It is proved that coordinate transformations of the Schwarzschild metric to new static and stationary metrics do not eliminate the mode of a particle ''fall'' to the event horizon of a black hole. This mode is unacceptable for the quantum mechanics of stationary states.

On the basis of all commutation relations of the k-deformed phase space incorporating the k-Minkowski space-time, we have derived in this paper an extended first approximation of both Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force in doubly (or deformed) special relativity (DSR). For this purpose, we have used our approach of the special relativistic version of Feynman's proof by which we have established the explicit formulations of electric and magnetic fields. As in Fock's nonlinear relativity (FNLR), the laws of electrodynamics depend on the particle mass which therefore constitutes a common point between the two extended forms of special relativity. As one consequence, the corresponding equation of motion contains two different types of contributions. In addition to the usual type, another one emerges as a consequence of the coexistence of mass and charge which are coupled with the k-deformation and electromagnetic field. This new effect completely induced by the k-deformed phase space is interpreted as the gravitational-type Lorentz force. Unlike FNLR, the corrective terms all depend on the electromagnetic field in DSR.

It is stated that holonomy corrections in loop quantum cosmology introduce a modification in Friedmann's equation which prevent the big rip singularity. Recently in \cite{h12} it has been proved that this modified Friedmann equation is obtained in an inconsistent way, what means that the results deduced from it, in particular the big rip singularity avoidance, are not justified. The problem is that holonomy corrections modify the gravitational part of the Hamiltonian of the system leading, after Legendre's transformation, to a non covariant Lagrangian which is in contradiction with one of the main principles of General Relativity. A more consistent way to deal with the big rip singularity avoidance is to disregard modification in the gravitational part of the Hamiltonian, and only consider inverse volume effects \cite{bo02a}. In this case we will see that, not like the big bang singularity, the big rip singularity survives in loop quantum cosmology. Another way to deal with the big rip avoidance is to take into account geometric quantum effects given by the the Wheeler-De Witt equation. In that case, even though the wave packets spread, the expectation values satisfy the same equations as their classical analogues. Then, following the viewpoint adopted in loop quantum cosmology, one can conclude that the big rip singularity survives when one takes into account these quantum effects. However, the spreading of the wave packets prevents the recover of the semiclassical time, and thus, one might conclude that the classical evolution of the universe come to and end before the big rip is reached. This is not conclusive because. as we will see, it always exists other external times that allows us to define the classical and quantum evolution of the universe up to the big rip singularity.

These notes provide two derivations of the Lorentz-Dirac equation. The first is patterned after Landau and Lifshitz and is based on the observation that the half-retarded minus half-advanced potential is entirely responsible for the radiation-reaction force. The second is patterned after Dirac, and is based upon considerations of energy-momentum conservation; it relies exclusively on the retarded potential. The notes conclude with a discussion of the difficulties associated with the interpretation of the Lorentz-Dirac equation as an equation of motion for a point charge. The presentation is essentially self-contained, but the reader is assumed to possess some elements of differential geometry (necessary for the second derivation only).

Exact static spherically symmetric charged black holes in four dimensions are presented. One of them has only electric charge and another electric and magnetic charges. In these solutions the metric is asymptotically flat, has two horizons, irremovable singularity only at $r=0$, and the dilaton field is singular only at $r=0$. The solution with electric charge only is characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass, the electric charge and an additional free parameter. It can be considered as a modification of the GHS-GM solution obtained by changing the coupling between dilaton and electromagnetic field. The general dyonic solution is again characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass, the magnetic charge and an additional free parameter, which is not the electric charge. According to a definition of the no-hair conjecture the solutions are "hairy".A very interesting special case of the dyonic solution is characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass and the electric and the magnetic charges. The solutions satisfy the dominant as well as the strong energy condition outside and on the external horizon.

We present cosmological solutions for (1+3+n)-dimensional steady state universe in dilaton gravity with an arbitrary dilaton coupling constant w and exponential dilaton self-interaction potentials in the string frame. We focus particularly on the class in which the 3-space expands with a time varying deceleration parameter. We discuss the number of the internal dimensions and the value of the dilaton coupling constant to determine the cases that are consistent with the observed universe and the primordial nucleosynthesis. The 3-space starts with a decelerated expansion rate and evolves into accelerated expansion phase subject to the values of w and n, but ends with a Big Rip in all cases. We discuss the cosmological evolution in further detail for the cases w=1 and w=1/2 that permit exact solutions. We also comment on how the universe would be conceived by an observer in four dimensions who is unaware of the internal dimensions and thinks that the conventional general relativity is valid at cosmological scales.

When quantum back-reaction by fluctuations, correlations and higher moments of a state becomes strong, semiclassical quantum mechanics resembles a dynamical system with a high-dimensional phase space. Here, systematic computational methods to derive the dynamical equations including all quantum corrections to high order in the moments are introduced, together with a (deparameterized) quantum cosmological example to illustrate some implications. The results show, for instance, that the Gaussian form of an initial state is maintained only briefly, but that the evolving state settles down to a new characteristic shape afterwards. Remarkably, even in the regime of large high-order moments, we observe a strong convergence within all considered orders that supports the use of this effective approach.

We investigate the effects of light cone caustics on the propagation of linear scalar fields in generic four-dimensional spacetimes. In particular, we analyze the singular structure of relevant Green functions. As expected from general theorems, Green functions associated with wave equations are globally singular along a large class of null geodesics. Despite this, the "nature" of the singularity on a given geodesic does not necessarily remain fixed. It can change character on encountering caustics of the light cone. These changes are studied by first deriving global Green functions for scalar fields propagating on smooth plane wave spacetimes. We then use Penrose limits to argue that there is a sense in which the "leading order singular behavior" of a (typically unknown) Green function associated with a generic spacetime can always be understood using a (known) Green function associated with an appropriate plane wave spacetime. This correspondence is used to derive a simple rule describing how Green functions change their singular structure near some reference null geodesic. Such changes depend only on the multiplicities of the conjugate points encountered along the reference geodesic. Using sigma(p,p') to denote a suitable generalization of Synge's world function, conjugate points with multiplicity 1 convert Green function singularities involving delta(sigma) into singularities involving 1/pi sigma (and vice-versa). Conjugate points with multiplicity 2 may be viewed as having the effect of two successive passes through conjugate points with multiplicity 1.

Hawking radiation explicitly depends only on the black hole's total mass, charge and angular momentum. It is therefore generally believed that one cannot reconstruct the information about the initial mass distribution of an object that made the black hole. However, instead of looking at radiation from a static black hole, we can study the whole time-dependent process of the gravitational collapse, and pre-Hawking radiation which is excited because of the time-dependent metric. We compare radiation emitted by a single collapsing shell with that emitted by two concentric shells of the equivalent total mass. We calculate the gravitational trajectory and the momentum energy tensor. We show that the flux of energy emitted during the collapse by a single shell is significantly different from the flux emitted by two concentric shells of the equivalent total mass. When the static black hole is formed, the fluxes become indistinguishable. This implies that an observer studying the flux of particles from a collapsing object could in principle reconstruct information not only about the total mass of the collapsing object, but also about the mass distribution.

The said theory is generalizing reference frames theory in GR. Physical structure (P-structure) and corresponding physical geometry (P-geometry) notions, representing properties invariance of some physical objects and their relations, are introduced. P-structure of classical physical time and its corresponding chronogeometry is considered as an example. Some quantitative characteristics of observer's visual space geometry are experimentally determined. The affine model of visual geometry is offered to interpret experimentally sampled data. The connection of the obtained results with some problems of theoretical physics is being discussed.

GW190412: measuring a black-hole recoil direction through higher-order gravitational-wave modes

General relativity predicts that gravitational waves (GWs) carry linear momentum. Consequently, the remnant black hole of a black-hole merger can inherit a recoil velocity or ``kick'' of crucial implications in, e.g, black-hole formation scenarios. While the kick magnitude is determined by the mass ratio and spins of the source, estimating its direction requires a measurement of the two orientation angles of the source. While the orbital inclination angle is commonly reported in GW observations, the azimuthal one has been to date ignored. We show how the presence of more than one GW emission mode allows constraining this angle and, consequently, determines the kick direction in a real GW event. %We show that the higher-order mode content GW190412 enables the determination of both these angles and, consequently, the kick direction. We analyse the GW190412 signal, which contains higher-order modes, with a numerical-relativity surrogate waveform model for black-hole mergers. We find that while GW190412 is barely informative about the kick magnitude, we can constrain its direction. This forms angles $\theta_{KL}^{\text{-100M}}=28^{+23}_{-11}\,\deg$ with the orbital angular momentum defined at a reference time $t_{\rm ref}=-100\,M$ before merger (being preferentially kicked upwards), $\theta_{KN}=37^{+15}_{-12}\,\deg$ with the line-of-sight and $\phi_{KN}^{\text{-100M}}=46^{+32}_{-41}\,\deg$ with the projection of the latter onto the former, all at the $68\%$ credible level. We briefly discuss the potential application of this type of measurement for multi-messenger observations of black-hole mergers occurring in Active Galactic Nuclei.

We show how the presence of more than one GW emission mode allows constraining this angle and, consequently, determines the kick direction in a real GW event. %We show that the higher-order mode content GW190412 enables the determination of both these angles and, consequently, the kick direction. We analyse the GW190412 signal, which contains higher-order modes, with a numerical-relativity surrogate waveform model for black-hole mergers. We find that while GW190412 is barely informative about the kick magnitude, we can constrain its direction. This forms angles $\theta_{KL}^{\text{-100M}}=28^{+23}_{-11}\,\deg$ with the orbital angular momentum defined at a reference time $t_{\rm ref}=-100\,M$ before merger (being preferentially kicked upwards), $\theta_{KN}=37^{+15}_{-12}\,\deg$ with the line-of-sight and $\phi_{KN}^{\text{-100M}}=46^{+32}_{-41}\,\deg$ with the projection of the latter onto the former, all at the $68\%$ credible level. We briefly discuss the potential application of this type of measurement for multi-messenger observations of black-hole mergers occurring in Active Galactic Nuclei.

Black hole-neutron star binary mergers display a much richer phenomenology than black hole-black hole mergers, even in the relatively simple case - considered in this paper - in which both the black hole and the neutron star are nonspinning. When the neutron star is tidally disrupted, the gravitational wave emission is radically different from the black hole-black hole case and it can be broadly classified in two groups, depending on the spatial extent of the disrupted material. We present a phenomenological model for the gravitational waveform amplitude in the frequency domain that encompasses the three possible outcomes of the merger: no tidal disruption, "mild", and "strong" tidal disruption. The model is calibrated to general relativistic numerical simulations using piecewise polytropic neutron star equations of state. It should prove useful to extract information on the nuclear equation of state from future gravitational-wave observations, and also to obtain more accurate estimates of black hole-neutron star merger event rates in second- and third-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. We plan to extend and improve the model as longer and more accurate gravitational waveforms become available, and we will make it publicly available online as a Mathematica package. We also present in appendix analytical fits of the projected KAGRA noise spectral density, that should be useful in data analysis applications.

Whenever the condition of anomaly freedom is imposed within the framework of effective approaches to loop quantum cosmology, one seems to conclude that a deformation of general covariance is required. Here, starting from a general deformation we regain an effective gravitational Lagrangian including terms up to fourth order in extrinsic curvature. We subsequently constrain the form of the corrections, and then investigate the conditions for the occurrence of a big bounce and the realisation of an inflationary era, in the presence of a perfect fluid or scalar field.

The literature features many instances of spacetimes containing two black holes held apart by a thin distribution of matter on the axis joining the holes. For all such spacetimes, the Einstein field equations are integrated with an energy-momentum tensor that does not include a contribution from the axial matter; the presence of this matter is inferred instead from the existence of a conical singularity in the spacetime. And for all such spacetimes, the axial matter is characterized by a pressure (or tension) equal to its linear energy density; the matter is therefore revealed to have a very specific equation of state. Our purpose with this paper is to show that the axial matter can be introduced at the very start of the exercise, through the specification of a distributional energy-momentum tensor, and that one can choose for it any equation of state. To evade no-go theorems regarding line sources in general relativity, we retreat to a perturbative expansion of the gravitational field, using the Schwarzschild metric as a description of the background spacetime. Instead of a second black hole, our prototypical system features a point particle at a fixed position outside the Schwarzschild black hole, attached to a string extending to infinity. This matter is described in terms of a distributional energy-momentum tensor, and we examine different equations of state for the string. To integrate the field equations we introduce a new "Weyl" gauge for the metric perturbation, which allows us to find closed-form expressions for the gravitational potentials. Our solutions are linearized versions of multi-hole spacetimes, and some of them feature strings with a varying tension, unequal to the energy density. We describe the properties of these spacetimes, and begin an exploration of their extended thermodynamics.

We present some new aspects of Kiselev black hole and then study the null and timelike thin shell collapse in this spacetime. For the latter, we show that Kiselev black hole can be matched to de Sitter core with a thin timelike dust shell to produce a non-singular black hole space-time. It is argued that for timelike hypersurface, the equation of state parameter must be non-negative. Using Barrabes-Israel junction conditions, the equation of motion of the shell is obtained. The stability of stationary solutions of the shell is discussed and some appropriate ranges for the parameters of shell and Kiselev geometry are found for which a stable stationary black hole is constructed.

We compute numerically the quasinormal modes of Kerr-Newman black holes in the scalar case, for which the perturbation equations are separable. Then we study different approximations to decouple electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of the Kerr-Newman metric, computing the corresponding quasinormal modes. Our results suggest that the Teukolsky-like equation derived by Dudley and Finley gives a good approximation to the dynamics of a rotating charged black hole for Q<M/2. Though insufficient to deal with Kerr-Newman based models of elementary particles, the Dudley-Finley equation should be adequate for astrophysical applications.

We generalize the idea of Vassiliev invariants to the spin network context, with the aim of using these invariants as a kinematical arena for a canonical quantization of gravity. This paper presents a detailed construction of these invariants (both ambient and regular isotopic) requiring a significant elaboration based on the use of Chern-Simons perturbation theory which extends the work of Kauffman, Martin and Witten to four-valent networks. We show that this space of knot invariants has the crucial property -from the point of view of the quantization of gravity- of being loop differentiable in the sense of distributions. This allows the definition of diffeomorphism and Hamiltonian constraints. We show that the invariants are annihilated by the diffeomorphism constraint. In a companion paper we elaborate on the definition of a Hamiltonian constraint, discuss the constraint algebra, and show that the construction leads to a consistent theory of canonical quantum gravity.

It is known that one can formulate an action in teleparallel gravity which is equivalent to general relativity, up to a boundary term. In this geometry we have vanishing curvature, and non-vanishing torsion. The action is constructed by three different contractions of torsion with specific coefficients. By allowing these coefficients to be arbitrary we get the theory which is called `new general relativity'. In this note, the Lagrangian for new general relativity is written down in ADM-variables. In order to write down the Hamiltonian we need to invert the velocities to canonical variables. However, the inversion depends on the specific combination of constraints satisfied by the theory (which depends on the coefficients in the Lagrangian). It is found that one can combine these constraints in 9 different ways to obtain non-trivial theories, each with a different inversion formula.

We study the distribution of quantum entanglement for continuous variables among causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. It is found that genuine tripartite entanglement is generated among the open chart modes under the influence of curvature of de Sitter space for any nonzero squeezing. Bipartite entanglement is also generated when the curvature is strong enough, even though the observers are separated by the event horizon. This provides a clearcut interpretation of the two-mode squeezing mechanism in the de Sitter space. In addition, the curvature generated genuine tripartite entanglement is found to be less sensitive to the mass parameter than the generated bipartite entanglement. The effects of the curvature of de Sitter space on the generated entanglement become more apparent in the limit of conformal and massless scalar fields.

Jin et al reported that axisymmetric simulations of NS-like objects with polytropic EOS undergo critical gravitational collapse. As the critical collapse observed via fine-tuning of the adiabatic index $\Gamma$, they conjecture that critical phenomena may occur in realistic astrophysical scenarios. To clarify the implications this numerical observation has on realistic astrophysical scenarios, here, we perform dynamical analysis on the structure of the critical collapse observed in the former work. We report the time scales and oscillation frequencies exhibited by the critical solution and compare these results with values obtained from analytic perturbative mode analysis of equilibrium TOV configurations. We also establish the universality of the critical solution with respect to a 1-parameter family of initial data as well as the phase space manifold of the critical collapse.

We derive multiparty games that, if the winning chance exceeds a certain limit, prove the incompatibility of the parties' causal relations with any partial order. This, in turn, means that the parties exert a back-action on the causal relations; the causal relations are dynamical. The games turn out to be representable by directed graphs, for instance by an orientation of the M\"obius ladder. We discuss these games as device-independent tests of spacetime's dynamical nature in general relativity. To do so, we design a relativistic setting where, in the Minkowski spacetime, the winning chance is bound to the limits. In contrast, we find otherwise tame processes with classical control of causal order that win the games deterministically. These suggest a violation of the bounds in gravitational implementations. We obtain these games by uncovering a "pairwise central symmetry" of the correlations in question. This symmetry allows us to recycle the facets of the acyclic subgraph polytope studied by Gr\"otschel, J\"unger, and Reinelt in the mid-80s for combinatorial optimization. In addition, we derive multiparty games in a scenario where the polytope dimension grows only linearly in the number of parties. Here, exceeding the limits not only proves the dynamical nature of the causal relations, but also that the correlations are incompatible with any global causal order.

We examine the effective field equations that are obtained from the axi-dilaton gravity action with a second order Euler-Poincare term and a cosmological constant in all higher dimensions. We solve these equations for five-dimensional spacetimes possessing homogeneity and isotropy in their three-dimensional subspaces. For a number of interesting special cases we show that the solutions fall into two main classes: The first class consists of time-dependent solutions with spherical or hyperboloidal symmetry which require certain fine-tuning relations between the coupling constants of the model and the cosmological constant. Solutions in the second class are locally static and prove the validity of Birkhoff's staticity theorem in the axi-dilaton gravity. We also give a special class of static solutions, among them the well-known black hole solutions in which the usual electric charge is superseded by an axion charge.

Effective gravitational field equations on a four dimensional brane embedded in a five dimensional bulk have been considered. Using the Einstein-Hilbert action along with the Gauss-Bonnet correction term, we have derived static spherically symmetric vacuum solution to the effective field equations, first order in the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter. The solution so obtained, has one part corresponding to general relativity with an additional correction term, proportional to the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter. The correction term modifies the spacetime structure, in particular, the location of the event horizon. Proceeding further, we have derived effective field equations for $f(R)$ gravity with Gauss-Bonnet correction term and a static spherically symmetric solution has been obtained. In this case the Gauss-Bonnet term modifies both the event and cosmological horizon of the spacetime. There exist another way of obtaining the brane metric --- expanding the bulk gravitational field equations in the ratio of bulk to brane curvature scale and assuming a separable bulk metric ansatz. It turns out that static, spherically symmetric solutions obtained from this perturbative method can be matched exactly, with the solutions derived earlier. This will hold for Einstein-Hilbert plus Gauss-Bonnet as well as for f(R) with the Gauss-Bonnet correction. Implications of these results are discussed.

Many properties of black holes can be studied using acoustic analogues in the laboratory through the propagation of sound waves. We investigate in detail sound wave propagation in a rotating acoustic (2+1)-dimensional black hole, which corresponds to the ``draining bathtub'' fluid flow. We compute the quasinormal mode frequencies of this system and discuss late-time power-law tails. Due to the presence of an ergoregion, waves in a rotating acoustic black hole can be superradiantly amplified. We compute superradiant reflection coefficients and instability timescales for the acoustic black hole bomb, the equivalent of the Press-Teukolsky black hole bomb. Finally we discuss quasinormal modes and late-time tails in a non-rotating canonical acoustic black hole, corresponding to an incompressible, spherically symmetric (3+1)-dimensional fluid flow.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the weak deflection angle of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in the presence of plasma medium. To attain our results, we implement the Gibbons and Werner approach and use the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to Einstein gravity to acquire the resulting deflection angle of photon's ray in the weak field limit. Moreover, we illustrate the behavior of plasma medium and non-plasma mediums on the deflection of photon's ray in the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Similarly, we observe the graphical influences of deflection angle on Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the consideration of both plasma and non-plasma mediums. Later, we observe the rigorous bounds phenomenon of the greybody factor in contact with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and calculate the outcomes, analyze graphically for specific values of parameters.

The evolution of a Universe modelled as a mixture of a Chaplygin gas and radiation is determined by taking into account irreversible processes. This mixture could interpolate periods of a radiation dominated, a matter dominated and a cosmological constant dominated Universe. The results of a Universe modelled by this mixture are compared with the results of a mixture whose constituents are radiation and quintessence. Among other results it is shown that: (a) for both models there exists a period of a past deceleration with a present acceleration; (b) the slope of the acceleration of the Universe modelled as a mixture of a Chaplygin gas with radiation is more pronounced than that modelled as a mixture of quintessence and radiation; (c) the energy density of the Chaplygin gas tends to a constant value at earlier times than the energy density of quintessence does; (d) the energy density of radiation for both mixtures coincide and decay more rapidly than the energy densities of the Chaplygin gas and of quintessence.

We investigate the scattering of a spinning test particle by a Kerr black hole within the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model to linear order in spin. The particle's spin and orbital angular momentum are taken to be aligned with the black hole's spin. Both the particle's mass and spin length are assumed to be small in comparison with the characteristic length scale of the background curvature, in order to avoid backreaction effects. We analytically compute the modifications due to the particle's spin to the scattering angle, the periastron shift, and the condition for capture by the black hole, extending previous results valid for the nonrotating Schwarzschild background. Finally, we discuss how to generalize the present analysis beyond the linear approximation in spin, including spin-squared corrections in the case of a black-hole-like quadrupolar structure for the extended test body.

We discuss the causal set approach to discrete quantum gravity. We begin by describing a classical sequential growth process in which the universe grows one element at a time in discrete steps. At each step the process has the form of a causal set and the "completed" universe is given by a path through a discretely growing chain of causal sets. We then introduce a method for quantizing this classical formalism to obtain a quantum sequential growth process which may lead to a viable model for a discrete quantum gravity. We also give a method for quantizing random variables in the classical process to obtain observables in the corresponding quantum process. The paper closes by showing that a discrete isometric process can be employed to construct a quantum sequential growth process.

Extended $f(R)$ theories of gravity have been investigated from the symmetry point of view. We briefly has been investigated Noether symmetry of two types of extended $f(R)$ theories: $f(R,T)$ theory, in which curvature is coupled non minimally to the trace of energy momentum tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$ and mimetic $f (R) $ gravity, a theory with a scalar field degree of freedom, but ghost-free and with internal conformal symmetry. In both cases we write point -like Lagrangian for flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological background in the presence of ordinary matter. We have been shown that some classes of models existed with Noether symmetry in these viable extensions of $f(R)$ gravity. As a motivated idea, we have been investigating the stability of the solutions and the bouncing and $\Lambda$CDM models using the Noether symmetries. We have been shown that in mimetic $f(R)$ gravity bouncing and $\Lambda$CDM solutions are possible. Also a class of solutions with future singularities has been investigated.

In both solutions, we consider the recent data from Planck and BICEP2 data to constraint the parameter in our model. We find that the slow roll approximation is disfavored in the presence of non-minimal couplings during the power law expansion of the Universe.

In this paper we construct asymptotically locally AdS and flat black holes in the presence of a scalar field whose kinetic term is constructed out from a linear combination of the metric and the Einstein tensor. The field equations as well as the energy-momentum tensor are second order in the metric and the field, therefore the theory belongs to the ones defined by Horndeski. We show that in the presence of a cosmological term in the action, it is possible to have a real scalar field in the region outside the event horizon. The solutions are characterized by a single integration constant, the scalar field vanishes at the horizon and it contributes to the effective cosmological constant at infinity. We extend these results to the topological case. The solution is disconnected from the maximally symmetric AdS background, however, within this family there exits a gravitational soliton which is everywhere regular. This soliton is therefore used as a background to define a finite Euclidean action and to obtain the thermodynamics of the black holes. For a certain region in the space of parameters, the thermodynamic analysis reveals a critical temperature at which a Hawking-Page phase transition between the black hole and the soliton occurs. We extend the solution to arbitrary dimensions grater than four and show that the presence of a cosmological term in the action allows to consider the case in which the standard kinetic term for the scalar it's not present. In such scenario, the solution reduces to an asymptotically flat black hole.

We propose a "thought technique" for detecting Gravitational Waves using Einstein-Podolski-Rosen photon Entangled States. GWs decohere the entangled photon pairs, introduce a relative rotation and de-synchronize Alice and Bob's reference frames thus reducing the measured non-locality of correlated quanta described by Bell's inequalities. Gravitational Waves, distorting quantum encryption key statistics away from a pure white noise, act then as shadow eavesdroppers. The deviation from the intrinsic white-noise randomness of a Quantum Key Distribution process can reveal the presence of a gravitational wave by analyzing the emerging color distortions in the key. Photon entangled states provide the key advantage of revealing the polarization rotation introduced by GWs without the need of previously fixed reference frames

We consider the FRW cosmological model in which the matter content of universe (playing a role of inflaton or quintessence) is given by a novel generalization of the massive scalar field. The latter is a scalar version of the recently introduced Nonlinear Field Space Theory (NFST), where physical phase space of a given field is assumed to be compactified at large energies. For our analysis we choose the simple case of a field with the spherical phase space and endow it with the generalized Hamiltonian analogous to the XXZ Heisenberg model, normally describing a system of spins in condensed matter physics. Subsequently, we study both the homogenous cosmological sector and linear perturbations of such a test field. In the homogenous sector we find that nonlinearity of the field phase space is becoming relevant for large volumes of universe and then it can lead to a recollapse, and possibly also at very high energies, leading to the phase of a bounce. Quantization of the field is performed in the limit where nontrivial nature of its phase space can be neglected, while there is a non-vanishing contribution from the Lorentz symmetry breaking term of the Hamiltonian. As a result, in the leading order of the XXZ anisotropy parameter, we find that the inflationary spectral index remains unmodified with respect to the standard case but the total amplitude of perturbations is subject to a correction. The Bunch-Davies vacuum state also becomes appropriately corrected. The proposed new approach is bringing cosmology and condensed matter physics closer together, which may turn out to be beneficial for both disciplines.

Boundary conditions play a crucial role in the path-integral approach to quantum gravity and quantum cosmology, as well as in the current attempts to understand the one-loop semiclassical properties of quantum field theories. Within this framework, one is led to consider boundary conditions completely invariant under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on metric perturbations. These are part of a general scheme, which can be developed for Maxwell theory, Yang-Mills Theory, Rarita-Schwinger fields and any other gauge theory. A general condition for strong ellipticity of the resulting field theory on manifolds with boundary is here proved, following recent work by the authors. The relevance for Euclidean quantum gravity is eventually discussed.

We perform a qualitative and thermodynamic study of two models when one takes into account adiabatic particle production. In the first one, there is a constant particle production rate, which leads to solutions depicting the current cosmic acceleration but without inflation. The other one has solutions that unify the early and late time acceleration. These solutions converge asymptotically to the thermal equilibrium.

Whereas semiclassical gravity is based on the semiclassical Einstein equation with sources given by the expectation value of the stress-energy tensor of quantum fields, stochastic semiclassical gravity is based on the Einstein-Langevin equation, which has in addition sources due to the noise kernel.In the first part, we describe the fundamentals of this new theory via two approaches: the axiomatic and the functional. In the second part, we describe three applications of stochastic gravity theory. First, we consider metric perturbations in a Minkowski spacetime: we compute the two-point correlation functions for the linearized Einstein tensor and for the metric perturbations. Second, we discuss structure formation from the stochastic gravity viewpoint. Third, we discuss the backreaction of Hawking radiation in the gravitational background of a quasi-static black hole.

In this work, we will be testing four different general \textit{f(R)}-gravity models, two of which are the more realistic models (namely the Starobinsky and the Hu-Sawicki models), to determine if they are viable alternative models to pursue a more vigorous constraining test upon them. For the testing of these models, we use 359 low- and intermediate-redshift Supernovae Type 1A data obtained from thRede SDSS-II/SNLS2 Joint Light-curve Analysis (JLA). We develop a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation to find a best-fitting function within reasonable ranges for each \textit{f(R)}-gravity model, as well as for the Lambda Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model. For simplicity, we assume a flat universe with a negligible radiation density distribution. Therefore, the only difference between the accepted $\Lambda$CDM model and the \textit{f(R)}-gravity models will be the dark energy term and the arbitrary free parameters. By doing a statistical analysis and using the $\Lambda$CDM model as our "true model", we can obtain an indication whether or not a certain \textit{f(R)}-gravity model shows promise and requires a more in-depth view in future studies. In our results, we found that the Starobinsky model obtained a larger likelihood function value than the $\Lambda$CDM model, while still obtaining the cosmological parameters to be $\Omega_{m} = 0.268^{+0.027}_{-0.024}$ for the matter density distribution and $\bar{h} = 0.690^{+0.005}_{-0.005}$ for the Hubble uncertainty parameter. We also found a reduced Starobinsky model that are able to explain the data, as well as being statistically significant.

Solutions have been found for gravity coupled to electromagnetic field and a set of charged and uncharged perfect fluids for Bianchi Types VI_{(-1)}, VIII, IX, under the primary assumption of the existence of a conformal Killing vector field. The electromagnetic field ``absorbs'' the ``frozen'' anisotropy and the remaining equations are dynamically equivalent with the equations of {\Lambda}CDM. There are solutions with flat, negative and positive effective spatial curvature corresponding to the three FLRW classes. Three equations of state for the charged perfect fluid where studied: non-relativistic w=0, relativistic w=\frac{1}{3} and dark energy-like w=-1. For the first two cases, maximum values exist for the scale factor, in order for the weak energy conditions to be respected, which depend upon the geometric and charged fluid parameters. A minimum value for the scale factor exists (for the solutions to be valid) in all the cases and Types, indicating the absence of initial spacetime singularity (big bang). This minimum value depends upon the geometric and electromagnetic parameters. The number of essential constants in the final form of each metric is the minimum without loss of generality due to the use of the constant Automorphism's group. A known solution, with the anisotropy absorbed via one free scalar field is reproduced with our method and contains the minimum possible number of parameters.

For a spherically symmetric vacuum model with a negative cosmological constant, a complex constrained instanton is considered as the seed for the quantum pair creation of Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black holes. The relative creation probability is found to be the exponential of the negative of the black hole entropy. The black hole entropy is known to be one quarter of the black hole horizon area. In the absence of a general no-boundary proposal for open creation, the constrained instanton approach is used in treating both the open and closed pair creations of black holes.

We analyse a classical model of gravitation coupled to a self interacting scalar field. We show that, within the context of this model for Robertson-Walker cosmologies, there exist solutions in the spatially non-flat cases exhibiting transitions from a Euclidean to a Lorentzian spacetime. We then discuss the conditions under which these signature changing solutions to Einstein's field equations exist. In particular, we find that an upper bound for the cosmological constant exists and that close to the signature changing hypersurface, both the scale factor and the scalar field have to be constant. Moreover we find that the signature changing solutions do not exist when the scalar field is massless.

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich information about source physics; thus parameter estimation and model selection are crucial analysis steps for any detection candidate events. Detailed models of the anticipated waveforms enable inference on several parameters, such as component masses, spins, sky location and distance that are essential for new astrophysical studies of these sources. However, accurate measurements of these parameters and discrimination of models describing the underlying physics are complicated by artifacts in the data, uncertainties in the waveform models and in the calibration of the detectors. Here we report such measurements on a selection of simulated signals added either in hardware or software to the data collected by the two LIGO instruments and the Virgo detector during their most recent joint science run, including a "blind injection" where the signal was not initially revealed to the collaboration. We exemplify the ability to extract information about the source physics on signals that cover the neutron star and black hole parameter space over the individual mass range 1 Msun - 25 Msun and the full range of spin parameters. The cases reported in this study provide a snap-shot of the status of parameter estimation in preparation for the operation of advanced detectors.

Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich information about source physics; thus parameter estimation and model selection are crucial analysis steps for any detection candidate events. Detailed models of the anticipated waveforms enable inference on several parameters, such as component masses, spins, sky location and distance that are essential for new astrophysical studies of these sources. However, accurate measurements of these parameters and discrimination of models describing the underlying physics are complicated by artifacts in the data, uncertainties in the waveform models and in the calibration of the detectors. Here we report such measurements on a selection of simulated signals added either in hardware or software to the data collected by the two LIGO instruments and the Virgo detector during their most recent joint science run, including a "blind injection" where the signal was not initially revealed to the collaboration. We exemplify the ability to extract information about the source physics on signals that cover the neutron star and black hole parameter space over the individual mass range 1 Msun - 25 Msun and the full range of spin parameters. The cases reported in this study provide a snap-shot of the status of parameter estimation in preparation for the operation of advanced detectors.

In this paper, we consider dyonic charged AdS black hole which is holographic dual of a van der Waals fluid. We use logarithmic corrected entropy and study thermodynamics of the black hole and show that holographic picture is still valid. Critical behaviors and stability also discussed. Logarithmic corrections arises due to thermal fluctuations which are important when size of black hole be small. So, thermal fluctuations interpreted as quantum effect. It means that we can see quantum effect of a black hole which is a gravitational system.

Properties of Scalar Hairy Black Holes and Scalarons with Asymmetric Potential

In this paper we study the properties of black holes and scalarons in Einstein gravity when it is minimally coupled to a scalar field $\phi$ with an asymmetric potential $V(\phi)$, constructed in [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{73} (2006), 084002] a few decades ago. $V(\phi)$ has been applied in the cosmology to describe the quantum tunneling process from the false vacuum to the true vacuum and contains a local maximum, a local minimum (false vacuum) and a global minimum (true vacuum). In particular we focus on the asymptotically flat solutions, which can be constructed by fixing appropriately the local minimum of $V$. A branch of hairy black holes solutions emerge from the Schwarzschild black hole, and we study the domain of existence of such configurations. They can reach to a particle-like solution in the small horizon limit, i.e. the scalarons. We study the stability of black holes and scalarons, showing that all of them are unstable under radial perturbations.

In the context of investigations of possible highly relativistic motions of a spinning particle in the gravitational field, which can be described by the Mathisson equations under different supplementary condition, we analyze the circular orbits in a Schwarzschild field. The very orbits most clearly demonstrate the effect of the gravitational spin-orbit interaction on the particle's motion. It is shown that the Mathisson equations under the Frenkel-Mathisson and Tulczyjew-Dixon conditions have the common solutions describing the highly relativistic circular orbits in the region $r=3M(1+\delta), |\delta|\ll 1$. These orbits essentially differ from the geodesic circular orbits in the same region, particularly by the value of the particle's energy on the corresponding orbits.

We perform a careful investigation of the problem of physically realistic gravitational collapse of massive stars in f(R)-gravity. We show that the extra matching conditions that arise in the modified gravity imposes strong constraints on the stellar structure and thermodynamic properties. In our opinion these constraints are unphysical. We prove that no homogeneous stars with non-constant Ricci scalar can be matched smoothly with a static exterior for any nonlinear function f(R). Therefore, these extra constraints make classes of physically realistic collapse scenarios in general relativity, non-admissible in these theories. We also find an exact solution for an inhomogeneous collapsing star in the Starobinski model that obeys all the energy and matching conditions. However, we argue that such solutions are fine-tuned and unstable to matter perturbations. Possible consequences on black hole physics and the cosmic censorship conjecture are also discussed.

In this work, exact solutions of static and spherically symmetric space-times are analyzed in f(R) modified theories of gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. Firstly, we restrict the metric fields to one degree of freedom, considering the specific case of g_tt\g_rr = -1. Using the dual P formalism of nonlinear electrodynamics an exact general solution is deduced in terms of the structural function H_P. In particular, specific exact solutions to the gravitational field equations are found, confirming previous results and new pure electric field solutions are found. Secondly, motivated by the existence of regular electric fields at the center, and allowing for the case of g_tt\g_rr \= -1, new specific solutions are found. Finally, we outline alternative approaches by considering the specific case of constant curvature, followed by the analysis of a specific form for f(R).

In this work, we implement the $13^{th}$ order semi-analytical WKB method to explore the stability of hairy black holes obtained in the framework of Gravitational Decoupling. In particular, we perform a detailed analysis of the frequencies of the quasi-normal modes as a function of the primary hair of the solutions with the aim to bound their values. We explore a broad interval in a step of 0.1 of the hair parameters. We find that except for some cases where the method is expected to have poor accuracy, all the solutions seem to be stable and the role played by the primary hair is twofold: to modulate the damping factor of the perturbation and to decrease the frequency of its oscillation.

The energy conditions of mimetic-$f(R)$ gravity theory is analyzed. We will obtain the parameter space of the theory in some special forms of $f(R)$ in which the self-acceleration is allowed. In this sense, the parameter space is obtained in a way that it violates the strong energy condition while satisfying the weak, null and dominant energy conditions. We will also consider the condition that the Dolgov-Kawasaki instability is avoided. This condition will be further imposed in the parameter space of the theory. We will show that the parameter space of the mimetic-$f(R)$ gravity is larger than $f(R)$ gravity theory.

In this sense, the parameter space is obtained in a way that it violates the strong energy condition while satisfying the weak, null and dominant energy conditions. We will also consider the condition that the Dolgov-Kawasaki instability is avoided. This condition will be further imposed in the parameter space of the theory. We will show that the parameter space of the mimetic-$f(R)$ gravity is larger than $f(R)$ gravity theory.

A second gradient generalization of Newtonian gravity is presented within the framework of gradient field theory. Weak nonlocality is introduced via first and second gradients of the gravitational field strength in the Lagrangian density. Gradient generalizations of the Poisson equation of Newtonian gravitation for the gravitational potential and of the generalized Gauss law for the gravitational field strength are presented. Such a gradient modification of Newtonian gravity provides a straightforward regularization of Newtonian gravity removing the classical Newtonian singularities. Finite gradient modifications of the gravitational potential energy and of the gravitational force law are constructed, with a possible connection to Yukawa interaction, and as suitable candidates for experimental tests of Newton's inverse-square law at short distances. In addition, nonlocal gravity of exponential type is investigated and its relation to gradient gravity theory is given.

A photon with a modulated wavefront can produce a quantum communication channel in a larger Hilbert space. For example, higher dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) can encode information in the transverse linear momentum (LM) or orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of a photon. This is markedly different than using the intrinsic polarization of a photon. HD-QKD has advantages for free space QKD since it can increase the communication channel\~Os tolerance to bit error rate (BER) while maintaining or increasing the channels bandwidth. We describe an efficient numerical simulation of the propagation photon with an arbitrary complex wavefront in a material with an isotropic but inhomogeneous index of refraction. We simulate the waveform propagation of an optical vortex in a volume holographic element in the paraxial approximation using an operator splitting method. We use this code to analyze an OAM volume-holographic sorter. Furthermore, there are analogue models of the evolution of a wavefront in the curved spacetime environs of the Earth that can be constructed using an optical medium with a given index of refraction. This can lead to a work-bench realization of a satellite HD-QKD system.

Recently, a non-trivial $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravity, by rescaling the GB coupling parameter as $\alpha/(D-4)$, was formulated in \cite{Glavan:2019inb}, which bypasses Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky instability. The theory admits a static spherically symmetric black hole, unlike $5D$ EGB or general relativity counterpart, which can have both Cauchy and event horizons. We generalize previous work, on gravitational lensing by a Schwarzschild black hole, in the strong and weak deflection limits to the $4D$ EGB black holes to calculate the deflection coefficients $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b}$, while former increases and later decrease with increasing $\alpha$. We also find that the deflection angle $\alpha_D$, angular position $\theta_{\infty}$ and $u_{m}$ decreases, but angular separation $s$ increases with $\alpha$. The effect of the GB coupling parameter $\alpha$ on positions and magnification of the source relativistic images is discussed in the context of SgrA* and M87* black holes. A brief description of the weak gravitational lensing using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem is presented.

The Teleparallel Theory is equivalent to General Relativity, but whereas in the latter gravity has to do with curvature, in the former gravity is described by torsion. As is well known, there is in the literature a host of alternative theories of gravity, among them the so called extended theories, in which additional terms are added to the action, such as for example in the $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ gravities, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the scalar torsion, respectively. One of the ways to probe alternative gravity is via compact objects. In fact, there is in the literature a series of papers on compact objects in $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ gravity. In particular, there are several papers that consider $f(T) = T + \xi T^2$, where $\xi$ is a real constant. In this paper, we generalise such extension considering compact stars in $f (T ) = T + \xi T^\beta$ gravity, where $\xi$ and $\beta$ are real constants and looking out for the implications in their maximum masses and compactness in comparison to the General Relativity. Also, we are led to constrain the $\beta$ parameter to positive integers which is a restriction not imposed by cosmology.

During the last five decades, gravity, as one of the fundamental forces of nature, has been formulated as a gauge theory of the Weyl-Cartan-Yang-Mills type. The present text offers commentaries on the articles from the most prominent proponents of the theory. In the early 1960s, the gauge idea was successfully applied to the Poincar\'e group of spacetime symmetries and to the related conserved energy-momentum and angular momentum currents. The resulting theory, the Poincar\'e gauge theory, encompasses Einstein's general relativity as well as the teleparallel theory of gravity as subcases. The spacetime structure is enriched by Cartan's torsion, and the new theory can accommodate fermionic matter and its spin in a perfectly natural way. This guided tour starts from special relativity and leads, in its first part, to general relativity and its gauge type extensions \`a la Weyl and Cartan. Subsequent stopping points are the theories of Yang-Mills and Utiyama and, as a particular vantage point, the theory of Sciama and Kibble. Later, the Poincar\'e gauge theory and its generalizations are explored and special topics, such as its Hamiltonian formulation and exact solutions, are studied. This guide to the literature on classical gauge theories of gravity is intended to be a stimulating introduction to the subject.

We consider the electromagnetic field occurring in the background of a static, axially symmetric vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations immersed in an external magnetic field. The solution, known as the $\gamma$ metric (or Zipoy-Voorhees), is related to the Schwarzschild spacetime through a real positive parameter $\gamma$ that describes its departure from spherical symmetry. We study the motion of charged and uncharged particles in this spacetime and particle collision in the vicinity of the singular surface and compare with the corresponding result for Schwarzschild. We show that there is a sharp contrast with the black hole case; in particular, in the prolate case ($\gamma<1$) particle collision can occur with an arbitrarily high center of mass energy. This mechanism could in principle allow one to distinguish such a source from a black hole.

The spectroscopic study of black hole quasinormal modes in gravitational-wave ringdown observations is hindered by our ignorance of which modes should dominate astrophysical signals for different binary configurations, limiting tests of general relativity and astrophysics. In this work, we present a description of the quasinormal modes that are excited in the ringdowns of comparable mass, quasi-circular precessing binary black hole coalescences -- a key region of parameter space that has yet to be fully explored within the framework of black hole spectroscopy. We suggest that the remnant perturbation for precessing and non-precessing systems is approximately the same up to a rotation, which implies that the relative amplitudes of the quasinormal modes in both systems are also related by a rotation. We present evidence for this by analyzing an extensive catalog of numerical relativity simulations. Additional structure in the amplitudes is connected to the system's kick velocity and other asymmetries in the orbital dynamics. We find that the ringdowns of precessing systems need not be dominated by the ${(\ell,m)=(2,\pm 2)}$ quasinormal modes, and that instead the $(2,\pm 1)$~or~$(2,0)$ quasinormal modes can dominate. Our results are consistent with a ringdown analysis of the LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave signal GW190521, and may also help in understanding phenomenological inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model systematics.

The notion of a rigid quasilocal frame (RQF) provides a geometrically natural way to define a system in general relativity, and a new way to analyze the problem of motion. An RQF is defined as a two-parameter family of timelike worldlines comprising the boundary (topologically R x S^2) of the history of a finite spatial volume, with the rigidity conditions that the congruence of worldlines be expansion- and shear-free. In other words, the size and shape of the system do not change. In previous work, such systems in Minkowski space were shown to admit precisely the same six degrees of freedom of rigid body motion that we are familiar with in Newtonian space-time, without any constraints, circumventing a century-old theorem due to Herglotz and Noether. This is a consequence of the fact that a two-sphere of any shape always admits precisely six conformal Killing vector fields, which generate an action of the Lorentz group on the sphere. Here we review the previous work in flat spacetime and extend it in three directions: (1) Using a Fermi normal coordinates approach, we explicitly construct, to the first few orders in powers of areal radius, the general solution to the RQF rigidity equations in a generic curved spacetime, and show that the resulting RQFs possess exactly the same six motional degrees of freedom as in flat spacetime; (2) We discuss how RQFs provide a natural context in which to understand the flow of energy, momentum and angular momentum into and out of a system; in particular, we derive a simple, exact expression for the flux of gravitational energy (a gravitational analogue of the Poynting vector) in terms of operationally-defined geometrical quantities on the boundary; (3) We use this new gravitational (or "geometrical") energy flux to resolve another apparent paradox, this one involving electromagnetism in flat spacetime, which we discovered in the course of this work.

The existence of a thermodynamic description of horizons indicates that spacetime has a microstructure. While the "fundamental" degrees of freedom remain elusive, quantizing Einstein's gravity provides some clues about their properties. A quantum AdS black hole possesses an equispaced mass spectrum, independent of Newton's constant, $G$, when its horizon radius is large compared to the AdS length. Moreover, the black hole's thermodynamics in this limit is inextricably connected with its thermodynamics in the opposite (Schwarzschild) limit by a duality of the Bose partition function. $G$, absent in the mass spectrum, reemerges in the thermodynamic description through the Schwarzschild limit, which should be viewed as a natural "ground state". It seems that the Hawking-Page phase transition separates fundamental, "particle-like" degrees of freedom from effective, "geometric" ones.

We explore the possibility of a scalar field driving ekpyrotic contraction through a non-canonical kinetic energy density rather than a negative potential. We find that this kinetically-driven ekpyrosis ("k-ekpyrosis") can be achieved in a variety of models, including scalar field theories with power-law, polynomial, or DBI-like kinetic terms in the action. Of these examples, the ekpyrotic phase is best sustained in power-law models, which can generate large and constant equation-of-state parameters, followed by DBI-like models, which can exhibit dynamical attractors toward similarly large equations of state. We show that for a broad class of theories including these examples, phases of k-ekpyrosis are accompanied by preceding or concurrent phases of superluminality.

We argue that the energy levels of an Unruh detector experience an effect similar to the Lamb shift in Quantum Electrodynamics. As a consequence, the spectrum of energy levels in a curved background is different from that in flat space. As examples, we consider a detector in an expanding Universe and in Rindler space, and for the latter case we suggest a new expression for the local virtual energy density seen by an accelerated observer. In the ultraviolet domain, that is when the space between the energy levels is larger than the Hubble rate or the acceleration of the detector, the Lamb shift quantitatively dominates over the thermal response rate.

The Einstein theory of general relativity provides a peculiar example of classical field theory ruled by non-linear partial differential equations. A number of supplementary conditions (more frequently called gauge conditions) have also been considered in the literature. In the present paper, starting from the de Donder gauge, which is not conformally invariant but is the gravitational counterpart of the Lorenz gauge, we consider, led by geometric structures on vector bundles, a new family of gauges in general relativity, which involve fifth-order covariant derivatives of metric perturbations. A review of recent results by the authors is presented: restrictions on the general form of the metric on the vector bundle of symmetric rank-two tensor fields over space-time; admissibility of such gauges in the case of linearized theory about flat Euclidean space; generalization to a suitable class of curved Riemannian backgrounds, by solving an integral equation. Eventually, the applications to Euclidean quantum gravity are discussed.

Such shells are assumed to emerge during phase transitions in the early Universe. The possible global geometries are constructed for the Friedman- Schwarzschild worlds. Approximate solutions to the equation of motion of a vacuum shell have been found. The conditions under which the end result of the evolution of the vacuum shells under consideration is the formation of black holes and wormholes with baby universes inside have been found. The interior of this world can be a closed, flat, or open Friedman universe.

We study light propagation and gravitational lensing in scalar-tensor theories of gravity by using a static, axisymmetric exterior solution. The solution has asymptotic flatness properties and is reduced to Voorhees's one in the case of a constant scalar field. Our studies are done by using a technique of the conformal transformation such that their results are independent of details of scalar-tensor theories. For some specific cases, we analytically obtain a deflection angle of the light path and find that it can become negative. The appearance of a negative deflection angle indicates ``reflection'' of a light path, and we investigate under which conditions the light reflection occurs. As for the optical scalars, the Weyl source-term shows significantly different properties compared with that in the Schwarzschild spacetime. We therefore classify a space of the model parameters into four distinct regions on the basis of the qualitative properties of the Weyl source-term and find a close relationship between this classification and the occurrence of the light reflection. We finally solve the null geodesic equations and the optical scalar equations numerically. We find that a picture of the thin lens is applicable and give a simple analytic model for the optical scalars. As for the properties of gravitational lensing, the deflection angle and the image distortion rate are obtained as functions of the impact parameter. Again, we find a close relationship between their qualitative properties and the classification above.

A characterisation of when wave tails are strong is proposed. The existence of a curvature induced tail (i.e. a Green's function term whose support includes the interior of the light-cone) is commonly understood to cause backscattering of the field governed by the relevant wave equation. Strong tails are characterised as those for which the purely radiative part of the field is backscattered. With this definition, it is shown that electromagnetic waves in asymptotically flat space-times and fields governed by tail-free propagation have weak tails, but minimally coupled scalar fields in a cosmological scenario have strong tails.

We examine the adiabatic approximation in the study of a relativistic two-body problem with the gravitational radiation reaction. We recently pointed out that the usual metric perturbation scheme using a perturbation of the stress-energy tensor may not be appropriate for study of the dissipative dynamics of the bodies due to the radiation reaction. We recently proposed a possible approach to solve this problem with a linear black hole perturbation. This paper proposes a non-linear generalization of that method for a general application of this problem. We show that, under a specific gauge condition, the method actually allows us to avoid the gauge problem.

In this review we discuss emergence of unimodular gravity (or, more precisely, Weyl transverse gravity) from thermodynamics of spacetime. By analyzing three different ways to obtain gravitational equations of motion by thermodynamic arguments, we show that the results point to unimodular rather than fully diffeomorphism invariant theories and that this is true even for modified gravity. The unimodular character of dynamics is especially evident from the status of cosmological constant and energy-momentum conservation.

We perform an observational test of no-hair theorem using quasi-periodic oscillations within the relativistic precession model. Two well motivated metrics we apply are Kerr-Q and Hartle-Thorne metrics in which the quadrupole is the parameter that possibly encodes deviations from the Kerr black hole. The expressions for the quasi-periodic frequencies are derived before comparing the models with the observation. We encounter a degeneracy in constraining spin and quadrupole parameters that makes it difficult to measure their values. In particular, we here propose a novel test of no-hair theorem by adapting the Hartle-Thorne metric. It turns out that a Kerr black hole is a good description of the central object in GRO J1655$-$40 given the present observational precisions.

We compute the spectrum of linearized gravitational excitations of black holes with substantial angular momentum in the presence of higher-derivative corrections to general relativity. We do so perturbatively to leading order in the higher-derivative couplings and up to order fourteen in the black hole angular momentum. This allows us to accurately predict quasinormal mode frequencies of black holes with spins up to about $70\%$ of the extremal value. For some higher-derivative corrections, we find that sizable rotation enhances the frequency shifts by almost an order of magnitude relative to the static case.

We present a new cosmological model that mimics the Lambda Cold Dark Matter by using a stealth field. This kind of field is characterized as not coupling directly to gravity; however, it is connected to the underlying matter content of the universe model. As is known, stealth fields do not back-react on the space-time; however, their mimicry skills show how this field and its self-interaction potential determines the cosmic evolution. We show the study of the simplest model that can be developed with the stealth field.

The evolution of the centre-of-mass wave-function for a mesoscopic particle according to the Schr\"odinger-Newton equation can be approximated by a harmonic potential, if the wave-function is narrow compared to the size of the particle. It was noticed by Colin et al. [Phys. Rev. A, 93, 062102 (2016)] that, in the regime where self-gravitational effects are weak, intermediate and wider wave-functions may be approximated by a harmonic potential as well, but with a width dependent coupling, leading to a time evolution that is determined only by a differential equation for the width of a Gaussian wave-function as a single parameter. Such an approximation results in considerably less computational effort in order to predict the self-gravitational effects on the wave-function dynamics.

To understand the effect of third order Lovelock gravity, $P-V$ criticality of topological AdS black holes in Lovelock-Born-Infeld gravity is investigated. The thermodynamics is further explored with some more extensions and details than the former literature. A detailed analysis of the limit case $\beta\rightarrow\infty$ is performed for the seven-dimensional black holes. It is shown that for the spherical topology, $P-V$ criticality exists for both the uncharged and charged cases. Our results demonstrate again that the charge is not the indispensable condition of $P-V$ criticality. It may be attributed to the effect of higher derivative terms of curvature because similar phenomenon was also found for Gauss-Bonnet black holes. For $k=0$, there would be no $P-V$ criticality. Interesting findings occur in the case $k=-1$, in which positive solutions of critical points are found for both the uncharged and charged cases. However, the $P-v$ diagram is quite strange. To check whether these findings are physical, we give the analysis on the non-negative definiteness condition of entropy. It is shown that for any nontrivial value of $\alpha$, the entropy is always positive for any specific volume $v$. Since no $P-V$ criticality exists for $k=-1$ in Einstein gravity and Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we can relate our findings with the peculiar property of third order Lovelock gravity. The entropy in third order Lovelock gravity consists of extra terms which is absent in the Gauss-Bonnet black holes, which makes the critical points satisfy the constraint of non-negative definiteness condition of entropy. We also check the Gibbs free energy graph and the "swallow tail" behavior can be observed. Moreover, the effect of nonlinear electrodynamics is also included in our research.

We study the spontaneous scalarization of spherically symmetric, static and asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (aAdS) black holes in a scalar-tensor gravity model with non-mininal coupling of the form $\phi^2\left(\alpha{\cal R} + \gamma {\cal G}\right)$, where $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are constants, while ${\cal R}$ and ${\cal G}$ are the Ricci scalar and Gauss-Bonnet term, respectively. Since these terms act as an effective ``mass'' for the scalar field, non-trivial values of the scalar field in the black hole space-time are possible for {\it a priori} vanishing scalar field mass. In particular, we demonstrate that the scalarization of an aAdS black hole requires the curvature invariant $-\left(\alpha{\cal R} + \gamma {\cal G}\right)$ to drop below the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound close to the black hole horizon, while it asymptotes to a value well above the bound. The dimension of the dual operator on the AdS boundary depends on the parameters $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ and we demonstrate that -- for fixed operator dimension -- the expectation value of this dual operator increases with decreasing temperature of the black hole, i.e. of the dual field theory. When taking backreaction of the space-time into account, we find that the scalarization of the black hole is the dual description of a phase transition in a strongly coupled quantum system, i.e. corresponds to a holographic phase transition. A possible application are liquid-gas quantum phase transitions, e.g. in $^4$He. Finally, we demonstrate that extremal black holes with $AdS_2\times S^2$ near-horizon geometry {\it cannot support regular scalar fields on the horizon} in the scalar-tensor model studied here.

Gravitational-wave signals from binary neutron star coalescences carry information about the star's equation of state in their tidal signatures. A major issue in the inference of the tidal parameters (or directly of the equation of state) is the systematic error introduced by the waveform approximants. We use a bottom-up approach based on gauge-invariant phase analysis and the Fisher information matrix to investigate waveform systematics and help identifying biases in parameter estimation. A mock analysis of 15 different binaries indicates that systematics in current waveform models dominate over statistical errors at signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ${\gtrsim} 80$. This implies biases in the inference of the reduced tidal parameter that are are larger than the statistical $90\%$ credible-intervals. For example, while the neutron-star radius could be constrained at ${\sim} 5\%$ level at SNR 80, systematics can be at the ${\sim} 10\%$ level. We apply our approach to GW170817 (SNR ${\sim}30$) and confirm that no significant systematic effects are present. Using an optimal frequency range for the analysis, we estimate a neutron-star radius of $12.5^{+1.1}_{-1.8}\,$km. The latter is consistent with an electromagnetic-informed prior and the recent NICER measurement. Exploring SNR ${\gtrsim}100$ in view of third-generation detectors, we find that all the current waveform models lead to differences of at least 1-sigma in the inference of the reduced tidal parameter (for any value of the latter). We conclude that current waveform models, including those from numerical relativity, are insufficient to infer the equation of state in the loudest (and potentially most informative) events that will be observed by advanced and third generation detectors.

We show that the simplicity constraints, which define the dynamics of spin foam models, imply, and are implied by, the first law of thermodynamics, when the latter is applied to causal diamonds in the quantum spacetime. This result reveals an intimate connection between the holographic nature of gravity, as reflected by the Bekenstein entropy, and the fact that general relativity and other gravitational theories can be understood as constrained topological field theories. To state and derive this correspondence we describe causal diamonds in the causal structure of spin foam histories and generalize arguments given for the near horizon region of black holes by Frodden, Gosh and Perez and Bianchi. This allows us to apply a recent argument of Jacobson to show that if a spin foam history has a semiclassical limit described in terms of a smooth metric geometry, that geometry satisfies the Einstein equations. These results suggest also a proposal for a quantum equivalence principle.

In this paper using the third-order WKB approximation, a numerical method devised by Schutz, Will and Iyer, we investigate the quasinormal frequencies of the scalar field in the background of five-dimensional Lovelock black hole. We find that the ultraviolet correction to Einstein theory in the Lovelock theory makes the scalar field decay more slowly and makes the scalar field oscillate more quickly, and the cosmological constant makes the scalar field decay more slowly and makes the scalar field oscillate more slowly in Lovelock black hole backgroud. On the other hand we also find that quasinormal frequencies depend very weakly on the angular quantum number $l$.

We give an explicit construction of a positive-definite invariant inner-product for the Klein-Gordon fields, thus solving the old problem of the probability interpretation of Klein-Gordon fields without having to restrict to the subspaces of the positive-frequency solutions. Our method has a much wider domain of application and may be used to obtain the most general invariant inner-product on the solution space of a broad class of Klein-Gordon type evolution equations. We explore its consequences for the solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation associated with the FRW-massive-real-scalar-field models.

Gravitational waves in cylindrically symmetric Einstein gravity are described by an effective energy tensor with the same form as that of a massless Klein- Gordon field, in terms of a gravitational potential generalizing the Newtonian potential. Energy-momentum vectors for the gravitational waves and matter are defined with respect to a canonical flow of time. The combined energy-momentum is covariantly conserved, the corresponding charge being the modified Thorne energy. Energy conservation is formulated as the first law expressing the gradient of the energy as work and energy-supply terms, including the energy flux of the gravitational waves. Projecting this equation along a trapping horizon yields a first law of black-hole dynamics containing the expected term involving area and surface gravity, where the dynamic surface gravity is defined with respect to the canonical flow of time. A first law for dynamic cosmic strings also follows. The Einstein equation is written as three wave equations plus the first law, each with sources determined by the combined energy tensor of the matter and gravitational waves.

We compare the experimental results with theoretical estimates of the cancellation efficiency. Using data from the recent LIGO Science Run, we also estimate the impact of this technique on full scale gravitational wave interferometers. In the future, we expect to use this technique to also remove acoustic, magnetic, and gravitational noise perturbations from the LIGO interferometers. This noise cancellation technique is simple enough to implement in standard laboratory environments and can be used to improve SNR for a variety of high precision experiments.

Cosmological models with an inhomogeneous viscous dark fluid, coupled with dark matter in the Friedmann- Robertson-Walker (FRW) flat universe, are considered. The influence of thermal effects caused by Hawking radiation on the visible horizon is studied, in connection with the classified type I and type III singularities which are known to occur within a finite amount of time. Allowance of thermal effects implies that a transition to a type II singularity can take place, in a finite time. We take into account a bulk viscosity of the dark fluid, observing the equation of state in the case of radiation, and find that there is a qualitative change in the singular universe of type I: it may pass into a singularity of type III, or it may avoid the singularity at all.

We apply the Noether symmetries to constrain the unknown functions of chameleon gravity in the cosmological scenario of a spatially flat Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker space-time with an ideal gas. For this gravitational model the field equations admit a point-like Lagrangian with as unknown functions the scalar field potential and the coupling function which is responsible for the chameleon mechanism. Noether's first theorem provides us with four sets of closed-form functional forms for which variational symmetries exist. We construct the corresponding conservation laws and we use them in order to determine new analytic solutions in chameleon gravity. From the analysis of the physical properties of the new solution it follows that in the late universe they can reproduce the $\Lambda$CDM model without having to assume the presence of a pressureless fluid in the cosmological fluid.

For ordinary black holes, a surrounding particle inevitably penetrates into the interior of the hole since the center of the hole is an infinite potential well. For the first time we demonstrate that an extreme dilatonic black hole in spherical symmetry perfectly behaves as an atom, in the sense that its surrounding cloud of particles are completely stable. Thus we reach a spherical cloud of dilatonic black hole. We find exact wave functions of the cloud for arbitrary gravitational fine structure constant $\mu M$, and clear the underlying physical nature of the stability. Through careful studies of the exact wave function, we find the spectrum of this system. We discuss the physical meaning of this discovery especially from considerations of entropy, and the resultant possibility to explore quantization of gravitational waves from coming observations.

Classical equivalence between Jordan's and Einstein's frame counterparts of F(R) theory of gravity has recently been questioned, since the two produce different Noether symmetries, which couldn't be translated back and forth using transformation relations. Here we add the Hamiltonian constraint equation, which is essentially the time-time component of Einstein's equation, through a Lagrange multiplier to the existence condition for Noether symmetry to show that all the three different canonical structures of F(R) theory of gravity, including the one which follows from Lagrange multiplier technique, admit each and every available symmetry independently. This establishes classical equivalence amongst all the three.
