Wormhole geometries in curvature-matter coupled modified gravity are explored, by considering an explicit nonminimal coupling between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature, R, and the Lagrangian density of matter. It is the effective stress-energy tensor containing the coupling between matter and the higher order curvature derivatives that is responsible for the null energy condition violation, and consequently for supporting the respective wormhole geometries. The general restrictions imposed by the null energy condition violation are presented in the presence of a nonminimal R-matter coupling. Furthermore, obtaining exact solutions to the gravitational field equations is extremely difficult due to the nonlinearity of the equations, although the problem is mathematically well-defined. Thus, we outline several approaches for finding wormhole solutions, and deduce an exact solution by considering a linear R nonmiminal curvature-matter coupling and by considering an explicit monotonically decreasing function for the energy density. Although it is difficult to find exact solutions of matter threading the wormhole satisfying the energy conditions at the throat, an exact solution is found where the nonminimal coupling does indeed minimize the violation of the null energy condition of normal matter at the throat.

We construct models of rotating stars using the perturbative approach introduced by J. Hartle in 1967, and a set of equations of state proposed to model hadronic interactions in the inner core of neutron stars. We integrate the equations of stellar structure to third order in the angular velocity and show, comparing our results to those obtained with fully non linear codes, to what extent third order corrections are needed to accurately reproduce the moment of inertia of a star which rotates at rates comparable to that of the fastest isolated pulsars.

Klein-Gordon (KG) particles in cosmic string rainbow gravity spacetime and a uniform magnetic field are studied in the context of the so called, metaphorically speaking, position-dependent mass (PDM) settings. We show that the corresponding KG-equation collapses into a two-dimensional radial Schr\"{o}dinger-Coulomb like model. The exact textbook solution of which is used to find the energies and wave functions of KG-Coulombic particles (both constant mass and PDM ones). In so doing, we consider, with $y=E/E_{P}$, four pairs of rainbow functions: (a) $% g_{_{0}}\left( y\right) =1$, $g_{_{1}}\left( y\right) =\sqrt{1-\epsilon y^{2}% }$, (b) $g_{_{0}}\left( y\right) =1$, $g_{_{1}}\left( y\right) =\sqrt{% 1-\epsilon y}$, (c) $g_{_{0}}\left( y\right) =g_{_{1}}\left( y\right) =\left( 1-\epsilon y\right) ^{-1}$, and (d) $g_{_{0}}( y) =(e^{\epsilon y}-1) /\epsilon y$, $g_{_{1}}\left( y\right) =1$. Interestingly, we observe that the first pair in (a) introduces the Planck energy $E_{p}$ as a maximum possible KG-particle/antiparticle energy value.

We investigate the effects to all orders in the Planck length, from a generalized uncertainty principle, on the thermodynamic parameters of radiating Schwarzschild black holes in a scenario with large extra dimesions. We show that black holes in this framework are hotter, decay faster and are less classical objects. Particularly, we show that the final stage of the radiation process is a black hole remnant with zero entropy, zero heat capacity and non zero finite temperature. We finally compare our results with the ones obtained in the standard Hawking picture and with the generalized uncertainty principle to leading order in the Planck length.

We construct not only an induced gravity model with the restricted diffeomorphisms, that is, transverse diffeomorphisms which preserves the curvature density, but also that with the full diffeomorphisms. By solving the equations of motion, it turns out that these models produce Einstein's equations with a certain Newton's constant in addition to the constraint for the curvature density. In the limit of the infinite Newton constant, the models give rise to induced gravity. Moreover, we discuss cosmological solutions on the basis of the gravitational models at hand.

The symmetron model is a scalar-tensor theory of gravity with a screening mechanism that suppresses the effect of the symmetron field at high densities characteristic of the solar system and laboratory scales but allows it to act with gravitational strength at low density on the cosmological scale. We elucidate the screening mechanism by showing that in the quasi-static Newtonian limit there are precise analogies between symmetron gravity and electrostatics for both strong and weak screening. For strong screening we find that large dense bodies behave in a manner analogous to perfect conductors in electrostatics. Based on this analogy we find that the symmetron field exhibits a lightning rod effect wherein the field gradients are enhanced near the ends of pointed or elongated objects. An ellipsoid placed in a uniform symmetron gradient is shown to experience a torque. By symmetry there is no gravitational torque in this case. Hence this effect unmasks the symmetron and might serve as the basis for future laboratory experiments. The symmetron force between a point mass and a large dense body includes a component corresponding to the interaction of the point mass with its image in the larger body. None of these effects have counterparts in the Newtonian limit of Einstein gravity. We discuss the similarities between symmetron gravity and the chameleon model as well as the differences between the two.

Then, the geodesic motion of massive and massless particles is obtained analytically. We find that confined orbits are forbidden on this spacetime, however radial photons can escape to infinity in an infinite proper time but in a finite coordinate time, this correspond to an interesting and novel result.

Suppose, the Universe comes into existence (as classical spacetime) already with an empty spherically symmetric macroscopic wormhole present in it. Classically the wormhole would evolve into a part of the Schwarzschild space and thus would not allow any signal to traverse it. I consider semiclassical corrections to that picture and build a model of an evaporating wormhole. The model is based on the assumption that the vacuum polarization and its backreaction on the geometry of the wormhole are weak. The lack of information about the era preceding the emergence of the wormhole results in appearance of three parameters which -- along with the initial mass -- determine the evolution of the wormhole. For some values of these parameters the wormhole turns out to be long-lived enough to be traversed and to transform into a time machine.

In this paper, we have creatively employed the shadow radius to study the thermodynamics of a charged AdS black hole with a nonlinear electrodynamics(NLED) term. First, the connection between the shadow radius and event horizon is constructed with the aid of the geodesic analysis. It turns out that the black hole shadow radius shows a positive correlation as a function of the event horizon radius. Then in the shadow context, we found that the black hole temperature and heat capacity can be presented by the shadow radius. And further analysis shows that the shadow radius can do as well as the event horizon in revealing black hole phase transition process. In this sense, we constructed the thermal profile of the charged AdS black hole with inclusion of the NLED effect. In P < Pc case, it is found that the N-type trend of the temperature given by the shadow radius is always coincide with that obtained by using the event horizon. So, we can concluded for the charged AdS black hole that the phase transition process can be intuitively presented as the thermal profile in the shadow context. Finally, the effects of NLED have been carefully analysed through out the paper.

And further analysis shows that the shadow radius can do as well as the event horizon in revealing black hole phase transition process. In this sense, we constructed the thermal profile of the charged AdS black hole with inclusion of the NLED effect. In P < Pc case, it is found that the N-type trend of the temperature given by the shadow radius is always coincide with that obtained by using the event horizon. So, we can concluded for the charged AdS black hole that the phase transition process can be intuitively presented as the thermal profile in the shadow context. Finally, the effects of NLED have been carefully analysed through out the paper.

We present the results of a numerical study of the fluid $f$, $p$ and the gravitational $w$ modes for increasingly relativistic nonrotating polytropes. The results for $f$ and $w$-modes are in good agreement with previous data for uniform density stars, which supports an understanding of the nature of the gravitational wave modes based on the uniform density data. We show that the $p$-modes can become extremely long-lived for some relativistic stars. This effect is attributed to the change in the perturbed density distribution as the star becomes more compact.

Compact stars have long served as a test bed of gravitational models and their coupling with stellar matter. In this work, we explore the behavior of an exponential model in f(T) gravity through the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation. This is performed for different envelope thicknesses. Finally, constraints on the models parameters are obtained, which are comparable to the results obtained using cosmological survey data. This consistency across the strong astrophysical and weak cosmological scales shows reasonable viability of the underlying model.

Einstein's famous equivalence principle is certainly one of the most striking features of the gravitational interaction. In a strict reading, it states that the effects of gravity can be made to disappear $locally$ by a convenient choice of reference frame. As a consequence, no covariantly-defined gravitational force should exist and energy-momentum of all matter and interaction fields combined, with gravity $excluded$, should be locally conserved. Although elegant, this separate conservation law represents a strong constraint on the dynamics of a gravitating system and it is only logical to question its naturality and observational basis. This is the purpose of the present work. For concreteness sake, we analyze, in the context of metric theories of gravity, the simplest phenomenological model which allows for local energy-momentum exchange between the spacetime and matter/interaction fields while preserving the seemingly more natural principle of general covariance. This concrete model turns out to be a generalization of the socalled Rastall's theory, with one important advantage: criticisms made to the latter, which are often used to dismiss it as a viable or interesting model, do not apply to the former in a universe containing "dark" ingredients, such as ours -- a connection which seems to have been overlooked thus far. We conclude by exploring the consequences of our Rastall-like model to standard (astrophysical and cosmological) gravitational scenarios.

The paper deals with a theoretical model for interacting dark energy. The interaction between the cold dark matter (dust) and the dark energy has been assumed to be non-gravitational in nature. Exact analytic cosmological solutions are obtained both for constant and variable equation of state for dark energy. It is found that, for very small value of the coupling parameter (in the interaction term), the model asymptotically extends up to $\Lambda$CDM, while the model can enter into the phantom domain asymptotically, if the coupling parameter is not so small. Both the solutions are then analyzed with 194 Supernovae Type Ia data. The best fit parameters are shown with 1$\sigma$ and 2$\sigma$ confidence intervals. Finally, we have discussed the cosmographic parameters for both the cases.

The dynamics of an inhomogeneous universe is studied with the methods of Loop Quantum Cosmology as an example of the quantization of vacuum cosmological spacetimes containing gravitational waves (Gowdy spacetimes). The analysis performed at the effective level shows that: (i) The initial Big Bang singularity is replaced (as in the case of homogeneous cosmological models) by a Big Bounce, joining deterministically two large universes, (ii) the universe size at the bounce is at least of the same order of magnitude as that of the background homogeneous universe, (iii) for each gravitational wave mode, the difference in amplitude at very early and very late times has a vanishing statistical average when the bounce dynamics is strongly dominated by the inhomogeneities, whereas this average is positive when the dynamics is in a near-vacuum regime, so that statistically the inhomogeneities are amplified.

Gravitational wave (GW) echoes, if they exist, would be a probe to the near-horizon quantum structure of black hole (BH), which has motivated the searching for the echo signals in GW data. We point out that the echo phenomenology related with the potential structure might be not so simple as expected. In particular, if the near-horizon regime of BH is modelled as a multiple-barriers filter, the late-time GW ringdown waveform will exhibit the mixing of echoes, even the superpositions. As a result, the amplitudes of successive echoes might not drop sequentially.

The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analyzing them are reviewed and updated. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eotvos experiment, tests of local Lorentz invariance and clock experiments. Ongoing tests of EEP and of the inverse square law are searching for new interactions arising from unification or quantum gravity. Tests of general relativity at the post-Newtonian level have reached high precision, including the light deflection, the Shapiro time delay, the perihelion advance of Mercury, the Nordtvedt effect in lunar motion, and frame-dragging. Gravitational-wave damping has been detected in an amount that agrees with general relativity to better than half a percent using the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar, and a growing family of other binary pulsar systems is yielding new tests, especially of strong-field effects. Current and future tests of relativity will center on strong gravity and gravitational waves.

We consider a quantized massless and minimally coupled scalar field on a circular closed string with a time-dependent radius $R(t)$, whose undisturbed dynamics is governed by the Nambu-Goto action. Within the semi-classical treatment, the back-reaction of the quantum field onto the string dynamics is taken into account in terms of the renormalized expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor including the trace anomaly. The results indicate that the back-reaction could prevent the collapse of the circle $R\downarrow0$ -- however, the semi-classical picture fails to describe the string dynamics at the turning point (i.e., possible bounce) at finite values of $R$ and $\dot R$. The fate of the closed string after that point (e.g., oscillation or eternal acceleration) cannot be determined within the semi-classical picture and thus probably requires the full quantum treatment. PACS: 04.62.+v, 03.70.+k, 11.15.Kc, 04.60.-m.

Despite constituting a noteworthy $\sim 27\%$ share of the total energy budget of our Universe, dark matter (DM) has thus far eluded direct observations. Owing to its pervasive nature, there is a sincere expectation that astrophysical black holes (BHs) encompassed by DM should leave distinctive imprints on the gravitational waves arising from BH mergers. Theoretical models of DM present a diverse landscape of possibilities, with perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM) emerging as a recent and notably intriguing candidate model. In this work, utilizing the established quantum optical approach, we investigate the possibility of catching DM signatures via acceleration radiation emitted by a freely-falling detector (e.g. an atom) within a PFDM-surrounded Schwarzschild BH. The setup involves a Casimir-type apparatus where the detector interacts with the field, and this situation induces excitations in the detector in a manner consistent with Unruh effect. We observe that our DM candidate, while making classical contributions to spacetime geometry, has the potential to leave quantum imprints in the radiation flux. Notably, it is observed that, in comparison to a pure Schwarzschild BH, PFDM can markedly reduce particle emission as long as its density remains below a critical threshold, and vice versa. Given the lessons we have learnt from realizing cosmological phenomena in simulated laboratory conditions, there is a remote possibility that such study may perhaps provide insights (to whatever degree !) into the future table-top experiments in analogue gravity paradigm.

We examine the heuristic approach to constant gravitational field by Dehnen, H\"onl and Westpfahl, extending it everywhere beyond linear approximation. Then it becomes flexible to accommodate possible modifications of General Relativity. We have found that two pictures introduced in the related paper by Thirring are helpful in better understanding some features of gravitation. In particular, this approach suggest that the privileged system for constant gravitational field must be the isotropic one and that the requirement of gauge invariance in gravitation theory may be a luxury; it is sufficient to take care that the nonphysical degrees of freedom do not invalidate calculations. It follows from this approach that gravitational constant should depend on gravitational field and some universality in the form of metric of an asymmetric body is suggested.

A class of cosmological solutions of higher dimensional Einstein field equations with the energy-momentum tensor of a homogeneous, isotropic fluid as the source are considered with an anisotropic metric that includes the direct sum of a 3-dimensional (physical, flat) external space metric and an n-dimensional (compact, flat) internal space metric. A simple kinematical constraint is postulated that correlates the expansion rates of the external and internal spaces in terms of a real parameter {\lambda}. A specific solution for which both the external and internal spaces expand at different rates is given analytically for n=3. Assuming that the internal dimensions were at Planck length scales when the external space starts with a Big Bang (t=0), they expand only 1.49 times and stay at Planck length scales even in the present age of the universe (13.7 Gyr). The effective four dimensional universe would exhibit a behavior consistent with our current understanding of the observed universe. It would start in a stiff fluid dominated phase and evolve through radiation dominated and pressureless matter dominated phases, eventually going into a de Sitter phase at late times.

The Hawking--Page phase transitions of the $d$-dimensional Schwarzschild and charged black holes are explored in a cavity. The phase transition temperature $T_{\rm HP}$, the minimum black hole temperature $T_0$, and the Gibbs free energy $G$ are systematically calculated. A dual relation for the Schwarzschild black holes in the anti-de Sitter space, $T_{\rm HP}(d)=T_0(d+1)$, is found to be also approximately valid in the cavity case to a high precision, and this relation can be further generalized to the charged black holes in a suitable form. Our work reveals the universal properties of the black holes in different extended phase spaces and motivates further studies on their thermodynamic behaviors that are sensitive to specific boundary conditions, like the terminal points in the $G$--$T$ curves.

A one-parameter deformation of Einstein?Hilbert gravity with an inverse Riemann curvature term is derived as the classical limit of quantum gravity compatible with an accelerating universe.

A one-parameter deformation of Einstein?Hilbert gravity with an inverse Riemann curvature term is derived as the classical limit of quantum gravity compatible with an accelerating universe. This result is based on the investigation of semi-classical theories with sectional curvature bounds which are shown not to admit static spherically symmetric black holes if otherwise of phenomenological interest. We discuss the impact on the canonical quantization of gravity, and observe that worldsheet string theory is not affected.

This work deals with the motion of a radially falling star in Schwarzschild geometry and correctly identifies radiation reaction terms by the perturbative method. The results are: i) identification of all terms up to first order in perturbations, second in trajectory deviation, and mixed terms including lowest order radiation reaction terms; ii) renormalisation of all divergent terms by the $\zeta$ Riemann and Hurwitz functions. The work implements a method previously identified by one of the authors and corrects some current misconceptions and results.

In recent few years, the Gauss-Bonnet $f(\mathcal{G},\mathrm{\textit{T}})$ theory of gravity has fascinated considerable researchers owing to its coupling of trace of the stress-energy tensor $T$ with the Gauss-Bonnet term $\mathcal{G}$. In this context, we focuss ourselves to study bouncing universe with in $f(\mathcal{G},\mathrm{\textit{T}})$ gravity background. Some important preliminaries are presented along with the discussion of cosmological parameters to develop a minimal background about $f(\mathcal{G},\mathrm{\textit{T}})$ theory of gravity. The exact bouncing solutions with physical analysis are provided with the choice of two equation of state parameters. It is shown that the results do agree with the present values of deceleration, jerk and snap parameters. Moreover, it is concluded that the model parameters are quite important for the validity of conservation equation (as the matter coupled theories do not obey the usual conservation law).

In this work, we examine the optical behaviors and thermodynamic phase structures using shadow analysis for four $\mathbb{S}\mathbb{T}\mathbb{U}$ black holes. The study is conducted for four cases of charge configurations on the parameter space $\mathcal{M}\left(q_1,q_2,q_3,q_4\right)$. As a matter of fact, both the electric charge as a parameter and the parameter space $\mathcal{M}\left(q_1,q_2,q_3,q_4\right)$ affect the geometry of the black hole shadow, particularly the size of the shadow. We also introduce a constraint on the charge of the black hole from the observational results of the M87$^\star$ {\color{black}and Sgr A$^\star$} shadow. Furthermore, we show that the electric charge and the parameter space $\mathcal{M}\left(q_1,q_2,q_3,q_4\right)$ have a non-trivial impact on the variation of the energy emission rate. Interestingly enough, we find novel scenarios in which the evaporation is slower, which causes the lifetime of the black holes to be considerably elongated. On the other side, the phase structure of four $\mathbb{S}\mathbb{T}\mathbb{U}$ black holes is explored for two cases of electric charge configuration. The findings show a perfect correlation between the shadow and event horizon radii. This correlation is, in fact, helpful in discovering the phase transition in terms of the shadow radius. In addition, the microstructure is being analyzed in terms of shadow analysis, providing similar behavior to the ordinary situation of the Ruppeiner formalism.

We consider Friedmann-like universes with torsion and take a step towards studying their stability. In so doing, we apply dynamical-system techniques to an autonomous system of differential equations, which monitors the evolution of these models via the associated density parameters. Assuming relatively weak torsion, we identify the system's equilibrium points. These are found to represent homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes with nonzero torsion that undergo accelerated expansion. We then examine the linear stability of the aforementioned fixed points. Our results indicate that Friedmann-like cosmologies with weak torsion are generally stable attractors, either asymptotically or in the Lyapunov sense. In addition, depending on the equation of state of the matter, the equilibrium states can also act as intermediate saddle points, marking a transition from a torsional to a torsion-free universe.

Recently, we have investigated the dynamics of the universe in tachyon cosmology with non-minimal coupling to matter \cite{faraj}-\cite{faraj3}. In particular, for the interacting holographic dark energy (IHDE), the model is studied in \cite{Ravanpak}. In the current work, a significant observational program has been conducted to unveil the model's thermodynamic properties. Our result shows that the IHDE version of our model better fits the observational data than $\Lambda$CDM model. The first and generalized second thermodynamics laws for the universe enveloped by cosmological apparent and event horizon are revisited. From the results, both first and generalized second laws, constrained by the observational data, are satisfied on cosmological apparent horizon.In addition, the total entropy is verified with the observation only if the horizon of the universe is taken as apparent horizon. Then, due to validity of generalized second law, the current cosmic acceleration is also predicted.

We discuss the motion of extended objects in a spacetime by considering a gravitational field created by these objects. We define multipole moments of the objects as a classification by Lie group SO(3). Then, we construct an energy-momentum tensor for the objects and derive equations of motion from it. As a result, we reproduce the Papapetrou equations for a spinning particle. Furthermore, we will show that we can obtain more simple equations than the Papapetrou equations by changing the center-of-mass.

We construct black hole solutions with spin-induced scalarization in a class of models where a scalar field is quadratically coupled to the topological Gauss-Bonnet term. Starting from the tachyonically unstable Kerr solutions, we obtain families of scalarized black holes such that the scalar field has either even or odd parity, and we investigate their domain of existence. The scalarized black holes can violate the Kerr rotation bound. We identify "critical" families of scalarized black hole solutions such that the expansion of the metric functions and of the scalar field at the horizon no longer allows for real coefficients. For the quadratic coupling considered here, solutions with spin-induced scalarization are entropically favored over Kerr solutions with the same mass and angular momentum.

A generic feature of nearly out-of-equilibrium dissipative systems is that they resonate through a set of quasinormal modes. Black holes - the absorbing objects par excellence - are no exception. When formed in a merger, black holes vibrate in a process called "ringdown", which leaves the gravitational-wave footprint of the event horizon. In some models of quantum gravity which attempt to solve the information-loss paradox and the singularities of General Relativity, black holes are replaced by regular, horizonless objects with a tiny effective reflectivity. Motivated by these scenarios, here we develop a generic framework to the study of the ringdown of a compact object with various shades of darkness. By extending the black-hole membrane paradigm, we map the interior of any compact object in terms of the bulk and shear viscosities of a fictitious fluid located at the surface, with the black-hole limit being a single point in a three-dimensional parameter space. We unveil some remarkable features of the ringdown and some universal properties of the light ring in this framework. We also identify the region of the parameter space which can be probed by current and future gravitational-wave detectors. A general feature is the appearance of mode doublets which are degenerate only in the black-hole limit. We argue that the merger event GW150914 already imposes a strong lower bound on the compactness of the merger remnant of approximately 99% of the black-hole compactness. This places model-independent constraints on black-hole alternatives such as diffuse "fuzzballs" and nonlocal stars.

The $f(R,T)$ gravity is a model whose action contains an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$. We consider the separable model $f (R, T ) = \chi(R) + \varphi(T )$ and shown that, for perfect fluids, the dynamical equations are sufficient to determine how $\varphi$ depends on $T$, independently of the matter state equation and the geometry of space-time. Imposing the energy-momentum tensor conservation we obtain that $\varphi$ must be linear in $T$. However, the $T$ dependence is severely constrained using the full Will-Nordtvedt version of the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism. The result of the PPN analysis is discussed and in addition it is shown that the diffeomorphism invariance of the matter action imposes strong constraints on conservative versions of $f(R,T)$ gravity.

Lorentz symmetry (LS), one of the most fundamental physical symmetries, has been extensively studied in the context of quantum gravity and unification theories. Many of these theories predict a LS violation, which could arise from the discreteness of spacetime, or extra dimensions. Standard-model extension (SME) is an effective field theory to describe Lorentz violation whose effects can be explored using precision instruments such as atomic clocks and gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. Considering the pure-gravity sector and matter-gravity coupling sector in the SME, we studied the leading Lorentz-violating modifications to the time delay of light and the relativistic frequency shift of the clock in the space-based GW detectors. We found that the six data streams from the GW mission can construct various combinations of measurement signals, such as single-arm round-trip path, interference path, triangular round-trip path, etc. These measurements are sensitive to the different combinations of SME coefficients and provide novel linear combinations of SME coefficients different from previous studies. Based on the orbits of TianQin, LISA, and Taiji missions, we calculated the response of Lorentz-violating effects on the combinations of the measurement signal data streams. Our results allow us to estimate the sensitivities for SME coefficients: $10^{-6}$ for the gravity sector coefficient $\bar{s}^{TT}$, $10^{-6}$ for matter-gravity coupling coefficients $(\bar{a}^{(e+p)}_{\text{eff}})_{T}$ and $\bar{c}^{(e+p)}_{TT}$, and $10^{-5}$ for $(\bar{a}^{n}_{\text{eff}})_{T}$ and $\bar{c}^{n}_{TT}$.

The energetic causal set (ECS) program of Cort\^es and Smolin, whose distinguishing feature is the foundational time irreversibility of the evolution equations of quantum gravity, was initiated ten years ago. The model showed the emergence of a time-reversible phase from the time-irreversible foundational regime, but originally only had one spatial dimension. The extension to two and more spatial dimensions has posed a substantial challenge, the higher-dimensional set of solutions having measure zero (requiring infinitely-specified initial conditions). This challenge is overcome here with the extension of the ECS to 2+1 dimensions, invoking a finite interaction cross-section to determine generation of new events and including an adjustable fundamental stochasticity. As in the 1+1 dimensional case, we successfully observe a phase transition into a time-symmetric phase, here through the emergence of crystal-like structures. Due to the irreversible evolution we also witness the discrete dynamical systems behaviour of the 1d+1 case explored in later articles of the ECS program, in which the model is captured in and out of the limit cycles which here take the form of lattice crystals. In a companion paper we carry out a detailed parameter investigation and study the causal network underlying the set, explaining the emergence of the time-symmetric phase. In a final section we propose a view of science as a (potential) unifier of threads, and present one such perspective unifying aspects of quantum gravity, biology, and artificial general intelligence (AGI).

As in the 1+1 dimensional case, we successfully observe a phase transition into a time-symmetric phase, here through the emergence of crystal-like structures. Due to the irreversible evolution we also witness the discrete dynamical systems behaviour of the 1d+1 case explored in later articles of the ECS program, in which the model is captured in and out of the limit cycles which here take the form of lattice crystals. In a companion paper we carry out a detailed parameter investigation and study the causal network underlying the set, explaining the emergence of the time-symmetric phase. In a final section we propose a view of science as a (potential) unifier of threads, and present one such perspective unifying aspects of quantum gravity, biology, and artificial general intelligence (AGI).

In this paper we present the equations of the evolution of the universe in $D$ spatial dimensions, as a generalization of the work of Lima \citep{lima}. We discuss the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological equations in $D$ spatial dimensions for a simple fluid with equation of state $p=\omega_{D}\rho$. It is possible to reduce the multidimensional equations to the equation of a point particle system subject to a linear force. This force can be expressed as an oscillator equation, anti-oscillator or a free particle equation, depending on the $k$ parameter of the spatial curvature. An interesting result is the independence on the dimension $D$ in a de Sitter evolution. We also stress the generality of this procedure with a cosmological $\Lambda$ term. A more interesting result is that the reduction of the dimensionality leads naturally to an accelerated expansion of the scale factor in the plane case.

Based on the CR formalism of algebraically special spacetimes by Hill, Lewandowski and Nurowski, we derive a nonlinear system of two real ODEs, of which the general solution determines a twisting type II (or more special) vacuum spacetime with two Killing vectors (commuting or not) and at most seven real parameters in addition to the cosmological constant Lambda. To demonstrate a broad range of interesting spacetimes that these ODEs can capture, special solutions of various Petrov types are presented and described as they appear in this approach. They include Kerr-NUT, Kerr and Debney/Demia\'{n}ski's type II, Lun's type II and III (subclasses of Held-Robinson), MacCallum and Siklos' type III (Lambda<0), and the type N solutions (Lambda<>0) we found in an earlier paper, along with a new class of type II solutions as a nontrivial limit of Kerr and Debney's type II solutions. Also, we discuss a situation in which the two ODEs can be reduced to one. However, constructing the general solution still remains an open problem.

We study the evolution of two fiducial configurations for binary neutron stars using two different general relativistic hydrodynamics(GRHD), distributed adaptive mesh codes. One code, HAD, has for many years been used to study mergers of compact object binaries, while a new code, MHDuet, has been recently developed with the experience gained with the older one as well as several novel features for scalability improvements. As such, we examine the performance of each, placing particular focus on future requirements for the extraction of gravitational wave signatures of non-vacuum binaries.

Orbital eccentricity in compact binaries is considered to be a key tracer of their astrophysical origin, and can be inferred from gravitational-wave observations due to its imprint on the emitted signal. For a robust measurement, accurate waveform models are needed. However, ambiguities in the definition of eccentricity can obfuscate the physical meaning and result in seemingly discrepant measurements. In this work we present a suite of 28 new numerical relativity simulations of eccentric, aligned-spin binary black holes with mass ratios between 1 and 6 and initial post-Newtonian eccentricities between 0.05 and 0.3. We then develop a robust pipeline for measuring the eccentricity evolution as a function of frequency from gravitational-wave observables that is applicable even to signals that span at least $\gtrsim 7$ orbits. We assess the reliability of our procedure and quantify its robustness under different assumptions on the data. Using the eccentricity measured at the first apastron, we initialise effective-one-body waveforms and quantify how the precision in the eccentricity measurement, and therefore the choice of the initial conditions, impacts the agreement with the numerical data. We find that even small deviations in the initial eccentricity can lead to non-negligible differences in the phase and amplitude of the waveforms. However, we demonstrate that we can reliably map the eccentricities between the simulation data and analytic models, which is crucial for robustly building eccentric hybrid waveforms, and to improve the accuracy of eccentric waveform models in the strong-field regime.

We examine the appearance of a fifth force as an effect caused by the extra dimension and discuss two different approaches to the fifth force formalism. We then give two examples of application of both approaches by considering the case of a Ricci-flat warped-product manifold and a generalized Randall-Sundrum space.

We prove in this paper the linear stability of the celebrated Schwarzschild family of black holes in general relativity: Solutions to the linearisation of the Einstein vacuum equations around a Schwarzschild metric arising from regular initial data remain globally bounded on the black hole exterior and in fact decay to a linearised Kerr metric. We express the equations in a suitable double null gauge. To obtain decay, one must in fact add a residual pure gauge solution which we prove to be itself quantitatively controlled from initial data. Our result a fortiori includes decay statements for general solutions of the Teukolsky equation (satisfied by gauge-invariant null-decomposed curvature components). These latter statements are in fact deduced in the course of the proof by exploiting associated quantities shown to satisfy the Regge--Wheeler equation, for which appropriate decay can be obtained easily by adapting previous work on the linear scalar wave equation. The bounds on the rate of decay to linearised Kerr are inverse polynomial, suggesting that dispersion is sufficient to control the non-linearities of the Einstein equations in a potential future proof of nonlinear stability. This paper is self-contained and includes a physical-space derivation of the equations of linearised gravity around Schwarzschild from the full non-linear Einstein vacuum equations expressed in a double null gauge.

The gravitational field of supermassive black holes is able to strongly bend light rays emitted by nearby sources. When the deflection angle exceeds $\pi$, gravitational lensing can be analytically approximated by the so-called strong deflection limit. In this paper we remove the conventional assumption of sources very far from the black hole, considering the distance of the source as an additional parameter in the lensing problem to be treated exactly. We find expressions for critical curves, caustics and all lensing observables valid for any position of the source up to the horizon. After analyzing the spherically symmetric case we focus on the Kerr black hole, for which we present an analytical 3-dimensional description of the higher order caustic tubes.

It reviews some work on the quantum collapse of the spherically symmetric gravitating thin shell of zero rest mass. Recent results on Kucha\v{r} decomposition are applied. The constructed version of quantum mechanics is unitary, although the shell falls under its Schwarzschild radius if its energy is high enough. Rather that a permanent black hole, something like a transient black and white hole pair seems to be created in such a case.

A new method to constrain gravitational theories depending on the Ricci scalar is presented. It is based on the weak energy condition and yields limits on the parameters of a given theory through the current values of the derivatives of the scale factor of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry. A further constraint depending on the current value of the snap is also given. Actual constraints (and the corresponding error propagation analysis) are calculated for two examples, which show that the method is useful in limiting the possible $f(R)$ theories.

Consider a bipartite entangled system half of which falls through the event horizon of an evaporating black hole, while the other half remains coherently accessible to experiments in the exterior region. Beyond complete evaporation, the evolution of the quantum state past the Cauchy horizon cannot remain unitary, raising the questions: How can this evolution be described as a quantum map, and how is causality preserved? What are the possible effects of such nonstandard quantum evolution maps on the behavior of the entangled laboratory partner? More generally, the laws of quantum evolution under extreme conditions in remote regions (not just in evaporating black-hole interiors, but possibly near other naked singularities and regions of extreme spacetime structure) remain untested by observation, and might conceivably be non-unitary or even nonlinear, raising the same questions about the evolution of entangled states. The answers to these questions are subtle, and are linked in unexpected ways to the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. We show that terrestrial experiments can be designed to probe and constrain exactly how the laws of quantum evolution might be altered, either by black-hole evaporation, or by other extreme processes in remote regions possibly governed by unknown physics.

The behaviors of null geodesics in the spherical symmetric black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theory with coupling function $f(\Phi)=e^{-2\alpha \Phi}$ are meticulously analyzed. We investigate the effects of coupling constant $\alpha$ on the effective potential of photon trajectories within three ranges, namely $0<\alpha <1$, $\alpha =1$ and $\alpha >1$. We find that the thicknesses of lensing and photon rings are smaller at larger $\alpha$ and fixed electric charge in the unit of mass $q$, whereas they are larger at fixed $\alpha$ and larger $q$. Remarkably, the behaviors of photon trajectories are found to be more interesting when $\alpha>1$. Namely, the radius of the black hole shadow $R_\text{s}$ becomes to be smaller than the photon sphere radius $r_\text{ph}$ when $\alpha > 1$ and $q>q^*$. Moreover, $R_\text{s}$ goes to zero as $q$ saturates the extremal limit, beyond which the photon orbit becomes absent. %This tends to be consistent with the result of Wilczek. Furthermore, we construct the optical appearance of black holes surrounded by optically and geometrically thin accretion disks with three emission models. Our results indicate that the observed flux originating from the lensing and photon rings exhibits suppression as $\alpha$ increases, while it undergoes amplification with the increasing parameter $q$.

In this paper, we study the shadow produced by rotating black holes with charge in the presence of an anisotropic matter field. We obtain the apparent shape and the corresponding observables characterizing the size, oblateness, and deviation of the center, for different values of the parameters of the model. We compare the new results with those corresponding to the Kerr-Newmann spacetime and we also discuss the observational prospects in this case.

In this paper we study the dynamics of {\it orthogonal spatially homogeneous} Bianchi cosmologies in $R^n$-gravity. We construct a compact state space by dividing the state space into different sectors. We perform a detailed analysis of the cosmological behaviour in terms of the parameter $n$, determining all the equilibrium points, their stability and corresponding cosmological evolution. In particular, the appropriately compactified state space allows us to investigate static and bouncing solutions. We find no Einstein static solutions, but there do exist cosmologies with bounce behaviours. We also investigate the isotropisation of these models and find that all isotropic points are flat Friedmann like.

Based on the mathematical similarity between the Friedman open metric and Godel's metric in the case of nearby distances, we investigate a new scenario for the Universe's evolution, where the present Friedman universe originates from a primordial Godel universe by a phase transition during which the cosmological constant vanishes. Using Hubble's constant and the present matter density as input, we show that the radius and density of the primordial Godel universe are close, in order of magnitude, to the present values, and that the time of expansion coincides with the age of the Universe in the standard Friedman model. In addition, the conservation of angular momentum provides, in this context, a possible origin for the rotation of galaxies, leading to a relation between the masses and spins corroborated by observational data.

We consider the formulation and some elaboration of p-adic and adelic quantum cosmology. The adelic generalization of the Hartle-Hawking proposal does not work in models with matter fields. p-Adic and adelic minisuperspace quantum cosmology is well defined as an ordinary application of p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics. It is illustrated by a few minisuperspace cosmological models in one, two and three minisuperspace dimensions. As a result of p-adic quantum effects and the adelic approach, these models exhibit some discreteness of the minisuperspace and cosmological constant. In particular, discreteness of the de Sitter space and its cosmological constant is emphasized.

If two particles move towards a black hole and collide in the vicinity of the horizon, under certain conditions their energy $E_{c.m.}$ in the center of mass frame can grow unbounded. This is the Ba\~{n}ados-Silk-West (BSW) effect. Usually, this effect is considered for extremal horizons and geodesic (or electrogedesic) trajectories. We study this effect in a more general context, when both geometric and dynamic factors are taken into account. We consider generic axially symmetric rotating black holes. The near-horizon behavior of metric coefficients is determined by three numbers $p,~q,$ $k$ that appear in the Taylor expansions for different types of a horizon$.$ This includes nonextremal, extremal and ultraextremal horizons. We also give general classification of possible trajectories that include so-called usual, subcritical, critical and ultracritical ones depending on the near-horizon behavior of the radial component of the four-velocity. We assume that particles move not freely but under the action of some unspecified force. We find when the finiteness of a force and the BSW effect are compatible with each other. The BSW effect implies that one of two particles has fine-tuned parameters. We show that such a particle always requires an infinite proper time for reaching the horizon. Otherwise, either a force becomes infinite or a horizon fails to be regular. This realizes the so-called principle of kinematic censorship that forbids literally infinite $E_{c.m.}$ in any act of collision. The obtained general results are illustrated for the Kerr-Newman-(anti-)de Sitter metric used as an example. The description of diversity of trajectories suggested in our work can be of use also in other contexts, beyond the BSW effect. In particular, we find the relation between a force and the type of a trajectory.

The teleparallel equivalent of higher order Lagrangians like $L_{\Box R}=-R+a_{0}R^{2}+a_{1}R\Box R$ can be obtained by means of the boundary term $B=2\nabla_{\mu}T^{\mu}$. In this perspective, we derive the field equations in presence of matter for higher-order teleparallel gravity considering, in particular, sixth-order theories where the $\Box$ operator is linearly included. In the weak field approximation, gravitational wave solutions for these theories are derived. Three states of polarization are found: the two standard $+$ and $\times$ polarizations, namely 2-helicity massless transverse tensor polarizations, and a 0-helicity massive, with partly transverse and partly longitudinal scalar polarization. Moreover, these gravitational waves exhibit four oscillation modes related to four degrees of freedom: the two classical $+$ and $\times$ tensor modes of frequency $\omega_{1}$, related to the standard Einstein waves with $k^{2}_{1}=0$; two mixed longitudinal-transverse scalar modes for each frequencies $\omega_{2}$ and $\omega_{3}$, related to two different 4-wave vectors, $k^{2}_{2}=M_{2}^{2}$ and $k^{2}_{3}=M^{2}_{3}$. The four degrees of freedom are the amplitudes of each individual mode, i.e. $\hat{\epsilon}^{(+)}\left(\omega_{1}\right)$, $\hat{\epsilon}^{(\times)}\left(\omega_{1}\right)$, $\hat{B}_{2}\left(\mathbf{k}\right)$, and $\hat{B}_{3}\left(\mathbf{k}\right)$.

The full quantum mechanical collapse of a small relativistic dust shell is studied analytically, asymptotically and numerically starting from the exact finite dimensional classical reduced Hamiltonian recently derived by H\'aj{\'\i}\v{c}ek and Kucha\v{r}. The formulation of the quantum mechanics encounters two problems. The first is the multivalued nature of the Hamiltonian and the second is the construction of an appropriate self adjoint momentum operator in the space of the shell motion which is confined to a half line. The first problem is solved by identifying and neglecting orbits of small action in order to obtain a single valued Hamiltonian. The second problem is solved by introducing an appropriate lapse function. The resulting quantum mechanics is then studied by means of analytical and numerical techniques. We find that the region of total collapse has very small probability. We also find that the solution concentrates around the classical Schwarzschild radius. The present work obtains from first principles a quantum mechanics for the shell and provides numerical solutions, whose behavior is explained by a detailed WKB analysis for a wide class of collapsing shells.

A 4-dimensional relativistic positioning system for a general spacetime is constructed by using the so called "emission coordinates". The results apply in a small region around the world line of an accelerated observer carrying a Fermi triad, as described by the Fermi metric. In the case of a Schwarzschild spacetime modeling the gravitational field around the Earth and an observer at rest at a fixed spacetime point, these coordinates realize a relativistic positioning system alternative to the current GPS system. The latter is indeed essentially conceived as Newtonian, so that it necessarily needs taking into account at least the most important relativistic effects through Post-Newtonian corrections to work properly. Previous results concerning emission coordinates in flat spacetime are thus extended to this more general situation. Furthermore, the mapping between spacetime coordinates and emission coordinates is completely determined by means of the world function, which in the case of a Fermi metric can be explicitly obtained.

In order to find the correct theory of quantum gravity, one has to look for observational effects in any candidate theory. Here, we focus on canonical quantum gravity and calculate the quantum-gravitational contributions to the anisotropy spectrum of the cosmic microwave background that arise from a semiclassical approximation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. While the resulting modification of the power spectrum at large scales is too weak to be observable, we find an upper bound on the energy scale of inflation.

A cosmological model based on holographic scenarios is formulated in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. To formulate this model, the cosmological horizon is assumed to have a general entropy and a general temperature (including Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and Gibbons-Hawking temperature, respectively). In addition, a holographic-like connection [Eur. Phys. J. C 83, 690 (2023) (arXiv:2212.05822)] and Padmanabhan's holographic equipartition law are assumed for the entropy and temperature, and the Friedmann and acceleration equations are derived from these. The derived Friedmann and acceleration equations include both the entropy and the temperature and are slightly complicated, but can be combined into a single simple equation, corresponding to a similar equation that describes the background evolution of the universe in time-varying $\Lambda (t)$ cosmologies. The simple equation depends on the entropy but not on the temperature because the temperatures in the Friedmann and acceleration equations cancel each other. These results imply that the holographic-like connection should be consistent with Padmanabhan's holographic equipartition law through the present model and that the entropy plays a more important role. When the Gibbons-Hawking temperature is used as the temperature, the Friedmann and acceleration equations are found to be equivalent to those for a $\Lambda(t)$ model. A particular case of the present model is also examined, applying a power-law corrected entropy.

Noether's theorem identifies fundamental conserved quantities, called Noether charges, from a Hamiltonian. To-date Noether charges remain largely elusive within theories of gravity: We do not know how to directly measure them, and their physical interpretation remains unsettled in general spacetimes. Here we show that the surface gravity as naturally defined for a family of observers in arbitrarily dynamical spacetimes is a directly measurable Noether charge. This Noether charge reduces to the accepted value on stationary horizons, and, when integrated over a closed surface, yields an energy with the characteristics of gravitating mass.

Noether's theorem identifies fundamental conserved quantities, called Noether charges, from a Hamiltonian. To-date Noether charges remain largely elusive within theories of gravity: We do not know how to directly measure them, and their physical interpretation remains unsettled in general spacetimes. Here we show that the surface gravity as naturally defined for a family of observers in arbitrarily dynamical spacetimes is a directly measurable Noether charge. This Noether charge reduces to the accepted value on stationary horizons, and, when integrated over a closed surface, yields an energy with the characteristics of gravitating mass. Stokes' theorem then identifies the gravitating energy density as the time-component of a locally conserved Noether current in general spacetimes. Our conclusion, that this Noether charge is extractable from astronomical observations, holds the potential for determining the detailed distribution of the gravitating mass in galaxies, galaxy clusters and beyond.

In the present work we show that the widely believed pathology of the non-unitarity of anisotropic quantum cosmological models cannot be a generic problem. We exhibit a non trivial example, a Bianchi-I model with an ultrarelativistic fluid, that has a well behaved time independent norm. We also show that a suitable operator ordering should produce time independent norms for the wave packets in the case of other more realistic fluids as well.

We study black hole formation in the head-on collision of ultrarelativistic charges. The metric of charged particles is obtained by boosting the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime to the speed of light. Using the slice at the instant of collision, we study formation of the apparent horizon (AH) and derive a condition indicating that a critical value of the electric charge is necessary for formation to take place. Evaluating this condition for characteristic values at the LHC, we find that the presence of charge decreases the black hole production rate in accelerators. We comment on possible limitations of our approach.

The effect of gravitational wave of extremely low frequency on time delays between different locations on the Einstein ring in a lens system with an aligned source-deflector-observer configuration is investigated. The observer will observe an Einstein ring from the lens system aligned in a highly symmetric configuration. Time delays between different locations on the Einstein ring cannot emerge without gravitational wave of cosmological wavelength propagating through the lens system. Otherwise, different locations on the Einstein ring will show time delays. Our previous studies showed that time delays from different locations on the Einstein ring in the presence of gravitational wave of cosmological wavelength present a special relationship. But this result is limited to a specific aligned source-deflector-observer configuration where the source and the observer are equidistant from the deflector and the gravitational wave has special direction of propagation and polarization. In order to investigate the property in the general case, we extend to the general condition that the source and the observer aren't equidistant from the deflector and the direction and polarization of the gravitational wave is arbitrary in the present work. Results in this work show that time delays between different locations on the Einstein ring with the general condition present the same relationship as that in our previous studies.

We present a new algorithm for evolving orbiting black-hole binaries that does not require excision or a corotating shift. Our algorithm is based on a novel technique to handle the singular puncture conformal factor. This system, based on the BSSN formulation of Einstein's equations, when used with a `pre-collapsed' initial lapse, is non-singular at the start of the evolution, and remains non-singular and stable provided that a good choice is made for the gauge. As a test case, we use this technique to fully evolve orbiting black-hole binaries from near the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit (ISCO) regime. We show fourth order convergence of waveforms and compute the radiated gravitational energy and angular momentum from the plunge. These results are in good agreement with those predicted by the Lazarus approach.

The gravitational wave signal emitted during the coalescence of two neutron stars carries information about the stars' internal structure. During the long inspiral phase the main matter observable is the tidal interaction between the binary components, an effect that can be parametrically modeled with compact-binary solutions to General Relativity. After the binary merger the main observable is frequency modes of the remnant, most commonly giving rise to a short-duration signal accessible only through numerical simulations. The complicated morphology and the decreasing detector sensitivity in the relevant frequencies currently hinder detection of the post-merger signal and motivate separate analyses for the pre-merger and post-merger data. However, planned and ongoing detector improvements could soon put the post-merger signal within reach. In this study we target the whole pre-merger and post-merger signal without an artificial separation at the binary merger. We construct a hybrid analysis that models the inspiral with templates based on analytical calculations and calibrated to numerical relativity and the post-merger signal with a flexible morphology-independent analysis. Applying this analysis to GW170817 we find, as expected, that the post-merger signal remains undetected. We further study simulated signals and find that we can reconstruct the full signal and simultaneously estimate both the pre-merger tidal deformation and the post-merger signal frequency content. Our analysis allows us to study neutron star physics using all the data available and directly test the pre-merger and post-merger signal for consistency thus probing effects such as the onset of the hadron-quark phase transition.

The recent detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from the neutron star binary inspiral GW170817 has opened a unique avenue to probe matter and fundamental interactions in previously unexplored regimes. Extracting information on neutron star matter from the observed GWs requires robust and computationally efficient theoretical waveform models. We develop an approximate frequency-domain GW phase model of a main GW signature of matter: dynamic tides associated with the neutron stars' fundamental oscillation modes ($f$-modes). We focus on nonspinning objects on circular orbits and demonstrate that, despite its mathematical simplicity, the new "$f$-mode tidal" (fmtidal) model is in good agreement with the effective-one-body dynamical tides model up to GW frequencies of $\gtrsim 1$ kHz and gives physical meaning to part of the phenomenology captured in tidal models tuned to numerical-relativity. The advantages of the fmtidal model are that it makes explicit the dependence of the GW phasing on the characteristic equation-of-state parameters, i.e., tidal deformabilities and $f$-mode frequencies; it is computationally efficient; and it can readily be added to any frequency-domain baseline waveform. The fmtidal model is easily amenable to future improvements and provides the means for a first step towards independently measuring additional fundamental properties of neutron star matter beyond the tidal deformability as well as performing novel tests of general relativity from GW observations.

In the paper we check whether the contribution of $(-)(1+z)^6$ type in the Friedmann equation can be tested. We consider some astronomical tests to constrain the density parameters in such models. We describe different interpretations of such an additional term: geometric effects of Loop Quantum Cosmology, effects of braneworld cosmological models, non-standard cosmological models in metric-affine gravity, and models with spinning fluid. Kinematical (or geometrical) tests based on null geodesics are insufficient to separate individual matter components when they behave like perfect fluid and scale in the same way. Still, it is possible to measure their overall effect. We use recent measurements of the coordinate distances from the Fanaroff-Riley type IIb (FRIIb) radio galaxy (RG) data, supernovae type Ia (SNIa) data, baryon oscillation peak and cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) observations to obtain stronger bounds for the contribution of the type considered. We demonstrate that, while $\rho^2$ corrections are very small, they can be tested by astronomical observations -- at least in principle. Bayesian criteria of model selection (the Bayesian factor, AIC, and BIC) are used to check if additional parameters are detectable in the present epoch. As it turns out, the $\Lambda$CDM model is favoured over the bouncing model driven by loop quantum effects. Or, in other words, the bounds obtained from cosmography are very weak, and from the point of view of the present data this model is indistinguishable from the $\Lambda$CDM one.

A general definition of a black hole is given, and general `laws of black-hole dynamics' derived. The definition involves something similar to an apparent horizon, a trapping horizon, defined as a hypersurface foliated by marginal surfaces of one of four non-degenerate types, described as future or past, and outer or inner. If the boundary of an inextendible trapped region is suitably regular, then it is a (possibly degenerate) trapping horizon. The future outer trapping horizon provides the definition of a black hole. Outer marginal surfaces have spherical or planar topology. Trapping horizons are null only in the instantaneously stationary case, and otherwise outer trapping horizons are spatial and inner trapping horizons are Lorentzian. Future outer trapping horizons have non-decreasing area form, constant only in the null case---the `second law'. A definition of the trapping gravity of an outer trapping horizon is given, generalizing surface gravity. The total trapping gravity of a compact outer marginal surface has an upper bound, attained if and only if the trapping gravity is constant---the `zeroth law'. The variation of the area form along an outer trapping horizon is determined by the trapping gravity and an energy flux---the `first law'.

A general definition of a black hole is given, and general `laws of black-hole dynamics' derived. The definition involves something similar to an apparent horizon, a trapping horizon, defined as a hypersurface foliated by marginal surfaces of one of four non-degenerate types, described as future or past, and outer or inner. If the boundary of an inextendible trapped region is suitably regular, then it is a (possibly degenerate) trapping horizon. The future outer trapping horizon provides the definition of a black hole. Outer marginal surfaces have spherical or planar topology. Trapping horizons are null only in the instantaneously stationary case, and otherwise outer trapping horizons are spatial and inner trapping horizons are Lorentzian. Future outer trapping horizons have non-decreasing area form, constant only in the null case---the `second law'. A definition of the trapping gravity of an outer trapping horizon is given, generalizing surface gravity. The total trapping gravity of a compact outer marginal surface has an upper bound, attained if and only if the trapping gravity is constant---the `zeroth law'. The variation of the area form along an outer trapping horizon is determined by the trapping gravity and an energy flux---the `first law'.

The absence of gravitational radiation in Kinnersley's ``photon rocket'' solution of Einstein's equations is clarified by studying the mathematically well-defined problem of point-like photon rockets in Minkowski space (i.e. massive particles emitting null fluid anisotro\-pically and accelerating because of the recoil). We explicitly compute the (uniquely defined) {\it linearized} retarded gravitational waves emitted by such objects, which are the coherent superposition of the gravitational waves generated by the motion of the massive point-like rocket and of those generated by the energy-momentum distribution of the photon fluid. In the special case (corresponding to Kinnersley's solution) where the anisotropy of the photon emission is purely dipolar we find that the gravitational wave amplitude generated by the energy-momentum of the photons exactly cancels the usual $1/r$ gravitational wave amplitude generated by the accelerated motion of the rocket. More general photon anisotropies would, however, generate genuine gravitational radiation at infinity. Our explicit calculations show the compatibility between the non-radiative character of Kinnersley's solution and the currently used gravitational wave generation formalisms based on post-Minkowskian perturbation theory.

We investigate the cosmic acceleration and the evolution of dark energy across the cosmological constant boundary in universal extra dimensions UED. We adopt an empirical approach to solve the higher-dimensional cosmological equations so that the deceleration parameter $q$ is consistent with observations. The expressions for the jerk and deceleration parameters are independent of the number of dimensions $n$. The behavior of pressure in $4$D shows a positive-to-negative transition corresponding to the deceleration-to-acceleration cosmic transition. This pressure behavior helps in providing an explanation to the cosmic deceleration-acceleration transition although the reason behind the transition itself remains unknown. In the conventional $4$D cosmology, there is a no-go theorem prevents the EoS parameter of a single perfect fluid in FRW geometry to cross the $\omega=-1$ boundary. The current model includes a single homogenous but anisotropic perfect fluid in a homogenous FRW metric with two different scale factors in the ordinary $4$D and the UED. In contrast to the conventional $4$D cosmology, we have found that the dark energy evolution in UED shows $\omega=-1$ crossing. however, the no-go theorem is still respected in $4$D where the EoS parameter doesn't cross the $\omega=-1$ boundary.

We perform the point-splitting regularization on the vacuum stress tensor of a coupling scalar field in de Sitter space under the guidance from the adiabatically regularized Green's function. For the massive scalar field with the minimal coupling $\xi=0$, the 2nd order point-splitting regularization yields a finite vacuum stress tensor with a positive, constant energy density, which can be identified as the cosmological constant that drives de Sitter inflation. For the coupling $\xi\ne 0$, we find that, even if the regularized Green's function is continuous, UV and IR convergent, the point-splitting regularization does not automatically lead to an appropriate stress tensor. The coupling $\xi R$ causes log divergent terms, as well as higher-order finite terms which depend upon the path of the coincidence limit. After removing these unwanted terms by extra treatments, the 2nd-order regularization for small couplings $\xi \in(0,\frac{1}{7.04})$, and respectively the 0th-order regularization for the conformal coupling $\xi=\frac16$, yield a finite, constant vacuum stress tensor, in analogy to the case $\xi=0$. For the massless field with $\xi=0$ or $\xi=\frac16$, the point-splitting regularization yields a vanishing vacuum stress tensor, and there is no conformal trace anomaly for $\xi=\frac16$. If the 4th-order regularization were taken, the regularized energy density for general $\xi$ would be negative, which is inconsistent with the de Sitter inflation, and the regularized Green's function would be singular at the zero mass, which is unphysical. In all these cases, the stress tensor from the point-splitting regularization is equal to that from the adiabatic one.

We consider an equation of state which corresponds to quasi-de Sitter expansion and investigate the effect of anisotropy parameter for different values of deviation parameter. We evaluate potential models like linear, quadratic and quartic which correspond to chaotic inflation. We construct the observational parameters for power-law model of $f(R)$ gravity and construct the graphical analysis of tensor-scalar ratio and spectral index which indicates consistency of these parameters with Planck 2015 data.

We have analyzed schematically all these three sets of solutions related to electromagnetic mass models by plotting graphs and shown that they can pass through all the physical tests performed by us. To validate these special type of solutions related to electromagnetic mass models a comparison has been done with that of compact stars and shown exclusively the feasibility of the models.

We give a brief overview of a non-Lagrangian approach to field theory based on a generalization of the Kerr-Penrose theorem and algebraic twistor equations. Explicit algorithms for obtaining the set of fundamental (Maxwell, SL(2, C)-Yang-Mills, spinor Weyl and curvature) fields associated with every solution of the basic system of algebraic equations are reviewed. The notion of a boost-invariant solution is introduced, and the unique axially-symmetric and boost-invariant solution which can be generated by twistor functions is obtained, together with the associated fields. It is found that this solution possesses a wide variety of point-, string- and membrane-like singularities exhibiting nontrivial dynamics and transmutations.

We consider the 3-dimensional formulation of Einstein's theory for spacetimes possessing a non-null Killing field $\xi^a$. It is known that for the vacuum case some of the basic field equations are deducible from the others. It will be shown here how this result can be generalized for the case of essentially arbitrary matter fields. The systematic study of the structure of the fundamental field equations is carried out. In particular, the existence of geometrically preferred reference systems is shown. Using local coordinates of this type two approaches are presented resulting resolvent systems of partial differential equations for the basic field variables. Finally, the above results are applied for perfect fluid spacetimes describing possible equilibrium configurations of relativistic dissipative fluids.

A Hayward black hole and magnetically charged black hole based on rational nonlinear electrodynamics with the Lagrangian ${\cal L} = -{\cal F}/(1+2\beta{\cal F})$ (${\cal F}$ is a field invariant) are considered. It was shown that the metric function in both models possesses a de Sitter core without singularities as $r\rightarrow 0$. The behavior of the Hawking temperature and the heat capacity in these models are similar. The phase transitions take place when the Hawking temperature has a maximum, and black holes are thermodynamically stable at some event horizon radii when the heat capacity is positive. We show that the source of gravity in the Hayward model is questionable.

The QCD axion is a hypothetical particle motivated by the Strong CP problem of particle physics. One of the primary ways in which its existence can be inferred is via its function as an additional cooling channel in stars, with some of the strongest constraints coming from the supernova observation SN1987A. Multimessenger observations of binary neutron star mergers (such as those of GW170817, AT2017gfo, and GRB170817A) may provide another scenario in which such constraints could be obtained. In particular, the axion could potentially alter the lifetime, the ejection of material, and the emitted gravitational wave signal of the postmerger remnant. In this article, we perform numerical relativity simulations of a binary neutron star merger, including a phenomenological description of the nucleon-nucleon-axion bremsstrahlung to quantify the effects of such a cooling channel on the dynamical evolution. While our simulations show a difference in the temperature profile of the merger remnant, the imprint of the axion via nucleon-nucleon-axion bremsstrahlung on the emitted gravitational wave signal and the ejecta mass is too small to improve constraints on the axion mass with current or future planned detectors. Whilst we consider a limited number of cases, and a simplified cooling model, these broadly represent the "best case" scenario, thus, a more thorough investigation is unlikely to change the conclusions, at least for this particular interaction channel.

Stationary extended frames in general relativity are considered. The requirement of stationarity allows to treat the spacetime as a principal fiber bundle over the one-dimensional group of time translations. Over this bundle a connection form establishes the simultaneity between neighboring events accordingly with the Einstein synchronization convention. The mathematics involved is that of gauge theories where a gauge choice is interpreted as a global simultaneity convention. Then simultaneity in non-stationary frames is investigated: it turns to be described by a gauge theory in a fiber bundle without structure group, the curvature being given by the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket of the connection. The Bianchi identity of this gauge theory is a differential relation between the vorticity field and the acceleration field. In order for the simultaneity connection to be principal, a necessary and sufficient condition on the 4-velocity of the observers is given.

Cosmology and particle physics are deeply interrelated. Among the common problems are dark energy, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We discuss these problems in general terms, and concentrate on several particular hypotheses. On the dark matter side, we consider weakly interacting massive particles and axions/axion-like particles as cold dark matter, sterile neutrinos and gravitinos as warm dark matter. On the baryon asymmetry side, we discuss electroweak baryogenesis as a still-viable mechanism. We briefly describe diverse experimental and observational approaches towards checking these hypotheses. We then turn to the earliest cosmology. We give arguments showing that the hot stage was preceded by another epoch at which density perturbations and possibly primordial gravity waves were generated. The best guess here is inflation, which is consistent with everything we know of density perturbations, but there are alternative scenarios. Future measurements of the properties of density perturbations and possible discovery of primordial gravity waves have strong potential in this regard.

We discuss the possibility that spacetime geometry may be an emergent phenomenon. This idea has been motivated by the Analogue Gravity programme. These are systems where the kinematics of small perturbations are dominated by an effective gravitational field. In these models there is no obvious connection between the "gravitational" field tensor and the Einstein equations, as the emergent spacetime geometry arises as a consequence of linearising around some classical field. After a brief introduction on this topic, we present our recent contributions to the field.

For a certain type of modified dispersion relations, the vacuum quantum state for very short wavelength cosmological perturbations is scale-invariant and it has been suggested that this may be the source of the scale-invariance observed in the temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. We point out that for this scenario to be possible, it is necessary to redshift these short wavelength modes to cosmological scales in such a way that the scale-invariance is not lost. This requires non-trivial background dynamics before the onset of standard radiation-dominated cosmology; we demonstrate that one possible solution is inflation with a sufficiently large Hubble rate, for this slow roll is not necessary. In addition, we also show that if the slow-roll condition is added to inflation with a large Hubble rate, then for any power law modified dispersion relation quantum vacuum fluctuations become nearly scale-invariant when they exit the Hubble radius.

We investigate the transmission of both classical and quantum information between two arbitrary observers in globally hyperbolic spacetimes using a quantum field as a communication channel. The field is supposed to be in some arbitrary quasifree state and no choice of representation of its canonical commutation relations is made. Both sender and receiver possess some localized two-level quantum system with which they can interact with the quantum field to prepare the input and receive the output of the channel, respectively. The interaction between the two-level systems and the quantum field is such that one can trace out the field degrees of freedom exactly and thus obtain the quantum channel in a nonperturbative way. We end the paper determining the unassisted as well as the entanglement-assisted classical and quantum channel capacities.
