motion and an energy of the binary orbital motion in case of the circular orbit (neglecting the 2.5 PN radiation reaction effect) and in the center of the mass frame. It is argued that the 3 PN equation of motion we obtained is physically unambiguous. Full details will be reported elsewhere.

We study effects of Lorentz-invariance violation on the rotation of neutron stars (NSs) in the minimal gravitational Standard-Model Extension framework, and calculate the quadrupole radiation generated by them. Aiming at testing Lorentz invariance with observations of continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from rotating NSs in the future, we compare the GW spectra of a rotating ellipsoidal NS under Lorentz-violating gravity with those of a Lorentz-invariant one. The former are found to possess frequency components higher than the second harmonic, which does not happen for the latter, indicating those higher frequency components to be potential signatures of Lorentz violation in continuous GW spectra of rotating NSs.

Light degrees of freedom that modify gravity on cosmological scales must be "screened" on solar system scales in order to be compatible with data. The Vainshtein mechanism achieves this through a breakdown of classical perturbation theory, as large interactions involving new degrees of freedom become important below the so-called Vainshtein radius. We begin to develop an extension of the Parameterized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism that is able to handle Vainshteinian corrections. We argue that theories with a unique Vainshtein scale must be expanded using two small parameters. In this Parameterized Post-Newtonian-Vainshteinian (PPNV) expansion, the primary expansion parameter that controls the PPN order is, as usual, the velocity $v$. The secondary expansion parameter, $\alpha$, controls the strength of the Vainshteinian correction and is a theory-specific combination of the Schwarzschild radius and the Vainshtein radius of the source that is independent of its mass. We present the general framework and apply it to Cubic Galileon theory both inside and outside the Vainshtein radius. The PPNV framework can be used to determine the compatibility of such theories with solar system and other strong-field data.

The quantum theory of black holes has opened up a window to study the intersection of general relativity and quantum field theory, but perceived paradoxes concerning the fate of classical information directed at a black hole horizon, as well as concerning the unitarity of the evaporation process, have led researchers to question the very foundations of physics. In this pedagogical review I clarify the ramifications of the fact that black holes not only emit radiation spontaneously, but also respond to infalling matter and radiation by emitting approximate clones of those fields in a stimulated manner. I review early purely statistical arguments based on Einstein's treatment of black bodies, and then show that the Holevo capacity of the black hole (the capacity to transmit classical information through a quantum channel) is always positive. I then show how stimulated emission turns the black hole into an almost optimal quantum cloning machine, and furthermore discuss the capacity of black holes to transmit quantum information. Taking advantage of an analogy between black hole physics and non-linear optics I show that a calculation of the evolution of a black hole over time, using a discretization of the black hole $S$-matrix path integral, yields well-behaved Page curves suggesting that black hole evaporation is unitary. Finally, I speculate about possible observable consequences of stimulated emission of radiation in black holes.

We are entering a new era to test the strong gravity regime around astrophysical black holes. The possibility that they are actually horizonless ultracompact objects and then free from the information loss paradox can be examined more closely with observational data. In this paper, we systematically develop a thermal gas model of the 2-2-hole in quadratic gravity, as one step further to look for more tractable models of black hole mimickers. Concrete predictions for departures from black holes are made all the way down to the high curvature interior. The simple form of matter further enables an explicit study of the relation between geometry and thermodynamics. Within this unified framework, we identify notably different behaviors at two limits. On one side is the astrophysically large 2-2-hole, as characterized by a minuscule deviation outside the would-be horizon and a highly squeezed interior along the radial direction. Anomalous features of black hole thermodynamics emerge from the ordinary gas. On the other side is the minimal 2-2-hole with an isotropic and shrinking interior, which behaves more like a normal thermodynamic system. This brings a new perspective to the related theoretical questions as well as phenomenological implications.

We revisit the problem of the equations of motion of a system of $N$ self-interacting massive particles (without spins) in the first post-Minkowskian (1PM) approximation of general relativity. We write the equations of motion, gravitational field and associated conserved integrals of the motion in a form suitable for comparison with recently published post-Newtonian (PN) results at the 4PN order. We show that the Lagrangian associated with the equations of motion in harmonic coordinates is a generalized one, and compute all the terms linear in $G$ up to 5PN order. We discuss the Hamiltonian in the frame of the center of mass and exhibit a canonical transformation connecting it to previous results directly obtained with the Hamiltonian formalism of general relativity. Finally we recover the known result for the gravitational scattering angle of two particles at the 1PM order.

We revisit the problem of the equations of motion of a system of $N$ self-interacting massive particles (without spins) in the first post-Minkowskian (1PM) approximation of general relativity. We write the equations of motion, gravitational field and associated conserved integrals of the motion in a form suitable for comparison with recently published post-Newtonian (PN) results at the 4PN order. We show that the Lagrangian associated with the equations of motion in harmonic coordinates is a generalized one, and compute all the terms linear in $G$ up to 5PN order. We discuss the Hamiltonian in the frame of the center of mass and exhibit a canonical transformation connecting it to previous results directly obtained with the Hamiltonian formalism of general relativity. Finally we recover the known result for the gravitational scattering angle of two particles at the 1PM order.

We investigate cosmological perturbations of f(G) gravity in the presence of a scalar field. Using the 1 + 3 covariant formalism, we present the energy overdensity perturbation equations responsible for large scale structure formation. After applying harmonic decomposition method together with the redshift transformation technique, we obtain the fully perturbed equations in redshift space. The equations are solved to study the growth of matter overdensities contrast with redshift. For both short- and long-wavelength modes, we obtain numerical results for particular functional form f(G) models and scalar field. We find that, for this choice the energy overdensity perturbations decay with increase in redshift. However, for both short- and long- wavelength modes, the perturbations which include amplitude effects due to the f(G) models with a scalar field do differ remarkably from those in Lambda CDM. The results reduce to GR results in the limit of f(G) tends to G and in the absence of scalar field.

Previous studies have demonstrated that gravitational radiation reliably encodes information about the natural emission direction of the source (e.g., the orbital plane). In this paper, we demonstrate that these orientations can be efficiently estimated by the principal axes of <L_a L_b>, an average of the action of rotation group generators on the Weyl tensor at asymptotic infinity. Evaluating this average at each time provides the instantaneous emission direction. Further averaging across the entire signal yields an average orientation, closely connected to the angular components of the Fisher matrix. The latter direction is well-suited to data analysis and parameter estimation when the instantaneous emission direction evolves significantly. Finally, in the time domain, the average <L_a L_b> provides fast, invariant diagnostics of waveform quality.

The gravitational self-force on a point particle moving in a vacuum background spacetime can be expressed as an integral over the past worldline of the particle, the so-called tail term. In this paper, we consider that piece of the self-force obtained by integrating over a portion of the past worldline that extends a proper time ${\Delta}{\tau}$ into the past, provided that ${\Delta}{\tau}$ does not extend beyond the normal neighborhood of the particle. We express this ``quasi-local'' piece as a power series in the proper time interval ${\Delta}{\tau}$. We argue from symmetries and dimensional considerations that the $O({\Delta}{\tau}^0)$ and $O({\Delta}{\tau})$ terms in this power series must vanish, and compute the first two non-vanishing terms which occur at $O({\Delta}{\tau}^2)$ and $O({\Delta}{\tau}^3)$. The coefficients in the expansion depend only on the particle's four velocity and on the Weyl tensor and its derivatives at the particle's location. The result may be useful as a foundation for a practical computational method for gravitational self-forces in the Kerr spacetime, in which the portion of the tail integral in the distant past is computed numerically from a mode sum decomposition.

In this work, we try to obtain a stable Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) static universe, which is spherically symmetric and radially inhomogeneous. However, this is not an easy task, and fails in general relativity (GR) and various modified gravity theories, because the corresponding LTB static universes must reduce to the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) static universes. We find a way out in a new type of modified gravity theory, in which the conservation of energy and momentum is broken. In this work, we have proposed a novel modification to the original Rastall gravity. In some sense, our Rastall-like gravity is essentially different from GR and the original Rastall gravity. In this Rastall-like gravity, LTB static solutions have been found. The stability of LTB static universe against both the homogeneous and the inhomogeneous scalar perturbations is also discussed in details. We show that a LTB static universe can be stable in this Rastall-like gravity.

Broad searches for continuous gravitational wave signals rely on hierarchies of follow-up stages for candidates above a given significance threshold. An important step to simplify these follow-ups and reduce the computational cost is to bundle together in a single follow-up nearby candidates. This step is called clustering and we investigate carrying it out with a deep learning network. In our first paper [1], we implemented a deep learning clustering network capable of correctly identifying clusters due to large signals. In this paper, a network is implemented that can detect clusters due to much fainter signals. These two networks are complementary and we show that a cascade of the two networks achieves an excellent detection efficiency across a wide range of signal strengths, with a false alarm rate comparable/lower than that of methods currently in use.

The use of Bayesian reasoning allows, under well defined hypotheses, even tiny pieces of evidence in favor of each model to be extracted from the data. The combination of the data of several experiments can therefore be performed in an optimal and efficient way. Some models for Galactic sources are considered and, within each model, the experimental result is summarized with the likelihood rescaled to the insensitivity limit value (``${\cal R}$ function'').

Employing the quasi-Maxwell form of the Einstein field equations in the context of gravitoelectromagnetism, we introduce a general relativistic analog of Poisson's equation as a natural outcome of the corresponding spacetime decomposition formalism. The active density introduced in this formalism, apart from the matter-energy density and pressure, includes a third component which is the gravitoelectromagnetic energy density. This general relativistic analog of Poisson's equation is compared with another analog introduced by Ehlers et al. in [1]. Introduction of the cosmological constant and its effect on the active mass, are also discussed for both exterior and interior static spacetimes. In the stationary case, we consider the Kerr spacetime with a special choice for its interior metric.

Rotating black hole solutions in the (3+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons modified gravity theory are discussed by taking account of perturbation around the Schwarzschild solution. The zenith-angle dependence of a metric function related to the frame-dragging effect is determined from a constraint equation independently of a choice of the embedding coordinate. We find that at least within the framework of the first-order perturbation method, the black hole cannot rotate for finite black hole mass if the embedding coordinate is taken to be a timelike vector. However, the rotation can be permitted in the limit of $M/r \to 0$ (where $M$ is the black hole mass and $r$ is the radius). For a spacelike vector, the rotation can also be permitted for any value of the black hole mass.

Gravitational particle production of spectator fields due to the expansion universe during the inflationary and reheating phases of the early universe is of particular interest in the context of dark matter, since it allows to constrain the properties of the dark candidate by comparing the density of particles produced with the observed dark matter abundance. In such processes, tachyonic instabilities arise as a consequence of the coupling to the curvature, greatly enhancing mode production. In this work, we consider a massive vector field that is coupled to the curvature scalar and the Ricci tensor only, and study its gravitational production through inflation and reheating. We show how the mechanism is more efficient than in the case of a non-minimally coupled scalar field, giving rise to larger abundances. Moreover, we analyze the importance of the coupling to the Ricci tensor, which increases tachyonic instabilities in the system, and constrain the mass of the dark particle and the values of the coupling constants by comparing the corresponding abundance with observations

Coalescences of binary neutron stars and/or black holes are amongst the most likely gravitational-wave signals to be observed in ground based interferometric detectors. Apart from the astrophysical importance of their detection, they will also provide us with our very first empirical access to the genuinely strong-field dynamics of General Relativity (GR). We present a new framework based on Bayesian model selection aimed at detecting deviations from GR, subject to the constraints of the Advanced Virgo and LIGO detectors. The method tests the consistency of coefficients appearing in the waveform with the predictions made by GR, without relying on any specific alternative theory of gravity. The framework is suitable for low signal-to-noise ratio events through the construction of multiple subtests, most of which involve only a limited number of coefficients. It also naturally allows for the combination of information from multiple sources to increase one's confidence in GR or a violation thereof. We expect it to be capable of finding a wide range of possible deviations from GR, including ones which in principle cannot be accommodated by the model waveforms, on condition that the induced change in phase at frequencies where the detectors are the most sensitive is comparable to the effect of a few percent change in one or more of the low-order post-Newtonian phase coefficients. In principle the framework can be used with any GR waveform approximant, with arbitrary parameterized deformations, to serve as model waveforms. In order to illustrate the workings of the method, we perform a range of numerical experiments in which simulated gravitational waves modeled in the restricted post-Newtonian, stationary phase approximation are added to Gaussian and stationary noise that follows the expected Advanced LIGO/Virgo noise curves.

We provide a prescription to compute the gravitational multipole moments of compact objects for asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. Our prescription builds upon a recent definition of the gravitational multipole moments in terms of Noether charges associated to specific vector fields, within the residual harmonic gauge, dubbed multipole symmetries. We first derive the multipole symmetries for spacetimes which are asymptotically de Sitter; we also show that these symmetry vector fields eliminate the non-propagating degrees of freedom from the linearized gravitational wave equation in a suitable gauge. We then apply our prescription to the Kerr-de Sitter black hole and compute its multipole structure. Our result recovers the Geroch-Hansen moments of the Kerr black hole in the limit of vanishing cosmological constant.

We analyze the motion of the spinning body (in the pole-dipole approximation) in the gravitational and electromagnetic fields described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon-Souriau equations. First, we define a novel spin supplementary condition for the electromagnetic interactions which generalizes the one proposed by Ohashi-Kyrian-Semer\'ak for gravity. As a result, we get the whole family of charged spinning particle models in the curved spacetime with remarkably simple dynamics (momentum and velocity are parallel). Applying the reparametrization procedure, for a specific dipole moment, we obtain equations of motion with constant mass and gyromagnetic factor. Next, we show that these equations follows from an effective Hamiltonian formalism, previously interpreted as a classical model of the charged Dirac particle.

As a result, we get the whole family of charged spinning particle models in the curved spacetime with remarkably simple dynamics (momentum and velocity are parallel). Applying the reparametrization procedure, for a specific dipole moment, we obtain equations of motion with constant mass and gyromagnetic factor. Next, we show that these equations follows from an effective Hamiltonian formalism, previously interpreted as a classical model of the charged Dirac particle.

Based on the idea that the components of a cosmological metric may be determined by the total gravitational potential of the universe, the scalar field $\phi=1/G$ in the Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) theory is introduced as evolving with the inverse square of the scale factor. Since the gravitational potential is related to the field $\phi$ resulting from Mach's principle and depends on time due to the expansion of space, the temporal evolution of the field should be in accord with the evolution of time and space intervals in the metric tensor. For the same reason, the time dependence of the field makes these comoving intervals relative for different points on the time axis. Thus, it is shown that introduction of the cosmic gravitational potential as a time dependent scalar field proportional to $1/a^2$ may resolve the flatness, the horizon and the late-time accelerating expansion problems of the standard model of cosmology. The luminosity distance vs redshift data of Type Ia supernovae is in agreement with this approach.

We analyze the limiting solution of the Bartnik-McKinnon family and show that its exterior is an extremal Reissner-Nordstr{\o}m black hole and not a new type of non-abelian black hole as claimed in a recent article by Smoller and Wasserman.
