In the context of General Relativity (GR), violation of the null energy condition (NEC) is necessary for existence of static spherically symmetric wormhole solutions. Also, it is a well-known fact that the energy conditions are violated by certain quantum fields, such as the Casimir effect. The magnitude and sign of the Casimir energy depend on Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions and geometrical configuration of the objects involved in a Casimir setup. The Casimir energy may act as an ideal candidate for the matter that supports the wormhole geometry. In the present work, we firstly find traversable wormhole solutions supported by a general form for the Casimir energy density assuming a constant redshift function. As well, in this framework, assuming that the radial pressure and energy density obey a linear equation of state, we derive for the first time Casimir traversable wormhole solutions admitting suitable shape function. Then, we consider three geometric configurations of the Casimir effect such as (i) two parallel plates, (ii) two parallel cylindrical shells, and (iii) two spheres. We study wormhole solutions for each case and their property in detail. We also check the weak and strong energy conditions in the spacetime for the obtained wormhole solutions. The stability of the Casimir traversable wormhole solutions are investigated using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation. Finally, we study trajectory of null as well as timelike particles in the wormhole spacetime.

Combining deeper insight of Einstein's equations with sophisticated numerical techniques promises the ability to construct accurate numerical implementations of these equations. We illustrate this in two examples, the numerical evolution of ``bubble'' and single black hole spacetimes. The former is chosen to demonstrate how accurate numerical solutions can answer open questions and even reveal unexpected phenomena. The latter illustrates some of the difficulties encountered in three-dimensional black hole simulations, and presents some possible remedies.

We study binary spinning black holes to display the long term individual spin dynamics. We perform a full numerical simulation starting at an initial proper separation of $d\approx25M$ between equal mass holes and evolve them down to merger for nearly 48 orbits, 3 precession cycles, and half of a flip-flop cycle. The simulation lasts for $t=20000M$ and displays a total change in the orientation of the spin of one of the black holes from initially aligned with the orbital angular momentum to a complete anti-alignment after half of a flip-flop cycle. We compare this evolution with an integration of the 3.5 Post-Newtonian equations of motion and spin evolution to show that this process continuously flip-flops the spin during the lifetime of the binary until merger. We also provide lower order analytic expressions for the maximum flip-flop angle and frequency. We discuss the effects this dynamics may have on spin growth in accreting binaries and on the observational consequences for galactic and supermassive binary black holes.

The Noble Prize in physics 2016 motivates one to study different aspects of topological properties and topological defects as their related objects. Considering the significant role of the topological defects (especially magnetic strings) in cosmology, here, we will investigate three dimensional horizonless magnetic solutions in the presence of two generalizations: massive gravity and nonlinear electromagnetic field. The effects of these two generalizations on properties of the solutions and their geometrical structure are investigated. The differences between de Sitter and anti de Sitter solutions are highlighted and conditions regarding the existence of phase transition in geometrical structure of the solutions are studied.

It has long been noticed that Laudau-Lifshitz theory can be used to study the fluctuation of a system that contains a black hole. Since the black string can be constructed by extending n-dimensional black hole into one extra dimension. We study the fluctuation of black string flow with a Schwarzschlid-like metric in D=n+1 dimensional spacetime and a charged solution in D=5 dimensional spacetime and get the second moments of the fluctuation of the mass flux and charge flux.

This result sustain the importance of the energy-momentum complexes in the evaluation of the energy distribution of a given space-time. To compare the energy distributions obtained by using several definitions, these results show that the Einstein, Tolman, and Weinberg energy complexes are the same in Schwarzschild Cartesian coordinates, but the Papapetrou and the M{\o}ller are not.

We investigate an evolutional scenario of the FRW universe with the Casimir energy scaling like $(-)(1+z)^4$. The Casimir effect is used to explain the vacuum energy differences (its value measured from astrophysics is so small compared to value obtained from quantum field theory calculations). The dynamics of the FRW model is represented in terms of a two-dimensional dynamical system to show all evolutional paths of this model in the phase space for all admissible initial conditions. We find also an exact solution for non flat evolutional paths of Universe driven by the Casimir effect. The main difference between the FRW model with the Casimir force and the $\Lambda$CDM model is that their generic solutions are a set of evolutional paths with a bounce solution and an initial singularity, respectively. The evolutional scenario are tested by using the SNIa data, FRIIb radiogalaxies, baryon oscillation peak and CMB observation. We compare the power of explanation of the model considered and the $\Lambda$CDM model using the Bayesian information criterion and Bayesian factor. Our investigation of the information criteria of model selection showed the preference of the $\Lambda$CDM model over the model considered. However the presence of negative like the radiation term can remove a tension between the theoretical and observed primordial ${}^4$He and D abundance.

We study the precession of perihelia in the Fisher metric. Fisher metric is the solution of the Einstein's Equations with a massless scalar field as a coupling. We find an expression for the precession of perihelia in this metric. This expression contains general relativistic term for the precession of the perihelia and also an additional term which depends on the scalar field. Also, we obtain an upper bound on scalar charge $\sigma$ by using the observational value of the precession of perihelia for the Mercury planet and the discrepancy between this value and the general relativistic value.

We discuss two aspects of f(R) theories of gravity in metric formalism. We first study the reasons to introduce a scalar-tensor representation for these theories and the behavior of this representation in the limit to General Relativity, f(R)--> R. We find that the scalar-tensor representation is well behaved even in this limit. Then we work out the exact equations for spherically symmetric sources using the original f(R) representation, solve the linearized equations, and compare our results with recent calculations of the literature. We observe that the linearized solutions are strongly affected by the cosmic evolution, which makes very unlikely that the cosmic speedup be due to f(R) models with correcting terms relevant at low curvatures.

We construct the geometro-hydrodynamical formalism for a spinning particle based on the six-dimensional manifold of autoparallelism geometry which is represented as a vector bundle with a base formed by the manifold of the translational coordinates and a fibre specified at each point by the field of an orthogonal coordinate frame underlying the classical spin. We show that the geometry of oriented points leads to the existence of torsion field with the source - the classical spin. We expand the geometro-hydrodynamical representation of Pauli field developed by Takabayasi and Vigier. We show that the external torsion field has a force effect on the velocity and spin fields via the spin-vorticity, which is characteristic of the space structure with the inhomogene triad field. The possible experimental effects of torsion field are discussed.

We consider a spacetime with empty Schwarzschild-de Sitter exterior and Schwarzschild-de Sitter interior metric for a spherical fluid with constant density. The fluid interior may be taken to represent a galaxy supercluster, for which the proper distance from the center of the supercluster to the cosmological horizon has the same order of magnitude as the Hubble radius derived from Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmologies. The fluid interior and surrounding vacuum may also be considered as a model of the Local Group of galaxies in the far future. Particle motion is subject both to the attractive gravity exerted by the fluid and the repelling cosmological constant. Using global Fermi coordinates for the central observer within the fluid, the Fermi velocity, the astrometric velocity, the kinematic velocity, and the spectroscopic velocity, relative to the central (Fermi) observer, of a radially receding test particle are calculated and compared. We find that the Fermi relative velocity can exceed the speed of light in this model, but the presence of a positive cosmological constant causes recessional speeds of distant high energy particles to decrease rather than increase. We derive a version of Hubble's law for this spacetime which might be applicable for the analysis of a receding mass within a great void adjacent to a supercluster, relatively isolated from gravitational sources other than the supercluster. We also compare some of our results to related behavior in FRW cosmologies and consider implications to arguments regarding the expansion of space.

We propose a new lapse function that simplifies the Hamiltonian constraint, describing the interior of the black hole in terms of the Ashtekar-Barbero variables, into a more straightforward form. The new Hamiltonian leads to different equations of motion than those found in the literature, but through a suitable transformation between temporal parameters, it is found that such a choice leads us to the classical solutions of the Schwarzschild metric, still preserving the physical singularity. In order to resolve this singularity, and inspired by the minimal uncertainty approach, we modify the classical algebra between the dynamic variables of the model, imposing an effective dynamics within the black hole. As a consequence, one of the dynamic variables, denoted by $p_b$, acquires a minimum value at the singularity $t=0$, and on the other hand, the variable related to the radius of the 2-sphere, $p_c$, leads to the resolution of the classical singularity of the black hole by replacing it with a bounce that connects the interior of the black hole with the interior of the white hole. This bounce occurs in the Planck-scale region, where a new event horizon manifests. Upon crossing this horizon, the nature of the interval changes from spatial to temporal outside the white hole.

Experiments on the violation of equivalence principle (EP) and solar system give a number of constraints in which any modified gravity model must satisfy them. We study these constraints on a kind of $f(R)$ gravity as $f(R) = R(1\pm \epsilon \ln({R \over R_c}))$. For this investigation we use of chameleon mechanism and show that a spherically body has thin-shell in this model. So that we obtain an effective coupling of the fifth force which is suppressed through a chameleon mechanism. Also, we obtain $\gamma_{PPN} = 1 \pm 1.13 \times10^{-5}$ which is agreement with experiment results. At last, we show that for $R_c \thickapprox \rho_c$ this model is consistent with EP, thin shell condition and fifth force of chameleon mechanism for $\epsilon \backsimeq 10^{-14}$.

We study these constraints on a kind of $f(R)$ gravity as $f(R) = R(1\pm \epsilon \ln({R \over R_c}))$. For this investigation we use of chameleon mechanism and show that a spherically body has thin-shell in this model. So that we obtain an effective coupling of the fifth force which is suppressed through a chameleon mechanism. Also, we obtain $\gamma_{PPN} = 1 \pm 1.13 \times10^{-5}$ which is agreement with experiment results. At last, we show that for $R_c \thickapprox \rho_c$ this model is consistent with EP, thin shell condition and fifth force of chameleon mechanism for $\epsilon \backsimeq 10^{-14}$.

In this paper, we focus on the general free scalar-tensor gravity with three free coupling functions, which in the near-field region looks like general relativity (GR) plus a fifth force of Yukawa-type induced by the scalar field. We show that the fifth force is always attractive in the theory. We investigate the effects of the attractive fifth force and calculate in detail the fifth force-induced orbital precession rate $\delta\omega/\omega$ and the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters $\gamma$ and $\beta$, all of which depend on the fifth force parameters and the interaction distance. It turns out that, due to the attractive fifth force, $\delta\omega/\omega$ is always greater than zero, $\gamma$ is always less than one, $\beta$ is greater than one at large distances, and additionally this class of theories is ruled out as an alternative theory to dark matter. We place stringent constraints on the fifth force parameters by combining the lunar laser ranging (LLR), Cassini, and Mercury precession experiments, and derive the upper bounds on the strength ratio of the fifth force to gravitational force at different scales from the LLR observation. We find that the Mercury constraint is not competitive with the LLR and Cassini constraints and the LLR observation imposes much more stringent bounds on the strength ratio on large scales than on small scales. Our results show that this theory is sufficiently close to GR for a small enough fifth force strength and can reduce to GR with a minimally coupled scalar field in the absence of fifth force.

It has been speculated that gravity could be an emergent phenomenon, with classical general relativity as an effective, macroscopic theory, valid only for classical systems at large temporal and spatial scales. As in classical continuum dynamics, the existence of underlying microscopic degrees of freedom may lead to macroscopic dissipative behaviors. With the hope that such dissipative behaviors of gravity could be revealed by carefully designed experiments in the laboratory, we consider a phenomenological model that adds dissipations to the gravitational field, much similar to frictions in solids and fluids. Constraints to such dissipative behavior can already be imposed by astrophysical observations and existing experiments, but mostly in lower frequencies. We propose a series of experiments working in higher frequency regimes, which may potentially put more stringent bounds on these models.

Kasner cosmology is a vacuum and anisotropically expanding spacetime in the general relativity context. In this work, such a cosmological model is studied in another context, the bumblebee model, where the Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken. By using the bumblebee context it is possible to justify the anisotropic feature of the Kasner cosmology. Thus, the origin of the anisotropy in this cosmological model could be in the Lorentz symmetry breaking. Lastly, an application in the pre-inflationary cosmology is suggested.

Theories of Quantum Gravity predict a minimum measurable length and a corresponding modification of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to the so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). However, this modification is usually formulated in non-relativistic language, making it unclear whether the minimum length is Lorentz invariant. We have formulated a Relativistic Generalized Uncertainty Principle, resulting in a Lorentz invariant minimum measurable length and the resolution of the composition law problem. This proved to be an important step in the formulation of Quantum Field Theory with minimum length. We derived the Lagrangians consistent with the existence of minimal length and describing the behaviour of scalar, spinor, and U(1) gauge fields. We calculated the Feynman rules (propagators and vertices) associated with these Lagrangians. Furthermore, we calculated the Quantum Gravity corrected scattering cross-sections for a lepton-lepton scattering. Finally, we compared our results with current experiments, which allowed us to improve the bounds on the scale at which quantum gravity phenomena will become relevant.

The procedure is explicitly illustrated on several examples, providing new prototypes of spacetimes admitting such tensors. In particular, we study a warped product of two Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetimes and show that it gives rise to a new class of highly symmetric vacuum (with cosmological constant) black hole solutions that inherit many of the properties of the Kerr-NUT-(A)dS geometry.

Searches for continuous gravitational waves target nearly monochromatic gravitational wave emission from e.g. non-axysmmetric fast-spinning neutron stars. Broad surveys often require to explicitly search for a very large number of different waveforms, easily exceeding $\sim10^{17}$ templates. In such cases, for practical reasons, only the top, say $\sim10^{10}$, results are saved and followed-up through a hierarchy of stages. Most of these candidates are not completely independent of neighbouring ones, but arise due to some common cause: a fluctuation, a signal or a disturbance. By judiciously clustering together candidates stemming from the same root cause, the subsequent follow-ups become more effective. A number of clustering algorithms have been employed in past searches based on iteratively finding symmetric and compact over-densities around candidates with high detection statistic values. The new clustering method presented in this paper is a significant improvement over previous methods: it is agnostic about the shape of the over-densities, is very efficient and it is effective: at a very high detection efficiency, it has a noise rejection of $99.99\%$ , is capable of clustering two orders of magnitude more candidates than attainable before and, at fixed sensitivity it enables more than a factor of 30 faster follow-ups. We also demonstrate how to optimally choose the clustering parameters.

The network was trained on more than ten thousand steady states using an active learning scheme and has high accuracy on test data.

By matching a post-Newtonian description of the inspiral to a set of numerical-relativity simulations, we obtain a waveform family with a conveniently small number of physical parameters. These waveforms will allow us to detect a larger parameter space of BBH coalescence, including a considerable fraction of precessing binaries in the comparable-mass regime, thus significantly improving the expected detection rates.

In particular, the motion of the wave packets is investigated and, in both the models, the classical singularity appear to be probabilistic suppressed. Moreover, the FRW wave packets approach the Planckian region in a stationary way and no evidences for a Big-Bounce, as predicted in Loop Quantum Cosmology, appear. On the other hand, the Taub wave packets provide the right behavior in predicting an isotropic Universe.

In this paper, a noncommutative gravitational theory is constructed by applying Moyal deformation quantization and the Seiberg-Witten map to teleparallel gravity, a classical gravitational theory, as a gauge theory of local translational symmetry. Since our model is based on teleparallel gravity, it is an extremely simple noncommutative gravitational theory. We also clearly divide the role of the products, such that the metric is responsible for the rule of the inner product (which is calculated by taking the sum over the subscripts) and the Moyal product is responsible for tensor and field noncommutativity. This solves problems related to the order of the products and the relationship between the metric and the Moyal product. Furthermore, we analyze the cosmic evolution of the very early universe and the spacetime features around black holes using the constructed noncommutative gravitational theory, and find that gravity acts repulsively in the extreme region where its quantum effects become prominent.

The special relativistic hydrodynamics with weak gravity is hitherto unknown in the literature. Whether such an asymmetric combination is possible was unclear. Here, the hydrodynamic equations with Poisson-type gravity considering fully relativistic velocity and pressure under the weak gravity and the action-at-a-distance limit are consistently derived from Einstein's general relativity. Analysis is made in the maximal slicing where the Poisson's equation becomes much simpler than our previous study in the zero-shear gauge. Also presented is the hydrodynamic equations in the first post-Newtonian approximation, now under the {\it general} hypersurface condition. Our formulation includes the anisotropic stress.

In the present work, we study linear, torsion-free metric-Palatini gravity, extended by the quadratics of the antisymmetric part of the Ricci tensor and extended also by the presence of the affine connection in the matter sector. We show that this extended metric-Palatini gravity reduces dynamically to the general relativity plus a geometrical massive vector field corresponding to non-metricity of the connection. We also show that this geometric Proca field couples to fermions universally. We derive static, spherically symmetric field equations of this Einstein-geometric Proca theory. We study possibility of black hole solutions by taking into account the presence of a dust distribution that couples to the geometric Proca. Our analytical and numerical analyses show that the presence of this dust worsens the possibility of horizon formation. We briefly discuss possible roles of this universally-coupled geometric Proca in the astrophysical and collider processes.

We propose a suitable vacuum state for a quantized Dirac field interacting with a classical scalar field in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker-Lemaitre spacetime. This state is constructed from an extended version of the adiabatic expansion of the associated Fourier modes of the field. We compute the full renormalized stress-energy tensor. For any given initial time, this instantaneous vacuum can always be chosen to have vanishing Fourier modes for the renormalized stress-energy tensor. We check the consistency of the solution for several inflationary models.

In this paper, we study the Power Law Entropy Corrected Holographic Dark Energy (PLECHDE) model in the framework of a non-flat Universe and of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz cosmology with infrared cut-off given by recently proposed Granda-Oliveros cut-off, which contains one term proportional to the Hubble parameter squared $H^2$ and one term proportional to the first time derivative of the Hubble parameter $\dot{H}$. Moreover, this cut-off is characterized by two constant parameters, $\alpha$ and $\beta$. For the two cases corresponding to non-interacting and interacting DE and Dark Matter (DM), we derive the evolutionary form of the energy density of DE $\Omega_D'$, the Equation of State (EoS) parameter of DE $\omega_D$ and the deceleration parameter $q$. Using the parametrization of the EoS parameter $\omega_D\left(z\right)=\omega_0+\omega_1 z$, we obtain the expressions of the two parameters $\omega_0$ and $\omega_1$. We also study the statefinder parameters $\left\{ r,s \right\}$, the snap and lerk cosmographic parameters and the squared speed of the sound $v_s^2$. We also calculate the values of the quantities we study for different values of the running parameter $\lambda$ and for different set of values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$.

Given a particular prescription for the Einstein field equations (EFE's), it is important to have general protective theorems that lend support to it. The prescription of data on a timelike hypersurface for the (n + 1)-d EFE's arises in `noncompact Kaluza--Klein theory', and in certain kinds of braneworlds and low-energy string theory. The Campbell--Magaard (CM) theorem, which asserts local existence (and, with extra conditions, uniqueness) of analytic embeddings of completely general n-d manifolds into vacuum (n + 1)-d manifolds, has often recently been invoked as a protective theorem for such prescriptions. But in this paper I argue that there are problems with loosening the CM thoerem of restrictive meanings in its statement, which is worthwhile thing to do in pursuit of the proposed applications. While I remedy some problems by identifying the required topology, delineating what `local' can be taken to mean, and offering a new, more robust and covariant proof, other problems remain unsurmountable. The theorem lends only inadequate support, both because it offers no guarantee of continuous dependence on the data and because it disregards causality. Furthermore, the theorem is only for the analytic functions which renders it inappropriate for the study of the relativistic equations of modern physics. Unfortunately, there are no known general theorems that offer adequate protection to the proposed applications' prescription. I conclude by making some suggestions for more modest progress.

This paper investigates static spherically symmetric traversable wormhole solutions in $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ gravity ($\mathcal{G}$ and $T$ represent the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively). We construct explicit expressions for ordinary matter by taking specific form of red-shift function and $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ model. To analyze possible existence of wormholes, we consider anisotropic, isotropic as well as barotropic matter distributions. The graphical analysis shows the violation of null energy condition for the effective energy-momentum tensor throughout the evolution while ordinary matter meets energy constraints in certain regions for each case of matter distribution. It is concluded that traversable WH solutions are physically acceptable in this theory.

The production of a stochastic background of relic gravitational waves is well known in various works in the literature, where, by using the so called adiabatically-amplified zero-point fluctuations process, it has been shown how the standard inflationary scenario for the early universe can in principle provide a distinctive spectrum of relic gravitational waves. In this paper, it is shown that, in general, f(R) theories of gravity produce a third massive polarization of gravitational waves and the primordial production of this polarization is analysed adapting the adiabatically-amplified zero-point fluctuations process at this case. In this way, previous results, where only particular cases of f(R) theories have been analysed, will be generalized. The presence of the mass could also have important applications in cosmology, because the fact that gravitational waves can have mass could give a contribution to the dark matter of the Universe. An upper bound for these relic gravitational waves, which arises from the WMAP constrains, is also released. At the end of the paper, the potential detection of such massive gravitational waves using interferometers like Virgo and LIGO is discussed.

In this paper, we have constructed a model for well behaved isotropic compact star in the presence of charged perfect fluid, by considering a static and spherically symmetric metric in Schwarzschild's canonical coordinate system. To put the resulting differential equations into a closed system, we have employed the Vaidya & Tikekar (J. Astrophys. Astron. 3:325, 1982) form of the metric potential grr. The resulting energy-momentum components, i.e., energy density and pressure contain six constants; two of these are determined through the junction condition (matching the interior with the exterior Schwarzschild solution) and by the property of vanishing pressure on the boundary. The remaining constants are constrained by requirements of a real compact star. The physical acceptability of our model is tested using the data of the pulsar PSR B0943+10. Using graphical analysis and tabular information we have shown that our model obeys all the physical requirements. The stability of this model is evaluated using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation, the adiabatic index and the Harrison-Zeldovich-Novikov Criterion and it has passed the evaluation.

We derive the Einstein equation from the condition that every small causal diamond is a variation of a flat empty diamond with the same free conformal energy, as would be expected for a near-equilibrium state. The attractiveness of gravity hinges on the negativity of the absolute temperature of these diamonds, a property we infer from the generalized entropy.

We investigate the scalar perturbation in the Lee-Wick bouncing universe driven by an ordinary scalar field plus a ghost field. We consider only a symmetric evolution of the universe and the scalar fields about the bouncing point. The gauge invariant Sasaki-Mukhanov variable is numerically solved in the spatially flat gauge. We find a new form of the initial perturbation growing during the contracting phase. After the bouncing, this growing mode stabilizes to a constant mode which is responsible for the late-time power spectrum.

We show that there is a minimal Einstein-Aether theory, obtained as a phenomenologically and theoretically consistent limit from the generic Einstein-Aether theory, that supports Einstein metrics as solutions with a reduced cosmological constant. The minimal theory is obtained by taking three of the coupling constants to be zero but keeping the expansion coupling constant to be nonzero. The square of the expansion of the unit-timelike aether field depletes the bare cosmological constant and thus provides, via local Lorentz symmetry breaking inherent in the Einstein-Aether theories, a novel mechanism for reconciling the observed, small cosmological constant (or dark energy) with the large theoretical prediction coming from quantum field theories. The crucial point here is that minimal Einstein-Aether theory does not modify the well-tested aspects of General Relativity such as solar systems tests and black hole physics including gravitational waves.

Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range $10^{17} - 10^{23}~{\rm gm}$ are considered as possible dark matter candidates as they are not subject to big-bang nucleosynthesis constraints and behave like cold dark matter. If PBHs are indeed dark matter, they cannot be treated as isolated objects in asymptotic flat space-time. Furthermore, when compared to stellar-mass black holes, the rate at which the Hawking particles radiate out from PBHs is significantly faster. In this work, we obtain an exact time-dependent solution that models evaporating black holes in the cosmological background. As a result, the solution considers all three aspects of PBHs -- mass-loss due to Hawking radiation, black hole surrounded by mass distribution, and cosmological background. Furthermore, our model predicts that the decay of PBHs occurs faster for larger masses; however, \emph{the decay rate reduces for lower mass}. Finally, we discuss the implications of theoretical constraints on PBHs as dark matter.

The BKL conjecture, stated in the 60s and early 70s by Belinski, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz, proposes a detailed description of the generic asymptotic dynamics of spacetimes as they approach a spacelike singularity. It predicts complicated chaotic behaviour in the generic case, but simpler non-chaotic one in cases with symmetry assumptions or certain kinds of matter fields. Here we construct a new class of four-dimensional vacuum spacetimes containing spacelike singularities which show non-chaotic behaviour. In contrast with previous constructions, no symmetry assumptions are made. Rather, the metric is decomposed in Iwasawa variables and conditions on the asymptotic evolution of some of them are imposed. The constructed solutions contain five free functions of all space coordinates, two of which are constrained by inequalities. We investigate continuous and discrete isometries and compare the solutions to previous constructions. Finally, we give the asymptotic behaviour of the metric components and curvature.

We analyze the radiative and nonradiative linearized variables in a gravity theory within the familiy of the nonprojectable Horava theories, the Horava theory at the kinetic-conformal point.

Gravitational waves (GWs) are expected to play a crucial role in the development of multimessenger astrophysics. The combination of GW observations with other astrophysical triggers, such as from gamma-ray and X-ray satellites, optical/radio telescopes, and neutrino detectors allows us to decipher science that would otherwise be inaccessible. In this paper, we provide a broad review from the multimessenger perspective of the science reach offered by the third generation interferometric GW detectors and by the Einstein Telescope (ET) in particular. We focus on cosmic transients, and base our estimates on the results obtained by ET's predecessors GEO, LIGO, and Virgo.

In quantum gravity, several approaches have been proposed until now for the quantum description of discrete geometries. These theoretical frameworks include loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical triangulations, causal sets, quantum graphity, and energetic spin networks. Most of these approaches describe discrete spaces as homogeneous network manifolds. Here we define Complex Quantum Network Manifolds (CQNM) describing the evolution of quantum network states, and constructed from growing simplicial complexes of dimension $d$. We show that in $d=2$ CQNM are homogeneous networks while for $d>2$ they are scale-free i.e. they are characterized by large inhomogeneities of degrees like most complex networks. From the self-organized evolution of CQNM quantum statistics emerge spontaneously. Here we define the generalized degrees associated with the $\delta$-faces of the $d$-dimensional CQNMs, and we show that the statistics of these generalized degrees can either follow Fermi-Dirac, Boltzmann or Bose-Einstein distributions depending on the dimension of the $\delta$-faces.

Generic inspirals and mergers of binary black holes produce beamed emission of gravitational radiation that can lead to a gravitational recoil or kick of the final black hole. The kick velocity depends on the mass ratio and spins of the binary as well as on the dynamics of the binary configuration. Studies have focused so far on the most astrophysically relevant configuration of quasi-circular inspirals, for which kicks as large as 3,300 km/s have been found. We present the first study of gravitational recoil in hyperbolic encounters. Contrary to quasi-circular configurations, in which the beamed radiation tends to average during the inspiral, radiation from hyperbolic encounters is plunge dominated, resulting in an enhancement of preferential beaming. As a consequence, it is possible to achieve kick velocities as large as 10,000 km/s.

This paper's main aim is to investigate the existence of a new classification of embedded class-I solutions of compact stars, by using Karmarkar condition in $f(R)$ gravity background. To achieve that goal, we consider two different models of the $f(R)$ theory of gravity for the static spherically symmetric spacetime by considering anisotropic matter distribution. Further, we employ Karmarkar condition to relate the two components of metric potentials $g_{rr}$ and $g_{tt}$. We assume a particular model for one metric potential and obtain the second one by Karmarkar condition. Moreover, we also calculate the values of constant parameters by using the observational data of these compact stars, namely, $Vela~ X-1,$ $PSR~J1614-2230,$ $4U~1608-52,$ $Cen~X-3$ and $4U~1820-30.$ We perform different physical tests like variational behavior of energy density and pressure components, stability and equilibrium conditions, energy constraints, mass function and adiabatic index to check the viability of $f(R)$ gravity models. All these physical attributes indicate the consistent behavior of our models. Our investigation also suggests that $f(R)$ theory of gravity appears as a suitable theory in describing the viability of a new classification of embedded class-I solutions of compact objects.

The full Lorentz constraint and its implications for the wave function of the universe are analyzed in detail.

We investigate the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) effect on the Hawking temperature for the 2+1 dimensional New-type black hole by using the quantum tunneling method for both the spin-1/2 Dirac and the spin-0 scalar particles. In computation of the GUP correction for the Hawking temperature of the black hole, we modified Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations. We observed that the modified Hawking temperature of the black hole depends not only on the black hole properties, but also on the graviton mass and the intrinsic properties of the tunneling particle, such as total angular momentum, energy and mass. Also, we see that the Hawking temperature was found to be probed by these particles in different manners. The modified Hawking temperature for the scalar particle seems to be lower compared to its standard Hawking temperature. Also, we find that the modified Hawking temperature of the black hole caused by Dirac particle's tunnelling rised by the total angular momentum of the particle. It is diminishable by the energy and mass of the particle and graviton mass as well. These intrinsic properties of the particle, except total angular momentum for the Dirac particle, and graviton mass may cause screening for the black hole radiation.

In Einstein gravity, for an inhomogeneous phantom energy distribution having linear equation of state (but anisotropic), there exists simple exact solution for spherically symmetric space time describing a wormhole. At infinity, the space time is not asymptotically flat and possesses a regular cosmological Killing horizon with an infinite area. In this work, we have shown that, this wormhole solution is also possible in brane world for various matter distribution, which are not necessarily phantom in nature.

In this study, we explore the new wormhole solutions in the framework of new modified $f(R,L_m)$ gravity. To obtain a characteristic wormhole solution, we use anisotropic matter distribution and a specific form of energy density. As second adopt the isotropic case with a linear EoS relation as a general technique for the system and discuss several physical attributes of the system under the wormhole geometry. Detailed analytical and graphical discussion about the matter contents via energy conditions is discussed. In both cases, the shape function of wormhole geometry satisfies the required conditions. Several interesting points have evolved from the entire investigation along with the features of the exotic matter within the wormhole geometry. Finally, we have concluding remarks.

It is well known that general relativity is an effective theory of gravity at low energy scale, and actually quantum effects cannot be ignored in the strong-field regime. As a strong gravitational object, black hole plays a key role in testing the quantum effects of gravity in the strong-field regime. In this paper, we focus on black hole in effective loop quantum gravity and investigate what the influences are of the quantum effects on the weak and strong bending angles of light rays. We find that this black hole could be a Schwarzschild black hole, a regular black hole, a one-way traversable wormhole, or a two-way traversable wormhole for the different values of the quantum parameter, and the strong bending angle for this compact object exhibits two different divergent behaviors, i.e., the logarithmic divergence and non-logarithmic divergence. There are a series of relativistic images on both sides of the optical axis. Only the outermost one can be resolved as a single image, and all others are packed together at the limiting angular position. It is interesting to note that the angular separation between the outermost relativistic image and the others initially increases and then decreases as the quantum parameter increases, indicating that there is a maximum in the angular separation. The maximum is reached after the black hole becomes a wormhole, which can be taken as a signal for the formation of the wormhole. Moreover, the limiting angular position decreases as the quantum parameter increases but a little bounce occurs after the formation of the wormhole, and the relative magnification in magnitudes first decreases and then increases as the quantum parameter increases.

In particular it is shown that Schwarzschild is the unique spherically symmetric, static, asymptotically flat, black-hole solution, provided the spatial curvature is less than the quantum gravity scale outside the horizon. It is then shown that in the presence of matter (satisfying certain positivity requirements), the only static and asymptotically flat solutions of General Relativity that are also solutions of higher order gravity are the vacuum solutions

The tetrad should be defined without any condition. $e_{\mu a}=\partial_\mu X_a$ with local Lorentz coordinates $X_a$ ia wrong in many sences: it gives the condition $\partial_\mu e_{\nu a}=\partial_\nu e_{\mu a}$, which leads us to the trivial result that the cyclic coefficients vanish identically and to the null Riemannian tensor. Also $e_{\mu a}e_\nu^a=g_{\mu\nu}$ is not scalar under the local Lorentz transformation etc. We show how these deficits are remedied by the correct definition, $e_{\mu a}=D_\mu Z_a$ with local (Anti) de Sitter coordinates $Z_A$.

We study the realistic structure of F-term Nambu-Goto cosmic strings forming in a general supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory implementation, assuming standard hybrid inflation. Examining the symmetry breaking of the unification gauge group down to the Standard Model, we discuss the minimal field content necessary to describe abelian cosmic strings appearing at the end of inflation. We find that several fields will condense in most theories, questioning the plausible occurrence of associated currents (bosonic and fermionic). We perturbatively evaluate the modification of their energy per unit length due to the condensates. We provide a criterion for comparing the usual abelian Higgs approximation used in cosmology to realistic situations.

Black hole (BH) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful approach to extract spacetime information from gravitational wave (GW) observed signals. Yet, quasinormal mode (QNM) spectral instability under high wave-number perturbations has been recently shown to be a common classical general relativistic phenomenon [1]. This requires to assess its impact on the BH QNM spectrum, in particular on BH QNM overtone frequencies. We conclude: i) perturbed BH QNM overtones are indeed potentially observable in the GW waveform, providing information on small-scale environment BH physics, and ii) their detection poses a challenging data analysis problem of singular interest for LISA astrophysics. We adopt a two-fold approach, combining theoretical results from scattering theory with a fine-tuned data analysis on a highly-accurate numerical GW ringdown signal.

Black hole (BH) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful approach to extract spacetime information from gravitational wave (GW) observed signals. Yet, quasinormal mode (QNM) spectral instability under high wave-number perturbations has been recently shown to be a common classical general relativistic phenomenon [1]. This requires to assess its impact on the BH QNM spectrum, in particular on BH QNM overtone frequencies. We conclude: i) perturbed BH QNM overtones are indeed potentially observable in the GW waveform, providing information on small-scale environment BH physics, and ii) their detection poses a challenging data analysis problem of singular interest for LISA astrophysics. We adopt a two-fold approach, combining theoretical results from scattering theory with a fine-tuned data analysis on a highly-accurate numerical GW ringdown signal. The former introduces a set of effective parameters (partially lying on a BH Weyl law) to characterise QNM instability physics. The latter provides a proof-of-principle demonstrating that the QNM spectral instability is indeed accessible in the time-domain GW waveform, though certainly requiring large signal-to-noise ratios. Particular attention is devoted to discuss the patterns of isospectrality loss under QNM instability, since the disentanglement between axial and polar GW parities may already occur within the near-future detection range.

Whether astrophysical black holes (BHs) can have charge is a question to be addressed by observations. In the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, one can constrain the charge of a merged BH remnant using the merger-ringdown signal of the GW data. Extending earlier studies, we analyze five GW events in GWTC-3, assuming Kerr-Newman BHs. Our results show no strong evidence for a charged BH, and give a limit on the charge-to-mass-ratio $Q<0.37$ at $90\%$ credible level (CL). Due to the charge-spin degeneracy in the waveform and the limited signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), it is challenging for LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observations to provide better constraints. We further simulate data for the Einstein Telescope (ET), where SNRs can be as large as $\sim270$ in the ringdown signal. These simulated events allow us to consider the 220, 221, and 330 ringdown modes altogether, which can help break the charge-spin degeneracy. The analysis of a simulated GW150914-like signal shows that ET can improve the constraints on the charge-to-mass-ratio to $Q \lesssim 0.2$ at $90\%$ CL with one ringdown signal.

We extend the WKB method for the computation of cosmological perturbations during inflation beyond leading order and provide the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations to second order in the slow-roll parameters. Our method does not require that the slow-roll parameters be constant. Although leading and next-to-leading results in the slow-roll parameters depend on the approximation technique used in the computation, we find that the inflationary theoretical predictions obtained may reach the accuracy required by planned observations. In two technical appendices, we compare our techniques and results with previous findings.

The spin axes of gyroscopes experimentally define local non-rotating frames. But what physical cause governs the time-evolution of gyroscope axes? We consider linear perturbations of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies with k=0. We ask: Will cosmological vorticity perturbations exactly drag the spin axes of gyroscopes relative to the directions of geodesics to quasars in the asymptotic unperturbed FRW space? Using Cartan's formalism with local orthonormal bases we cast the laws of linear cosmological gravitomagnetism into a form showing the close correspondence with the laws of ordinary magnetism. Our results, valid for any equation of state for cosmological matter, are: 1) The dragging of a gyroscope axis by rotational perturbations of matter beyond the Hubble-dot radius from the gyroscope is exponentially suppressed, where dot is the derivative with respect to cosmic time. 2) If the perturbation of matter is a homogeneous rotation inside some radius around a gyroscope, then exact dragging of the gyroscope axis by the rotational perturbation is reached exponentially fast as the rotation radius grows beyond the H-dot radius. 3) For the most general linear cosmological perturbations the time-evolution of all gyroscope spin axes exactly follow a weighted average of the energy currents of cosmological matter. The weight function is the same as in Ampere's law except that the inverse square law is replaced by the Yukawa force with the Hubble-dot cutoff. Our results demonstrate (in first order perturbation theory for FRW cosmologies with k = 0) the validity of Mach's hypothesis that axes of local non-rotating frames precisely follow an average of the motion of cosmic matter.

In this paper, we consider Klein Gordon particle near Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole. The symmetry of such background lead us to compare the corresponding Laplace equation with the generalized Heun functions. Such relation help us achieve the generalized $sl(2)$ algebra and some suitable results for describing the above mentioned symmetry. On the other hand in case of $r\rightarrow r_{+}$ which is near the proximity black hole, we obtain the energy spectrum and wave function. When we compare the equation of $R-N$ background with Laguerre differential equation, we show that the obtained energy spectrum is same as three dimensional harmonic oscillator. So, finally we take advantage of harmonic oscillator energy and make suitable partition function. Such function help us to obtain all thermodynamical properties of black hole. Also, the structure of obtained entropy lead us to have some bit and information theory in the $R-N$ black hole.

We study a previously largely unexplored branch of homogeneous and isotropic background solutions in ghost-free massive bigravity with consistent double matter coupling. For a certain family of parameters we find `self-inflated' FLRW cosmologies, i.e. solutions with an accelerated early-time period during the radiation-dominated era. In addition, these solutions also display an accelerated late-time period closely mimicking GR with a cosmological constant. Interestingly, within this family, the particular case of $\beta_1=\beta_3=0$ gives bouncing cosmologies, where there is an infinite contracting past, a non-zero minimum value of the scale factor at the bounce, and an infinite expanding future.

We have investigated some cosmological consequences of variation of the fine structure constant, $\alpha$, in the context of the Bekenstein-Sandvik-Barrow-Magueijo (BSBM) model. In this context, such a variation is attributed to electric charge by letting the latter take on the value of a real scalar field, $\phi$, which varies generally in space and time. We consider the dynamics of $\phi$ in the case that it is allowed to have an exponential potential. We have found solutions for evolutions of $\phi$ and $\alpha$ in the radiation and the matter dominated eras. By employing observational bounds on the temporal variation of $\alpha$, we constrain the model parameters. We then investigate the impact of $\alpha$-variation on redshift dependence of CMB temperature. It is shown that there is a deviation from the standard evolution of the temperature which contains two different contributions, one is important at high redshift eras and the other is mostly effective at low redshift eras.

The classical solutions for any but the stiff fluid and without cosmological constant are found in closed form, using a time transformation. We also present the solution whith cosmological constant and some particular values of the barotropic parameter. We present the possible isotropization of the cosmological model, using the ratio between the anisotropic parameters and the volume of the universe and show that this tend to a constant or to zero for different cases. We include also a qualitative analysis of the analog of the Friedmann equation.

The ambition of the present work is to highlight the phenomena of strong gravitational lensing and deflection angle for the photons coupling with Weyl tensor in a Kiselev black hole. Here, we have extended the prior work of Chen and Jing \cite{1} for Schwarzschild black hole to Kiselev black hole. For this purpose, the equation of motion for the photons coupled to Weyl tensor, null geodesic and equation of photon sphere in a Kiselev black hole spacetime have been formulated. It is found that the equation of motion of the photons depends not only on the coupling between photon and Weyl tensor, but also on the polarization direction of the photons. There is a critical value of the coupling parameter $\alpha$ for existence of the marginally circular photon orbit outside the event horizon, which depends on the parameters of black hole and the polarization direction of photons. Further, the polarization directions of coupled photon and the coupling parameter $\alpha$, both modify the features of the photon sphere, the angle of deflection and the functions $(\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b})$ for the strong gravitational lensing in Kiselev black hole spacetime. In addition to this, the observable gravitational lensing quantities and the shadows of the Kiselev black hole spacetime are presented in detail.

We give a quantum field theoretical derivation of the scalar Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equation and the self-force for a scalar charged particle interacting with a quantum scalar field in curved spacetime. We regularize the causal Green's function using a quasi-local expansion in the spirit of effective field theory and obtain a regular expression for the self-force. The scalar ALD equation obtained in this way for the classical motion of the particle checks with the equation obtained by Quinn earlier \cite{Quinn}. We further derive a scalar ALD-Langevin equation with a classical stochastic force accounting for the effect of quantum fluctuations in the field, which causes small fluctuations on the particle trajectory. This equation will be useful for the study of stochastic motion of charges under the influence of both quantum and classical noise sources, derived either self-consistently (as done here) or put in by hand (with warnings). We show the possibility of secular effects from such stochastic influences on the trajectory that may impact on the present calculations of gravitational waveform templates.

To resolve infrared problems with the de~Sitter invariant vacuum, we argue that the history of the de~Sitter phase is crucial. We illustrate how either (1)~the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian for long-wavelength modes or (2)~an explicit modification of the metric in the distant past leads to natural infrared cutoffs. The former case resembles a bosonic superconductor in which graviton-pairing occurs between non-adiabatic modes. While the dynamical equations respect de~Sitter symmetry, the vacuum is not de~Sitter invariant because of the introduction of an initial condition at a finite time. The implications for the one-loop stress tensor and the production of particles are also discussed.

Recently E. E. Donets, D. V. Galtsov, and the author reported the results of numerical and analytical investigation of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills black hole interior solutions (gr-qc/9612067). It was shown that a generic interior solution develops a new type of an infinitely oscillating behavior with exponentially growing amplitude. Numerical data for three sequential oscillations were presented. The numerical integration technique was not discussed. Later P. Breitenlohner, G. Lavrelashvili, and D. Maison confirmed our main results (gr-qc/9703047). But they have made some misleading statements. In particular, they claimed, discussing the oscillations, that ``as one performs the numerical integration one quickly runs into serious problems...'' so that ``it is practically impossible to follow more than one or two of them numerically'' because ``the numerical integration procedure breaks down''. It is shown here that trivial logarithmic substitutions and integration along the integral curve solve these ``serious problems'' easily.

Numerical data for three sequential oscillations were presented. The numerical integration technique was not discussed. Later P. Breitenlohner, G. Lavrelashvili, and D. Maison confirmed our main results (gr-qc/9703047). But they have made some misleading statements. In particular, they claimed, discussing the oscillations, that ``as one performs the numerical integration one quickly runs into serious problems...'' so that ``it is practically impossible to follow more than one or two of them numerically'' because ``the numerical integration procedure breaks down''. It is shown here that trivial logarithmic substitutions and integration along the integral curve solve these ``serious problems'' easily.

A scalar--tensor theory of gravity, containing an arbitrary coupling function $F(\phi)$ and a general potential $V(\phi)$, is considered in the context of a spatially flat FLRW model. The use of reparametrization invariance enables a particular lapse parametrization in which the mini--superspace metric completely specifies the dynamics of the system. A requirement of existence of the maximal possible number of autonomous integrals of motion is imposed. This leads to a flat mini--superspace metric realized by a particular relation between the coupling function and the potential. The space of solutions is completely described in terms of the three autonomous integrals of motion constructed by the Killing fields of the mini--supermetric and an additional rheonomous emanating from the homothetic field. The solutions contain the arbitrary function which remains after the imposition of the relation between $F(\phi)$ and $V(\phi)$. To exemplify the use of the general results, we select some particular cases and study their physical implications through an effective energy--momentum tensor, which tends out to be that of a perfect fluid.

We report a general analysis of worldlines for theories with deformed relativistic symmetries and momentum dependence of the speed of photons. Our formalization is faithful to Einstein's program, with spacetime points viewed as an abstraction of physical events. The emerging picture imposes the renunciation of the idealization of absolutely coincident events, but is free from some pathologies which had been previously conjectured.

The detection of binary neutron star mergers represents one of the most important and complex astrophysical discoveries of the recent years. One of the unclear aspects of the problem is the turbulent magnetic field amplification, initially triggered by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at much smaller scales than any reachable numerical resolution nowadays. Here we present numerical simulations of the first ten milliseconds of a binary neutron star merger. First, we confirm in detail how the simulated amplification depends on the numerical resolution and is distributed on a broad range of scales, as expected from turbulent MHD theory. We find that an initial large-scale magnetic field of $10^{11}\,$G inside each star is amplified in the remnant to root-mean-square values above $10^{16}\,$G within the first $5$ milliseconds for our highest-resolution run. Then, we run large eddy simulations, exploring the performance of the subgrid-scale gradient model, already tested successfully in previous turbulent box simulations. We show that the addition of this model is especially important in the induction equation, since it leads to an amplification of the magnetic field comparable to a higher-resolution run, but with a greatly reduced computational cost. In the first 10 milliseconds, there is no clear hint for an ordered, large-scale magnetic field, which should indeed occur in longer timescales through magnetic winding and the magneto-rotational instability.

Equivalence principles are a major part of modern relativity theory. Gravitational shifts can already be calculated within the time domain as motion shifts, and we examine the consequences of reversing this argument and describing motion shifts outside the time domain, as effects of curvature associated with relative velocity. This unusual "Doppler mass shift" approach appears to resolve some of Einstein's own criticisms of the "SR+GR" model and seems to remove some barriers to the reconciliation of classical and quantum theory. The disadvantage of this model is that constant-velocity problems no longer obey Euclidean geometry. By bypassing special relativity and the special theory's flat-space assumptions, the model also suggests an alternative non-transverse frequency-shift relationship. This difference should be testable.

The Weyl double copy builds the relation between gauge theory and gravity theory, especially the correspondence between gauge solutions and gravity solutions. In this paper, we obtain the slowly rotating charge solutions from Weyl double copy for the Kerr black hole with small Chern-Simons correction. Based on the Weyl double copy relation, for the Petrov type D solution, we find the additional correction to the electromagnetic field strength tensor of rotating charge. For the Petrov type I solution, we find that the additional electromagnetic field strength tensors have the exogenous properties, while the total sources vanish at the leading order.

We consider the problem of collapse of a self-gravitating Higgs field, with potential bounded below by a (possibly negative) constant. The behaviour at infinity may be either asymptotically flat or asymptotically AdS. This problem has received much attention as a source for possible violations of weak cosmic censorship in string theory. In this paper, we prove under spherical symmetry that ``first singularities'' arising in the non-trapped region must necessarily emanate from the centre. In particular, this excludes the formation of a certain type of naked singularity which was recently conjectured to occur.

In semiclassical gravity, the vacuum expectation value ${\langle\hat{N}\rangle}$ of the particle number operator for a quantum field gives rise to the perception of thermal radiation in the vicinity of a black hole. This Hawking effect has been examined only for observers asymptotically far from a Kerr black hole; here we generalize the analysis to various classes of freely falling observers both outside and inside the Kerr event horizon. Of note, we find that the effective temperature of the ${\langle\hat{N}\rangle}$ distribution remains regular for observers at the event horizon but becomes negative and divergent for observers reaching the inner Cauchy horizon. Furthermore, the perception of Hawking radiation varies greatly for different classes of observers, though the spectrum is generally a graybody that decreases in intensity with black hole spin and increases in temperature when looking toward the edges of the black hole shadow.

If the gravitational lens is surrounded by non-homoheneous plasma, in addition to the vacuum gravitational deflection, chromatic refraction occurs. Also, the speed of signal propagation decreases compared to vacuum. In this article, we investigate analytically the time delay in the case of gravitational lensing in plasma, focusing on strong lens systems. We take into account the following contributions: geometric delay due to trajectory bending in the presence of both gravity and plasma; potential delay of the ray in the gravitational field of the lens; dispersion delay in the plasma due to decrease of speed of light signal in the medium. We consider singular isothermal sphere as a model of gravitational lens, and arbitrary spherically symmetric distribution of surrounding plasma. For this scenario, plasma corrections for the time delay between two images are found in compact analytical form convenient for estimates. We discuss also the possible influence of the plasma on the value of the Hubble constant, determined from observations of the time delay in strong lens systems.

We investigate the effects of using the {\it full} waveform (FWF) over the conventional {\it restricted} waveform (RWF) of the inspiral signal from a coalescing compact binary (CCB) system in extracting the parameters of the source, using a global network of second generation interferometric detectors. We study a hypothetical population of (1.4-10)$M_\odot$ NS-BH binaries (uniformly distributed and oriented in the sky) by employing the full post-Newtonian waveforms, which not only include contributions from various harmonics other than the dominant one (quadrupolar mode) but also the post-Newtonian amplitude corrections associated with each harmonic, of the inspiral signal expected from this system. It is expected that the GW detector network consisting of the two LIGO detectors and a Virgo detector will be joined by KAGRA and by proposed LIGO-India. We study the problem of parameter estimation with all 16 possible detector configurations. Comparing medians of error distributions obtained using FWFs with those obtained using RWFs (which only include contributions from the dominant harmonic with Newtonian amplitude) we find that the measurement accuracies for luminosity distance and the cosine of the inclination angle improve almost by a factor of 1.5-2 depending upon the network under consideration. Although the use of FWF does not improve the source localization accuracy much, the global network consisting of five detectors will improve the source localization accuracy by a factor of 4 as compared to the estimates using a 3 detector LIGO-Virgo network for the same waveform model.

In this paper, we study the complexity factor of a static anisotropic sphere in the context of self-interacting Brans-Dicke theory. We split the Riemann tensor using Bel's approach to obtain structure scalars relating to comoving congruence and Tolman mass in the presence of a scalar field. We then define the complexity factor with the help of these scalars to demonstrate the complex nature of the system. We also evaluate the vanishing complexity condition to obtain solutions for two stellar models. It is concluded that the complexity of the system increases with the inclusion of the scalar field and potential function.

We consider neutron-star-plus-wormhole configurations supported by a massless ghost scalar field. The neutron fluid is modeled by an anisotropic equation of state. When the central energy density of the fluid is of comparable magnitude to the one of the scalar field, configurations with an equator at the center and a double throat arise. These double-throat wormholes can be either partially or completely filled by the neutron fluid. In the latter case, the passage of light - radiated by the neutron matter - through these wormholes is studied. A stability analysis indicates that all considered configurations are unstable with respect to linear perturbations, independent of whether the fluid is isotropic or anisotropic.

By using these complexes, the total energy of the universe, which includes the energy of both the matter and the gravitational fields, is then obtained. It is shown that the total energy vanishes independently of both the curvature parameter and the three dimensionless coupling constants of teleparallel gravity.

In recent years, a growing interest on the equilibrium of compact astrophysical objects like white dwarf and neutron stars has been manifested. In particular, various modifications due to Planck scale energy effects have been considered. In this paper we analyze the modification induced by Gravity's Rainbow on the equilibrium configurations described by the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation. Our purpose is to explore the possibility that the Rainbow Planck-scale deformation of space-time could support the existence of different compact stars.

In a universe whose elementary constituents are point particles there does not seem to be any obvious mechanism for avoiding the initial singularities in physical quantities in the standard model of cosmology. In contrast in string theory these singularities can be absent even at the level where spacetime is treated classically. This is a consequence of the basic degrees of freedom of strings in compact spaces, which necessitate a reinterpretation of what one means by a very small universe. We discuss the basic degrees of freedom of a string at the classical and quantum level, the minimum size of strings (string uncertainty principle), the t-duality symmetry, and string thermodynamics at high energy densities, and then describe how these considerations suggest a resolution of the initial singularity problem. An effort has been made to keep this writeup self-contained and accessible to non-string theorists.

We analyze causal structures in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. It is known that Gauss-Bonnet gravity potentially has superluminal propagation of gravitons due to its noncanonical kinetic terms. In a theory with superluminal modes, an analysis of causality based on null curves makes no sense, and thus, we need to analyze them in a different way. In this paper, using the method of the characteristics, we analyze the causal structure in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We have the result that, on a Killing horizon, gravitons can propagate in the null direction tangent to the Killing horizon. Therefore, a Killing horizon can be a causal edge as in the case of general relativity, i.e. a Killing horizon is the "event horizon" in the sense of causality. We also analyze causal structures on nonstationary solutions with $(D-2)$-dimensional maximal symmetry, including spherically symmetric and flat spaces. If the geometrical null energy condition, $R_{AB}N^AN^B \ge 0$ for any null vector $N^A$, is satisfied, the radial velocity of gravitons must be less than or equal to that of light. However, if the geometrical null energy condition is violated, gravitons can propagate faster than light. Hence, on an evaporating black hole where the geometrical null energy condition is expected not to hold, classical gravitons can escape from the "black hole" defined with null curves. That is, the causal structures become nontrivial. It may be one of the possible solutions for the information loss paradox of evaporating black holes.

This work consists of two distinct parts. In the first part we present a new method for solving the initial value problem of general relativity. Given any spatial metric with a surface orthogonal Killing field and two freely specified components of the extrinsic curvature we solve for extrinsic curvature's remaining components. For the second part, after noting that initial data for the Kerr spacetime can be derived within our formalism we construct data for axisymmetric configurations of spinning black holes. Though our method is limited to axisymmetry, it offers an advantage over the Bowen-York proceedure that our data approach those for Kerr holes in the limit of large separations and in the close limit.

We investigated the thermodynamics of field equation in $n$-dimensional Vaidya spacetime. The unified first law was derived in terms of the methods proposed by Sean A Hayward. The first law of dynamical black hole was obtained by projecting the unified first law along the trapping horizon. At last, the second law of dynamical black hole is also discussed.

The theorem applies for isolated asymptotically flat or asymptotically de Sitter black holes and also in the case when vacuum is replaced by a minimally coupled source having a traceless energy momentum tensor. This theorem excludes the case of pure quadratic gravity, $f(R) = R^2$. In this paper we use the scalar tensor representation of general $f(R)$ theory to show that there are no hairy black hole in pure $R^2$ gravity. The result is limited to spherically symmetric black holes but does not assume asymptotic flatness or de-Sitter asymptotics as in most of the no-hair theorems encountered in the literature. We include an example of a static and spherically symmetric black hole in $R^2$ gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field having a Higgs-type quartic potential.

An accurate and precise measurement of the spins of individual merging black holes is required to understand their origin. While previous studies have indicated that most of the spin information comes from the inspiral part of the signal, the informative spin measurement of the heavy binary black hole system GW190521 suggests that the merger and ringdown can contribute significantly to the spin constraints for such massive systems. We perform a systematic study into the measurability of the spin parameters of individual heavy binary black hole mergers using a numerical relativity surrogate waveform model including the effects of both spin-induced precession and higher-order modes. We find that the spin measurements are driven by the merger and ringdown parts of the signal for GW190521-like systems, but the uncertainty in the measurement increases with the total mass of the system. We are able to place meaningful constraints on the spin parameters even for systems observed at moderate signal-to-noise ratios, but the measurability depends on the exact six-dimensional spin configuration of the system. Finally, we find that the azimuthal angle between the in-plane projections of the component spin vectors at a given reference frequency cannot be well-measured for most of our simulated configurations even for signals observed with high signal-to-noise ratios.

Non-Gaussian noise transients in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors increase the background in searches for short-duration and un-modelled signals. We describe a method for vetoing noise transients by ranking the statistical relationship between triggers in auxiliary channels that have negligible sensitivity to gravitational waves and putative gravitational-wave triggers in the detector output. The novelty of the algorithm lies in its hierarchical approach, which leads to a minimal set of veto conditions with high performance and low deadtime. After a given channel has been selected it is used to veto triggers from the detector output, then the algorithm selects a new channel that performs well on the remaining triggers and the process is repeated. This method has been demonstrated to reduce the background in searches for transient gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations.

The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of $\alpha$-surfaces in complex space-time manifolds with nonvanishing torsion is derived. For these manifolds, Lie brackets of vector fields and spinor Ricci identities contain explicitly the effects of torsion. This leads to an integrability condition for $\alpha$-surfaces which does not involve just the self-dual Weyl spinor, as in complex general relativity, but also the torsion spinor, in a nonlinear way, and its covariant derivative. A similar result also holds for four-dimensional, smooth real manifolds with a positive-definite metric. Interestingly, a particular solution of the integrability condition is given by conformally right-flat and right-torsion-free space-times.

The Hamiltonian formalism of Einstein--Cartan (EC) gravity is a starting point for canonical quantum gravity. The existing formalisms are at most Lorentz covariant, or diffeomorphism covariant. Here we analyze the Hamiltonian EC gravity in a 5d covariant way, with the gauge group being the de Sitter (dS) group, which unifies the Lorentz transformations and translation in an elegant manner, and also coincides with the acceleration of the universe. We reformulate the EC equations into a dS-covariant form, then find out the dS-covariant constraints of the phase space, and make all the constraint functions constitute a closed algebra by constructing a dS-invariant Dirac bracket, for the purpose of quantization.

In order to test the canonical quantization programme for general relativity we introduce a reduced model for a real sector of complexified Ashtekar gravity which captures important properties of the full theory. While it does not correspond to a subset of Einstein's gravity it has the advantage that the programme of canonical quantization can be carried out completely and explicitly, both, via the reduced phase space approach or along the lines of the algebraic quantization programme. This model stands in close correspondence to the frequently treated cylindrically symmetric waves. In contrast to other models that have been looked at up to now in terms of the new variables the reduced phase space is infinite dimensional while the scalar constraint is genuinely bilinear in the momenta. The infinite number of Dirac observables can be expressed in compact and explicit form in terms of the original phase space variables. They turn out, as expected, to be non-local and form naturally a set of countable cardinality.

Testing modified theories of gravity with direct observations of the parameters of a neutron star is not the optimal way of testing gravitational theories. However, observing electromagnetic signals originating from the close vicinity of the compact object my turn out an excellent way of probing spacetime in strong field regime. A promising candidate for doing so are the so-called quasi-periodic oscillations, observed in the X-ray light curves of some pulsars. Although the origin of those oscillations is unknown, one thing most of the models describing them have in common is that in one way or another they incorporate the radius of the innermost stable circular obit, and the orbital and the epicyclic frequencies of particles moving around the compact object. In this paper we study the aforementioned quantities in the context of massive scalar-tensor theory and massive scalar-tensor theory with self-interaction, both of which in strong regime allow for significant deviations from General relativity for values for the free parameters of the theory in correlation with the observations.

The field equations of general relativity can be derived from the Einstein action, which is quadratic in connection coefficients, rather than the standard action involving the Gibbons-Hawking-York term and counterterm. We show that it is possible to construct a new counterterm directly for the Einstein action, which removes divergences and naturally introduces a flat reference spacetime. The total action is then covariant under simultaneous transformation of both the spacetime and reference tetrads, and argue that this is analogous to the Gibbons-Hawking action. We then explore different perspectives arising naturally from different uses of the reference tetrad, and explore implications of viewing gravity as fundamentally described in terms of non-covariant connection coefficients.

The propagation equations are then used to derive a covariant and dimensionless form of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations. We then give a solution strategy to these equations and obtain a new exact solution for the particular case $f(R)=R+\alpha R^{2}$.

We then give a solution strategy to these equations and obtain a new exact solution for the particular case $f(R)=R+\alpha R^{2}$.

A discrete model of Lorentzian quantum gravity is proposed. The theory is completely background free, containing no reference to absolute space, time, or simultaneity. The states at one slice of time are networks in which each vertex is labelled with two arrows, which point along an adjacent edge, or to the vertex itself. The dynamics is specified by a set of unitary replacement rules, which causally propagate the local degrees of freedom. The inner product between any two states is given by a sum over histories. Assuming it converges (or can be Abel resummed), this inner product is proven to be hermitian and fully gauge-degenerate under spacetime diffeomorphisms. At least for states with a finite past, the inner product is also positive. This allows a Hilbert space of physical states to be constructed.

We use the expansion-normalized variables approach to study the dynamics of a non-tilted Bianchi Type I cosmological model with both a homogeneous magnetic field and a viscous fluid. In our model the perfect magnetohydrodynamic approximation is made, and both bulk and shear viscous effects are retained. The dynamical system is studied in detail through a fixed-point analysis which determines the local sink and source behavior of the system. We show that the fixed points may be associated with Kasner-type solutions, a flat universe FLRW solution, and interestingly, a new solution to the Einstein Field equations involving non-zero magnetic fields, and non-zero viscous coefficients. It is further shown that for certain values of the bulk and shear viscosity and equation of state parameters, the model isotropizes at late times.

There is a well-known, intuitive geometric correspondence between high-frequency QNMs of Schwarzschild black holes and null geodesics that reside on the light-ring : the real part of the mode's frequency relates to the geodesic's orbital frequency, and the imaginary part of the frequency corresponds to the Lyapunov exponent of the orbit. For slowly rotating black holes, the QNM real frequency is a linear combination of a the orbit's precessional and orbital frequencies, but the correspondence is otherwise unchanged. In this paper, we find a relationship between the QNM frequencies of Kerr black holes of arbitrary (astrophysical) spins and general spherical photon orbits, which is analogous to the relationship for slowly rotating holes. To derive this result, we first use the WKB approximation to compute accurate algebraic expressions for large-l QNM frequencies. Comparing our WKB calculation to the leading-order, geometric-optics approximation to scalar-wave propagation in the Kerr spacetime, we then draw a correspondence between the real parts of the parameters of a QNM and the conserved quantities of spherical photon orbits. At next-to-leading order in this comparison, we relate the imaginary parts of the QNM parameters to coefficients that modify the amplitude of the scalar wave. With this correspondence, we find a geometric interpretation to two features of the QNM spectrum of Kerr black holes: First, for Kerr holes rotating near the maximal rate, a large number of modes have nearly zero damping; we connect this characteristic to the fact that a large number of spherical photon orbits approach the horizon in this limit. Second, for black holes of any spins, the frequencies of specific sets of modes are degenerate; we find that this feature arises when the spherical photon orbits corresponding to these modes form closed (as opposed to ergodically winding) curves.

Quantum gravity theory is untested experimentally. Could it be tested with tabletop experiments? While the common feeling is pessimistic, a detailed inquiry shows it possible to sidestep the onerous requirement of localization of a probe on Planck length scale. I suggest a tabletop experiment which, given state of the art ultrahigh vacuum and cryogenic technology, could already be sensitive enough to detect Planck scale signals. The experiment combines a single photon's degree of freedom with one of a macroscopic probe to test Wheeler's conception of "quantum foam", the assertion that on length scales of the order Planck's, spacetime is no longer a smooth manifold. The scheme makes few assumptions beyond energy and momentum conservations, and is not based on a specific quantum gravity scheme.

We present the solution space of the field equations in the Einstein-\ae ther theory for the case of a $FLRW$ and a LRS Bianchi Type $III$ space-time. We also find that there are portions of the initial parameters space for which no solution is admitted by the reduced equations. The reduced Lagrangians deduced from the full action are, in general, correctly describing the dynamics whenever solutions do exist
