The study of the Canonical Forms of the Killing Tensor concerns the simultaneous resolving of the Integrability Conditions of the Killing Tensor along with the Einstein's Field Equations employing the framework of Newman-Penrose Formalism. We present all the Petrov Types admitting the 2nd and 3rd Canonical Forms of Killing Tensor in Vacuum in the frame of General Theory of Relativity. During the investigation of the Type D solution of 2nd Canonical form of the Killing Tensor the Carter's Case [D] solution in Vacuum emerged.

According to the gauge/gravity duality, the Van der Waals transition of charged AdS black holes in extended phase space is conjectured to be dual to a renormalization group flow on the space of field theories. So exploring the Van der Waals transition is potentially valuable for studying holographic properties of charged black hole thermodynamics. There are different transition behaviors for charged dilatonic AdS black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theory with string-inspired potential with different dilaton coupling constants in diverse dimensions. In this work, we find a special class of charged dilatonic AdS black holes which have the standard Van der Waals transition. We study the extended thermodynamics of the special class of black holes, which, in the extremal limit, have near-horizon geometry conformal to AdS$_2 \times S^{D-2}$. We find that, for these black holes, both the pressure-volume transition in fixed charge ensemble and the inverse temperature-entropy transition in fixed pressure ensemble have the standard Van der Waals behaviors. We also find the holographic entanglement entropy undergoes the same transition behaviors for the same critical temperature in fixing the thermodynamic pressure ensemble.

This paper explores the viability and stability of compact stellar objects characterized by anisotropic matter in the framework of $f(\mathrm{Q},\mathrm{T})$ theory, where $\mathrm{Q}$ denotes non-metricity and $\mathrm{T}$ represents the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. We consider a specific model of this theory to obtain explicit expressions for the field equations governing the behavior of matter and geometry in this context. Furthermore, the Karmarkar condition is employed to assess the configuration of static spherically symmetric structures. The values of unknown constants in the metric potentials are determined through matching conditions of the interior and exterior spacetimes. Various physical quantities such as fluid parameters, energy constraints, equation of state parameters, mass, compactness and redshift are graphically analyzed to evaluate the viability of the considered compact stars. The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation is used to examine the equilibrium state of the stellar models. Moreover, the stability of the proposed compact stars is investigated through sound speed and adiabatic index methods. This study concludes that the proposed compact stars analyzed in this theoretical framework are viable and stable, as all the required conditions are satisfied.

It was originally thought that Bonnor's solution in Einstein-Maxwell theory describes a singular point-like magnetic dipole. Lately, however, it has been demonstrated that indeed it may describe a black {\it dihole}, i.e., a pair of static, oppositely-charged extremal black holes with regular horizons. Motivated particularly by this new interpretation, in the present work, the construction and extensive analysis of a solution in the context of the Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory representing a black dihole are attempted. It has been known for some time that the solution-generating algorithm of Singh and Rai produces stationary, axisymmetric, charged solutions in Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory from the known such solutions in Einstein-Maxwell theory. Thus this algorithm of Singh and Rai's is employed in order to construct a Bonnor-type magnetic black dihole solution in Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory from the known Bonnor solution in Einstein-Maxwell theory. The peculiar feature of the new solution including internal infinity nature of the symmetry axis and its stability issue have been discussed in full detail.

Compact objects in general relativity approximately move along geodesics of spacetime. It is shown that the corrections to geodesic motion due to spin (dipole), quadrupole, and higher multipoles can be modeled by an extension of the point mass action. The quadrupole contributions are discussed in detail for astrophysical objects like neutron stars or black holes. Implications for binaries are analyzed for a small mass ratio situation. There quadrupole effects can encode information about the internal structure of the compact object, e.g., in principle they allow a distinction between black holes and neutron stars, and also different equations of state for the latter. Furthermore, a connection between the relativistic oscillation modes of the object and a dynamical quadrupole evolution is established.

We derive the solutions of gravitational waves in the future (F) expanding and the past (P) shrinking Kanser spacetimes as well as in the left (L) and right (R) Rindler wedges in the Regge-Wheeler gauge. The solutions for all metric components are obtained in an analytic form in each region. We identify the master variables, which are equivalent to massless scalar fields, to describe the gravitational degrees of freedom for the odd parity and even parity modes under the transformation in the two-dimensional plane symmetric space. Then, the master variables are quantized, and we develop the quantum field theory of the gravitational waves in the F, P, L, and R regions. We demonstrate that the mode functions of the quantized gravitational waves in the left and right Rindler wedges are obtained by an analytic continuation of the left-moving and right-moving wave modes in Kasner spacetime. On the basis of these analyses, we discuss the Unruh effect of quantized gravitational waves for an observer in a uniformly accelerated motion in Minkowski spacetime.

We propose the concept of MoNDian dark matter which behaves like cold dark matter at cluster and cosmic scales but emulates modified Newtonian dynamics at the galactic scale. The connection between global physics and local galactic dynamics is implemented via entropic gravity. We also give an alternative formulation of MoNDian dark matter by using an effective gravitational Born-Infeld theory. In the latter approach, we show that the quanta of MoNDian dark matter obey infinite statistics.

After a brief summary of the basic properties of stationary spacetimes representing rotating, charged black holes in strong axisymmetric magnetic fields, we concentrate on extremal cases, for which the horizon surface gravity vanishes. We investigate their properties by constructing simpler spacetimes that exhibit their geometries near degenerate horizons. Starting from the symmetry arguments we find that the near-horizon geometries of extremal magnetised Kerr-Newman black holes can be characterised by just one dimensionless parameter: "effective Kerr-Newman mixing angle". Employing the near-horizon geometries we demonstrate the Meissner effect of magnetic field expulsion from extremal black holes.

There is ongoing interest in the nonmetricity formulation of gravity. The nonlinear extension of the theory, called $f(Q)$ gravity, has recently been proposed and offers a promising avenue for addressing some of the long-standing challenges in cosmology and fundamental physics. A number of solutions have already been found that have confirmed the usefulness of the theory for astrophysics and cosmology. Motivated by earlier work on G\"odel-type spacetimes, we investigate whether $f(Q)$ gravity admits cosmological solutions that violate causality. We find that G\"odel-type metrics do not appear to be compatible with this modified gravity theory unless it reduces to the trivial case of symmetric teleparallel gravity, corresponding to $f(Q)=AQ+B$, which is equivalent to general relativity. For $f(Q)$ more general than linear, the theory seems endowed with some chronology protection mechanism that shields it from G\"odel-like causality violations.

Regarding the volume as independent thermodynamic variable we point out that black hole horizons can hide positive heat capacity and specific heat. Such horizons are mechanically marginal, but thermally stable. In the absence of a canonical volume definition, we consider various suggestions scaling differently with the horizon radius. Assuming Euler-homogeneity of the entropy, besides the Hawking temperature, a pressure and a corresponding work term render the equation of state at the horizon thermally stable for any meaningful volume concept that scales larger than the horizon area. When considering also a Stefan--Boltzmann radiation like equation of state at the horizon, only one possible solution emerges: the Christodoulou--Rovelli volume, scaling as $V\sim R^5$, with an entropy $S = \frac{8}{3}S_{BH}$.

Circa 1962 Hans A. Buchdahl pioneered a program -- and made significant progress -- seeking vacuo configurations in pure $\mathcal{R}^{2}$ gravity [H. A. Buchdahl, Nuovo Cimento 23, 141 (1962)]. Unfortunately, he deemed the final step in his calculations impassable and prematurely suspended his pursuit. Since then, his achievements on this front have faded into dormancy. Unbeknownst to Buchdahl himself, the $\mathcal{R}^{2}$ vacua that he sought were within $\textit{his}$ striking distance. In our recent three-paper body of work published in Phys. Rev. D, we broke this six-decades-old impasse and accomplished his goal: A novel class of metrics, describing non-Schwarzschild spacetimes in quadratic gravity and carrying a hallmark of higher-derivative characteristic. Intriguing properties of Buchdahl-inspired spacetimes and their associated Morris-Thorne-Buchdahl wormholes -- summarized herein -- embody a new branch of phenomenology that transcends the Einstein-Hilbert paradigm.

Exciting modes due to the aberration of gravitational waves: Measurability for extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

Gravitational waves from a source moving relative to us can suffer from special-relativistic effects such as aberration. The required velocities for these to be significant are on the order of $1000\,\textrm{km s}^{-1}$. This value corresponds to the velocity dispersion that one finds in clusters of galaxies. Hence, we expect a large number of gravitational-wave sources to have such effects imprinted in their signals. In particular, the signal from a moving source will have its higher modes excited, i.e., $(3,3)$ and beyond. We derive expressions describing this effect, and study its measurability for the specific case of a circular, non-spinning extreme-mass-ratio inspiral. We find that the excitation of higher modes by a peculiar velocity of $1000\,\textrm{km\,s}^{-1}$ is detectable for such inspirals with signal-to-noise ratios of $\gtrsim20$. Using a Fisher matrix analysis, we show that the velocity of the source can be measured to a precision of just a few percent for a signal-to-noise ratio of 100. If the motion of the source is ignored parameter estimates could be biased, e.g., the estimated masses of the components through a Doppler shift. Conversely, by including this effect in waveform models, we could measure the velocity dispersion of clusters of galaxies at distances inaccessible to light.

Gravitational waves from a source moving relative to us can suffer from special-relativistic effects such as aberration. The required velocities for these to be significant are on the order of $1000\,\textrm{km s}^{-1}$. This value corresponds to the velocity dispersion that one finds in clusters of galaxies. Hence, we expect a large number of gravitational-wave sources to have such effects imprinted in their signals. In particular, the signal from a moving source will have its higher modes excited, i.e., $(3,3)$ and beyond. We derive expressions describing this effect, and study its measurability for the specific case of a circular, non-spinning extreme-mass-ratio inspiral.

The Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld model is employed to study the gravitational collapse of dust, with a Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term present in the five-dimensional bulk. We find that, within the normal (nonself-accelerating) DGP branch and due to the curvature effects from the GB component on the brane, the black hole singularity acquires modified features. More precisely, during collapse and for a finite comoving time, before a singularity would emerge at the zero physical radius, the first time derivative of the Hubble rate diverges, whereas the brane energy density and the Hubble rate remain finite. This is a peculiar behavior which displays similar properties to the sudden singularity occurring in particular late-time cosmological frameworks. Furthermore, the question of whether this altered singularity can be viewed by an external observer or will be hidden by a black hole horizon is addressed. We establish that, depending on the given induced-gravity parameter and the GB coupling constant, there exists a {\em threshold mass} for the collapsing dust, below which no trapped surfaces evolve as the collapse proceeds toward the singularity. In other words, a {\em naked sudden singularity} may form.

Recently a novel four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4EGB) theory of gravity was proposed by Glavan and Lin [D. Glavan and C. Lin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] which includes a regularized Gauss-Bonnet term by using the re-scaling of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $\alpha \to \alpha/(D-4)$ in the limit $D\to 4$. This theory also has been reformulated to a specific class of the Horndeski theory with an additional scalar degree of freedom and to a spatial covariant version with a Lagrangian multiplier that can eliminate the scalar mode. Here we study the physical properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a thin accretion disk around the static spherically symmetric black hole in the 4EGB gravity. For this purpose, we assume the disk is in a steady-state and in hydrodynamic and thermodynamic equilibrium so that the emitted electromagnetic radiation is a black body spectrum. We study in detail the effects of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $\alpha$ in 4EGB gravity on the energy flux, temperature distribution, and electromagnetic spectrum of the disk. It is shown that with the increases of the parameter $\alpha$, the energy flux, temperature distribution, and electromagnetic spectrum of the accretion disk all increase. Besides, we also show that the accretion efficiency increases as the growth of the parameter $\alpha$. Our results indicate that the thin accretion disk around the static spherically symmetric black hole in the 4EGB gravity is hotter, more luminosity, and more efficient than that around a Schwarzschild black hole with the same mass for a positive $\alpha$, while it is cooler, less luminosity, and less efficient for a negative $\alpha$.

In general relativity, there is a velocity dependent term in the gravitational acceleration of a test particle for an observer at infinity. Depending on the direction of motion and the speed, that term can be repulsive. We show that this is also the case in the Parametrized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism. We compute the magnitude of that repulsive term for an expanding sphere of dust observed at infinity, and find that it could mimic the effect of a cosmological constant. The time evolution of such an expanding ball of dust for an observer at infinity is calculated, and compared with the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. We find that the so-called coincidence problem does not exist for such a model as the energy density attributed to the expansion is always of the same order as the matter energy density.

A variational principle is suggested within Riemannnian geometry, in which an auxiliary metric and the Levi Civita connection are varied independently. The auxiliary metric plays the role of a Lagrange multiplier and introduces non-minimal coupling of matter to the curvature scalar. The field equations are 2nd order PDEs and easier to handle than those following from the so-called Palatini method. Moreover, in contrast to the latter method. no gradients of the matter variables appear. In cosmological modeling, the physics resulting from the new variational principle will differ from the modeling using the Palatini method.

Spin precession occurs in binary black holes whose spins are misaligned with the orbital angular momentum. Otherwise, the spin configuration is constant and the subsequent binary dynamics and gravitational-wave emission are much simpler. We summarize a series of works which has shown that, while three of the aligned configurations are stable equilibria, the `up-down' configuration, in which the heavier (lighter) black hole is (anti) aligned with the orbital angular momentum, is unstable when perturbed; at a critical point in the inspiral the black hole spins begin to tilt wildly as precession takes over. We present two equivalent approaches to derive the instability onset based on multitimescale post-Newtonian techniques, and point out that the instability has a predictable endpoint. Finally, we demonstrate the presence of this precessional instability in the strong-field regime of numerical relativity with simulations of aligned-spin binaries lasting $\sim100$ orbits before merger. The spins of up-down systems can tilt by $\sim90^\circ$, leaving a notable imprint in the emitted gravitational-wave signals and providing a possible mechanism to form precessing systems in astrophysical environments from which sources are preferentially born with (anti) aligned spins.

We present a recently developed prescription to obtain ready-to-use gravitational wave (GW) polarization states for spinning compact binaries on hyperbolic orbits. We include leading order spin-orbit interactions, invoking 1.5PN-accurate quasi-Keplerian parametrization for the radial part of the orbital dynamics. We also include radiation reaction effects on $h_+$ and $h_{\times}$ during the interaction. In the GW signals from spinning binaries there is evidence of the memory effect in both polarizations, in contrast to the non-spinning case, where only the cross polarizations exhibits non-vanishing amplitudes at infinite time. We also compute 1PN-accurate GW polarization states for non-spinning compact binaries in unbound orbits in a fully parametric way, and compare them with existing waveforms.

We construct an approximate metric that represents the spacetime of spinning binary black holes (BBH) approaching merger. We build the metric as an analytical superposition of two Kerr metrics in harmonic coordinates, where we transform each black hole term with time-dependent boosts describing an inspiral trajectory. The velocities and trajectories of the boost are obtained by solving the post-Newtonian (PN) equations of motion at 3.5 PN order. We analyze the spacetime scalars of the new metric and we show that it is an accurate approximation of Einstein's field equations in vacuum for a BBH system in the inspiral regime. Furthermore, to prove the effectiveness of our approach, we test the metric in the context of a 3D general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulation of accreting mini-disks around the black holes. We compare our results with a previous well-tested spacetime construction based on the asymptotic matching method. We conclude that our new spacetime is well-suited for long-term GRMHD simulations of spinning binary black holes on their way to the merger.

Observational data from the ESA astrometric mission Gaia determining the positions of celestial objects within an accuracy of few microarcseconds will be soon fully available. Other satellite-based space missions are currently planned to significantly improve such precision in the next years. The data reduction process needs high-precision general relativistic models, allowing one to solve the inverse ray-tracing problem in the gravitational field of the Solar System up to the requested level of accuracy and leading then to the estimate of astrometric parameters. Besides a satisfactory description of the background field due to the planets (which should include their multipolar structure), one should consider also other effects which may induce modifications to the light propagation. For instance, the interaction of the light signal with the superposed gravitational field of a gravitational wave emitted by a distant source would cause a shift in the apparent positions of the stars. We compute here the main astrometric observables needed for data reduction of satellite-based missions in the presence of a passing plane gravitational wave. We also take into account the effect of the mass quadrupole moment of the planets, improving previous results obtained for Gaia.

Analogue gravity systems offer many insights into gravitational phenomena, both at the classical and at the semiclassical level. The existence of an underlying Minkowskian structure (or Galilean in the non-relativistic limit) in the laboratory has been argued to directly forbid the simulation of geometries with Closed Timelike Curves (CTCs) within analogue systems. We will show that this is not strictly the case. In principle, it is possible to simulate spacetimes with CTCs whenever this does not entail the presence of a chronological horizon separating regions with CTCs from regions that do not have CTCs. We find an Analogue-gravity Chronology protection mechanism very similar in spirit to Hawking's Chronology Protection hypothesis. We identify the universal behaviour of analogue systems near the formation of such horizons and discuss the further implications that this analysis has from an emergent gravity perspective. Furthermore, we build explicit geometries containing CTCs, for instance spacetimes constructed from two warp-drive configurations, that might be useful for future analysis, both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view.

Treating the gravity-matter coupling as a perturbative term on the background of Starobinsky gravity, we develop a perturbation theory for equilibrium configurations. For illustration, we take the case of quark stars and explore their various stellar properties. We find that the gravity-matter coupling causes an increase in the stable maximal mass which is relevant for recent observations on binary pulsars.

In the framework of a simple gravitational theory that contains a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity, we investigate the emergence of analytic black-hole solutions with non-trivial scalar hair of secondary type. Although it is possible for one to obtain asymptotically (A)dS solutions using our setup, in the context of the present work, we are solely interested in asymptotically flat solutions. At first, we study the properties of static and spherically symmetric black-hole solutions emanating from both regular and phantom scalar fields. We find that the regular-scalar-field-induced solutions are solutions describing ultra-compact black holes, while the phantom scalar fields generate ultra-sparse black-hole solutions. The latter are black holes that can be potentially of very low density since, contrary to ultra-compact ones, their horizon radius is always greater than the horizon radius of the corresponding Schwarzschild black hole of the same mass. Then, we generalize the above static solutions to slowly rotating ones and compute their angular velocities explicitly. Finally, the study of the axial perturbations of the derived solutions takes place, in which we show that there is always a region in the parameter space of the free parameters of our theory that allows the existence of both ultra-compact and ultra-sparse black holes.

In the framework of a simple gravitational theory that contains a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity, we investigate the emergence of analytic black-hole solutions with non-trivial scalar hair of secondary type.

Tidal effects have important imprints on gravitational waves (GWs) emitted during the final stage of the coalescence of binaries that involve neutron stars (NSs). Dynamical tides can be significant when NS oscillations become resonant with orbital motion; understanding this process is important for accurately modeling GW emission from these binaries, and for extracting NS information from GW data. In this paper, we carry out a systematic study on the tidal excitation of fundamental modes of spinning NSs in coalescencing binaries, focusing on the case when the NS spin is anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum-where the tidal resonance is most likely to take place. We first expand NS oscillations into stellar eigen-modes, and then obtain a Hamiltonian that governs the tidally coupled orbit-mode evolution. We next find a new approximation that can lead to analytic expressions of tidal excitations to a high accuracy, and are valid in all regimes of the binary evolution: adiabatic, resonant, and post-resonance. Using the method of osculating orbits, we obtain semi-analytic approximations to the orbital evolution and GW emission; their agreements with numerical results give us confidence in on our understanding of the system's dynamics. In particular, we recover both the averaged post-resonance evolution, which differs from the pre-resonance point-particle orbit by shifts in orbital energy and angular momentum, as well as instantaneous perturbations driven by the tidal motion. Finally, we use the Fisher matrix technique to study the effect of dynamical tides on parameter estimation. We find that the dynamical tides may potentially provide an additional channel to study the physics of NSs. The method presented in this paper is generic and not restricted to f mode; it can also be applied to other types of tide.

The present work deals with dynamics of gravitational collapse with cylindrical symmetry as developed by Misner and Sharp. The interior collapsing anisotropic cylindrical perfect fluid is matched to an exterior vacuum cylindrically symmetric space-time due to Einstein--Rosen using the Darmois matching conditions. It is found that the radial pressure of the anisotropic perfect fluid is non-zero on the boundary surface and is related to the components of shear viscosity. As a result, there is formation of gravitational waves outside the collapsing matter.

Previous work has shown that the interaction between gravitational waves (GWs) and a shell of viscous matter leads to damping of the GWs and heating of the matter, and that these effects may be astrophysically significant. This result was derived using the theory of linear perturbations about a Minkowki background, and in this work the model is extended to be more physically realistic by allowing the background geometry to be Schwarzschild. It is found that the difference between using a Schwarzschild or Minkowski background is minimal when either $r\gg M$ or $\lambda< M$, where $r$ is the radius of the shell, $\lambda$ is the GW wavelength and $M$ is the mass of the system in geometric units (so that $1M_\odot=1.48$km). However, when $r\sim 6M$ and $\lambda\sim 25M$, then the damping and heating effects are about 9 times larger on a Schwarzschild background than on Minkowski, and such situations occur astrophysically.

We present exact spherically symmetric null dust solutions in the third order Lovelock gravity with a string cloud background in arbitrary $N$ dimensions,. This represents radiating black holes and generalizes the well known Vaidya solution to Lovelock gravity with a string cloud in the background. We also discuss the energy conditions and horizon structures, and explicitly bring out the effect of the string clouds on the horizon structure of black hole solutions for the higher dimensional general relativity and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theories. It turns out that the presence of the coupling constant of the Gauss-Bonnet terms and/or background string clouds completely changes the structure of the horizon and this may lead to a naked singularity. We recover known spherically symmetric radiating models as well as static black holes in the appropriate limits.

Force-Free Electrodynamics (FFE) describes a particular regime of magnetically dominated relativistic plasmas, which arises on several astrophysical scenarios of interest such as pulsars or active galactic nuclei. In this article, we present a full 3D numerical implementation of the FFE evolution around a Kerr black hole. The novelty of our approach is three-folded: i) We use the "multi-block" technique to represent a domain with $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^{+}$ topology within a stable finite-differences scheme. ii) We employ as evolution equations those arising from a covariant hyperbolization of the FFE system. iii) We implement stable and constraint-preserving boundary conditions to represent an outer region given by a uniform magnetic field aligned or misaligned respect to the symmetry axis. We find stationary jet solutions which reach equilibrium --through boundary conditions-- with the outer numerical surface. This is so, even when the outer boundary is located very close to the central region (i.e. $r_{out}\sim 10M $). These numerical solutions reproduce most of the known results for analogue astrophysical settings.

Naked singularities are hypothetical astrophysical objects, characterized by a gravitational singularity without an event horizon. Penrose has proposed a conjecture, according to which there exists a cosmic censor who forbids the occurrence of naked singularities. Distinguishing between astrophysical black holes and naked singularities is a major challenge for present day observational astronomy. A possibility of differentiating naked singularities from black holes is through the comparative study of thin accretion disks properties around rotating naked singularities and Kerr-type black holes, respectively. In the present paper, we consider accretion disks around rotating naked singularities, obtained as solutions of the field equations in the Einstein-massless scalar field theory. A first major difference between rotating naked singularities and Kerr black holes is in the frame dragging effect, the angular velocity of a rotating naked singularity being inversely proportional to its spin parameter. Due to the differences in the exterior geometry, the thermodynamic and electromagnetic properties of the disks are different for these two classes of compact objects, consequently giving clear observational signatures that could discriminate between black holes and naked singularities. For specific values of the spin parameter and of the scalar charge, the energy flux from the disk around a rotating naked singularity can exceed by several orders of magnitude the flux from the disk of a Kerr black hole. The conversion efficiency of the accreting mass into radiation by rotating naked singularities is always higher than the conversion efficiency for black holes. Thus, these observational signatures may provide the necessary tools from clearly distinguishing rotating naked singularities from Kerr-type black holes.

We develop an analytical model to study the production spectrum of loops in the cosmic string network. In the scaling regime, we find two different scales corresponding to large (one order below horizon) and small (few orders below horizon) loops. The very small (tiny) loops at the gravitational back reaction scale are absent, and thus, our model has no ultra-violet divergences. We calculate the spectrum of loops and derive analytical expressions for the positions and magnitudes of the small and large scale peaks. The small loops are produced by large bursts of similar loops moving with very high velocities in the same direction. We describe the shape of large loops, which would usually consist of few kinks and few cusps per oscillation cycle. We also argue that the typical size of large loops is set by the correlation length, which does not depend on the intercommutation probability p, while the interstring distance scales as p^{1/3}.

A rapidly spinning neutron star (NS) would emit a continuous gravitational wave (GW) detectable by the advanced LIGO, advanced Virgo, KAGRA and proposed third generation detectors such as the Einstein Telescope (ET). Such a GW does not propagate freely, but is affected by the Coulomb-type gravitational field of the NS itself. This effect appears as a phase shift in the GW depending on the NS mass. We have shown that mass of an isolated NS can, in principle, be determined if we could detect the continuous GW with two or more frequency modes. Indeed, our Monte Carlo simulations have demonstrated that mass of a NS with its ellipticity $10^{-6}$ at 1 kpc is typically measurable with precision of 20% using the ET, if the NS is precessing or has a pinned superfluid core and emits GWs with once and twice the spin frequencies. After briefly explaining our idea and results, this paper concerns with the effect of misalignment angle ("wobble angle" in the case of a precessing NS) on the mass measurement precision.

We present an analysis that reconciles the gravitational-wave signal GW190521 observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors with the electromagnetic flare ZTF19abanrhr observed by the Zwicky Transient Facility. We analyze GW190521 under a mass-ratio prior uniform in $Q \in [1,4]$ and using the state-of-the-art waveform model for black-hole mergers \texttt{NRSur7dq4}. We find a $90\%$ credible region for the black-hole masses extending far outside what originally reported by \cite{GW190521D}, where our maximum likelihood masses reside. We find a $15\%$ probability that both black holes avoid the pair-instability supernova gap. We infer a three-dimensional sky-location highly consistent with ZTF19abanrhr, obtaining an odds-ratio ${\cal{O}}_{C/R}=72:1$ that strongly favors the hypothesis of a true coincidence over a random one. Combining this event with the neutron-star merger GW170817, we estimate a Hubble constant H$_0=72.1^{+10.6}_{-6.4}\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}\,Mpc^{-1}}$ at the $68\%$ credible level.

We compare two multi-detector detection strategies, namely, the coincidence and the coherent, for the detection of spinless inspiraling compact binary gravitational wave signals. The coincident strategy treats the detectors as if they are isolated - compares individual detector statistics with their respective thresholds while the coherent strategy combines the detector network data {\it phase coherently} to obtain a single detection statistic which is then compared with a single threshold. In the case of geographically separated detectors, we also consider an {\it enhanced} coincidence strategy because the usual (naive) coincidence strategy yields poor results for misaligned detectors. For simplicity, we consider detector pairs having the same power spectral density of noise, as that of initial LIGO and also assume the noise to be stationary and Gaussian. We compare the performances of the methods by plotting the \emph{receiver operating characteristic} (ROC) for the two strategies. A single astrophysical source as well as a distribution of sources is considered. We find that the coherent strategy performs better than the two coincident strategies under the assumptions of stationary Gaussian detector noise.

A special case of metric-affine gauge theory of gravity (MAG) is equivalent to general relativity with Proca matter as source. We study in detail a corresponding numeric solution of the Reissner-Nordstr"om type. It is static, spherically symmetric, and of electric type. In particular, this solution has no horizon, so it has a naked singularity as its origin.

We review some approaches to the Hamiltonian dynamics of (loop) quantum gravity, the main issues being the regularization of the Hamiltonian and the continuum limit. First, Thiemann's definition of the quantum Hamiltonian is presented, and then more recent approaches. They are based on toy models which provide new insights into the difficulties and ambiguities faced in Thiemann's construction. The models we use are parametrized field theories, the topological BF model of which a special case is three-dimensional gravity which describes quantum flat space, and Regge lattice gravity.

The main purpose of this work is to obtain the metric of a Charge Tempered Cosmological Model, a slightly modified Standard Cosmological Model by a small excess of charge density, distributed uniformly in accordance with the Cosmological Principle, the global Coulomb interaction incorporated in this metric. The particularity of this model is that the commoving observer referential where the metric belongs is non inertial, which consequence is that clocks at different position can not be synchronized. The new metric is constrained to k goint to 0, with dependence on a charge parameter, and related to a modified Friedmann equation, but it is constrained to a positive deceleration parameter and the hyperbolic solution . Nevertheless, there are corrections to do, valid just for a long range distances. For example, the red shift has, now, dependences on the gravitational potential together the recessional motion. In any way, this model accepts as well the cosmological constant and its physical counterpart, the dark energy.

We examine whether an extended scenario of a two-scalar-field model, in which a mixed kinetic term of canonical and phantom scalar fields is involved, admits the Bianchi type I metric, which is homogeneous but anisotropic spacetime, as its power-law solutions. Then we analyze the stability of the anisotropic power-law solutions to see whether these solutions respect the cosmic no-hair conjecture or not during the inflationary phase. In addition, we will also investigate a special scenario, where the pure kinetic terms of canonical and phantom fields disappear altogether in field equations, to test again the validity of cosmic no-hair conjecture. As a result, the cosmic no-hair conjecture always holds in both these scenarios due to the instability of the corresponding anisotropic inflationary solutions.

A new final state of gravitational collapse is proposed. By extending the concept of Bose-Einstein condensation to gravitational systems, a cold, dark, compact object with an interior de Sitter condensate $p_{_V} = -\rho_{_V}$ and an exterior Schwarzschild geometry of arbitrary total mass $M$ is constructed. These are separated by a shell with a small but finite proper thickness $\ell$ of fluid with equation of state $p=+\rho$, replacing both the Schwarzschild and de Sitter classical horizons. The new solution has no singularities, no event horizons, and a global time. Its entropy is maximized under small fluctuations and is given by the standard hydrodynamic entropy of the thin shell, which is of order $k_{_B}\ell Mc/\hbar$, instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, $S_{_{BH}}= 4\pi k_{_B} G M^2/\hbar c$. Hence unlike black holes, the new solution is thermodynamically stable and has no information paradox.

We demonstrate that certain gauge fixing functionals cannot be added to the action on backgrounds such as de Sitter in which a linearization instability is present. We also construct the field dependent gauge transformation which carries the electromagnetic vector potential from a convenient, non-de Sitter invariant gauge to the de Sitter invariant, Lorentz gauge. The transformed propagator agrees with the de Sitter invariant result previously found by solving the propagator equation in Lorentz gauge. This shows that the gauge transformation technique will eliminate unphysical breaking of de Sitter invariance introduced by a gauge condition. It is suggested that the same technique can be used to finally resolve the issue of whether or not free gravitons are de Sitter invariant.

Using Cartan's equivalence method for point transformations we obtain from first principles the conformal geometry associated with third order ODEs and a special class of PDEs in two dimensions. We explicitly construct the null tetrads of a family of Lorentzian metrics, the conformal group in three and four dimensions and the so called normal metric connection. A special feature of this connection is that the non vanishing components of its torsion depend on one relative invariant, the (generalized) W\"unschmann Invariant. We show that the above mentioned construction naturally contains the Null Surface Formulation of General Relativity.

The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape consisting of three nested detectors with 10 km arms, where in each arm there is a `xylophone' configuration made of an interferometer tuned toward high frequencies, and an interferometer tuned toward low frequencies and working at cryogenic temperature. Here, we examine the scientific perspectives under possible variations of this reference design. We perform a detailed evaluation of the science case for a single triangular geometry observatory, and we compare it with the results obtained for a network of two L-shaped detectors (either parallel or misaligned) located in Europe, considering different choices of arm-length for both the triangle and the 2L geometries. We also study how the science output changes in the absence of the low-frequency instrument, both for the triangle and the 2L configurations. We examine a broad class of simple `metrics' that quantify the science output, related to compact binary coalescences, multi-messenger astronomy and stochastic backgrounds, and we then examine the impact of different detector designs on a more specific set of scientific objectives.

Using the numerical method, we study dynamics of coalescing black holes on the Eguchi-Hanson base space. Effects of a difference in spacetime topology on the black hole dynamics is discussed. We analyze appearance and disappearance process of marginal surfaces. In our calculation, the area of a coverall black hole horizon at the creation time in the coalescing black holes solutions on Eguchi-Hanson space is larger than that in the five-dimensional Kastor-Traschen solutions. This fact suggests that the black hole production on the Eguchi-Hanson space is easier than that on the flat space.

The fundamental singularity theorem of FLRW cosmologies assumes that the matter content in the cosmological model obeys the strong energy condition along with a nonpositive cosmological constant which gives rise to an irrotational geodesic singularity. In this paper, we show that the important case of a spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker universe with barotropic matter obeying only the \emph{weak} energy condition with a nonnegative cosmological constant also contains a past singularity. We accomplish this using topological methods from dynamical systems theory. The methods employed in this paper are sufficiently general that they could be extended to other models to study the existence of past singularities.

In this paper, a new generalised gravity-matter coupled theory of gravity is presented. This theory is constructed by assuming an action with an arbitrary function $f(T,B,L_m)$ which depends on the scalar torsion $T$, the boundary term $B=\nabla_{\mu}T^{\mu}$ and the matter Lagrangian $L_m$. Since the function depends on $B$ which appears in $R=-T+B$, it is possible to also reproduce curvature-matter coupled models such as $f(R,L_m)$ gravity. Additionally, the full theory also contains some interesting new teleparallel gravity-matter coupled theories of gravities such as $f(T,L_m)$ or $C_1 T+ f(B,L_m)$. The complete dynamical system for flat FLRW cosmology is presented and for some specific cases of the function, the corresponding cosmological model is studied. When it is necessary, the connection of our theory and the dynamical system of other well-known theories is discussed.

The generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG), which has an unusual perfect fluid equation of state, is another promising candidate for dark energy. We investigate the GCG scenario coupled with a baryonic matter in a newly suggested $f(Q,T)$ gravity, an arbitrary function of non-metricity $Q$ and the trace of energy-momentum tensor $T$. We consider the functional form of $f(Q, T)$ as a linear combination of $Q$ and an arbitrary function of $T$, denoted by $h(T)$. Furthermore, we obtain two different functional forms of the $f(Q,T)$ model under high pressure and high-density scenarios of GCG. We also test each model with the recent Pantheon supernovae data set of 1048 data points, Hubble data set of 31 points, and baryon acoustic oscillations. The deceleration parameter is constructed using $OHD+SNeIa+BAO$, predicting a transition from decelerated to accelerated phases of the universe expansion. Also, the equation of state parameter acquires a negative behavior depicting acceleration. Finally, we analyze the statefinder diagnostic to discriminate between the GCG and other dark energy models.

We study the Hamiltonian dynamics of the dust-Bianchi IX universe in dust time gauge. This model has three physical metric degrees of freedom, with evolution determined by a time-independent physical Hamiltonian. This approach gives a new physical picture where dust-Bianchi IX dynamics is described by oscillations between dust-Kasner solutions, rather than between vacuum-Kasner solutions. We derive a generalized transition law between these phases, which has a matter component. Sufficiently close to a singularity, we show that this law reduces to the vacuum Belinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz map. We include an analysis with dust and a scalar field. Lastly, we describe a path integral quantization using the dust-time physical Hamiltonian and derive an effective action for the dust-Kasner model by integrating out the anisotropy degrees of freedom.

Loop quantum cosmology, the symmetry reduction of quantum geometry for the study of various cosmological situations, leads to a difference equation for its quantum evolution equation. To ensure that solutions of this equation act in the expected classical manner far from singularities, additional restrictions are imposed on the solution. In this paper, we consider the Bianchi I model, both the vacuum case and the addition of a cosmological constant, and show using generating function techniques that only the zero solution satisfies these constraints. This implies either that there are technical difficulties with the current method of quantizing the evolution equation, or else loop quantum gravity imposes strong restrictions on the physically allowed solutions.

In this paper, we analyze the variation of the gravitational action on a bounded region of spacetime whose boundary contains segments with various characters, including null. We develop a systematic approach to decompose the derivative of metric variations into orthogonal and tangential components with respect to the boundary and express them in terms of variations of geometric objects associated with the boundary hypersurface. We suggest that a double-foliation of spacetime provides a natural and useful set-up for treating the general problem and clarifies the assumptions and results in specialized ones. In this set-up, we are able to obtain the boundary action necessary for the variational principle to become well-posed, beside the canonical structure of the theory, while keeping the variations quite general. Especially, we show how one can remove the restrictions imposed on the metric variations in previous works due to the assumption that the boundary character is kept unaltered. As a result, we find that on null boundaries a new canonical pair which is related to the change in character of the boundary. This set-up and the calculation procedure are stated in a way that can be applied to other more generalized theories of gravity.

We study the head-on collision of two equal mass, nonrotating black holes. We consider a range of cases from holes surrounded by a common horizon to holes initially separated by about $20M$, where $M$ is the mass of each hole. We determine the waveforms and energies radiated for both the $\ell = 2$ and $\ell=4$ waves resulting from the collision. In all cases studied the normal modes of the final black hole dominate the spectrum. We also estimate analytically the total gravitational radiation emitted, taking into account the tidal heating of horizons using the membrane paradigm, and other effects. For the first time we are able to compare analytic calculations, black hole perturbation theory, and strong field, nonlinear numerical calculations for this problem, and we find excellent agreement.

In the current literature, there are many discussions about the local Lorentz invariance of modified teleparallel gravity. This symmetry is obviously violated in the classical "pure tetrad" formulation of the theory, while it gets restored in the "fully covariant" approach. My claim is that, despite many heated discussions, the two formulations are just equivalent. And the purpose of this note is to argue that the local Lorentz invariance is not natural for the modified teleparallel theories at all, making the pure tetrad approach more fundamentally justified.

A five-dimensional (5D) generalized G\"odel-type manifolds are examined in the light of the equivalence problem techniques, as formulated by Cartan. The necessary and sufficient conditions for local homogeneity of these 5D manifolds are derived. The local equivalence of these homogeneous Riemannian manifolds is studied. It is found that they are characterized by three essential parameters $k$, $m^2$ and $\omega$: identical triads $(k, m^2, \omega)$ correspond to locally equivalent 5D manifolds. An irreducible set of isometrically nonequivalent 5D locally homogeneous Riemannian generalized G\"odel-type metrics are exhibited. A classification of these manifolds based on the essential parameters is presented, and the Killing vector fields as well as the corresponding Lie algebra of each class are determined. It is shown that the generalized G\"odel-type 5D manifolds admit maximal group of isometry $G_r$ with $r=7$, $r=9$ or $r=15$ depending on the essential parameters $k$, $m^2$ and $\omega$. The breakdown of causality in all these classes of homogeneous G\"odel-type manifolds are also examined. It is found that in three out of the six irreducible classes the causality can be violated. The unique generalized G\"odel-type solution of the induced matter (IM) field equations is found. The question as to whether the induced matter version of general relativity is an effective therapy for these type of causal anomalies of general relativity is also discussed in connection with a recent article by Romero, Tavakol and Zalaletdinov.

We investigate in detail the implications of the constant-roll condition on the inflationary era of a scalar field coupled to a teleparallel $f(T)$ gravity. The resulting cosmological equations constitute a reconstruction technique which enables us to find either the $f(T)$ gravity which corresponds to a given cosmological evolution, or the Hubble rate of the cosmological evolution generated by a fixed $f(T)$ gravity. We also analyze in some detail the phase space of the constant-roll teleparallel gravity and we discuss the physical significance of the resulting fixed points and trajectories. Also we calculate the observational indices of a theory with given $f(T)$ gravity, and we discuss all the implications of the constant-roll condition on these. As we demonstrate, the resulting theory can be compatible with the current observational data, for a wide range of values of the free parameters of the theory.

Applying the Pomeransky inverse scattering method to the four-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation and using the Levi-Civita solution for a seed, we construct a cylindrically symmetric single-soliton solution. Although the Levi-Civita spacetime generally includes singularities on its axis of symmetry, it is shown that for the obtained single-soliton solution, such singularities can be removed by choice of certain special parameters. This single-soliton solution describes propagation of nonlinear cylindrical gravitational shock wave pulses rather than solitonic waves. By analyzing wave amplitudes and time-dependence of polarization angles, we provides physical description of the single-soliton solution.

We consider the Hamiltonian mechanics and thermodynamics of an eternal black hole in a box of fixed radius and temperature in generic 2-D dilaton gravity. Imposing boundary conditions analoguous to those used by Louko and Whiting for spherically symmetric gravity, we find that the reduced Hamiltonian generically takes the form: $$ H(M,\phi_+) = \sigma_0 E(M,\phi_+) -{N_0\over 2\pi} S(M) $$ where $E(M,\phi_+)$ is the quasilocal energy of a black hole of mass $M$ inside a static box (surface of fixed dilaton field $\phi_+$) and $S(M)$ is the associated classical thermodynamical entropy. $\sigma_0$ and $N_0$ determine time evolution along the world line of the box and boosts at the bifurcation point, respectively. An ansatz for the quantum partition function is obtained by fixing $\sigma_0$ and $N_0$ and then tracing the operator $e^{-\beta H}$ over mass eigenstates. We analyze this partition function in some detail both generically and for the class of dilaton gravity theories that is obtained by dimensional reduction of Einstein gravity in n+2 dimensions with $S^n$ spherical symmetry.

I develop the idea that our world is a brane-like object embedded in Euclidean bulk. In its ground state, the brane constituent matter is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic, and of negligible influence on the bulk geometry. The analysis of this paper is model independent, in the sense that action functional of bulk fields is not specified. Instead, the behavior of the brane is derived from the universally valid conservation equation of the bulk stress tensor. The present work studies the behavior of a $3$-sphere in the $5$-dimensional Euclidean bulk. The sphere is made of bulk matter characterized by the equation of state $p=\alpha\rho$. It is shown that stability of brane vibrations requires $\alpha < 0$. Then, the stable brane perturbations obey Klein-Gordon-like equation with an effective metric of Minkowski signature. The argument is given that it is this effective metric that is detected in physical measurements. The corresponding effective Universe is analyzed for all the values of $\alpha<0$. In particular, the effective metric is shown to be a solution of Einstein's equations coupled to an effective perfect fluid. The effective energy density and pressure at the present epoch are calculated. So are the age of the Universe, and the effective cosmological constant. All the results are presented in two tables. As an illustration, one simple choice of the brane constituent matter is studied in detail.

Recent evidence of direct detection of stochastic gravitational waves reported by pulsar timing array collaborations might open a new window for studying cosmology and astrophysical phenomena. In addition to signals from gravitational waves, there is motivation to explore residual signals from oscillating dark matter, which might partially comprise the galactic halo. We investigate fluctuations in pulsar timing originating from the coherent oscillation of scalar dark matter up to the subleading order of $\mathcal{O}(k/m)$, as well as from acoustic oscillations of non-adiabatic perfect fluid dark matter. Both types of dark matter can generate oscillating Newtonian potential perturbations and curvature perturbations, thereby affecting pulsar timing. Our results show distinctive signatures in pulsar timing residuals and angular correlations for these dark matters. Specifically, pulsar timing residuals from non-adiabatic perfect fluid dark matter exhibit different directional dependence and are shown to be more sensitive to the distance to a pulsar. We also study the angular correlation patterns from these dark matters in the NANOGrav 15-year data set. The best fit might suggest that the composition of non-adiabatic perfect fluid dark matter in our galaxy is much greater than that of ultralight scalar dark matter.

Our results show distinctive signatures in pulsar timing residuals and angular correlations for these dark matters. Specifically, pulsar timing residuals from non-adiabatic perfect fluid dark matter exhibit different directional dependence and are shown to be more sensitive to the distance to a pulsar. We also study the angular correlation patterns from these dark matters in the NANOGrav 15-year data set. The best fit might suggest that the composition of non-adiabatic perfect fluid dark matter in our galaxy is much greater than that of ultralight scalar dark matter.

In this work we suggest a sufficiently simple for understanding "without knowing the details of the quantum gravity" and quite correct deduction of the Unruh temperature (but not whole Unruh radiation process!). Firstly, we shall directly apply usual consequences of the Unruh radiation and temperature at surface gravity of a large spherical physical system and we shall show that corresponding thermal energy can be formally quite correctly presented as the potential energy absolute value of the classical gravitational interaction between this large and a small quantum system with well defined characteristics. Secondly, we shall inversely "postulate" small quantum system with necessary well defined characteristics and then, after "supposition" on the equivalence between potential energy absolute value of its gravitational interaction with large system with thermal energy, we shall obtain exact value of the Unruh temperature. Moreover, by very simple and correct application of suggested formalism (with small quantum system) at thermodynamic laws, we shall successfully study other thermodynamic characteristics, especially entropy, characteristic for Unruh and Hawking radiation

We prove the existence of a generalization of Kelvin's circulation theorem in general relativity which is applicable to perfect isentropic magnetohydrodynamic flow. The argument is based on a new version of the Lagrangian for perfect magnetohydrodynamics. We illustrate the new conserved circulation with the example of a relativistic magnetohydrodynamic flow possessing three symmetries.

Current- and next-generation gravitational-wave observatories may reveal new, ultralight bosons. Through the superradiance process, these theoretical particle candidates can form clouds around astrophysical black holes and result in detectable gravitational-wave radiation. In the absence of detections, constraints$-$contingent on astrophysical assumptions$-$have been derived using LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data on boson masses. However, the searches for ultralight scalars to date have not adequately considered self-interactions between particles. Self-interactions that significantly alter superradiance dynamics are generically present for many scalar models, including axion-like dark matter candidates and string axions. We implement the most complete treatment of particle self-interactions available to determine the gravitational-wave signatures expected from superradiant scalar clouds and revisit the constraints obtained in a past gravitational-wave search targeting the black hole in Cygnus X-1. We also project the reach of next-generation gravitational-wave observatories to scalar particle parameter space in the mass-coupling plane. We find that while proposed observatories have insufficient reach to self-interactions that can halt black hole spin-down, next-generation observatories are essential for expanding the search beyond gravitational parameter space and can reach a mass and interaction scale of $\sim 10^{-13}-10^{-12}$ eV/c$^2$ and $\gtrsim 10^{17}$ GeV, respectively.

Following Finkelstein and Misner, kinks are non-trivial field configurations of a field theory, and different kink-numbers correspond to different disconnected components of the space of allowed field configurations for a given topology of the base manifold. In a theory of gravity, non-vanishing kink-numbers are associated to a twisted causal structure. In two dimensions this means, more specifically, that the light-cone tilts around (non-trivially) when going along a non-contractible non-selfintersecting loop on spacetime. One purpose of this paper is to construct the maximal extensions of kink spacetimes using Penrose diagrams. This will yield surprising insights into their geometry but also allow us to give generalizations of some well-known examples like the bare kink and the Misner torus. However, even for an arbitrary 2D metric with a Killing field we can construct continuous one-parameter families of inequivalent kinks. This result has already interesting implications in the flat or deSitter case, but it applies e.g. also to generalized dilaton gravity solutions. Finally, several coordinate systems for these newly obtained kinks are discussed.

The Lorentz symmetry of gravity is spontaneously broken when the nonminimally coupled Kalb-Ramond field acquires a nonzero vacuum expectation value. In this work, we present exact solutions for static and spherically symmetric black holes in the framework of this Lorentz-violating gravity theory. In order to explore the physical implications of Lorentz violation, we analyze the thermodynamic properties of the obtained solutions and evaluate the impact of Lorentz violation on some classical gravitational experiments within the Solar System. Furthermore, the Lorentz-violating parameter is constrained by using the measured results of these experiments.

We study relic gravitational waves in the paradigm of quintessential inflation. In this framework, irrespective of the underlying model, inflation is followed by the kinetic regime. Thereafter, the field energy density remains sub-dominant before the onset of acceleration. We carry out model independent analysis to obtain the temperature at the end of inflation and the estimate for upper bound on the Hubble parameter to circumvent the problem due to relic gravitational waves. In this process, we used Planck 2015 data to constrain the inflationary phase. We demonstrate that the required temperature can be produced by the mechanism of instant preheating. The generic feature of the scenario includes the presence of kinetic regime after inflation which results into blue spectrum of gravitational wave background at high frequencies. We discuss the prospects of detection of relic gravitational wave background in the advanced LIGO and LISA space-born gravitational wave missions. Finally we consider a concrete model to realize the paradigm of quintessential inflation and show that inflationary as well as post-inflationary evolution can successfully be described by the inflaton potential, $V(\phi) \propto Exp(-\lambda \phi^n/\Mpl^n)(n>1)$, by suitably constraining the parameters of the model.

We undertake a first-principles analysis of the thermodynamics of a small body near a black hole horizon. In particular, we study the paradigmatic system of a quantum ideal gas in a small box hovering over the Schwarzschild horizon. We describe the gas in terms of free quantum fields, bosonic and fermionic, massive and massless. We identify thermodynamic properties through the microcanonical distribution. We first analyse the more general case of a box in Rindler spacetime, and then specialize to the black hole case. The physics depends strongly on the distance of the box from the horizon, which we treat as a macroscopic thermodynamic variable. We find that the effective dimension of the system transitions from three-dimensional to two-dimensional as we approach the horizon, that Bekenstein's bound fails when the box is adiabatically lowered towards the black hole, and that the pressure is highly anisotropic. The pressure difference between the upper and lower wall leads to an effective force that must be added to the gravitational acceleration. We also show that the approximation of quantum fields propagating on a fixed background for matter breaks down when the system is brought to microscopic distances from the horizon, in which case backreaction effects must be included.

Based on preliminary analysis of the Hamiltonian formulation of the first order Einstein-Cartan action (arXiv:0902.0856 [gr-qc] and arXiv:0907.1553 [gr-qc]) we derive the Darboux coordinates, which are a unique and uniform change of variables preserving equivalence with the original action in all spacetime dimensions higher than two. Considerable simplification of the Hamiltonian formulation using the Darboux coordinates, compared with direct analysis, is explicitly demonstrated. Even an incomplete Hamiltonian analysis in combination with known symmetries of the Einstein-Cartan action and the equivalence of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations allows us to unambiguously conclude that the \textit{unique} \textit{gauge} invariances generated by the first class constraints of the Einstein-Cartan action and the corresponding Hamiltonian are \textit{translation and rotation in the tangent space}. Diffeomorphism invariance, though a manifest invariance of the action, is not generated by the first class constraints of the theory.

We demonstrate the occurrence of the Marolf-Ori singularity, including changes of order unity in the scalar field $\phi$ for the scalar field model, and in the Weyl scalars $\psi_0$ and $\psi_4$ (rescaled appropriately by the horizon function $\Delta$) and the Kretschmann curvature scalar $K$ for the vacuum, gravitational perturbations model for both null and timelike geodesic observers. We quantify the shock sharpening effect and show that in all cases its rate agrees with expectations.

We consider the backreaction of a quantum system $q$ on an effectively classical degree of freedom $C$ that is interacting with it. The backreaction equation based on the standard path integral formalism gives the so-called `in-out' backreaction equation, which has several serious pathologies. One can use a different backreaction prescription, referred to as the `in-in' approach, which resolves all the issues of `in-out' backreaction equation. However, this procedure is usually invoked in a rather ad hoc manner. Here we provide a rigorous path integral derivation of the `in-in' approach by exploiting the concept of quantum evolution along complex time contours. It turns out that, this approach can also be used to study both the `in-in' and `in-out' backreaction equations in a unified manner.

We consider premetric electrodynamics with a local and linear constitutive law for the vacuum. Within this framework, we find quartic Fresnel wave surfaces for the propagation of light. If we require vanishing birefringence in vacuum, then a Riemannian light cone is implied. No proper Finslerian structure can occur. This is generalized to dynamical equations of any order.

In this paper we explore the idea that black holes can persist in a universe that collapses to a big crunch and then bounces into a new phase of expansion. We use a scalar field to model the matter content of such a universe {near the time} of the bounce, and look for solutions that represent a network of black holes within a dynamical cosmology. We find exact solutions to Einstein's constraint equations that provide the geometry of space at the minimum of expansion and that can be used as initial data for the evolution of hyperspherical cosmologies. These solutions illustrate that there exist models in which multiple distinct black holes can persist through a bounce, and allow for concrete computations of quantities such as the black hole filling factor. We then consider solutions in flat cosmologies, as well as in higher-dimensional spaces (with up to nine spatial dimensions). We derive conditions for the black holes to remain distinct (i.e. avoid merging) and hence persist into the new expansion phase. Some potentially interesting consequences of these models are also discussed.

We derive conditions for the black holes to remain distinct (i.e. avoid merging) and hence persist into the new expansion phase. Some potentially interesting consequences of these models are also discussed.

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanced detector era. All eleven events were consistent with being from well-modeled mergers between compact stellar-mass objects: black holes or neutron stars. The data around the time of each of these events have been made publicly available through the gravitational-wave open science center. The entirety of the gravitational-wave strain data from the first and second observing runs have also now been made publicly available. There is considerable interest among the broad scientific community in understanding the data and methods used in the analyses. In this paper, we provide an overview of the detector noise properties and the data analysis techniques used to detect gravitational-wave signals and infer the source properties. We describe some of the checks that are performed to validate the analyses and results from the observations of gravitational-wave events. We also address concerns that have been raised about various properties of LIGO-Virgo detector noise and the correctness of our analyses as applied to the resulting data.

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanced detector era. All eleven events were consistent with being from well-modeled mergers between compact stellar-mass objects: black holes or neutron stars. The data around the time of each of these events have been made publicly available through the gravitational-wave open science center. The entirety of the gravitational-wave strain data from the first and second observing runs have also now been made publicly available. There is considerable interest among the broad scientific community in understanding the data and methods used in the analyses. In this paper, we provide an overview of the detector noise properties and the data analysis techniques used to detect gravitational-wave signals and infer the source properties. We describe some of the checks that are performed to validate the analyses and results from the observations of gravitational-wave events. We also address concerns that have been raised about various properties of LIGO-Virgo detector noise and the correctness of our analyses as applied to the resulting data.

According to Mach's principle inertia has its reason in the presence of all masses in the universe. Despite there is a lot of sympathy for this plausible idea, only a few quantitative frameworks have been proposed to test it. In this paper a tentative theory is given which is based on Mach's critisism on Newton's rotating bucket. Taking this criticism seriously, one is led to the hypothesis that the rotation of our galaxy is the reason for gravitation. Concretely, a functional dependence of the gravitational constant on the size, mass and angular momentum of the milky way is proposed that leads to a spatial, but not to a temporal variation of G. Since Newton's inverse-square law is modified, flat rotation curves of galaxies can be explained that usually need the postulate of dark matter. While the consequences for stellar evolution are discussed briefly, a couple of further observational coincidences are noted and possible experimental tests are proposed.

Gravitational lensing of a light source by a black hole leads to appearance of higher-order images produced by photons that loop around the black hole before reaching the observer. Higher-order images were widely investigated numerically and analytically, in particular using so-called strong deflection limit of gravitational deflection. After recent observations of the black hole image, attention has been drawn to higher-order rings, which are lensed images of the accreting matter of the black hole environment and can appear near the boundary of the black hole shadow. In this article, we use strong deflection limit technique to investigate higher-order ring images of luminous accretion disc around a Schwarzschild black hole. We consider thin disk given by the inner and outer radii and an observer located far from the black hole on the axis of symmetry. For this configuration, it becomes possible to find the angular radii, thicknesses, and solid angles of higher-order rings in the form of compact analytical expressions. We show that the size of the rings is mainly determined by the position of the inner boundary of the accretion disk, which makes it possible to use them to distinguish between different accretion models. Possible generalizations of our model to non-symmetric images can help to make the estimation of black hole angular momentum. We also present the analytical estimation of fluxes from higher-order images. Our method makes it easy to investigate $n=2$ and $n=3$ higher-order rings, the possible observation of which in future projects is currently being discussed.

They can have time-like as well as space-like singularities depending on the parameters of the theory. The degenerate black holes lead to cold, ultra cold and Nariai black holes. The geometry of such black holes are discussed. A comparison is done with the Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes.

I analyze the possibility of reproducing MONDian Dark Matter effects by using a non-local model of gravity. The model was used before in order to recreate screening effects for the Cosmological Constant ($\Lambda$) value. Although the model in the weak-field approximation (in static coordinates) can reproduce the field equations in agreement with the AQUAL Lagrangian, the solutions are scale dependent and cannot reproduce the same dynamics in agreement with MOND.

An extended test body moving in a curved spacetime does not typically follow a geodesic, because of forces that arise from couplings between its multipole moments and the ambient curvature. An illustration of this fact was provided by Wisdom, who showed that the motion of a quasi-rigid body undergoing cyclic changes of shape in a curved spacetime deviates, in general, from a geodesic. Wisdom's analysis, however, was recently challenged on the grounds that the body's motion should be described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations, and that these predict geodesic motion for the kind of body considered by Wisdom. We attempt to shed some light on this matter by examining the motion of an internally-moving tripod in Schwarzschild spacetime, as viewed by a Fermi observer moving on a timelike geodesic. We find that the description of the motion depends sensitively on a choice of cycle for the tripod's internal motions, but also on a choice of "center of mass" for the tripod; a sensible (though not unique) prescription for this "center of mass" produces a motion that conforms with Wisdom's prediction: the tripod drifts away from the observer, even when they are given identical initial conditions. We suggest pathways of reconciliation between this conclusion and the null result that apparently follows from the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations of motion.

Gravitational shockwaves are geometries where components of the transverse curvature have abrupt behaviour across null hypersurfaces, which are fronts of the waves. We develop a general approach to describe classical field theories on such geometries in a linearized approximation, by using free scalar fields as a model. Perturbations caused by shockwaves exist above the wave front and are solutions to a characteristic Cauchy problem with initial data on the wave front determined by a supertranslation of ingoing fields. A special attention is paid to perturbations of fields of pointlike sources generated by plane-fronted gravitational shockwaves. One has three effects: conversion of non-stationary perturbations into an outgoing radiation, a spherical scalar shockwave which appears when the gravitational wave hits the source, and a plane scalar shockwave accompanying the initial gravitational wave.

Gravitational shockwaves are geometries where components of the transverse curvature have abrupt behaviour across null hypersurfaces, which are fronts of the waves. We develop a general approach to describe classical field theories on such geometries in a linearized approximation, by using free scalar fields as a model. Perturbations caused by shockwaves exist above the wave front and are solutions to a characteristic Cauchy problem with initial data on the wave front determined by a supertranslation of ingoing fields.

Quantum Cosmology and Gravity are formulated here as the primary and secondary quantizations of the energy constraints by analogy with the historical formulation of quantum field theory. New fact is that both the Universe and its matter are created from stable vacuum obtained by the Bogoliubov-type transformation just as it is in the theory of quantum superfluid liquid. Such the Quantum Gravity gives us possibility to explain topical problems of cosmology by the cosmological creation of universes and particles from vacuum.

This review article is devoted to analyze the main properties characterizing the cosmological singularity associated to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Mixmaster model. After the introduction of the main tools required to treat the cosmological issue, we review in details the main results got along the last forty years on the Mixmaster topic. We firstly assess the classical picture of the homogeneous chaotic cosmologies and, after a presentation of the canonical method for the quantization, we develop the quantum Mixmaster behavior. Finally, we extend both the classical and quantum features to the fully inhomogeneous case. Our survey analyzes the fundamental framework of the Mixmaster picture and completes it by accounting for recent and peculiar outstanding results.

A compact detector for space-time metric and curvature is highly desirable. Here we show that quantum spatial superpositions of mesoscopic objects, of the type which would in principle become possible with a combination of state of the art techniques and taking into account the known sources of decoherence, could be exploited to create such a detector. By using Stern-Gerlach (SG) interferometry with masses much larger than atoms, where the interferometric signal is extracted by measuring spins, we show that accelerations as low as $5\times10^{-15}\textrm{ms}^{-2}\textrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ or better, as well as the frame dragging effects caused by the Earth, could be sensed. Constructing such an apparatus to be non-symmetric would also enable the direct detection of curvature and gravitational waves (GWs). The GW sensitivity scales differently from the stray acceleration sensitivity, a unique feature of MIMAC. We have identified mitigation mechanisms for the known sources of noise, namely Gravity Gradient Noise (GGN), uncertainty principle and electro-magnetic forces. Hence it could potentially lead to a meter sized, orientable and vibrational noise (thermal/seismic) resilient detector of mid (ground based) and low (space based) frequency GWs from massive binaries (the predicted regimes are similar to those targeted by atom interferometers and LISA).

We present a definition of the distance between probability distributions. Our definition is based on the $L_1$ norm on space of probability measures. We compare our distance with the well-known Kullback-Leibler divergence and with the proper distance defined using the Fisher matrix as a metric on the parameter space. We consider using our notion of distance in several problems in gravitational wave data analysis: to place templates in the parameter space in searches for gravitational-wave signals, to assess quality of search templates, and to study the signal resolution.

The general relativistic gravitomagnetic clock effect involves a coupling between the orbital motion of a test particle and the rotation of the central mass and results in a difference in the proper periods of two counter-revolving satellites. It is shown that at O(c^-2) this effect has a simple analogue in the electromagnetic case. Moreover, in view of a possible measurement of the clock effect in the gravitational field of the Earth, we investigate the influence of some classical perturbing forces of the terrestrial space environment on the orbital motion of test bodies along opposite trajectories.

This paper deals with the semiclassical radiation spectrum of static and circularly symmetric 3D charged dilaton black holes with cosmological constant {\Lambda} in non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. We first review the 3D charged dilaton black holes which are solution to low-energy string action. The wave equation of a massless scalar field is shown to be exactly solvable in terms of hypergeometric functions. Thus, the radiation spectrum and its corresponding temperature are obtained, precisely. Computations at high frequency regime show that the radiation spectrum yields the Hawking temperature of the black hole with no charge. Unlike the chargeless case, the Hawking temperature of the charged dilaton black holes is derived from the radiation spectrum at the low frequencies. The utmost importance of the {\Lambda} in the latter result is highlighted.

We compare recent numerical results, obtained within a ``helical Killing vector'' (HKV) approach, on circular orbits of corotating binary black holes to the analytical predictions made by the effective one body (EOB) method (which has been recently extended to the case of spinning bodies). On the scale of the differences between the results obtained by different numerical methods, we find good agreement between numerical data and analytical predictions for several invariant functions describing the dynamical properties of circular orbits. This agreement is robust against the post-Newtonian accuracy used for the analytical estimates, as well as under choices of resummation method for the EOB ``effective potential'', and gets better as one uses a higher post-Newtonian accuracy. These findings open the way to a significant ``merging'' of analytical and numerical methods, i.e. to matching an EOB-based analytical description of the (early and late) inspiral, up to the beginning of the plunge, to a numerical description of the plunge and merger. We illustrate also the ``flexibility'' of the EOB approach, i.e. the possibility of determining some ``best fit'' values for the analytical parameters by comparison with numerical data.

We propose a novel, frequency-domain approach to the analysis of the gravitational-wave ringdown signal of binary black holes and the identification of quasinormal mode frequencies of the remnant. Our approach avoids the issues of spectral leakage that would normally be expected (associated with the abrupt start of the ringdown) by modeling the inspiral and merger parts of the signal using a flexible sum of sine-Gaussian wavelets truncated at the onset of the ringdown. Performing the analysis in the frequency domain allows us to use standard (and by now well-established) Bayesian inference pipelines for gravitational wave data as well as giving us the ability to readily search over the sky position and the ringdown start time, although we find that it is necessary to use an informative prior for the latter. We test our method by using it to analyze several simulated signals with varying signal-to-noise ratios injected into two- and three-detector networks. We find that our frequency-domain approach is generally able to place tighter constraints on the remnant black-hole mass and spin than a standard time-domain analysis.

We consider a Kaluza-Klein vacuum solution which is closely related to the Gross-Perry-Sorkin (GPS) magnetic monopole. The solution can be obtained from the Euclidean Taub-NUT solution with an extra compact fifth spatial dimension within the formalism of Kaluza-Klein reduction. We study its physical properties as appearing in $(3+1)$ spacetime dimensions, which turns out to be a static magnetic monopole. We then boost the GPS magnetic monopole along the extra dimension, and perform the Kaluza-Klein reduction. The resulting four-dimensional spacetime is a rotating stationary system, with both electric and magnetic fields. In fact, after the boost the magnetic monopole turns into a string connected to a dyon.

In this letter we show that theories that violate Local Lorentz Invariance (LLI) or Local Position Invariance (LPI) also violate charge conservation. Using upper bounds on this violation we can put very stringent limits to violations of Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP). These limits, in turn, severely restrict string-based models of low energy physics.

When a test particle moves about an oblate spheroid, it is acted upon, among other things, by two standard perturbing accelerations. One, of Newtonian origin, is due to the quadrupole mass moment $J_2$ of the orbited body. The other one, of the order of $\mathcal{O}\left(1/c^2\right)$, is caused by the static, post-Newtonian field arising solely from the mass of the central object. Both of them concur to induce \textrm{indirect}, \textrm{mixed} orbital effects of the order of $\mathcal{O}\left(J_2/c^2\right)$. They are of the same order of magnitude of the \textrm{direct} ones induced by the post-Newtonian acceleration arising in presence of an oblate source, not treated here. We calculate these less known features of motion in their full generality in terms of the osculating Keplerian orbital elements. Subtleties pertaining the correct calculation of their mixed net \textrm{precessions} per orbit to the full order of $\mathcal{O}\left(J_2/c^2\right)$ are elucidated. The obtained results hold for arbitrary orbital geometries and for any orientation of the body's spin axis $\mathbf{\hat{k}}$ in space. The method presented is completely general, and can be extended to any pair of post-Keplerian accelerations entering the equations of motion of the satellite, irrespectively of their physical nature.

In this article, the superradiation stability of Kerr-Newman black holes is discussed by introducing the condition used in Kerr black holes y into them. Moreover, the motion equation of the minimal coupled scalar perturbation in a Kerr-Newman black hole is divided into angular and radial parts. Hod proved\cite{12} that the Kerr black hole should be superradiantly stable under massive scalar perturbation when $\mu \ge \sqrt{2}m\Omega_H$, where $\mu$ is the mass.

In this article, the superradiation stability of Kerr-Newman black holes is discussed by introducing the condition used in Kerr black holes y into them. Moreover, the motion equation of the minimal coupled scalar perturbation in a Kerr-Newman black hole is divided into angular and radial parts. Hod proved\cite{12} that the Kerr black hole should be superradiantly stable under massive scalar perturbation when $\mu \ge \sqrt{2}m\Omega_H$, where $\mu$ is the mass. In this article, a new variable y is added here to expand the results of the above article. When $\sqrt{2(a^2+Q^2)}/{r^2_+}< \omega< m\varOmega_H+q\varPhi_H$,particularly $\mu \ge \sqrt{2}(m\varOmega_H+q\varPhi_H)$,so the Kerr-Newman black hole is superradiantly stable at that time.

We consider cosmological models with an arbitrary number of scalar fields nonminimally coupled to gravity and construct new integrable cosmological models. In the constructed models, the Ricci scalar is an integral of motion irrespectively of the type of metric. The general solutions of evolution equations in the spatially flat FLRW metric have been found for models the quartic potentials.

In a recent work we derived the kinematic Hamiltonian and primary constraints of the new general relativity class of teleparallel gravity theories and showed that these theories can be grouped in 9 classes, based on the presence or absence of primary constraints in their Hamiltonian. Here we demonstrate an alternative approach towards this result, by using differential forms instead of tensor components throughout the calculation. We prove that also this alternative derivation yields the same results and show how they are related to each other.
