The evolution of global binary black holes variables such as energy or linear momentum are mainly obtained by applying numerical methods near coalescence, post-Newtonian (PN) expansions, or a combination of both. In this paper, we use a fully relativistic formalism presented several years ago that only uses global variables defined at null infinity together with the gravitational radiation emitted by the source to obtain the time evolution of such variables for binary black holes (BBH) systems. For that, we use the Rochester catalog composed of 776 BBHs simulations. We compute the final velocity, radiated energy, and intrinsic angular momentum predicted by the dynamical equations in this formalism for nonspinning, aligned and antialigned spins, and several different precessing configurations. We compare obtained values with reported values in numerical simulations. As BBHs parameter space is still not completely covered by numerical simulations, we fit phenomenological formulas for practical applications to the radiated energy and final velocities obtained. Also, we compare the fits with reported values. In conclusion, we see that our formulae and correlations for the variables described in this work are consistent with those found in the general literature.

We develop a symmetric teleparallel gravity model in a space-time with only the non-metricity is nonzero, in terms of a Lagrangian quadratic in the non-metricity tensor. We present a detailed discussion of the variations that may be used for any gravitational formulation. We seek Schwarzschild-type solutions because of its observational significance and obtain a class of solutions that includes Schwarzschild-type, Schwarzschild-de Sitter-type and Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m-type solutions for certain values of the parameters. We also discuss the physical relevance of these solutions.

We study the process of fully nonlinear dynamical scalarization starting from a charged black hole or a naked singularity in asymptotically flat spacetime in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. Initially the dilaton field is negligible compared to the gravitational and the Maxwell field. Then the dilaton field experiences an immediate growth, later it oscillates with damping amplitude and finally settles down to a finite value. For a hairy black hole develops from an original Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole, since the dilaton oscillation and decay are almost independent of the coupling parameter, unlike the Anti-de Sitter spacetime it is not easy to distinguish the resulting hairy black hole from the original asymptotically flat charged hole. For a hairy black hole evolves from an original naked singularity, the resulting hairy black hole has rich structures. In the scalarization process, the naked singularity is soon enveloped by one outer horizon, then another horizon is developed and in the end a stable hairy black hole forms and two horizons degenerate into one to protect the singularity. The hairy black hole mass saturates exponentially in the scalarization.

The invariance under unitary representations of the conformal group SL(2,R) of a quantum particle is rigorously investigated in two-dimensional spacetimes containing Killing horizons using DFF model. The limit of the near-horizon approximation is considered. If the Killing horizon is bifurcate the conformal symmetry is hidden, i.e. it does not arise from geometrical spacetime isometries, but the whole Hilbert space turns out to be an irreducible unitary representation of SL(2,R) and the time evolution is embodied in the unitary representation. In this case the symmetry does not depend on the mass of the particle and, if the representation is faithful, the conformal observable K shows thermal properties. If the Killing horizon is nonbifurcate the conformal symmetry is manifest, i.e. it arises from geometrical spacetime isometries. The SL(2,R) representation which arises from the geometry selects a hidden conformal representation. Also in that case the Hilbert space is an irreducible representation of SL(2,R) and the group conformal symmetries embodies the time evolution with respect to the local Killing time. However no thermal properties are involved. The conformal observable K gives rise to Killing time evolution of the quantum state with respect to another global Killing time present in the manifold. Mathematical proofs about the developed machinery are supplied and features of the operator H_g = -({d^2}/{dx^2})+ ({g}/{x^2}), with g=-1/4 are discussed. It is proven that a statement, used in the recent literature, about the spectrum of self-adjoint extensions of H_g is incorrect.

The general relativistic notion of gravitational and inertial mass is discussed from the general viewpoint of the tidal forces implicit in the curvature and the Einstein field equations within ponderable matter. A simple yet rigorously general derivation is given for the Tolman gravitational mass viewpoint wherein the computation of gravitational mass requires both a rest energy contribution (the inertial mass) and a pressure contribution. The pressure contribution is extremely small under normal conditions which implies the equality of gravitational and inertial mass to a high degree of accuracy. However, the pressure contribution is substantial for conformal symmetric systems such as Maxwell radiation, whose constituent photons are massless. Implications of the Tolman mass for standard cosmology and standard high energy particle physics models are briefly explored.

Starting from the most general action in Einstein-Dilaton-Nonlinear Electrodynamics (NED) theory, we obtain the field equations. We apply the field equations for the specific NED known as the Liouville type plus a cosmological constant and solve the field equations. With a pure magnetic field it is shown that the square root model is the strong field limit of the Born-Infeld NED theory. In static spherically symmetric spacetime and a magnetic monopole sitting at the origin, the field equations are exactly solvable provided the intergation constants of the solution and the theory constants appearing in the action are linked through two constraints. As it is known such an exact solution in the absence of dilaton i.e., gravity coupled to square root NED doesn't exist. Therefore, the presence of the dilaton gives additional freedom to solve the field equations. The obtained spacetime is singular and non-asymptotically flat and depending on the free parameters it may be a black hole or a cosmological object. For the black hole spacetime, we study the thermal stability of the spacetime and show that the black hole is thermally stable provided its size is larger than a critical value.

We formulate conditions on the geometry of a non-expanding horizon $\Delta$ which are sufficient for the space-time metric to coincide on $\Delta$ with the Kerr metric. We introduce an invariant which can be used as a measure of how different the geometry of a given non-expanding horizon is from the geometry of the Kerr horizon. Directly, our results concern the space-time metric at $\IH$ at the zeroth and the first orders. Combained with the results of Ashtekar, Beetle and Lewandowski, our conditions can be used to compare the space-time geometry at the non-expanding horizon with that of Kerr to every order. The results should be useful to numerical relativity in analyzing the sense in which the final black hole horizon produced by a collapse or a merger approaches the Kerr horizon.

The energy-momentum tensor of the Li\'enard-Wiechert field is split into bound and emitted parts in the Rindler frame, by generalizing the reasoning of Teitelboim applied in the inertial frame. Our analysis proceeds by invoking the concept of ``energy'' defined with respect to the Killing vector field attached to the frame. We obtain the radiation formula in the Rindler frame (the Rindler version of the Larmor formula), and it is found that the radiation power is proportional to the square of acceleration $\alpha^\mu$ of the charge relative to the Rindler frame. This result leads us to split the Li\'enard-Wiechert field into a part II', which is linear in $\alpha^\mu$, and a part I', which is independent of $\alpha^\mu$. By using these, we split the energy-momentum tensor into two parts. We find that these are properly interpreted as the emitted and bound parts of the tensor in the Rindler frame. In our identification of radiation, a charge radiates neither in the case that the charge is fixed in the Rindler frame, nor in the case that the charge satisfies the equation $\alpha^\mu=0$. We then investigate this equation. We consider four gedanken experiments related to the observer dependence of the concept of radiation.

We perform extensive nonlinear numerical simulations of the spherical collapse of (charged) wavepackets onto a charged black hole within Einstein-Maxwell theory and in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory featuring nonminimal couplings and a spontaneous scalarization mechanism. We confirm that black holes in full-fledged Einstein-Maxwell theory cannot be overcharged past extremality and no naked singularities form, in agreement with the cosmic censorship conjecture. We show that naked singularities do not form even in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory, although it is possible to form scalarized black holes with charge above the Reissner-Nordstr\"om bound. We argue that charge and mass extraction due to superradiance at fully nonlinear level is crucial to bound the charge-to-mass ratio of the final black hole below extremality. We also discuss some "descalarization" mechanisms for scalarized black holes induced either by superradiance or by absorption of an opposite-charged wavepacket; in all cases the final state after descalarization is a subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole.

The equivalence between $f(R)$ and scalar-tensor theories is revisited, we consequently explored different $f(R)$ models. After consideration of specific definition of the scalar field, we derived the potentials $V(\phi)$ for each $f(R)$ model focusing on the early Universe, mostly the inflation epoch. For a given potential, we applied the slow-roll approximation approach to each $f(R)$ model and obtained the expressions for the spectral index $n_{s}$ and tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We determined the corresponding numerical values associated with each of the $f(R)$ models. Our results showed that for certain choice of parameter space, the values of $n_{s}$ and $r$ are consistent with the Planck survey results and others produce numerical values that are in the same range as suggested by Planck data. We further constructed the Klein-Gordon equations $(KGE)$ of each $f(R)$ model. We found numerical solutions to each KGE considering different values of free parameters and initial conditions of each $f(R)$ model. All models showed that the scalar field decreases as time increases, an indication that there is less content of the scalar field in the late Universe.

We outline a proof of the stability of a massless neutral scalar field $\psi$ in the background of a wide class of four dimensional asymptotically flat rotating and ``electrically charged'' solutions of supergravity, and the low energy limit of string theory, known as STU metrics. Despite their complexity, we find it possible to circumvent the difficulties presented by the existence of ergo-regions and the related phenomenon of super-radiance in the original metrics by following a strategy due to Whiting, and passing to an auxiliary metric admitting an everywhere lightlike Killing field and constructing a scalar field $\Psi$ (related to a possible unstable mode $\psi$ by a non-local transformation) which satisfies the massless wave equation with respect to the auxiliary metric. By contrast with the case for $\psi$, the associated energy density of $\Psi$ is not only conserved but is also non-negative.

We outline a proof of the stability of a massless neutral scalar field $\psi$ in the background of a wide class of four dimensional asymptotically flat rotating and ``electrically charged'' solutions of supergravity, and the low energy limit of string theory, known as STU metrics. Despite their complexity, we find it possible to circumvent the difficulties presented by the existence of ergo-regions and the related phenomenon of super-radiance in the original metrics by following a strategy due to Whiting, and passing to an auxiliary metric admitting an everywhere lightlike Killing field and constructing a scalar field $\Psi$ (related to a possible unstable mode $\psi$ by a non-local transformation) which satisfies the massless wave equation with respect to the auxiliary metric. By contrast with the case for $\psi$, the associated energy density of $\Psi$ is not only conserved but is also non-negative.

We investigate the radial perturbations of Ellis-Bronnikov wormholes ($\mathrm{l}=0$) in a slowly rotating background expanded up to second order in rotation. We find indications that simple wormhole solutions such as Ellis-Bronnikov in General Relativity can be stabilized by rotation, thus favoring a viable traversable wormhole. This opens up the intriguing question whether the many other wormhole solutions with or without the support of exotic matter can become linearly mode stable when the wormhole rotates.

Solitonic boson stars are stable objects made of a complex scalar field with a compactness that can reach values comparable to that of neutron stars. A recent study of the collision of identical boson stars produced only non-rotating boson stars or black holes, suggesting that rotating boson stars may not form from binary mergers. Here we extend this study to include an analysis of the gravitational waves radiated during the coalescence of such a binary, which is crucial to distinguish these events from other binaries with LIGO and Virgo observations. Our studies reveal that the remnant's gravitational wave signature is mainly governed by its fundamental frequency as it settles down to a non-rotating boson star, emitting significant gravitational radiation during this post-merger state. We calculate how the waveforms and their post-merger frequencies depend on the compactness of the initial boson stars and estimate analytically the amount of energy radiated after the merger.

The initial value problem is introduced after a thorough review of the essential geometry. The initial value equations are put into elliptic form using both conformal transformations and a treatment of the extrinsic curvature introduced recently. This use of the metric and the extrinsic curvature is manifestly equivalent to the author's conformal thin sandwich formulation. Therefore, the reformulation of the constraints as an elliptic system by use of conformal techniques is complete.

We calculate the energy distribution of a dyonic dilaton black hole by using the Tolman's energy-momentum complex. All the calculations are performed in quasi-Cartesian coordinates. The energy distribution of the dyonic dilaton black hole depends on the mass, electric charge, magnetic charge and asymptotic value of the dilaton. We get the same result as obtained by Y-Ching Yang, Ching-Tzung Yeh, Rue-Ron Hsu and Chin-Rong Lee by using the Einstein's prescription.

The accurate sky localization of gravitational wave (GW) sources is an important scientific goal for space-based GW detectors. Due to the effects of gravity on three spacecrafts, it is hard to maintain the equality of the arm length, so the time-delay interferometry (TDI) method is needed to cancel out the laser frequency noise for space-based GW detectors. By considering the first-generation TDI combination, we employ the Fisher information matrix to study the accuracy of sky localizations for future space-based GW detectors and their combined network. The main difference between future space-based GW detectors includes the time-changing orientation of the detector plane, the arm length, the orbital period of spacecrafts and the noise curve. We study the effects of these factors on the accuracy of source localization at different frequencies. We find that the amplitude modulation caused by the rotation of the detector plane can help LISA and Taiji not only to improve the accuracy of source localization but also to enlarge the sky coverage at frequencies below 1 mHz. As the frequency of monochromatic GWs increases, the Doppler modulation becomes dominate and the equatorial pattern appears in the sky map. The effect of arm length on the angular resolution mainly comes from the noise curve and it is almost the same for both heliocentric and geocentric constellations. The orbital period of the spacecrafts has little effect on the angular resolutions. The improvement on the angular resolutions by the network of combined detectors is small compared with a single detector and the angular resolutions are almost the same with and without the TDI combination.

We consider 3-dimensional Euclidean gravity in the weak coupling limit of Smolin and show that it is BF-theory with $\text{U(1)}^3$ as a Lie group. The theory is quantised using loop quantum gravity methods. The kinematical degrees of freedom are truncated, on account of computational feasibility, by fixing a graph and deforming the algebra of the holonomies to impose a cutoff on the charge vectors. This leads to a quantum theory related to $\text{U}_q \text{(1)}^3$ BF-theory. The effect of imposing the cutoff on the charges is examined. We also implement the quantum volume operator of 3d loop quantum gravity. Most importantly we compare two constraints for the quantum model obtained: a master constraint enforcing curvature and Gauss constraint, as well as a combination of a quantum Hamilton constraint constructed using Thiemann's strategy and the Gauss master constraint. The two constraints are solved using the neural network quantum state ansatz, demonstrating its ability to explore models which are out of reach for exact numerical methods. The solutions spaces are quantitatively compared and although the forms of the constraints are radically different, the solutions turn out to have a surprisingly large overlap. We also investigate the behavior of the quantum volume in solutions to the constraints.

We consider the quantization of a massless scalar field, using the geometric optics approximation, in the background spacetime of a collapsing spherical self-similar Vaidya star, which forms a black hole or a naked singularity. We show that the outgoing radiation flux of the quantized scalar field diverges on the Cauchy horizon. The spectrum of the produced scalar partcles is non-thermal when the background develops a naked singularity. These results are analogous to those obtained for the scalar quantization on a self-similar dust cloud.

The choice of the area operator in loop quantum gravity is by no means unique. In addition to the area operator commonly used in loop quantum gravity there is also an area operator introduced by Krasnov in 1998, which gives uniformly spaced area spectra for the horizons of spacetime. Using Krasnov's area operator we consider the thermodynamics of spherically symmetric spacetimes equipped with horizons in loop quantum gravity. Among other things, our approach implies, in a pretty simple manner, that every horizon of spacetime emits thermal radiation and possesses emtropy which, in the natural units, is one-quarter of its area. When applied to the de Sitter spacetime loop quantum gravity provides an explanation both to the presence and the smallness of the cosmological constant.

The formulation of Weak Isolated Horizons (WIH) based on the Isolated Horizon formulation of black hole horizons is reconsidered. The first part of the paper deals with the derivation of laws of mechanics of a WIH. While the zeroth law follows from the WIH boundary conditions, first law depends on the action chosen. We construct the covariant phase space for a spacetime having an WIH as inner boundary for the Holst action. This requires the introduction of new potential functions so that the symplectic structure is foliation independent. We show that a precise cancellation among various terms leads to the usual first law for WIH. Subsequently, we show from the same covariant phase space that for spherical horizons, the topological theory on the inner boundary is a U(1) Chern-Simons theory.

We construct condensate states encoding the continuum spherically symmetric quantum geometry of an horizon in full quantum gravity, i.e. without any classical symmetry reduction, in the group field theory formalism. Tracing over the bulk degrees of freedom, we show how the resulting reduced density matrix manifestly exhibits an holographic behavior. We derive a complete orthonormal basis of eigenstates for the reduced density matrix of the horizon and use it to compute the horizon entanglement entropy. By imposing consistency with the horizon boundary conditions and semiclassical thermodynamical properties, we recover the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy formula for any value of the Immirzi parameter. Our analysis supports the equivalence between the von Neumann (entanglement) entropy interpretation and the Boltzmann (statistical) one.

We try to give hereafter an answer to some open questions about the definition of conserved quantities in Chern-Simons theory, with particular reference to Chern-Simons AdS_3 Gravity. Our attention is focused on the problem of global covariance and gauge invariance of the variation of Noether charges. A theory which satisfies the principle of covariance on each step of its construction is developed, starting from a gauge invariant Chern-Simons Lagrangian and using a recipe developed in gr-qc/0110104 and gr-qc/0107074 to calculate the variation of conserved quantities. The problem to give a mathematical well-defined expression for the infinitesimal generators of symmetries is pointed out and it is shown that the generalized Kosmann lift of spacetime vector fields leads to the expected numerical values for the conserved quantities when the solution corresponds to the BTZ black hole. The fist law of black holes mechanics for the BTZ solution is then proved and the transition between the variation of conserved quantities in Chern-Simons AdS_3 Gravity theory and the variation of conserved quantities in General Relativity is analysed in detail.

Asymptotic behaviour of gravitational and electromagnetic fields of exact type D solutions from the large Plebanski-Demianski family of black hole spacetimes is analyzed. The amplitude and directional structure of radiation is evaluated in cases when the cosmological constant is non-vanishing, so that the conformal infinities have either de Sitter-like or anti-de Sitter-like character. In particular, explicit relations between the parameters that characterize the sources (that is their mass, electric and magnetic charges, NUT parameter, rotational parameter, and acceleration) and properties of the radiation generated by them are presented. The results further elucidate the physical interpretation of these solutions and may help to understand radiative characteristics of more general spacetimes than those that are asymptotically flat.

The results further elucidate the physical interpretation of these solutions and may help to understand radiative characteristics of more general spacetimes than those that are asymptotically flat.

In this paper, we study a big bounce universe typified by a non-singular big bounce, as opposed to a singular big bang. This cosmological model can describe radiation dominated early universe and matter dominated late universe in FRW model. The connections between thermodynamics and gravity are observed here. In the early stage of both cold and hot universes, we find there is only one geometry containing a 4D de Sitter universe with a general state parameter. We also find the form of the apparent horizon in the early universe strongly depends on the extra dimension, which suggests that the influence of the extra dimension could in principle be found in the early universe. Moreover, we show that in the late stages of both cold and hot universes, the moment when the apparent horizon begins to bounce keeps essentially in step with the behavior of the cosmological scalar factor.

We investigate the linearized form of metric f(R)-gravity, assuming that f(R) is analytic about R = 0 so it may be expanded as f(R) = R + a_2 R^2/2 + ... . Gravitational radiation is modified, admitting an extra mode of oscillation, that of the Ricci scalar. We derive an effective energy-momentum tensor for the radiation. We also present weak-field metrics for simple sources. These are distinct from the equivalent Kerr (or Schwarzschild) forms. We apply the metrics to tests that could constrain f(R). We show that light deflection experiments cannot distinguish f(R)-gravity from general relativity as both have an effective post-Newtonian parameter \gamma = 1. We find that planetary precession rates are enhanced relative to general relativity; from the orbit of Mercury we derive the bound |a_2| < 1.2 \times 10^18 m^2. Gravitational wave astronomy may be more useful: considering the phase of a gravitational waveform we estimate deviations from general relativity could be measurable for an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral about a 10^6 M_sol black hole if |a_2| > 10^17 m^2, assuming that the weak-field metric of the black hole coincides with that of a point mass. However Eot-Wash experiments provide the strictest bound |a_2| < 2 \times 10^-9 m^2. Although the astronomical bounds are weaker, they are still of interest in the case that the effective form of f(R) is modified in different regions, perhaps through the chameleon mechanism. Assuming the laboratory bound is universal, we conclude that the propagating Ricci scalar mode cannot be excited by astrophysical sources.

Detection and parameter inference of gravitational-wave signals \ncor{from compact mergers} rely on the comparison of the incoming detector strain data $d(t)$ to waveform templates for the gravitational-wave strain $h(t)$ that ultimately rely on the resolution of Einstein's equations via numerical relativity simulations. These, however, commonly output a quantity known as the Newman-Penrose scalar $\psi_4(t)$ which, under the Bondi gauge, is related to the gravitational-wave strain by $\psi_4(t)=\mathrm{d}^2h(t) / \mathrm{d}t^2$. Therefore, obtaining strain templates involves an integration process that introduces artefacts that need to be treated in a rather manual way. By taking second-order finite differences on the detector data and inferring the corresponding background noise distribution, we develop a framework to perform gravitational-wave data analysis directly using $\psi_4(t)$ templates. We first demonstrate this formalism, and the impact of integration artefacts in strain templates, through the recovery of numerically simulated signals from head-on collisions of Proca stars injected in Advanced LIGO noise. Next, we re-analyse the event GW190521 under the hypothesis of a Proca-star merger, obtaining results equivalent to those in Ref.[1], where we used the classical strain framework. We find, however, that integration errors would strongly impact our analysis if GW190521 was four times louder. Finally, we show that our framework fixes significant biases in the interpretation of the high-mass GW trigger S200114f arising from the usage of strain templates. We remove the need to obtain strain waveforms from numerical relativity simulations, avoiding the associated systematic errors.

Black holes are an ubiquitous end state of stellar evolution and successfully explain some of the most extreme physics encountered in astronomical observations. The Kerr geometry is the known exact solution to Einstein's equations for a static, eternal black hole within the framework of general relativity, and hence is of great importance in relativistic astrophysics. An understanding of the orbital dynamics of test bodies and light rays in the Kerr spacetime is therefore fundamental to the physics of a black hole. In this work, the scattering and capturing properties of unbound, "hyperbolic" orbits in the spacetime are studied. In particular, the differential scattering cross section and capture cross section are derived over the parameter space of energies, impact parameters and black hole spin orientation and magnitude. The problem is then generalized to the motion of two massive objects on a hyperbolic encounter, and the added effects of gravitational radiation and finite mass ratio studied within the post-Newtonian formalism.

For stationary vacuum spacetimes the Bianchi identities of the second kind equate the Simon tensor to the Simon-Mars tensor, the latter having a clear geometrical interpretation. The equivalence of these two tensors is broken in the nonvacuum case by additional source energy-momentum terms, but absorbing these source terms into a redefinition of the Simon tensor restores the equality. Explicit examples are discussed for electrovacuum and rigidly rotating matter fields.

We study an exact solution of Einstein's equations describing a self-gravitating system, made of dust, distributed with axial symmetry and in stationary rotation, and we prove that this type of system has no Newtonian analogue. In a low-energy limit, its existence depends on the solution of a Grad-Shafranov equation in vacuum which can be interpreted as a Laplace equation for the toroidal component of the gravitomagnetic potential; in particular, in this system the relativistic rotational effects are of the order of magnitude of Newtonian ones. We therefore argue that this exact solution should contain singularities and discuss the possible consequences of using such a system as simplified models for galactic dynamics.

Sign and magnitude of Ruppeiner's curvature $R_N$ is an empirical indicator of the respective nature and strength of microstructures of a thermodynamic system. For d-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes in AdS, $R_N$ at the Hawking-Page (HP) transition point is a universal constant. In this article we study the nature of $R_N$ at HP transition in a massive gravity theory and show that its constancy is broken due to the dependence on graviton mass as well as horizon topology. Although, when the graviton mass reaches a critical value the HP transition is driven to zero temperature, and $R_N$ at this point again approaches a universal negative constant, independent of all parameters of the theory. The geometry of black holes in AdS close to the HP transition point is also studied via novel near horizon scaling limits, and reveals the emergence of fully decoupled Rindler spacetimes.

We extend previous work on 3D black hole excision to the case of distorted black holes, with a variety of dynamic gauge conditions that are able to respond naturally to the spacetime dynamics. We show that the combination of excision and gauge conditions we use is able to drive highly distorted, rotating black holes to an almost static state at late times, with well behaved metric functions, without the need for any special initial conditions or analytically prescribed gauge functions. Further, we show for the first time that one can extract accurate waveforms from these simulations, with the full machinery of excision and dynamic gauge conditions. The evolutions can be carried out for long times, far exceeding the longevity and accuracy of even better resolved 2D codes. While traditional 2D codes show errors in quantities such as apparent horizon mass of over 100% by t = 100M, and crash by t = 150M, with our new techniques the same systems can be evolved for hundreds of M's in full 3D with errors of only a few percent.

A class of spacetimes (comprising the Alcubierre bubble, Krasnikov tube, and a certain type of wormholes) is considered that admits `superluminal travel' in a strictly defined sense. Such spacetimes (they are called `shortcuts' in this paper) were suspected to be impossible because calculations based on `quantum inequalities' suggest that their existence would involve Planck-scale energy densities and hence unphysically large values of the `total amount of negative energy' E_tot. I argue that the spacetimes of this type may not be unphysical at all. By explicit examples I prove that: 1) the relevant quantum inequality does not (always) imply large energy densities; 2) large densities may not lead to large values of E_tot; 3) large E_tot, being physically meaningless in some relevant situations, does not necessarily exclude shortcuts.

In this review, various researches on finding the bending angle of light deflected by a massive gravitating object which regard the Gauss-Bonnet theorem as the premise have been revised. Primarily, the Gibbons and Werner method is studied apropos of the gravitational lensing phenomenon in the weak field limits. Some exclusive instances are deliberated while calculating the deflection angle, beginning with the finite-distance corrections on non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. Effects of plasma medium is then inspected to observe its contribution to the deflection angle. Finally, the Jacobi metric is explored as an alternative method, only to arrive at similar results. All of the cases are probed in three constructs, one as a generic statement of explanation, one for black holes, and one for wormholes, so as to gain a perspective on every kind of influence.

In this review, various researches on finding the bending angle of light deflected by a massive gravitating object which regard the Gauss-Bonnet theorem as the premise have been revised. Primarily, the Gibbons and Werner method is studied apropos of the gravitational lensing phenomenon in the weak field limits. Some exclusive instances are deliberated while calculating the deflection angle, beginning with the finite-distance corrections on non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. Effects of plasma medium is then inspected to observe its contribution to the deflection angle. Finally, the Jacobi metric is explored as an alternative method, only to arrive at similar results. All of the cases are probed in three constructs, one as a generic statement of explanation, one for black holes, and one for wormholes, so as to gain a perspective on every kind of influence.

We consider the inspiral of black holes carrying U(1) charge that is not electromagnetic, but corresponds to some dark sector. In the weak-field, low-velocity regime, the components follow Keplerian orbits. We investigate how the orbital parameters evolve for dipole-dominated emission and find that the orbit quickly circularises, though not as efficiently as for a gravitationally dominated emission. We then regard circular orbits, and look for modifications in the gravitational waveform from the components carrying small charges. Taking this into account we populate the waveform with simplified LIGO noise and put it through a matched filtering procedure where the template bank only consists of uncharged templates, focusing on the charges' effect on the chirp mass estimation. We find a consistent overestimation of the `generalised' chirp mass, and a possible over- and underestimation of the actual chirp mass. Finally, we briefly consider the effect of such charges on hyperbolic encounters, finding again a bias arising from interpreting the generalised chirp mass as the actual chirp mass.

Building on an insight due to Avramidi, we provide a system of transport equations for determining key fundamental bi-tensors, including derivatives of the world-function, \sigma(x,x'), the square root of the Van Vleck determinant, \Delta^{1/2}(x,x'), and the tail-term, V(x,x'), appearing in the Hadamard form of the Green function. These bi-tensors are central to a broad range of problems from radiation reaction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime and quantum gravity. Their transport equations may be used either in a semi-recursive approach to determining their covariant Taylor series expansions, or as the basis of numerical calculations. To illustrate the power of the semi-recursive approach, we present an implementation in \textsl{Mathematica} which computes very high order covariant series expansions of these objects. Using this code, a moderate laptop can, for example, calculate the coincidence limit a_7(x,x) and V(x,x') to order (\sigma^a)^{20} in a matter of minutes. Results may be output in either a compact notation or in xTensor form. In a second application of the approach, we present a scheme for numerically integrating the transport equations as a system of coupled ordinary differential equations. As an example application of the scheme, we integrate along null geodesics to solve for V(x,x') in Nariai and Schwarzschild spacetimes.

For many years now it has become conventional for theorists to argue that "space-time is doomed", with the difficulties in finding a quantum theory of gravity implying the necessity of basing a fundamental theory on something quite different than usual notions of space-time geometry. But what is this space-time geometry that is doomed? In this essay we'll explore how our understanding of four-dimensional geometry has evolved since Einstein, leading to new ideas about such geometry which may not be doomed at all.

Polymer quantization is a non-standard representation of the quantum mechanics that inspired by loop quantum gravity. To study the associated statistical mechanics, one needs to find microstates' energies which are eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian operator in the polymer framework. But, this is not an easy task at all since the Hamiltonian takes a nonlinear form in polymer picture. In this paper, we introduce a semiclassical method in which it is not necessary to solve the eigenvalue problem. Instead, we work with the classical Hamiltonian function and the deformed density of states in the polymeric phase space. Implementing this method, we obtain the canonical partition function for the polymerized systems and we show that our results are in good agreement with those arising from full quantum considerations. Using the partition function, we study the thermodynamics of quantum Schwarzschild black hole and we obtain corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy due to loop quantum gravity effects.

Some of the novel properties that emerge are: partial masslessness and new local gauge invariances, unitarily forbidden ranges of mass, correlation between fermions/bosons and nagative/positive cosmological constant Lambda and finally the consistency requirement that in the limit of infinite spin towers, Lambda must tend to zero.

We begin by describing a sequential growth model in which the universe grows one element at a time in discrete time steps. At each step, the process has the form of a causal set and the "completed" universe is given by a path consisting of a discretely growing chain of causal sets. We then introduce a quantum dynamics to obtain a quantum sequential growth process (QSGP) which may lead to a viable model for discrete quantum gravity. A discrete version of Einstein's field equation is derived and a definition for discrete geodesics is proposed. A type of QSGP called an amplitude process is introduced. An example of an amplitude process called a complex percolation process is studied. This process conforms with general principles of causality and covariance. We end with some detailed quantum measure calculations for a specific percolation constant.

The evidence for an accelerating Hubble expansion appears to have confirmed the heuristic prediction, from causal set theory, of a fluctuating and ``ever-present'' cosmological term in the Einstein equations. A more concrete phenomenological model incorporating this prediction has been devised and tested, but it remains incomplete. I will review these developments and also mention a possible consequence for the dimensionality of spacetime.

We consider $f(R)$ modified gravity with the chameleon mechanism as an alternative approach to address the dark matter issue on the galactic scale. Metric formalism of $f(R)$ theory is considered in this study. A mathematical transformation tool called conformal transformation which transforms the action from Jordan to Einstein frame is employed to simplify the fourth-order modified field equation and to describe the extra degree of freedom $f_R$ by using a minimally coupled scalar field (scalaron) showing the chameleonic character. Then, we examine the viability of a newly introduced $f(R)$ gravity model on behalf of the chameleonic behavior of the scalaron. The model analyzes this behavior of the scalaron successfully with the singularity correction. Further, we consider a test particle (star) in a static, spherically symmetric spacetime to investigate the importance of the scalaron in galactic dynamics. In the non-relativistic limit, the rotational velocity equation for the particle with scalaron contribution is derived. This contribution is found to be model dependent. We generate the rotation curves using the velocity equation and fit the predicted curves to observational data of a set of thirty seven sample galaxies of different categories. The curves are fitted based on two fitting parameters $M_0$ and $r_c$. The fitting shows good agreement of the prediction with the observed data.

The effects of the magnetic monopole charge, the quintessence state parameter, and the quintessence normalization parameter on the dynamical behavior of the ring string are respectively analyzed. Our numerical results show that the chaotic behavior of string generally becomes stronger with the increase of the quintessence normalization parameter. In particular, the conditions for the existence of chaos are distinctly diverse for two different quintessence state parameters. Furthermore, it is found that the magnetic charge does not significantly affect the chaotic behavior of the string in a specific range.

The Hessian of the entropy function can be thought of as a metric tensor on the state space. In the context of thermodynamical fluctuation theory Ruppeiner has argued that the Riemannian geometry of this metric gives insight into the underlying statistical mechanical system; the claim is supported by numerous examples. We study this geometry for some families of black holes. It is flat for the BTZ and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, while curvature singularities occur for the Reissner-Nordstrom-anti-de Sitter and Kerr black holes.

If rebounces avoid singularities, the multiverse acquires new features; in particular probabilities avoid some of the usual ambiguities. If rebounces change the vacuum energy by a small enough amount, this dynamics selects a small vacuum energy and becomes the most likely source of universes with anthropically small cosmological constant. Its probability distribution could avoid the gap by 2 orders of magnitude that seems left by standard anthropic selection.

If rebounces avoid singularities, the multiverse acquires new features; in particular probabilities avoid some of the usual ambiguities. If rebounces change the vacuum energy by a small enough amount, this dynamics selects a small vacuum energy and becomes the most likely source of universes with anthropically small cosmological constant. Its probability distribution could avoid the gap by 2 orders of magnitude that seems left by standard anthropic selection.

Pairs of Planck-mass-scale drops of superfluid helium coated by electrons (i.e., "Millikan oil drops"), when levitated in the presence of strong magnetic fields and at low temperatures, can be efficient quantum transducers between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational (GR) radiation. A Hertz-like experiment, in which EM waves are converted at the source into GR waves, and then back-converted at the receiver from GR waves back into EM waves, should be practical to perform. This would open up observations of the gravity-wave analog of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the extremely early Big Bang, and also communications directly through the interior of the Earth.

We have investigated some bouncing models in the framework of an extended gravity theory where the usual Ricci scalar in the gravitational action is replaced by a sum of the Ricci scalar and a term proportional to the trace of the energy momentum tensor. The dynamical parameters of the model are derived in most general manner. We considered two bouncing scenarios through an exponential and a power law scale factor. The non singular bouncing models also favour a late time cosmic speed up phenomenon. The dynamical behaviour of the equation of state parameter is studied for the models. It is observed that, near the bounce, the dynamics is substantially affected by the coupling parameter of the modified gravity theory as compared to the parameters of the bouncing scale factors.

We present new static spherically-symmetric exact solutions of Einstein equations with the quintessential matter surrounding a black hole charged or not as well as for the case without the black hole. A condition of additivity and linearity in the energy-momentum tensor is introduced, which allows one to get correct limits to the known solutions for the electromagnetic static field implying the relativistic relation between the energy density and pressure, as well as for the extraordinary case of cosmological constant, i.e. de Sitter space. We classify the horizons, which evidently reveal themselves in the static coordinates, and derive the Gibbons-Hawking temperatures. An example of quintessence with the state parameter w=-2/3 is discussed in detail.

A semi-classical analysis of vacuum energy in the expanding spacetime suggests that the cosmological term decays with time, with a concomitant matter production. For early times we find, in Planck units, $\Lambda \approx H^4$, where H is the Hubble parameter. The corresponding cosmological solution has no initial singularity, existing since an infinite past. During an infinitely long period we have a quasi-de Sitter, inflationary universe, with $H \approx 1$. However, at a given time, the expansion undertakes a phase transition, with H and $\Lambda$ decreasing to nearly zero in a few Planck times, producing a huge amount of radiation. On the other hand, the late-time scenario is similar to the standard model, with the radiation phase followed by a dust era, which tends asymptotically to a de Sitter universe, with vacuum dominating again.

Within the post Newtonian framework the fully reduced Hamiltonian (i.e., with eliminated spin supplementary condition) for the next-to-leading order spin-squared dynamics of general compact binaries is presented. The Hamiltonian is applicable to the spin dynamics of all kinds of binaries with self-gravitating components like black holes and/or neutron stars taking into account spin-induced quadrupolar deformation effects in second post-Newtonian order perturbation theory of Einstein's field equations. The corresponding equations of motion for spin, position and momentum variables are given in terms of canonical Poisson brackets. Comparison with a nonreduced potential calculated within the Effective Field Theory approach is made.

We consider the stability of the toroidal AdS-Schwarzshild black holes as solutions of the Einstein--Klein-Gordon system, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions for the scalar field. Restricting to perturbations that respect the toroidal symmetry we show both orbital and asymptotic stability for the full nonlinear problem, for a range of choices of the Klein-Gordon mass. The solutions we construct with Neumann boundary conditions have a Hawking mass which diverges towards infinity, reflecting the infinite energy of the Klein-Gordon field for perturbations satisfying these boundary conditions.

In this work we explore the connections between Newman-Penrose scalars, including the Penrose-Rindler $\mathcal{K}$-curvature, with the equation of state of asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. After briefly reviewing the equation of state for these black holes from the point of view of both the Extended Phase Space and the Horizon Thermodynamics approaches, a geometric splitting is given for such an equation in terms of the non vanishing Newman-Penrose scalars which define the $\mathcal{K}$-curvature at the horizon. From this splitting, a possible thermodynamical interpretation is developed for such scalars in the context of the black hole thermodynamics approaches initially discussed. Afterwards, the square root of the Bel-Robinson tensor is employed to propose conditions at the horizons in terms of pressures or energy densities, which can be understood as alternative thermodynamical definitions of these surfaces.

We investigate the relation between measurements and the physical observables for vacuum spacetimes with compact spatial surfaces in (2+1)-gravity with vanishing cosmological constant. By considering an observer who emits lightrays that return to him at a later time, we obtain explicit expressions for several measurable quantities as functions on the physical phase space of the theory: the eigentime elapsed between the emission of a lightray and its return to the observer, the angles between the directions into which the light has to be emitted to return to the observer and the relative frequencies of the lightrays at their emission and return. This provides a framework in which conceptual questions about time, observables and measurements can be addressed. We analyse the properties of these measurements and their geometrical interpretation and show how they allow an observer to determine the values of the Wilson loop observables that parametrise the physical phase space of (2+1)-gravity. We discuss the role of time in the theory and demonstrate that the specification of an observer with respect to the spacetime's geometry amounts to a gauge fixing procedure yielding Dirac observables.

The Wheeler-DeWitt Equation represents a tool to study Quantum Gravity and Quantum Cosmology. Its solution in a very general context is, of course, impossible. To this purpose we consider some distortions of General Relativity like Gravity's Rainbow, Varying Speed of Light Cosmology, Generalized Uncertainty Principle deformations and Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity which could allow the calculation of some observables like the cosmological constant. For simplicity we consider only the Mini-Superspace approach related to a Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker space-time.

The system of gravity coupled to the non-rotational dust field is studied at both classical and quantum levels. The scalar constraint of the system can be written in the form of a true physical Hamiltonian with respect to the dust time. In the framework of loop quantum gravity, the scalar constraint is promoted to a well-defined operator in a suitable Hilbert space of the coupled system, such that the physical Hamiltonian becomes a symmetric operator. By the deparametrized form, a general expression of the solutions to the quantum scalar constraint is obtained, and the observables on the space of solutions can be constructed. Moreover, the Dirac quantization procedure can be fully carried out in loop quantum gravity by this system.

The modelling of unequal mass binary black hole systems is of high importance to detect and estimate parameters from these systems. Numerical relativity (NR) is well suited to study systems with comparable component masses, $m_1\sim m_2$, whereas small mass ratio (SMR) perturbation theory applies to binaries where $q=m_2/m_1<< 1$. This work investigates the applicability for NR and SMR as a function of mass ratio for eccentric non-spinning binary black holes. We produce $52$ NR simulations with mass ratios between $1:10$ and $1:1$ and initial eccentricities up to $0.7$. From these we extract quantities like gravitational wave energy and angular momentum fluxes and periastron advance, and assess their accuracy. To facilitate comparison, we develop tools to map between NR and SMR inspiral evolutions of eccentric binary black holes. We derive post-Newtonian accurate relations between different definitions of eccentricity. Based on these analyses, we introduce a new definition of eccentricity based on the (2,2)-mode of the gravitational radiation, which reduces to the Newtonian definition of eccentricity in the Newtonian limit. From the comparison between NR simulations and SMR results, we quantify the unknown next-to-leading order SMR contributions to the gravitational energy and angular momentum fluxes, and periastron advance. We show that in the comparable mass regime these contributions are subdominant and higher order SMR contributions are negligible.

The study of scattering encounters continues to provide new insights into the general relativistic two-body problem. The local-in-time conservative dynamics of an aligned-spin binary, for both unbound and bound orbits, is fully encoded in the gauge-invariant scattering-angle function, which is most naturally expressed in a post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion, and which exhibits a remarkably simple dependence on the masses of the two bodies (in terms of appropriate geometric variables). This dependence links the PM and small-mass-ratio approximations, allowing gravitational self-force results to determine new post-Newtonian (PN) information to all orders in the mass ratio. In this paper, we exploit this interplay between relativistic scattering and self-force theory to obtain the third-subleading (4.5PN) spin-orbit dynamics for generic spins, and the third-subleading (5PN) spin$_1$-spin$_2$ dynamics for aligned spins. We further implement these novel PN results in an effective-one-body framework, and demonstrate the improvement in accuracy by comparing against numerical-relativity simulations.

In the present chapter, we have established multiple fluid cosmological models under interaction scenarios. the interaction model we have established is a binary type of interaction scenario where three types of fluids are bound with interaction. We have incorporated variable gravitational constant and variable cosmological constant. The whole work has proceeded with modified gravity geometry where the modified effect over Einstein's gravity act like a variable cosmological constant.

A white hole (WH) is a time-reversed black hole (BH) solution in General relativity with a spacetime region to which cannot be entered from the outside. Recently they have been proposed as a possible solution to the information loss problem [Haggard and Rovelli, 2015]. In particular it has been argued that the quantization of the gravitational field may prevent a BH from collapsing entirely with an exponential decay law associated to the black-hole-to-white-hole (BHWH) tunneling scenario [Barcelo, Carballo, and Garay, 2017]. During this period of BHWH transition the Hawking radiation should take place. Taking this possibility into account, we utilize the Hamilton-Jacobi and Parkih-Wilczek methods to study the Hawking radiation viewed as a quantum tunneling effect to calculate the tunneling rate of vector particles tunneling inside (outside) the horizon of a WH (BH), respectively. We show that there is a Hawking radiation associated to a WH spacetime equal to the BH Hawking temperature when viewed from the outside region of the WH geometry. In the framework of Parkih-Wilczek method, surprisingly, we show that Hawking temperature is affected by the initial radial distance at which the gravitational collapse starts.

Quite exotic relativistic objects known as wormholes are hypothetical candidates for central machine of active galactic nuclei as well as black holes. We find the magnitude of the perihelion precession and the deflection of light in gravitational field of a wormhole and compare them with those for a black hole. The impact parameter is taken to be much larger than the wormhole throat size. We show that the relative difference between results for a black hole and a wormhole may be significant and amount to tens of percent.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quasinormal modes (QNMs), greybody factors (GFs) and shadows in a plasma of a black hole (BH) surrounded by an exotic fluid of quintessence type in a scalar-vector-tensor modified gravity. The effects of a quintessence scalar field and the modified gravity (MOG) field on the QNM, GF, and shadow are examined. Using the sixth-order WKB approach, we investigate the QNMs of massless scalar and electromagnetic perturbations. Our findings show that as the quintessence and the MOG parameter ($\epsilon$ and $\alpha$) increase, the oscillation frequencies decrease significantly. Gravitational wave damping, on the other hand, decreases with increasing $\epsilon$ and $\alpha$. In addition, we obtain an analytical solution for the transmission coefficients (GF) and demonstrate that more thermal radiation reaches the observer at spatial infinity as both the $\epsilon$ and $\alpha$ parameters increase. We also investigate the effect of the plasma background on the BH shadow and show that as the plasma background parameter increases, the shadow radius slightly shrinks. Nevertheless, the shadow radius increases as $\alpha$ and $\epsilon$ increase. Particularly intriguing is the fact that increasing $\epsilon$ has a greater impact on the shadow radius than increasing $\alpha$, indicating that the quintessence parameter has a greater impact than the MOG parameter.

We study a Kerr-like black hole and naked singularity in perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM). The critical value of spin parameter $a_c$ is presented to differentiate the black hole from naked singularity. It is seen that for any fixed value of dark matter parameter $\alpha$ the rotating object is black hole if $a\leq a_c$ and naked singularity if $a>a_c$. Also for $-2\leq\alpha<2/3$ the size of the black hole horizons decrease whereas for $2/3<\alpha$ it increases. We also study spin precession frequency of a test gyroscope attached to stationary observer to differentiate a black hole from naked singularity in perfect fluid dark matter. For the black hole, spin precession frequency blows up as the observer reaches the central object while for naked singularity it remains finite except at the ring singularity. Moreover, we study Lense-Thirring precession for a Kerr-like black hole and geodetic precession for Schwarzschild black hole in perfect fluid dark matter. To this end, we have calculated the Kepler frequency (KF), the vertical epicyclic frequency (VEF), and the nodal plane precession frequency (NPPF). Our results show that, the PFDM parameter $\alpha$ significantly affects those frequencies. This difference can be used by astrophysical observations in the near future to shed some light on the nature of dark matter.

We investigate the geodesics' kinematics and dynamics in the Linet-Tian metric with Lambda<0 and compare with the results for the Levi-Civita metric, when Lambda=0. This is used to derive new stability results about the geodesics' dynamics in static vacuum cylindrically symmetric spacetimes with respect to the introduction of Lambda<0. In particular, we find that increasing |Lambda| always increases the minimum and maximum radial distances to the axis of any spatially confined planar null geodesic. Furthermore, we show that, in some cases, the inclusion of any Lambda<0 breaks the geodesics' orbit confinement of the Lambda=0 metric, for both planar and non-planar null geodesics, which are therefore unstable. Using the full system of geodesics' equations, we provide numerical examples which illustrate our results.

We discuss the possibility to solve Modern Numerical Relativity problems using finite element methods (FEM). Adopting a "user friendly" software for handling totally general systems of nonlinear partial differential equations, FEMLAB, we model and numerically solve in a short time a Gowdy vacuum spacetime, representing an inhomogeneous cosmology. Results agree perfectly with existing simulations in the recent literature based not of FEMs but on finite differences methods. Possible applications for non relativistic Astrophysics, General Relativity, elementary particle physics and more general theories of gravitation like EMDA and branes are discussed.

Sandwich gravitational waves are given globally in terms of step functions at the boundaries. Linearized Einstein-Weyl equations are solved exactly in this background in Rosen coordinates. Depending on the geometry and composition of the sandwich wave, the neutrino's energy-momentum redistributes itself. At the test field level, since the background will not change, the neutrino's energy density in particular will show variations between positive and negative extrema when crossing the sandwich wave. This may reveal facts about the weakly interacting neutrinos in cosmology.

Atom Interferometric Gravitational-wave (GW) Space Observatory (AIGSO) is a mission concept mainly aimed at the middle-frequency (0.1 Hz - 10 Hz) GW detection. AIGSO proposes to have three spacecraft in linear formation with extension of 10 km. The three spacecraft need to maintain 5 km + 5 km constant arm-length formation. In this study, we address the issue of orbit design and thruster requirement. The acceleration to maintain the formation can be designed to be less than 30 pm/s$^2$ and the thruster requirement is in the 30 nN range. Application to other arm-length-maintaining missions is also discussed.

In particular, the concept of field regularity is introduced which serves to describe the well-posedness of the local initial value problem for a given field.In particular this is applied to (classical) scalar fields in the class of curve integrable spacetimes to show that the classical singularities do not interrupt the well-posedness of the wave equation.

Some cosmological scenarios with bulk viscosity for the dark energy fluid are considered. Based on some considerations related to hydrodynamics, two different equations of state for dark energy are assumed, leading to power-law and logarithmic effective corrections to the pressure. The models are tested with the latest astronomical data from Type Ia supernovae (Pantheon sample), measurements of the Hubble parameter $H(z)$, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. In comparison with $\Lambda$CDM model, some different results are obtained and their viability is discussed. The power-law model shows some modest results, achieved under negative values of bulk viscosity, while the logarithmic scenario provide good fits in comparison to $\Lambda$CDM model.

In this paper we apply the usual perturbative methodology to evaluate the one-loop effective potential in a nonlocal scalar field theory. We find that the effect induced by the nonlocaliity of the theory is always very small and we discuss the consequences of this result. In particular we argue that, looking at one-loop corrections for matter fields, it is not possible to find signals of the nonlocality of the theory in cosmological observables since, even during inflation when energies are very high, nonlocality-induced corrections are expected to be very small.

In this paper, we revisit the issue of static hairs of black holes in gravitational theories with broken Lorentz invariance in the case that the speed $c_{\phi}$ of the khronon field becomes infinitely large, $c_{\phi} = \infty$, for which the sound horizon of the khronon field coincides with the universal horizon, and the boundary conditions at the sound horizon reduce to those given normally at the universal horizons. As a result, less boundary conditions are present in this extreme case in comparison with the case $c_{\phi} = $ finite. Then, it would be expected that static hairs might exist. However, we show analytically that even in this case static hairs still cannot exist, based on a decoupling limit analysis. We also consider the cases in which $c_{\phi}$ is finite but with $c_{\phi} \gg 1$, and obtain the same conclusion.

We calculate the eccentricity dependence of the high-order post-Newtonian (PN) expansion of the spin-precession invariant $\psi$ for eccentric-orbit extreme-mass-ratio inspirals with a Schwarzschild primary. The series is calculated in first-order black hole perturbation theory through direct analytic expansion of solutions in the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formalism, using a code written in \textsc{Mathematica}. Modes with small values of $l$ are found via the Mano-Suzuki-Takasugi (MST) analytic function expansion formalism for solutions to the Regge-Wheeler equation. Large-$l$ solutions are found by applying a PN expansion ansatz to the Regge-Wheeler equation. Previous work has given $\psi$ to 9.5PN order and to order $e^2$ (i.e., the near circular orbit limit). We calculate the expansion to 9PN but to $e^{16}$ in eccentricity. It proves possible to find a few terms that have closed-form expressions, all of which are associated with logarithmic terms in the PN expansion. We also compare the numerical evaluation of our PN expansion to prior numerical calculations of $\psi$ in close orbits to assess its radius of convergence. We find that the series is not as rapidly convergent as the one for the redshift invariant at $r \simeq 10M$ but still yielding $\sim 1\%$ accuracy for eccentricities $e \lesssim 0.25$.

In the context of scalar-tensor theories of gravity we compute the third-order corrected spectral indices in the slow-roll approximation. The calculation is carried out by employing the Green's function method for scalar and tensor perturbations in both the Einstein and Jordan frames. Then, using the interrelations between the Hubble slow-roll parameters in the two frames we find that the frames are equivalent up to third order. Since the Hubble slow-roll parameters are related to the potential slow-roll parameters, we express the observables in terms of the latter which are manifestly invariant. Nevertheless, the same inflaton excursion leads to different predictions in the two frames since the definition of the number of e-folds differs. To illustrate this effect we consider a nonminimal inflationary model and find that the difference in the predictions grows with the nonminimal coupling and it can actually be larger than the difference between the first and third order results for the observables. Finally, we demonstrate the effect of various end-of-inflation conditions on the observables. These effects will become important for the analyses of inflationary models in view of the improved sensitivity of future experiments.

In $n$-dimensional spacetimes ($n>3$), there exists an internal gauge symmetry of the Palatini action with a cosmological constant that is the natural generalization of the so-called "local translations" of three-dimensional general relativity. We report the extension of this symmetry to include the minimal coupling of Yang-Mills and fermion fields to the Palatini action with a cosmological constant. We show that, as in the case of three-dimensional local translations, the extended symmetry depends on the energy-momentum tensor of the corresponding matter field and, for fermions, it contains an additional term that in four dimensions is proportional to the axial fermion current. We also report the extension of the analog of this internal gauge symmetry for the Holst action with a cosmological constant by incorporating minimally coupled scalar and Yang-Mills fields, as well as a non-minimally coupled fermion field. In the last case, the extended symmetry is affected by both the Immirzi parameter and the energy-momentum tensor and, for fermions, it also depends on the axial fermion current.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in investigating homogeneous but anisotropic spacetimes owing to their relation with nonrotating, uncharged black hole interiors. We present a description of axial perturbations for a massless scalar field minimally coupled to this geometry. We truncate the action at the quadratic perturbative order and tailor our analysis to compact spatial sections. Perturbations are described in terms of perturbative gauge invariants, linear perturbative constraints, and their canonically conjugate variables. The entire set, encompassing perturbations and homogeneous degrees of freedom, is consolidated into a canonical one. We employ a hybrid approach to quantize this system, integrating a quantum representation of the homogeneous sector using Loop Quantum Cosmology techniques with a conventional field quantization of the perturbations.

The most general action for a scalar field coupled to gravity that leads to second order field equations for both the metric and the scalar --- Horndeski's theory --- is considered, with the extra assumption that the scalar satisfies shift symmetry. We show that in such theories the scalar field is forced to have a nontrivial configuration in black hole spacetimes, unless one carefully tunes away a linear coupling with the Gauss--Bonnet invariant. Hence, black holes for generic theories in this class will have hair. This contradicts a recent no-hair theorem, which seems to have overlooked the presence of this coupling.

The natural extension of Schwarzschild metric to the case of nonzero cosmological constant $\Lambda$ known as the Kottler metric is considered and it is discussed under what circumstances the given metric could describe the Schwarzschild black hole immersed in a medium with nonzero energy density. Under the latter situation such an object might carry topologically inequivalent configurations of various fields. The given possibility is analysed for complex scalar field and it is shown that the mentioned configurations might be tied with natural presence of Dirac monopoles on black hole under consideration. In turn, this could markedly modify the Hawking radiation process.

The earlier developed algorithm for constructing a self-conjugate Hamiltonian in the \eta-representation for Dirac particles interacting with a general gravitational field is extended to the case of electromagnetic fields. This Hamiltonian is applied to the case when the gravitational field describes the spatially flat Friedmann model, and the electromagnetic field is the Coulomb potential extended to the case of this model. The analysis of atomic systems and electromagnetic forces of interaction under the conditions of spatially flat expansion of the universe has demonstrated that the system of atomic levels does not change with cosmological time. Spectral lines of atoms in the spatially flat Friedmann model are identical at different points of cosmological time. In this case the redshift is stipulated entirely by the growth of wavelength of photons at movement in the expending universe. At the same time force of interaction between elementary particles can change with expansion of the universe.

The holonomy-flux algebra $\A$ of loop quantum gravity is known to admit a natural representation that is uniquely singled out by the requirement of covariance under spatial diffeomorphisms. In the cosmological context, the requirement of spatial homogeneity naturally reduces $\A$ to a much smaller algebra, $\A_{\rm Red}$, used in loop quantum cosmology. In Bianchi I models, it is shown that the requirement of covariance under \emph{residual} diffeomorphism symmetries again uniquely selects the representation of $\A_{\rm Red}$ that has been commonly used. We discuss the close parallel between the two uniqueness results and also point out a difference.

This paper presents a critical review of particle production in an uniform electric field and Schwarzchild-like spacetimes. Both problems can be reduced to solving an effective one-dimensional Schrodinger equation with a potential barrier. In the electric field case, the potential is that of an inverted oscillator -x^2 while in the case of Schwarchild-like spacetimes, the potential is of the form -1/x^2 near the horizon. The transmission and reflection coefficients can easily be obtained for both potentials. To describe particle production, these coefficients have to be suitably interpreted. In the case of the electric field, the standard Bogoliubov coefficients can be identified and the standard gauge invariant result is recovered. However, for Schwarzchild-like spacetimes, such a tunnelling interpretation appears to be invalid. The Bogoliubov coefficients cannot be determined by using an identification process similar to that invoked in the case of the electric field. The reason for such a discrepancy appears to be that, in the tunnelling method, the effective potential near the horizon is singular and symmetric. We also provide a new and simple semi-classical method of obtaining Hawking's result in the (t,r) co-ordinate system of the usual standard Schwarzchild metric. We give a prescription whereby the singularity at the horizon can be regularised with Hawking's result being recovered. This regularisation prescription contains a fundamental asymmetry that renders both sides of the horizon dissimilar. Finally, we attempt to interpret particle production by the electric field as a tunnelling process between the two sectors of the Rindler metric.

Cosmology, the physics of creation and evolution of the universe, which was once thought to be beyond human perseverance, has now become a rich science of highest importance. However, the theory of gravitation, the oldest known interaction, is still not well understood. In the process of unveiling the evolutionary history of the universe, we shall explore some facts that suggest General Theory of Relativity is not the complete theory of gravitation.

It is shown that the energy in the centre of mass frame of two colliding particles in free fall at any point of the ergosphere of the rotating black hole can grow without limit for fixed energy values of particles on infinity. The effect takes place for large negative values of the angular momentum of one of the particles. It occurs that the geodesics with negative energy in equatorial plane of rotating black holes cannot originate or terminate inside the ergosphere. Their length is always finite and this leads to conclusion that they must originate and terminate inside the gravitational radius of the ergosphere. The energy in the centre of mass frame of one particle falling into the gravitational radius and the other arriving from the area inside it is growing without limit on the horizon.

We discuss the shadow cast by the charged Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) AdS black hole. With the help of Killing equation and Hamilton-Jacobi equation, we calculate the geodesic equations for null particle. With the help of geodesics of null particle, we then determine the celestial coordinates ($\alpha$, $\beta$) and the shadow radius of the RN AdS black hole. We present a graphical analysis of the black hole shadow and find that shadow is a perfectly dark circle. The impacts of charge and cosmological constant of the RN AdS black hole on the radius of shadow are also presented. In this connection, radius of the shadow is a decreasing function of the charge. Furthermore, we study the effects of plasma medium on the RN AdS black hole shadow. Here, we find that radius of circular shadow increases with increasing plasma parameter. In addition, we also discuss the energy emission rate of RN AdS black hole. The effects of parameters like charge, cosmological constant and plasma parameter on energy emission rate are analyzed graphically.

The dynamics of the planar circular restricted three-body problem with Kerr-like primaries in the context of a beyond-Newtonian approximation is studied. The beyond-Newtonian potential is developed by using the Fodor-Hoenselaers-Perj\'es procedure. An expansion in the Kerr potential is performed and terms up-to the first non-Newtonian contribution of both the mass and spin effects are included. With this potential, a model for a test particle of infinitesimal mass orbiting in the equatorial plane of the two primaries is examined. The introduction of a parameter, $\epsilon$, allows examination of the system as it transitions from the Newtonian to the beyond-Newtonian regime. The evolution and stability of the fixed points of the system as a function of the parameter $\epsilon$ is also studied. The dynamics of the particle is studied using the Poincar\'e map of section and the Maximal Lyapunov Exponent as indicators of chaos. Intermediate values of $\epsilon$ seem to be the most chaotic for the two cases of primary mass-ratios ($=0.001,0.5$) examined. The amount of chaos in the system remains higher than the Newtonian system as well as for the planar circular restricted three-body problem with Schwarzschild-like primaries for all non-zero values of $\epsilon$.

We investigate the induced geodesic deviation equations in the brane world models, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane. Also, the Newtonian limit of induced geodesic deviation equation is studied. We show that in the first Randall-Sundrum model the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule is as a result of consistency between the geodesic and geodesic deviation equations. This indicates that the path of test particle is made up of integral multiples of a fundamental Compton-type unit of length $h/mc$.

There is a general belief, reinforced by statements in standard textbooks, that: (i) one can obtain the full non-linear Einstein's theory of gravity by coupling a massless, spin-2 field $h_{ab}$ self-consistently to the total energy momentum tensor, including its own; (ii) this procedure is unique and leads to Einstein-Hilbert action and (iii) it only uses standard concepts in Lorentz invariant field theory and does not involve any geometrical assumptions. After providing several reasons why such beliefs are suspect -- and critically re-examining several previous attempts -- we provide a detailed analysis aimed at clarifying the situation. First, we prove that it is \textit{impossible} to obtain the Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action, starting from the standard action for gravitons in linear theory and iterating repeatedly. Second, we use the Taylor series expansion of the action for Einstein's theory, to identify the tensor $\mathcal{S}^{ab}$, to which the graviton field $h_{ab}$ couples to the lowest order. We show that the second rank tensor $\mathcal{S}^{ab}$ is {\it not} the conventional energy momentum tensor $T^{ab}$ of the graviton and provide an explanation for this feature. Third, we construct the full nonlinear Einstein's theory with the source being spin-0 field, spin-1 field or relativistic particles by explicitly coupling the spin-2 field to this second rank tensor $\mathcal{S}^{ab}$ order by order and summing up the infinite series. Finally, we construct the theory obtained by self consistently coupling $h_{ab}$ to the conventional energy momentum tensor $T^{ab}$ order by order and show that this does {\it not} lead to Einstein's theory. (condensed).

There has been some recent speculation that a connection may exist between the quasinormal-mode spectra of highly damped black holes and the fundamental theory of quantum gravity. This notion follows from a conjecture by Hod that the real part of the highly damped mode frequencies can be used to calibrate the semi-classical level spacing in the black hole quantum area spectrum. However, even if the level spacing can be fixed in this manner, it still remains unclear whether this implies a physically significant "duality" or merely a numerical coincidence. This tapestry of ideas serves as the motivation for the current paper. We utilize the "monodromy approach" to calculate the quasinormal-mode spectra for a generic class of black holes in two-dimensional dilatonic gravity. Our results agree with the prior literature whenever a direct comparison is possible and provide the analysis of a much more diverse class of black hole models than previously considered.

Cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous string cosmological models are investigated in presence of string fluid as a source of matter. To get the three types of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations we assume $A = f(x)k(t)$, $B = g(x)\ell(t)$ and $C = h(x)\ell(t)$. Some physical and geometric aspects of the models are discussed.

We consider the action principle to derive the classical, non-relativistic motion of a self-interacting particle in a 4-D Lorentzian spacetime containing a wormhole and which allows the existence of closed time-like curves. For the case of a `hard-sphere' self-interaction potential we show that the only possible trajectories (for a particle with fixed initial and final positions and which traverses the wormhole once) minimizing the classical action are those which are globally self-consistent, and that the `Principle of self-consistency' (originally introduced by Novikov) is thus a natural consequence of the `Principle of minimal action.'
