A class of exact solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for diagonal Bianchi type IX cosmologies with cosmological constant is derived in the metric representation. This class consists of all the ``topological solutions'' which are associated with the Bianchi type IX reduction of the Chern-Simons functional in Ashtekar variables. The different solutions within the class arise from the topologically inequivalent choices of the integration contours in the transformation from the Ashtekarrepresentation to the metric representation. We show how the saddle-points of the reduced Chern-Simons functional generate a complete basis of such integration contours and the associated solutions. Among the solutions we identify two, which, semi-classically, satisfy the boundary conditions proposed by Vilenkin and by Hartle and Hawking, respectively. In the limit of vanishing cosmological constant our solutions reduce to a class found earlier in special fermion sectors ofsupersymmetric Bianchi type IX models.

We prove the renormalizability of a gauge-invariant, four-dimensional GFT model on SU(2), whose defining interactions correspond to necklace bubbles (found also in the context of new large-N expansions of tensor models), rather than melonic ones, which are not renormalizable in this case. The respective scaling of different interactions in the vicinity of the Gaussian fixed point is determined by the renormalization group itself. This is possible because the appropriate notion of canonical dimension of the GFT coupling constants takes into account the detailed combinatorial structure of the individual interaction terms. This is one more instance of the peculiarity (and greater mathematical richness) of GFTs with respect to ordinary local quantum field theories. We also explore the renormalization group flow of the model at the non-perturbative level, using functional renormalization group methods, and identify a non-trivial fixed point in various truncations. This model is expected to have a similar structure of divergences as the GFT models of 4d quantum gravity, thus paving the way to more detailed investigations on them.

In this paper we derive a cosmological model from the $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity, for which $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. We consider $f(R,T)=f(R)+f(T)$, with $f(R)$ being the Starobinksy model $R+\alpha R^{2}$ and $f(T)=\gamma T$, with $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ constants. We find that from such a functional form, it is possible to describe the cosmological scenario of a radiation-dominated universe, which has shown to be a non-trivial feature within the $f(R,T)$ formalism.

Intermediate mass-ratio coalescences are potential signals of ground-based and space-based gravitational observatories. Accurate modeling of their waveforms within general relativity can be achieved within black hole perturbation theory including self-force and finite size effects. In this paper, we present analytic results to the Teukolsky perturbation of equatorial orbits in the near-horizon region of an extremely high spin black hole including spin coupling and finite size effects at leading order in the high spin limit while neglecting the self-force. We detail the critical behavior occuring close to the smallest specific angular momentum, and we discuss features of spin and quadrupole couplings.

We investigate the kinematics of the motion of an observer with constant proper acceleration (relativistic hyperbolic motion) in 1+1 and 1+3 dimensional Minkowski spacetimes. We provide explicit formulas for all the kinematic quantities up to the fourth proper time derivative (the Snap). In the 1+3 case, following a recent work of Pons and de Palol [Gen. Rel. Grav. 51 (2019) 80], a vectorial differential equation for the acceleration is obtained which by considering constant proper acceleration is turned into a nonlinear second order differential equation in terms of derivatives of the radius vector. If, furthermore, the velocity is parameterized in terms of hyperbolic functions, one obtains a differential equation to solve for the argument f(s) of the velocity. Differently from Pons and de Palol, who employed the particular solution, linear in the proper time s, we obtain the general solution and use it to work out more general expressions for the kinematical quantities. As a byproduct, we obtain a class of modified Rindler hyperbolic worldlines characterized by supplementary contributions to the components of the kinematical quantities.

The dynamical aspect of accelerating cosmological model has been studied in this paper in the context of modified symmetric teleparallel gravity, the $f(Q)$ gravity. Initially, we have derived the dynamical parameters for two well known forms of $f(Q)$ such as: (i) log-square-root form and (ii) exponential form. The equation of state (EoS) parameter for the dark energy in the $f(Q)$ gravity in both the models emerges into a dynamical quantity. At present model-I shows the quintessence behavior and behave like the $\Lambda$CDM at the late time whereas model-II shows phantom behaviour. Further, the dynamical system analysis has been performed to determine the cosmological behaviour of the models along with its stability behaviour. For both the models the critical points are obtained and analysed the stability at each critical points with phase portraits. The evolutionary behaviour of density parameters for the matter-dominated, radiation-dominated, and dark energy phases are also shown for both the models.

The recent compelling observation of the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background has brought to light a new galactic arena to test gravity. In this paper, we derive a formula for the most general expression of the stochastic gravitational wave background correlation that could be tested with pulsar timing and future square kilometer arrays. Our expressions extends the harmonic space analysis, also often referred to as the power spectrum approach, to predict the correlation signatures of an anisotropic polarized stochastic gravitational wave background with subluminal tensor, vector, and scalar gravitational degrees of freedom. We present the first few nontrivial anisotropy and polarization signatures in the correlation and discuss their dependence on the gravitational wave speed and pulsar distances. Our results set up tests that could potentially be used to rigorously examine the isotropy of the stochastic gravitational wave background and strengthen the existing constraints on possible non-Einsteinian polarizations in the nanohertz gravitational wave regime.

The macroscopic properties of compact stars in modified gravity theories can be significantly different from the general relativistic (GR) predictions. Within the gravitational context of scalar-tensor theories, with a scalar field $\phi$ and coupling function $\Phi(\phi)= \exp[2\phi/\sqrt{3}]$, we investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium structure of neutron stars for the simple potential $V(\phi)= \omega\phi^2/2$ defined in the Einstein frame (EF). From the scalar field in the EF, we also interpret such theories as $f(R)$ gravity in the corresponding Jordan frame (JF). The mass-radius relations, proper mass, and binding energy are obtained for a polytropic equation of state (EoS) in the JF. Our results reveal that the maximum-mass values increase substantially as $\omega$ gets smaller, while the radius and mass decrease in the low-central-density region as we move further away from the pure GR scenario. Furthermore, a cusp is formed when the binding energy is plotted as a function of the proper mass, which indicates the appearance of instability. Specifically, we find that the central-density value where the binding energy is a minimum corresponds precisely to $dM/d\rho_c^J = 0$ on the $M(\rho_c^J)$-curve.

Modifications to general relativity lead to effects in the spectrum of quasi-normal modes of black holes. In this paper, we develop a parametrized formalism to describe deviations from general relativity in the Teukolsky equation, which governs linear perturbations of spinning black holes. We do this by introducing a correction to the effective potential of the Teukolsky equation in the form of a $1/r$ expansion controlled by free parameters. The method assumes that a small deviation in the effective potential induces a small modification in the spectrum of modes and in the angular separation constants. We isolate and compute the universal linear contribution to the quasi-normal mode frequencies and separation constants in a set of coefficients, and test them against known examples in the literature (massive scalar field, Dudley-Finley equation and higher-derivative gravity). We make the coefficients publicly available for relevant overtone, angular momentum and azimuthal numbers of modes and different values of the black hole spin.

We present results from a new technique which allows extraction of gravitational radiation information from a generic three-dimensional numerical relativity code and provides stable outer boundary conditions. In our approach we match the solution of a Cauchy evolution of the nonlinear Einstein field equations to a set of one-dimensional linear equations obtained through perturbation techniques over a curved background. We discuss the validity of this approach in the case of linear and mildly nonlinear gravitational waves and show how a numerical module developed for this purpose is able to provide an accurate and numerically convergent description of the gravitational wave propagation and a stable numerical evolution.

We examine the model of Two-Dimensional Quadratic Gravity as a consequence of symmetry breaking within the framework of background field (BF) theory. This theory is essentially an extension of BF theory, introducing an additional polynomial term that operates on both the gauge and background fields. We analyze the theory using the Dirac and Faddeev-Jackiw procedures, determining the form of the gauge transformation, the full structure of the constraints, the counting of degrees of freedom, and the generalized Faddeev-Jackiw brackets. Additionally, we demonstrate the coincidence of the Faddeev-Jackiw and Dirac's brackets. Finally, we provide some remarks and discuss prospects.

Additionally, we demonstrate the coincidence of the Faddeev-Jackiw and Dirac's brackets. Finally, we provide some remarks and discuss prospects.

Many inequivalent approaches to study black holes yield identical results. Any meaningful theory of gravity should explain the origin of this property. Here we show that the basic holomorphic modes characterising the underlying two dimensional conformal symmetry near the horizon bring about this universality. Moreover these modes lead to a law of equipartition of energy for black holes which suggests a statistical origin of gravity. This emergent nature of gravity is further bolstered by showing the equivalence of entropy with the action $\left(S=-\frac{i}{\hbar}\,I\right)$ and expressing the generalised Smarr formula for mass as a thermodynamic relation, $S=\frac{E}{2T}$ where $S$, $E$ and $T$ are the entropy, energy and temperature, respectively, of a black hole.

A wave-front in a space-time $\cal M$ is a family of null geodesics orthogonal to a smooth spacelike two-surface in $\cal M$; it is of some interest to know how a wave-front can fail to be a smoothly immersed surface in $\cal M$. In this paper we see that the space of null geodesics $\cal N$ of $\cal M$, considered as a contact manifold, provides a natural setting for an efficient study of the stable singularities arising in the time evolution of wave-fronts.

We investigate the covariant Hamiltonian symplectic structure of General Relativity for spatially bounded regions of spacetime with a fixed time-flow vector. For existence of a well-defined Hamiltonian variational principle taking into account a spatial boundary, it is necessary to modify the standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian by adding a boundary term whose form depends on the spatial boundary conditions for the gravitational field. The most general mathematically allowed boundary conditions and corresponding boundary terms are shown to be determined by solving a certain equation obtained from the symplectic current pulled back to the hypersurface boundary of the spacetime region. A main result is that we obtain a covariant derivation of Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed type boundary conditions on the gravitational field at a fixed boundary hypersurface, together with the associated Hamiltonian boundary terms. As well, we establish uniqueness of these boundary conditions under certain assumptions motivated by the form of the symplectic current. Our analysis uses a Noether charge method which extends and unifies several results developed in recent literature for General Relativity. As an illustration of the method, we apply it to the Maxwell field equations to derive allowed boundary conditions and boundary terms for existence of a well-defined Hamiltonian variational principle for an electromagnetic field in a fixed spatially bounded region of Minkowski spacetime.

Maximally dissipative boundary conditions are applied to the initial-boundary value problem for Einstein's equations in harmonic coordinates to show that it is well-posed for homogeneous boundary data and for boundary data that is small in a linearized sense. The method is implemented as a nonlinear evolution code which satisfies convergence tests in the nonlinear regime and is robustly stable in the weak field regime. A linearized version has been stably matched to a characteristic code to compute the gravitational waveform radiated to infinity.

We briefly review exact solutions of the NNSE, specially those obtained through "geometric equivalence" methods. Furthemore, we argue that the integrability of the NNSE could be linked to consistency conditions derived from LQC, under the assumption that the patchwork dynamics behaves as an integrable many-body system.

We study the non-perturbative evolution of inflationary fluctuations during preheating using fully non-linear general-relativistic field-theory simulations. We choose a single-field inflationary model that is consistent with observational constraints and start the simulations at the end of inflation with fluctuations both in the field and its conjugate momentum. Gravity enhances the growth of density perturbations, which then collapse and virialize, forming long-lived stable oscillon-like stars that reach compactnesses $\mathcal{C}\equiv GM/R \sim 10^{-3}-10^{-2}$. We find that $\mathcal{C}$ increases for larger field models, until it peaks due to the interplay between the overdensity growth and Hubble expansion rates. Whilst gravitational effects can play an important role in the formation of compact oscillons during preheating, the objects are unlikely to collapse into primordial black holes without an additional enhancement of the initial inflationary fluctuations.

In this proceeding, we review modified theories of gravity with a curvature-matter coupling between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature and the Lagrangian density of matter. This explicit nonminimal coupling induces a non-vanishing covariant derivative of the energy-momentum tensor, that implies non-geodesic motion and consequently leads to the appearance of an extra force. Here, we explore the physical and cosmological implications of the nonconservation of the energy-momentum tensor by using the formalism of irreversible thermodynamics of open systems in the presence of matter creation/annihilation. The particle creation rates, pressure, and the expression of the comoving entropy are obtained in a covariant formulation and discussed in detail. Applied together with the gravitational field equations, the thermodynamics of open systems lead to a generalization of the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmological paradigm, in which the particle creation rates and pressures are effectively considered as components of the cosmological fluid energy-momentum tensor. Furthermore, we also briefly present the coupling of curvature to geometry in conformal quadratic Weyl gravity, by assuming a coupling term of the form $L_m\tilde{R}^2$, where $L_m$ is the ordinary matter Lagrangian, and $\tilde{R}$ is the Weyl scalar. The coupling explicitly satisfies the requirement of the conformal invariance of the theory. Expressing $\tilde{R}^2$ with the use of an auxiliary scalar field and of the Weyl scalar, the gravitational action can be linearized in the Ricci scalar, leading in the Riemann space to a conformally invariant $f\left(R,L_m\right)$ type theory, with the matter Lagrangian nonminimally coupled to geometry.

Besides scalarized black holes and wormholes, Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories allow also for particle-like solutions. The scalar field of these particle-like solutions diverges at the origin, akin to the divergence of the Coulomb potential at the location of a charged particle. However, these particle-like solutions possess a globally regular metric, and their effective stress energy tensor is free from pathologies, as well. We determine the domain of existence for particle-like solutions in a number of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories, considering dilatonic and power-law coupling functions, and we analyze the physical properties of the solutions. Interestingly, the solutions may possess pairs of lightrings, and thus represent ultra-compact objects. We determine the location of these lightrings, and study the effective potential for the occurrence of echoes in the gravitational-wave spectrum. We also address the relation of these particle-like solutions to the respective wormhole and black-hole solutions, and clarify the limiting procedure to recover the Fisher solution (also known as Janis-Newman-Winicourt-Wyman solution).

We discuss the entropy generation in quantum tunneling of a relativistic particle under the influence of a time varying force with the help of squeezing formalism. It is shown that if one associates classical coarse grained entropy to the phase space volume, there is an inevitable entropy increase due to the changes in position and momentum variances. The entropy change can be quantified by a simple expression $\Delta S=\ln\cosh 2r$, where $r$ is the squeeze parameter measuring the "height" and "width" of the potential barrier. We suggest that the universe could have acquired its initial entropy in a quantum squeeze from "nothing" and briefly discuss the implications of our proposal.

In this paper we give, for the first time, a complete description of the dynamics of tilted spatially homogeneous cosmologies of Bianchi type II. The source is assumed to be a perfect fluid with equation of state $p = (\gamma -1) \mu$, where $\gamma$ is a constant. We show that unless the perfect fluid is stiff, the tilt destabilizes the Kasner solutions, leading to a Mixmaster-like initial singularity, with the tilt being dynamically significant. At late times the tilt becomes dynamically negligible unless the equation of state parameter satisfies $\gamma > {10/7}$. We also find that the tilt does not destabilize the flat FL model, with the result that the presence of tilt increases the likelihood of intermediate isotropization.

The validity of our already proposed conjecture -- {\it horizon creates a local instability which acts as the source of the quantum temperature of black hole} -- is being tested here for Kerr black hole. Earlier this has been explicitly shown for spherically symmetric static black hole (SSS BH). The more realistic situation like Kerr spacetime, being stationary and axisymmetric, is a non-trivial example to analyze. We show that for a chargeless massless particle, the near horizon radial motion in Kerr spacetime, like SSS BH, can be locally unstable. The radial contribution in the corresponding Hamiltonian is $\sim xp$ kind, where $p$ is the canonical momentum and $x$ is its conjugate position of particle. Finally we show that the horizon thermalization can be explained through this Hamiltonian when one dose a semi-classical analysis. It again confirms that near horizon instability is liable for its own temperature and moreover generalizes the validity of our conjectured mechanism for the black hole horizon thermalization.

The validity of our already proposed conjecture -- {\it horizon creates a local instability which acts as the source of the quantum temperature of black hole} -- is being tested here for Kerr black hole. Earlier this has been explicitly shown for spherically symmetric static black hole (SSS BH). The more realistic situation like Kerr spacetime, being stationary and axisymmetric, is a non-trivial example to analyze. We show that for a chargeless massless particle, the near horizon radial motion in Kerr spacetime, like SSS BH, can be locally unstable. The radial contribution in the corresponding Hamiltonian is $\sim xp$ kind, where $p$ is the canonical momentum and $x$ is its conjugate position of particle. Finally we show that the horizon thermalization can be explained through this Hamiltonian when one dose a semi-classical analysis. It again confirms that near horizon instability is liable for its own temperature and moreover generalizes the validity of our conjectured mechanism for the black hole horizon thermalization.

Aims: Recently, cosmological fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been used to provide the most stringent limit up to date on Einstein's Equivalence Principle (EEP). We study how to further test EEP with FRBs. Methods: Future systematic radio surveys will certainly find abundant FRBs at cosmological distances and some of them will inevitably be located behind clusters of galaxies. Here we suggest to use those FRBs to further test EEP. Results: We find that the robustness and accuracy of testing EEP can be improved further by orders of magnitude with these FRBs. The same methodology can also be applied to any other types of fast and bright transients at cosmological distances.

In this paper we study a model of the two-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator in a 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter background. We use a generalized Schr\"odinger picture in which the analogs of the Schr\"odinger operators of the particle are independent of both the time and the space coordinates in different representations. The spacetime independent operators of the particle induce the Lie algebra of Killing vector fields of the $AdS_3$ spacetime. In this picture, we have a metamorphosis of the Heisenberg's uncertainty relations.

We study the quantum avoidance of the big rip singularity in the Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) phantom model. Instead of considering a simple phantom dark energy component, which is described by a perfect fluid, we consider a more fundamental degree of freedom corresponding to a phantom scalar field with its corresponding potential, which would lead the classical universe to a big rip singularity. We apply a quantum geometrodynamical approach by performing an appropriate Hamiltonian study including an analysis of the constraints of the system. We then derive the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation and see whether the solutions to the WDW equation satisfy the DeWitt boundary condition. We find that by using a suitable Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation, whose validity is proven, the DeWitt condition is satisfied. Therefore, the big rip singularity is expected to be avoided in the quantum realm.

In the first part of this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem for wave propagation in some static spacetimes presenting a singular time-like boundary is well posed, if we only demand the waves to have finite energy, although no boundary condition is required. This feature does not come from essential self-adjointness, which is false in these cases, but from a different phenomenon that we call the alternative well-posedness property, whose origin is due to the degeneracy of the metric components near the boundary. Beyond these examples, in the second part, we characterize the type of degeneracy which leads to this phenomenon.

We introduce a string-inspired model for a bouncing/cyclic universe, utilizing the scalar-tachyon coupling as well as contribution from curvature in a closed universe. The universe undergoes the locked inflation, tachyon matter dominated rolling expansion, turnaround and contraction, as well as the subsequent deflation and "bounce" in each cycle of the cosmological evolution. We perform extensive analytic and numerical studies of the above evolution process. The minimum size of the universe is nonzero for generic initial values. The smooth bounce are made possible because of the negative contribution to effective energy density by the curvature term. No ghosts are ever generated at any point in the entire evolution of the universe, with the Null, Weak, and Dominant Energy Conditions preserved even at the bounce points, contrary to many bounce models previously proposed. And the Strong Energy Condition is satisfied in periods with tachyon matter domination.

Our result shows the conformal symmetry is spontaneously broken due to the periodicity of the azimuthal angle. The absorption across section is in consistence with the finite temperature absorption cross section for a 2D CFT. The entropies of the black holes are reproduced by the Cardy formula.

We show that the Lorentz force is included in the ensuing equations of motion. The four dimensional Einstein and Maxwell equations emerge from the field equations while the homogeneous Maxwell equations naturally appear in the work. A corresponding quantum theory is introduced. The spectrum of a free particle and the hydrogen atom are recovered. Quantum structure of Schwarzschild spaces are also studied.

Dense nuclear matter is expected to be anisotropic due to effects such as solidification, superfluidity, strong magnetic fields, hyperons, pion-condesation. Therefore an anisotropic neutron star core seems more realistic than an ideally isotropic one. We model anisotropic neutron stars working in the Krori-Barua (KB) ansatz without preassuming an equation of state. We show that the physics of general KB solutions is encapsulated in the compactness. Imposing physical and stability requirements yields a maximum allowed compactness $2GM/Rc^2 < 0.71$ for a KB-spacetime. We further input observational data from numerous pulsars and calculate the boundary density. We focus especially on data from the LIGO/Virgo collaboration as well as recent independent measurements of mass and radius of miilisecond pulsars with white dwarf companions by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). For these data the KB-spacetime gives the same boundary density which surprisingly equals the nuclear saturation density within the data precision. Since this value designates the boundary of a neutron core, the KB-spacetime applies naturally to neutron stars. For this boundary condition we calculate a maximum mass of 4.1 solar masses.

A general property of universes without initial singularity is investigated based on the singularity theorem, assuming the null convergence condition and the global hyperbolicity. As a direct consequence of the singularity theorem, the universal covering of a Cauchy surface of a nonsingular universe with a past trapped surface must have the topology of $S^3$. In addition, we find that the affine size of a nonsingular universe, defined through the affine length of null geodesics, is bounded above. In the case where a part of the nonsingular spacetime is described by Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime, we find that this upper bound can be understood as the affine size of the corresponding closed de Sitter universe. We also evaluate the upper bound of the affine size of our Universe based on the trapped surface confirmed by recent observations of baryon acoustic oscillations, assuming that our Universe has no initial singularity.

Gravitational lensing in the weak field limit, quasinormal spectra, and gray-body factors are investigated in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime corrected by bounce parameters. Using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, we analyze the effects of bounce corrections to the weak gravitational deflection angle and find that the divergence of the deflection angle can be suppressed by a bounce correction in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime. We also notice that the bounce correction plays the same role as the Morse potential in the deflection angle. Moreover, we derive the perturbation equations with the spin-dependent Regge-Wheeler potential and discuss the quasinormal spectral stability. We observe that the quasinormal spectra decrease for both the massless scalar and electromagnetic field perturbations. We further study the transmission probability of particles scattered by the Regge-Wheeler potential and reveal that the bounce correction introduced into the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime increases the gray-body factors of perturbation fields.

The Dirac wave function in a curved spacetime is usually defined as a quadruplet of scalar fields. It can alternatively be defined as a four-vector field. We describe these two representations in a common geometrical framework and we prove theorems that relate together the different representations and the different choices of connections. In particular, the standard Dirac equation in a curved spacetime, with any choice of the tetrad field, is equivalent to a particular realization of the Dirac equation for a vector wave function, in the same spacetime.

We investigate the fully general class of non-expanding, non-twisting and shear-free D-dimensional geometries using the invariant form of geodesic deviation equation which describes the relative motion of free test particles. We show that the local effect of such gravitational fields on the particles basically consists of isotropic motion caused by the cosmological constant Lambda, Newtonian-type tidal deformations typical for spacetimes of algebraic type D or II, longitudinal motion characteristic for spacetimes of type III, and type N purely transverse effects of exact gravitational waves with D(D-3)/2 polarizations. We explicitly discuss the canonical forms of the geodesic deviation motion in all algebraically special subtypes of the Kundt family for which the optically privileged direction is a multiple Weyl aligned null direction (WAND), namely D(a), D(b), D(c), D(d), III(a), III(b), IIIi, IIi, II(a), II(b), II(c) and II(d). We demonstrate that the key invariant quantities determining these algebraic types and subtypes also directly determine the specific local motion of test particles, and are thus measurable by gravitational detectors. As an example, we analyze an interesting class of type N or II gravitational waves which propagate on backgrounds of type O or D, including Minkowski, Bertotti-Robinson, Nariai and Plebanski-Hacyan universes.

We explicitly discuss the canonical forms of the geodesic deviation motion in all algebraically special subtypes of the Kundt family for which the optically privileged direction is a multiple Weyl aligned null direction (WAND), namely D(a), D(b), D(c), D(d), III(a), III(b), IIIi, IIi, II(a), II(b), II(c) and II(d). We demonstrate that the key invariant quantities determining these algebraic types and subtypes also directly determine the specific local motion of test particles, and are thus measurable by gravitational detectors. As an example, we analyze an interesting class of type N or II gravitational waves which propagate on backgrounds of type O or D, including Minkowski, Bertotti-Robinson, Nariai and Plebanski-Hacyan universes.

Gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) and black hole/neutron star (BHNS) inspirals are primary sources for detection by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The tidal forces acting on the neutron stars induce changes in the phase evolution of the gravitational waveform, and these changes can be used to constrain the nuclear equation of state. Current methods of generating BNS and BHNS waveforms rely on either computationally challenging full 3D hydrodynamical simulations or approximate analytic solutions. We introduce a new method for computing inspiral waveforms for BNS/BHNS systems by adding the post-Newtonian (PN) tidal effects to full numerical simulations of binary black holes (BBHs), effectively replacing the nontidal terms in the PN expansion with BBH results. Comparing a waveform generated with this method against a full hydrodynamical simulation of a BNS inspiral yields a phase difference of $<1$ radian over $\sim 15$ orbits. The numerical phase accuracy required of BNS simulations to measure the accuracy of the method we present here is estimated as a function of the tidal deformability parameter ${\lambda}$.

In the coming years gravitational-wave detectors will undergo a series of improvements, with an increase in their detection rate by about an order of magnitude. Routine detections of gravitational-wave signals promote novel astrophysical and fundamental theory studies, while simultaneously leading to an increase in the number of detections temporally overlapping with instrumentally- or environmentally-induced transients in the detectors (glitches), often of unknown origin. Indeed, this was the case for the very first detection by the LIGO and Virgo detectors of a gravitational-wave signal consistent with a binary neutron star coalescence, GW170817. A loud glitch in the LIGO-Livingston detector, about one second before the merger, hampered coincident detection (which was initially achieved solely with LIGO-Hanford data). Moreover, accurate source characterization depends on specific assumptions about the behavior of the detector noise that are rendered invalid by the presence of glitches. In this paper, we present the various techniques employed for the initial mitigation of the glitch to perform source characterization of GW170817 and study advantages and disadvantages of each mitigation method. We show that, despite the presence of instrumental noise transients louder than the one affecting GW170817, we are still able to produce unbiased measurements of the intrinsic parameters from simulated injections with properties similar to GW170817.

In this article, we prove the theorems concerning the trace relation of SO(3), SU(2), and SO(n) which are representation of SO(3) and SU(2). An interesting fact we found is the trace relation of SU(2) gives the spherical law of cosine which in turns is a dihedral angle relation, a constraint that must be satisfied by closed Euclidean simplices. Moreover, we applied our results on general group elements to holonomies on the simplicial complex of Regge Calculus, which is the main motivation of this article. Here, we found that: (1) in 4-dimensional Euclidean Regge Gravity, all the holonomy circling a single hinge are simple rotations, and (2) the dihedral angle relation represents the 'contracted' Bianchi identity for a simplicial complex.

A new model describing the dark sector of the universe is established. The model involves Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) as dark energy (DE) and an excited state above it as dark matter (DM). The condensate is assumed to have a negative pressure and is embodied as an exotic fluid with Chaplygin equation of state. Excitations are described as a quasiparticle gas. It is shown that the model is not in disagreement with the current observations of the cosmic acceleration. The model predicts increase of the effective cosmological constant and a complete disappearance of the matter at the far future.

It has been shown that the quasinormal modes of perturebated fields can be used to investigate the validity of strong cosmic censorship (SCC). Relevant issues for Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter (RNdS) black holes and Born-Infeld-de Sitter (BI-dS) black holes have been discussed. In this paper, we investigate SCC in an asymptotic RN-dS black hole with logarithmic nonlinear electromagnetic field perturbed by massless scalar fields. It has been argued that SCC can be violated in a near-extremal RN-dS black hole. However, we find that the NLED effect can rescue SCC for a near-extremal logarithmic-de Sitter black hole. Compared with Born-Infeld model, we find that the NLED effect have similar behavior.

We deal with phantom energy accretion onto the Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole. The energy flux conservation, relativistic Bernoulli equation and mass flux conservation equation are formulated to discuss the phantom accretion. We discuss the conditions for critical accretion. It is found that mass of the black hole decreases due to phantom accretion. There exist two critical points which lie in the exterior of horizons (black hole and cosmological horizons). The results for the phantom energy accretion onto the Schwarzschild black hole can be recovered by taking $\Lambda\rightarrow0$.

A family of exact vacuum solutions, representing generalized plane waves propagating on the (anti-)de Sitter background, is constructed in the framework of Poincar\'e gauge theory. The wave dynamics is defined by the general Lagrangian that includes all parity even and parity odd invariants up to the second order in the gauge field strength. The structure of the solution shows that the wave metric significantly depends on the spacetime torsion.

We examine spinfoam cosmology by use of a simple graph adapted to homogeneous cosmological models. We calculate dynamics in the isotropic limit, and provide the framework for the aniostropic case. The dynamical behaviour is calculating transition amplitudes between holomorphic coherent states on a single node graph. The resultant dynamics is peaked on solutions which have no support on the zero volume state, indicating that big bang type singularities are avoided within such models.

Specifically, he points out that two FLRW metrics with the same unparameterized geodesics have their energy densities differing by a constant. From this he queries whether the existence of dark energy is meaningful. We point out that physical observables in cosmology are not projectively invariant and we relate the projective symmetry uncovered by Nurowski to some previous work on projective equivalence in cosmology.

Equilibria of binary neutron stars in close circular orbits are computed numerically in a waveless formulation: The full Einstein-relativistic-Euler system is solved on an initial hypersurface to obtain an asymptotically flat form of the 4-metric and an extrinsic curvature whose time derivative vanishes in a comoving frame. Two independent numerical codes are developed, and solution sequences that model inspiraling binary neutron stars during the final several orbits are successfully computed. The binding energy of the system near its final orbit deviates from earlier results of third post-Newtonian and of spatially conformally flat calculations. The new solutions may serve as initial data for merger simulations and as members of quasiequilibrium sequences to generate gravitational wave templates, and may improve estimates of the gravitational-wave cutoff frequency set by the last inspiral orbit.

It is an interesting open problem whether two non-extremal rotating and electrically charged black holes can be in physical equilibrium, which might be possible due to a balance between the gravitational attraction and the spin-spin and electrical repulsions. Exact candidate solutions were constructed, but it is unclear whether they are physically acceptable. These solutions were obtained by assuming a particular behaviour on the symmetry axis. However, it was not known whether the assumed form of the axis data covers the general case or whether data of some other type need to be considered as well. By studying a boundary value problem for the axisymmetric and stationary Einstein-Maxwell equations, we address this question and derive the most general form of permissible axis potentials for possible equilibrium configurations.

We use the image sum method to reproduce Sushkov's result that for a massless automorphic field on the initial globally hyperbolic region $IGH$ of Misner space, one can always find a special value of the automorphic parameter $\alpha$ such that the renormalized expectation value $\langle\alpha|T_{ab}|\alpha\rangle$ in the {\it Sushkov state} ``$\langle\alpha|\cdot|\alpha\rangle$'' (i.e. the automorphic generalization of the Hiscock-Konkowski state) vanishes. However, we shall prove by elementary methods that the conclusions of a recent general theorem of Kay-Radzikowski-Wald apply in this case. I.e. for any value of $\alpha$ and any neighbourhood $N$ of any point $b$ on the chronology horizon there exists at least one pair of non-null related points $(x,x') \in (N\cap IGH)\times (N\cap IGH)$ such that the renormalized two-point function of an automorphic field $G^\alpha_{\rm ren}(x,x')$ in the Sushkov state is singular. In consequence $\langle\alpha|T_{ab}|\alpha\rangle$ (as well as other renormalized expectation values such as $\langle\alpha|\phi^2|\alpha\rangle$) is necessarily singular {\it on} the chronology horizon. We point out that a similar situation (i.e. singularity {\it on} the chronology horizon) holds for states on Gott space and Grant space.

In consequence $\langle\alpha|T_{ab}|\alpha\rangle$ (as well as other renormalized expectation values such as $\langle\alpha|\phi^2|\alpha\rangle$) is necessarily singular {\it on} the chronology horizon. We point out that a similar situation (i.e. singularity {\it on} the chronology horizon) holds for states on Gott space and Grant space.

In this paper the symmetries of the dual manifold were investigated. We found the conditions when the manifold and its dual admit the same Killing vectors and Killing-Yano tensors. In the case of an Einstein's metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ the corresponding equations for its dual were found. The examples of Kerr-Newman geometry and the separable coordinates in 1+1 dimensions were analyzed in details.

Causes of the unsatisfactory condition of the gravitational-wave experiments are discussed and a new outlook at the detection of gravitational waves of astrophysical origin is proposed. It is shown that there are strong grounds for identifying the so-called giant pulses in the pulsar NP 0532 radiation with gravimagnetic shock waves (GMSW) excited in the neutron star magnetosphere by sporadic gravitational radiation of this pulsar.

We perform a dynamical system analysis of a cosmological model with linear dependence between the vacuum density and the Hubble parameter, with constant-rate creation of dark matter. We show that the de Sitter spacetime is an asymptotically stable critical point, future limit of any expanding solution. Our analysis also shows that the Minkowski spacetime is an unstable critical point, which eventually collapses to a singularity. In this way, such a prescription for the vacuum decay not only predicts the correct future de Sitter limit, but also forbids the existence of a stable Minkowski universe. We also study the effect of matter creation on the growth of structures and their peculiar velocities, showing that it is inside the current errors of redshift space distortions observations.

In this work, we delve into the model of the shift symmetric and parity-preserving Beyond Horndeski theory in all its generality. We present an explicit algorithm to extract static and spherically symmetric black holes with primary scalar charge adhering to the conservation of the Noether current emanating from the shift symmetry. We show that when the functionals $G_2$ and $G_4$ of the theory are linearly dependent, analytic homogeneous black-hole solutions exist, which can become regular by virtue of the primary charge contribution. Such geometries can easily enjoy the preservation of the Weak Energy Conditions, elevating them into healthier compact objects than most hairy black holes in modified theories of gravity. Finally, we revisit the concept of disformal transformations as a solution-generating mechanism and discuss the case of generic $G_2$ and $G_4$ functionals.

In this letter we shall demonstrate that the viable $F(R)$ gravities can be classified mainly into two classes of inflationary attractors, either the $R^2$ attractors or the $\alpha$-attractors. To show this, we shall derive the most general relation between the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and the spectral index of primordial curvature perturbations $n_s$, namely the $r-n_s$ relation, by assuming that the slow-roll condition constrains the values of the slow-roll indices. As we show, the relation between the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the spectral index of the primordial curvature perturbations has the form $r\simeq \frac{48 (1-n_s)^2}{(4-x)^2}$, where the dimensionless parameter $x$ contains higher derivatives of the $F(R)$ gravity function with respect to the Ricci scalar, and it is a function of the $e$-foldings number $N$ and may also be a function of the free parameters of the various $F(R)$ gravity models. For $F(R)$ gravities which have a spectral index compatible with the observational data and also yield $x\ll 1$, these belong to the $R^2$-type of attractors, with $r\sim 3 (1-n_s)^2$, and these are viable theories. Moreover, in the case that $x$ takes larger values in specific ranges and is constant for a given $F(R)$ gravity, the resulting $r-n_s$ relation has the form $r\sim 3 \alpha (1-n_s)^2$, where $\alpha$ is a constant. Thus we conclude that the viable $F(R)$ gravities may be classified into two limiting types of $r-n_s$ relations, one identical to the $R^2$ model at leading order in $x$, and one similar to the $\alpha$-attractors $r-n_s$ relation, for the $F(R)$ gravity models that yield $x$ constant. Finally, we also discuss the case that $x$ is not constant.

The Horndeski action is the most general scalar-tensor theory with at most second-order derivatives in the equations of motion, thus evading Ostrogradsky instabilities and making it of interest when modifying gravity at large scales. To pass local tests of gravity, these modifications predominantly rely on nonlinear screening mechanisms that recover Einstein's Theory of General Relativity in regions of high density. We derive a set of conditions on the four free functions of the Horndeski action that examine whether a specific model embedded in the action possesses an Einstein gravity limit or not. For this purpose, we develop a new and surprisingly simple scaling method that identifies dominant terms in the equations of motion by considering formal limits of the couplings that enter through the new terms in the modified action. This enables us to find regimes where nonlinear terms dominate and Einstein's field equations are recovered to leading order. Together with an efficient approximation of the scalar field profile, one can then further evaluate whether these limits can be attributed to a genuine screening effect. For illustration, we apply the analysis to both a cubic galileon and a chameleon model as well as to Brans-Dicke theory. Finally, we emphasise that the scaling method also provides a natural approach for performing post-Newtonian expansions in screened regimes.

The transition motion of a point particle around the last stable orbit of Kerr is described at leading order in the transition-timescale expansion. Taking systematically into account all self-force effects, we prove that the transition motion is still described by the Painlev\'e transcendent equation of the first kind. Using an asymptotically matched expansions scheme, we consistently match the quasi-circular adiabatic inspiral with the transition motion. The matching requires us to take into account the secular change of angular velocity due to radiation reaction during the adiabatic inspiral.

We assume the Bianchi I symmetry to describe a spatially homogeneous, but anisotropic universe and consider a cosmological constant $ \Lambda > 0 $ to describe an accelerated expansion of the universe. For the Boltzmann equation we introduce a new weight function and apply the method of Illner and Shinbrot to obtain the future global existence of spatially homogeneous, small solutions. For the Einstein equations we assume that the initial value of the Hubble variable is close to $ ( \Lambda / 3 )^{ 1 / 2 } $. We obtain the future global existence and asymptotic behavior of spatially homogeneous solutions to the Einstein-Boltzmann system with soft potentials.

In this paper, we consider an open system from the thermodynamic perspective for an adiabatic FRW universe model in which particle creation occurs within the system. In that case, the modified continuity equation is obtained and then we correspond it to the continuity equation of $f(T)$ gravity. So, we take $f(T)$ gravity with the viscous fluid in flat-FRW metric, in which $T$ is the torsion scalar. We consider the contents of the universe to be dark matter and dark energy and consider an interaction term between them. The interesting point of this study is that we make equivalent the modified continuity equation resulting from the particle creation with the matter continuity equation resulting from $f(T)$ gravity. The result of this evaluation creates a relationship between the number of particles and the scale factor. In what follows, we write the corresponding cosmological parameters in terms of the number of particles and also reconstruct the number of particles in terms of the redshift parameter, then We parameterize the Hubble parameter derived from power-law cosmology with 51 data from the Hubble observational parameter. Next, we plot the corresponding cosmological parameters for the dark energy in terms of the redshift to investigate the accelerated expansion of the universe. In addition, by using the sound speed parameter, we discuss the stability analysis and instability analysis of the present model in different eras of the universe. Finally, we plot the density parameter values for dark energy and dark matter in terms of the redshift parameter.

Gravitational waves emitted during the coalescence of binary neutron star systems carry information about the equation of state describing the extremely dense matter inside neutron stars. In particular, the equation of state determines the fate of the binary after the merger: a prompt collapse to black hole, or the formation of a neutron star remnant that is either stable or survives up to a few seconds before collapsing to a black hole. Determining the evolution of a binary neutron star system will therefore place strong constraints on the equation of state. We present a morphology-independent method, developed in the framework of the coherentWaveBurst analysis of signals from ground-based interferometric detectors of gravitational waves. The method characterizes the time-frequency postmerger gravitational-wave emission from a binary neutron star system, and determines whether, after the merger, it formed a remnant neutron star or promptly collapsed to a black hole. We measure the following quantities to characterize the postmerger emission: ratio of signal energies and match of luminosity profile in different frequency bands, weighted central frequency and bandwidth. From these quantities, based on the study of signals simulated through injections of numerical relativity waveforms, we build a statistics to discriminate between the different scenarios after the merger. Finally, we test our method on a set of signals simulated with new models, to estimate its efficiency as a function of the source distance.

The Buchdahl star is the limiting compactness (which is indicated by sturation of the Buchdahl bound) object without horizon. It is in general defined by the potential felt by radially falling timelike particle, $\Phi(R) = 4/9$, in the field of a static object. On the other hand black hole is similarly characterized by $\Phi(R)=1/2$ which defines the horizon. Further it is remarkable that in terms of gravitational and non-gravitational energy, the Buchdahl star is alternatively defined when gravitational energy is half of non-gravitational energy while the black hole when the two are equal. When an infinitely dispersed system of bare mass $M$ collapses under its own gravity to radius $R$, total energy encompassed inside $R$ would be $E_{tot}(R)=M-E_{grav}(R)$. That is, energy inside the object is increased by the amount equivalent to gravitational energy lying outside and which manifests as internal energy in the interior. If the interior consists of free particles in motion interacting only through gravity as is the case for the Vlasov kinetic matter, internal (gravitational) energy could be thought of as kinetic energy and the defining condition for the Buchdahl star would then be kinetic (gravitational) energy equal to half of non-gravitational (potential) energy.

The Buchdahl star is the limiting compactness (which is indicated by sturation of the Buchdahl bound) object without horizon. It is in general defined by the potential felt by radially falling timelike particle, $\Phi(R) = 4/9$, in the field of a static object. On the other hand black hole is similarly characterized by $\Phi(R)=1/2$ which defines the horizon. Further it is remarkable that in terms of gravitational and non-gravitational energy, the Buchdahl star is alternatively defined when gravitational energy is half of non-gravitational energy while the black hole when the two are equal. When an infinitely dispersed system of bare mass $M$ collapses under its own gravity to radius $R$, total energy encompassed inside $R$ would be $E_{tot}(R)=M-E_{grav}(R)$. That is, energy inside the object is increased by the amount equivalent to gravitational energy lying outside and which manifests as internal energy in the interior. If the interior consists of free particles in motion interacting only through gravity as is the case for the Vlasov kinetic matter, internal (gravitational) energy could be thought of as kinetic energy and the defining condition for the Buchdahl star would then be kinetic (gravitational) energy equal to half of non-gravitational (potential) energy. Consequently it could be envisaged that equilibrium of the Buchdahl star interior is governed by the celebrated Virial theorem like relation (average kinetic energy equal to half of average potential energy). On the same count the black hole equilibrium is governed by equality of gravitational and non-gravitational energy !

We attempt to provide a mesoscopic treatment of the origin of black hole entropy in (3+1)-dimensional spacetimes. We ascribe this entropy to the non-trivial topology of the space-like sections $\Sigma$ of the horizon. This is not forbidden by topological censorship, since all the known energy inequalities needed to prove the spherical topology of $\Sigma$ are violated in quantum theory. We choose the systoles of $\Sigma$ to encode its complexity, which gives rise to the black hole entropy. We present hand-waving reasons why the entropy of the black hole can be considered as a function of the volume entropy of $\Sigma$. We focus on the limiting case of $\Sigma$ having a large genus.

An open issue in loop quantum gravity (LQG) is the introduction of a non-vanishing cosmological constant $\Lambda$. In 3d, Chern-Simons theory provides some guiding lines: $\Lambda$ appears in the quantum deformation of the gauge group. The Turaev-Viro model, which is an example of spin foam model is also defined in terms of a quantum group. By extension, it is believed that in 4d, a quantum group structure could encode the presence of $\Lambda\neq0$. In this article, we introduce by hand the quantum group $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{su}(2))$ into the LQG framework, that is we deal with $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{su}(2))$-spin networks. We explore some of the consequences, focusing in particular on the structure of the observables. Our fundamental tools are tensor operators for $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{su}(2))$. We review their properties and give an explicit realization of the spinorial and vectorial ones. We construct the generalization of the U($n$) formalism in this deformed case, which is given by the quantum group $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{u}(n))$. We are then able to build geometrical observables, such as the length, area or angle operators ... We show that these operators characterize a quantum discrete hyperbolic geometry in the 3d LQG case. Our results confirm that the use of quantum group in LQG can be a tool to introduce a non-zero cosmological constant into the theory.

We have already derived the Criteria for thermal stability of charged rotating black holes in any dimension , for horizon areas that are large relative to the Planck area (in these dimensions). The derivation is done by using results of loop quantum gravity and equilibrium statistical mechanics of the Grand Canonical ensemble. It is also shown there [1] that in four dimensional spacetime, ADS Kerr-Newman Black hole is thermally stable. In this paper, the expectation values of fluctuations of horizon area,charge and angular momentum of stable ADS black hole are calculated. Interestingly, it is found that leading order fluctuations of charge and angular momentum , in large horizon area limit , are independent of the values of charge and angular momentum at equilibrium.

Black hole apparent horizons possess a natural notion of stability, whose spectral characterization can be related to the problem of the stationary quantum charged particle. Such mathematical relation leads to an "analyticity conjecture" on the dependence of the spectral properties on a complex "fine-structure-constant" parameter, that can reduce the study of the spectrum of the (non-selfadjoint) MOTS-stability operator to that of the (selfadjoint) Hamiltonian of the quantum charged particle. Moreover, this perspective might open an avenue to the spinorial treatment of apparent horizon (MOTS-)stability and to the introduction of semiclassical tools to explore some of the qualitative aspects of this black hole spectral problem.

Quantum Grav. {\bf 38} (2021), 145010; K.~Nakamura, Letters in High Energy Physics {\bf 2021} (2021), 215.]. We first review our general framework of the gauge-invariant perturbation theory, which can be easily extended to the {\it higher-order} perturbation theory. When we apply this general framework to perturbations on the Schwarzschild background spacetime, a gauge-invariant treatments of $l=0,1$ mode perturbations are required. On the other hand, in the current consensus on the perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime, gauge-invariant treatments for $l=0,1$ modes are difficult if we keep the reconstruction of the original metric perturbations in our mind. Based on this situation, we propose a strategy of a gauge-invariant treatments of $l=0,1$ mode perturbations through the decomposition of the metric perturbations by singular harmonic functions at once and the regularization of this singularity through the imposition of the boundary conditions to the Einstein equations. Following this proposal, we derive the linearized Einstein equations for any modes of $l\geq 0$ in a gauge-invariant manner. We discuss the solutions to the odd-mode perturbation equations in the linearized Einstein equations and show that these perturbations include the Kerr parameter perturbation in these odd-mode perturbation, which is physically reasonable.

Starting from Newton's gravitational theory, we give a general introduction into the spherically symmetric solution of Einstein's vacuum field equation, the Schwarzschild(-Droste) solution, and into one specific stationary axially symmetric solution, the Kerr solution. The Schwarzschild solution is unique and its metric can be interpreted as the exterior gravitational field of a spherically symmetric mass. The Kerr solution is only unique if the multipole moments of its mass and its angular momentum take on prescribed values. Its metric can be interpreted as the exterior gravitational field of a suitably rotating mass distribution. Both solutions describe objects exhibiting an event horizon, a frontier of no return. The corresponding notion of a black hole is explained to some extent. Eventually, we present some generalizations of the Kerr solution.

The necessary information to distinguish a local inhomogeneous mass density field from its spatial average on a compact domain of the universe can be measured by relative information entropy. The Kullback-Leibler (KL) formula arises very naturally in this context, however, it provides a very complicated way to compute the mutual information between spatially separated but causally connected regions of the universe in a realistic, inhomogeneous model. To circumvent this issue, by considering a parametric extension of the KL measure, we develop a simple model to describe the mutual information which is entangled via the gravitational field equations. We show that the Tsallis relative entropy can be a good approximation in the case of small inhomogeneities, and for measuring the independent relative information inside the domain, we propose the R\'enyi relative entropy formula.

A Bianchi type-VI cosmological model in the presence of a magnetic flux together with a cloud of cosmic strings is considered. In general, the presence of a magnetic field imposes severe restrictions regarding the consistency of the field equations. These difficulties could be overtaken working either in a Bianchi type-VI$_0$ spacetime or assuming a particular coordinate-dependence of the magnetic field. Using a few plausible assumptions regarding the parametrization of the cosmic strings, some exact analytical solutions are presented. Their asymptotic behavior for large time is exhibited.

This does not imply, however, that in all these theories an observer will see the same deflection angle. Owed to the need to calibrate the Newton constant, the deflection angle may be model-dependent after all necessary types of measurements are taken into account.

We show that in the brane-world settings the formulation of the quantum cosmology, including the problem of initial conditions, is conceptually more simple than in the 3+1-dimensional case. The Wheeler-deWitt equation is a finite-difference equation. It is exactly solvable in the case of a flat universe and we find the ground state of the system.

We define passive and active gravitational mass operators of the simplest composite quantum body - a hydrogen atom. Although they do not commute with its energy operator, the equivalence between the expectation values of passive and active gravitational masses and energy is shown to survive for stationary quantum states. In our calculations of passive gravitational mass operator, we take into account not only kinetic and Coulomb potential energies but also the so-called relativistic corrections to electron motion in a hydrogen atom. Inequivalence between passive and active gravitational masses and energy at a macroscopic level is demonstrated to reveal itself as time dependent oscillations of the expectation values of the gravitational masses for superpositions of stationary quantum states. Breakdown of the equivalence between passive gravitational mass and energy at a microscopic level reveals itself as unusual electromagnetic radiation, emitted by macroscopic ensemble of hydrogen atoms, moved by small spacecraft with constant velocity in the Earth's gravitational field. We suggest the corresponding experiment on the Earth's orbit to detect this radiation, which would be the first direct experiment where quantum effects in general relativity are observed.

Recently, spherically symmetric, static wormholes supported by exotic dust and a radial magnetic field have been derived and argued to be stable with respect to linear radial fluctuations. In this report we point out that these wormholes are unstable due to the formation of shell-crossing singularities when the nonlinearities of the theory are taken into account.

We investigate the occurrence of shell crossing singularities in quasi-spherical Szekeres dust models with or without a cosmological constant. We study the conditions for shell crossing singularity both from physical and geometrical point of view and they are in agreement.

Recently, it was argued that charged Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes admit critical behavior, without extending phase space, similar to the Van der Waals fluid system in the $Q^2-\Psi$ plans where $\Psi=1/v$ (the conjugate of $Q^2$) is the inverse of the specific volume \cite{Dehy}. In this picture, the square of the charge of the black hole, $Q^2$, is treated as a thermodynamic variable and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is fixed. In this paper, we would like to examine whether this new approach toward critical behaviour of AdS black holes can work in other gravity such as Gauss-Bonnet (GB) gravity as well as in higher dimensional spacetime. We obtain the equation of state, $Q^2=Q^2(\Psi, T)$, Gibbs free energy and the critical quantities of the system, and study the effects of the GB coupling $\tilde{\alpha}$ on their behaviour. We find out that the critical quantities have reasonable values, provided the GB coupling constant, $\tilde{\alpha}$, is taken small and the horizon topology is assumed to be $(d-2)$-sphere. Finally, we calculate the critical exponents and show that they are independent of the model parameters and have the same values as the Van der Waals system which is predicted by the mean field theory.

The inspiral of two compact objects in gravitational wave astronomy is described by a post-Newtonian expansion in powers of $(v/c)$. In most cases, it is believed that the post-Newtonian expansion is asymptotically divergent. A standard technique for accelerating the convergence of a power series is to re-sum the series by means of a rational polynomial called a Pad\'e approximation. If we liken this approximation to a matrix, the best convergence is achieved by staying close to a diagonal Pad\'e approximation. This broadly presents two subsets of the approximation : a super-diagonal approximation $P^M_N$ and a sub-diagonal approximation $P_M^N$, where $M = N+\epsilon$, and $\epsilon$ takes the values of 0 or 1. Left as rational polynomials, the coefficients in both the numerator and denominator need to be re-calculated as the order of the initial power series approximation is increased. However, the sub-diagonal Pad\'e approximant is computationally advantageous as it can be expressed in terms of a Gauss-like continued fraction. Once in this form, each coefficient in the continued fraction is uniquely determined at each order. This means that as we increase the order of approximation of the original power series, we now have only one new additional coefficient to calculate in the continued fraction. While it is possible to provide explicit expressions for the continued fraction coefficients, they rapidly become unwieldy at high orders of approximation. It is also possible to numerically calculate the coefficients by means of ratios of Hankel determinants. However, these determinants can be ill-conditioned and lead to numerical instabilities. In this article, we present a method for calculating the continued fraction coefficients at arbitrary orders of approximation.

Cosmological perturbations in Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) are usually studied incorporating either holonomy corrections, where the Ashtekar connection is replaced by a suitable sinus function in order to have a well-defined quantum analogue, or inverse-volume corrections coming from the eigenvalues of the inverse-volume operator. In this paper we will develop an alternative approach to calculate cosmological perturbations in LQC based on the fact that, holonomy corrected LQC in the flat Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) geometry could be also obtained as a particular case of teleparallel $F(T)$ gravity (teleparallel LQC). The main idea of our approach is to mix the simple bounce provided by holonomy corrections in LQC with the non-singular perturbation equations given by $F(T)$ gravity, in order to obtain a matter bounce scenario as a viable alternative to slow-roll inflation. In our study, we have obtained an scale invariant power spectrum of cosmological perturbations. However, the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations is of order $1$, which does not agree with the current observations. For this reason, we suggest a model where a transition from the matter domination to a quasi de Sitter phase is produced in order to enhance the scalar power spectrum.

The end stage of a gravitational collapse process can generically result in a black hole or a naked singularity. Here we undertake a comparative analysis of the nature of tidal forces in these backgrounds. The effect of such forces is generically exemplified by the Roche limit, which predicts the distance within which a celestial object disintegrates due to the tidal effects of a second more massive object. In this paper, using Fermi normal coordinates, we numerically compute the Roche limit for a class of non-rotating naked singularity backgrounds, and compare them with known results for Schwarzschild black holes. Our analysis indicates that there might be substantially large deviations in the magnitudes of tidal forces in naked singularity backgrounds, compared to the black hole cases. If observationally established, these can prove to be an effective indicator of the nature of the singularity at a galactic centre.

We study gravitational collapse of the general spherically symmetric null strange quark fluid having the equation of state, $p = (\rho - 4B)/n$, where $B$ is the bag constant. An interesting feature that emerges is that the initial data set giving rise to naked singularity in the Vaidya collapse of null fluid gets covered due to the presence of strange quark matter component. Its implication to the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture is discussed.

We consider Horndeski cosmological models able to screen the vacuum energy coming from any field theory assuming that after this screening the space should be in a de Sitter vacuum with a particular value of the cosmological constant specified by the theory of gravity itself. The most general scalar-tensor cosmological models without higher than second order derivatives in the field equations that have a spatially flat de Sitter critical point for any kind of material content or vacuum energy are, therefore, presented. These models could allow us to understand the current accelerated expansion of the universe as the result of a dynamical evolution towards a de Sitter attractor.

The quest of deciphering the true nature of dark energy has proven to be one of the most exciting in recent times in cosmology. Various ideas have been put forward in this regard besides the usual cosmological constant approach, ranging from scalar field based models like Quintessence and Phantom dark energy to various modified gravity approaches as well. A very interesting idea then is to consider scalar field dark energy models in quantum gravitationally corrected cosmologies with the RS-II Braneworld being one of the most well known in this regard. So in this work, we consider RS-II Braneworld based scalar field dark energy models and try to look out for the existence of finite time singularities in these regimes both through a dynamical system perspective, for which we employ the Goriely-Hyde singularity analysis method, and a physical perspective. Our approach is general in the sense that it is not limited to any particular class of potentials or for any constrained parameter region for the brane tension and is valid for both Quintessence and phantom dark energy regimes. We firstly show through Goriely-Hyde procedure that finite time singularities can exist in these models for a limited set of initial conditions and that this result would hold irrespective of any consideration given to the swampland dS conjecture. We then discuss the physical nature of the singularities that can occur in this regime, where we use a well motivated ansatz for the Hubble parameter and show that these models of dark energy can allow for weak singularities like those of Type III and Type IV and can also allow for strong singularities like the Big Rip (Type I).

We analyze the core dynamics of critically coupled, superheavy gauge vortices in the (2+1) dimensional Einstein-Abelian-Higgs system. By numerically solving the Eistein and field equations for various values of the symmetry breaking scale, we identify the regime in which static solutions cease to exist and topological inflation begins. We explicitly include the topological winding of the vortices into the calculation and extract the dependence on the winding of the critical scale separating the static and inflating regimes. Extrapolation of our results suggests that topological inflation might occur within high winding strings formed at the Grand Unified scale.

Hypothetical ultralight bosonic fields will spontaneously form macroscopic bosonic halos around Kerr black holes, via superradiance, transferring part of the mass and angular momentum of the black hole into the halo. Such process, however, is only efficient if resonant: when the Compton wavelength of the field approximately matches the gravitational scale of the black hole. For a complex-valued field, the process can form a stationary, bosonic field-black hole equilibrium state - a black hole with synchronised hair. For sufficiently massive black holes, such as the one at the centre of the M87 supergiant elliptic galaxy, the hairy black hole can be robust against its own superradiant instabilities, within a Hubble time. Studying the shadows of such scalar hairy black holes, we constrain the amount of hair which is compatible with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of the M87 supermassive black hole, assuming the hair is a condensate of ultralight scalar particles of mass $\mu\sim 10^{-20}$ eV, as to be dynamically viable. We show the EHT observations set a weak constraint, in the sense that typical hairy black holes that could develop their hair dynamically, are compatible with the observations, when taking into account the EHT error bars and the black hole mass/distance uncertainty.

The average value of the interaction of these percentages, namely $\Gamma_i$ say, may be used to investigate generally the modeling of an attractor; the actual value could only be determined by data in any particular case. We have seen, for example, that it was led to investigate the subject of initially invariant submanifolds.

We investigate the possibility that the observed behavior of test particles outside galaxies, which is usually explained by assuming the existence of dark matter, is the result of the dynamical evolution of particles in a Weyl type geometry, and its associated conformally invariant Weyl geometric quadratic gravity. As a first step in our investigations we write down the simplest possible conformally invariant gravitational action, constructed in Weyl geometry, and containing the Weyl scalar, and the strength of the Weyl vector only. By introducing an auxiliary scalar field, the theoretical model can be reformulated in the Riemann geometry as scalar-vector-tensor theory, containing a scalar field, and the Weyl vector, respectively. The field equations of the theory are derived in the metric formalism, in the absence of matter. A specific static, spherically symmetric model, in which the Weyl vector has only a radial component, is considered. In this case, an exact analytic solution of the gravitational field equations can be obtained. The behavior of the galactic rotation curves is also considered in detail, and it is shown that an effective geometric mass term, with an associated density profile, can also be introduced. Three particular cases, corresponding to some specific functional forms of the Weyl vector, are also investigated. A comparison of the model with a selected sample of galactic rotation curves is also performed when an explicit breaking of conformal invariance is introduced, which allows the fix of the numerical values of the free parameters of the model. Our results show that Weyl geometric models can be considered as a viable theoretical alternative to the dark matter paradigm.

Although cosmological solutions to Einstein's equations are known to be generically singular, little is known about the nature of singularities in typical spacetimes. It is shown here how the operator splitting used in a particular symplectic numerical integration scheme fits naturally into the Einstein equations for a large class of cosmological models and thus allows study of their approach to the singularity. The numerical method also naturally singles out the asymptotically velocity term dominated (AVTD) behavior known to be characteristic of some of these models, conjectured to describe others, and probably characteristic of a subclass of the rest. The method is first applied to the unpolarized Gowdy T$^3$ cosmology. Exact pseudo-unpolarized solutions are used as a code test and demonstrate that a 4th order accurate implementation of the numerical method yields acceptable agreement. For generic initial data, support for the conjecture that the singularity is AVTD with geodesic velocity (in the harmonic map target space) < 1 is found. A new phenomenon of the development of small scale spatial structure is also observed. Finally, it is shown that the numerical method straightforwardly generalizes to an arbitrary cosmological spacetime on $T^3 \times R$ with one spacelike U(1) symmetry.

The nonlinear affine Goldstone model of the emergent gravity, built on the nonlinearly realized/hidden affine symmetry, is concisely revisited. Beyond General Relativity, the explicit violation of general invariance/relativity, under preserving general covariance, is exposed. Dependent on a nondynamical affine connection, a generally covariant second-order effective Lagrangian for metric gravity is worked out, with the general relativity violation and the gravitational dark matter serving as the signatures of emergence.

In this work the growth of density perturbations in Kantowski-Sachs cosmologies with a positive cosmological constant is studied, using the 1+3 and 1+1+2 covariant formalisms. For each wave number we obtain a closed system for scalars formed from quantities that are zero on the background and hence are gauge-invariant. The solutions to this system are then analyzed both analytically and numerically. In particular the effects of anisotropy and the behaviour close to a bounce in the cosmic scale factor are considered. We find that typically the density gradient in the bouncing directions experiences a local maximum at or slightly after the bounce.
