We introduce the notion of topological fragility and briefly discuss some examples from the literature. An important example of this type of fragility is the way globally anisotropic Bianchi V generalisations of the FLRW $k=-1$ model result in a radical restriction on the allowed topology of spatial sections, thereby excluding compact cosmological models with negatively curved three-sections with anisotropy. An outcome of this is to exclude chaotic mixing in such models, which may be relevant, given the many recent attempts at employing compact FLRW $k=-1$ models to produce chaotic mixing in the cosmic microwave background radiation, if the Universe turns out to be globally anisotropic.

In this paper, we study the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) effects for the van der Waals (vdW) black holes. In order to obtain the GUP-corrected solution, we consider GUP-corrected black hole temperature. We also study the thermodynamics and phase transition of GUP-corrected vdW black holes. We compare the differences between thermodynamic properties of both modified and orginal solutions. We show that P-V criticality is physically acceptable in the presence of GUP-correction.

In this paper we discuss the quantum potential approach of Bohm in the context of quantum cosmological model. This approach makes it possible to convert the wavefunction of the universe to a set of equations describing the time evolution of the universe. Following Ashtekar et.\ al., we make use of quantum canonical transformation to cast a class of quantum cosmological models to a simple form in which they can be solved explicitly, and then we use the solutions do recover the time evolution.

We explore the possibility to locate a brane in black hole bulks. We study explicitly the cases of BHTZ and Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter (AdS) black holes. Our result is that in these cases branes cannot be supported by brane tension alone and it is necessary to introduce other forms of matter on the brane. We find classes of perfect fluid solutions obeying to peculiar state equations. For the case of BHTZ bulk geometry the state equation takes exactly the form of a ``Chaplygin gas'', which is relevant in the brane context. In the Schwarzschild-AdS case we find new state equations which reduce to the Chaplygin form when the brane is located near the horizon.

Astronomical data have shown that the galaxy rotation curves are mostly flat in the far distance of the galactic cores, which reveals the insufficiency of our knowledges about how gravity works in these regimes. In this paper we introduce a resolution of this issue from the $f(R,T)$ modified gravity formalism perspective. By investigating two classes of models with separable (minimal coupling model) and inseparable (non-minimal coupling model) parts of the Ricci scalar $R$ and trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$, we find that only in the latter models it is possible to attain flat galaxy rotation curves.

Quantum gravitational effects suggest a minimal length, or spacetime interval, of order the Planck length. This in turn suggests that Hilbert space itself may be discrete rather than continuous. One implication is that quantum states with norm below some very small threshold do not exist. The exclusion of what Everett referred to as maverick branches is necessary for the emergence of the Born Rule in no collapse quantum mechanics. We discuss this in the context of quantum gravity, showing that discrete models (such as simplicial or lattice quantum gravity) indeed suggest a discrete Hilbert space with minimum norm. These considerations are related to the ultimate level of fine-graining found in decoherent histories (of spacetime geometry plus matter fields) produced by quantum gravity.

The unprecedented image of the M87* supermassive black hole has sparked some controversy over its usefulness as a test of the general relativistic Kerr metric. The criticism is mainly related to the black hole's quasi-circular shadow and advocates that its radius depends not only on the black hole's true spacetime properties but also on the poorly known physics of the illuminating accretion flow. In this paper we take a sober view of the problem and argue that our ability to probe gravity with a black hole shadow is only partially impaired by the matter degrees of freedom and the number of non-Kerr parameters used in the model. As we show here, a more intriguing situation arises from the mass scaling of the dimensional coupling constants that typically appear in non-GR theories of gravity. Existing limits from gravitational wave observations imply that supermassive systems like the M87* black hole would suffer a suppression of all non-GR deviation parameters in their metric, making the spacetime and the produced shadow virtually Kerr. Therefore, a supermassive black hole shadow is likely to probe only those extensions of General Relativity which are endowed with dimensionless coupling constants or other special cases with a screening mechanism for black holes or certain types of spontaneous scalarisation.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of dark energy on dynamics of the collapsing fluid within the framework of metric f(R) gravity. The fluid distribution is assumed to be locally anisotropic and undergoing dissipation in the form of heat flow, null radiations and shear viscosity. For this purpose, we take general spherical symmetric spacetime. Dynamical equations are obtained and also some special solutions are found by considering shearing expansionfree evolution of the fluid. It is found that dark energy affects the mass of the collapsing matter and rate of collapse but does not affect the hydrostatic equilibrium.

Our results concern quantum chaos of the vacuum Bianchi IX model. We apply the equilateral triangle potential well approximation to the potential of the Bianchi IX model to solve the eigenvalue problem for the physical Hamiltonian. Such approximation is well satisfied in vicinity of the cosmic singularity. Level spacing distribution of the eigenvalues is studied with and without applying the unfolding procedure. In both cases, the obtained distributions are qualitatively described by Brody's distribution with the parameter $\beta\approx0.3$, revealing some sort of the level repulsion. The observed repulsion may reflect chaotic nature of the classical dynamics of the Bianchi IX universe. However, full understanding of this effects will require examination of the Bianchi IX model with the exact potential.

Additionally, the model predicted a nonsingular universe in past which was geodesically past incomplete. Further, it was also found that the model is in agreement with the Planck 2013 data when running is allowed. But, this model was found to be unsuccessful with Planck 2015 data with or without running. However, in this sequel we propose a family of models runs by a single parameter $alpha in [0, 1]$ which proposes another "inflationary quintessential model" where the inflation and the quintessence regimes are respectively described by a power law potential and a cosmological constant. The model is also nonsingular although geodesically past incomplete as in the cited model. However, the present one is found to be more simple in compared to the previous model and it is in excellent agreement with the observational data. We note that unlike the previous model which matched only with Planck 2013 data in presence of running, a large number of the models of this family with $alpha in [0,1/2)$ matches with both Planck 2013 and Planck 2015 data whether the running is allowed or not.

We study the thermodynamic properties of high dimensional Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes with the consideration of quantum effects. It is shown that by considering the cosmological constant as a variable state parameter and adding an extra term which denotes the vacuum energy, both the differential and integral mass formulas of the first law of Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes can be directly derived from the general Schwarzschild de Sitter metrics in a simple and natural way. Furthermore, after taking quantum effects into account, we can see that the cosmological constant must decrease and the spontaneous decay of the vacuum energy never makes the entropy of Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes decrease. In addition, though the laws of thermodynamics are very powerful, at least the third law can not be applied to the Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes. It should be emphasized that these conclusions come into existence in any dimension.

Using effective dynamics, we investigate the behavior of expansion and shear scalars in different proposed quantizations of the Kantowski-Sachs spacetime with matter in loop quantum cosmology. We find that out of the various proposed choices, there is only one known prescription which leads to the generic bounded behavior of these scalars. The bounds turn out to be universal and are determined by the underlying quantum geometry. This quantization is analogous to the so called 'improved dynamics' in the isotropic loop quantum cosmology, which is also the only one to respect the freedom of the rescaling of the fiducial cell at the level of effective spacetime description.

Using effective dynamics, we investigate the behavior of expansion and shear scalars in different proposed quantizations of the Kantowski-Sachs spacetime with matter in loop quantum cosmology. We find that out of the various proposed choices, there is only one known prescription which leads to the generic bounded behavior of these scalars. The bounds turn out to be universal and are determined by the underlying quantum geometry. This quantization is analogous to the so called 'improved dynamics' in the isotropic loop quantum cosmology, which is also the only one to respect the freedom of the rescaling of the fiducial cell at the level of effective spacetime description. Other proposed quantization prescriptions yield expansion and shear scalars which may not be bounded for certain initial conditions within the validity of effective spacetime description. These prescriptions also have a limitation that the "quantum geometric effects" can occur at an arbitrary scale. We show that the `improved dynamics' of Kantowski-Sachs spacetime turns out to be a unique choice in a general class of possible quantization prescriptions, in the sense of leading to generic bounds on expansion and shear scalars and the associated physics being free from fiducial cell dependence.

As a toy model for the implementation of the diffeomorphism constraint, the interpretation of the resulting states, and the treatment of ordering ambiguities in loop quantum gravity, we consider the Hilbert space of spatially diffeomorphism invariant states for a scalar field. We give a very explicit formula for the scalar product on this space, and discuss its structure. Then we turn to the quantization of a certain class of diffeomorphism invariant quantities on that space, and discuss in detail the ordering issues involved. On a technical level these issues bear some similarity to those encountered in full loop quantum gravity.

Open quantum systems interacting with the environments often show interesting behaviors, such as decoherence, non-unitary evolution, dissipation, etc. It is interesting but still challenging to study the open quantum gravitation system interacting with the environments. In this work, we develop a general parameterized theoretical framework for the open quantum gravitation system. Under the Born-Markov approximation, we derived the quantum master equation with a new method which determines the evolution for certain types of open quantum gravitation system. Finally, we studied a specific model where the real scalar field plays the role of the environment and the spacetime is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic. We quantize the spacetime through the loop quantum gravity. We show that the scalar field can induce the quantum geometry in the equilibrium state when the scalar field is under the thermal equilibrium. For the non-steady state, the quantum geometry flux emerges. We point out that the quantum geometry flux and the coherence can drive the evolution of the spacetime geometry. This provides us a new view on the evolution of the spacetime geometry. Our results shown that the coherence of the spacetime monotonically decreases as the temperature of the bath decreases. This indicates that a classical cold universe can emerge from an initial hot quantum universe. We found in this model that the entanglement entropy of the gravitation system is related to the average volume of the space. We take the continuous limit for studying the loop quantum cosmology and approximately obtain a tunneling probability of the spacetime from the zero volume state to the finite volume state.

The new, complex-dynamical mechanism of the universal gravitation naturally incorporating dynamical quantization, wave-particle duality, and relativity of physically emerging space and time (quant-ph/9902015,16) provides the realistic meaning and fundamentally substantiated modification of the Planckian units of mass, length, and time approaching them closely to the extreme values observed for already discovered elementary particles. This result suggests the important change of research strategy in high-energy/particle physics, displacing it towards the already attained energy scales and permitting one to exclude the existence of elementary objects in the inexplicably large interval of parameters separating the known, practically more than sufficient set of elementary species and the conventional, mechanistically exaggerated values of the Planckian units. This conclusion is supported by the causally complete (physically and mathematically consistent) picture of the fundamental levels of reality derived, without artificial introduction of any structure or 'principle', from the unreduced analysis of the (generic) interaction process between two primal, physically real, but a priori structureless entities, the electromagnetic and gravitational protofields. The naturally emerging phenomenon of universal dynamic redundance (multivaluedness) of interaction process gives rise to the intrinsically unified hierarchy of unreduced dynamic complexity of the world, starting from the lowest levels of elementary objects, and explains the irreducible limitations of the basically single-valued approach of the canonical science leading to the well-known 'mysteries', separations, and loss of certainty.

In this paper, we study some relevant cosmological features of a Dark Energy (DE) model with Granda-Oliveiros cut-off, which is just a specific case of Nojiri-Odintsov holographic DE unifying phantom inflation with late-time acceleration, in the framework of Chameleon Brans-Dicke (BD) Cosmology. Choosing a particular ansatz for some of the quantities involved, we derive the expressions of some important cosmological quantities, like the Equation of State (EoS) parameter of DE $w_D$, the effective EoS parameter $w_{eff}$, the pressure of DE $p_D$ and the deceleration parameter $q$. Moreover, we study the behavior of statefinder parameters $r$ and $s$, of the cosmographic parameters $j$, $s_{cosmo}$, $l$ and $m$ and of the squared speed of the sound $v_s^2$ for both case corresponding to non interacting and interacting Dark Sectors. We also plot the quantities we have derived and we calculate their values for $t\rightarrow 0$ (i.e. for the beginning of the Universe history), for $t\rightarrow \infty$ (i.e. for far future) and for the present time, indicated with $t_0$. The EoS parameters have been tested against various observational values available in the literature.

We study charged and rotating boson stars in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell(-Chern-Simons) theory assuming the two angular momenta associated to the two orthogonal planes of rotation to be equal. Next to the angular momenta, the boson stars carry electric charge and magnetic moment. Interestingly, we find new branches of Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons solutions for which the spatial part of the gauge potential possesses nodes. Consequently, the magnetic moment and the gyromagnetic ratio have opposite sign as compared to the solutions on the main branch. For sufficiently large energy density we find that the solutions possess ergoregions.

The hot accreting gas is heated additionally by the quantum Hawking radiation. It is demonstrated that Hawking radiation prevails over the Compton scattering of hot electrons in the accreting flow onto the small enough evaporating black holes with masses $M<M_q\simeq 4.61\cdot10^{29}$ grams. In result, the evaporating black holes with masses $M<M_q$ reverse the inflowing plasma into outflowing one and stop the black hole accretion at all. The black holes with masses $M<M_q$ made contribute to the enigmatic dark matter at the galactic disks, galactic halos and even in the intergalactic space, if these black holes are primordial in origin.

Using the Gauss-Bonnet formula, integral of the Gaussian curvature over a 2-surface enclosed by a curve in the asymptotically flat region of a static spacetime was found to be a measure of a gravitational analogue of Aharonov-Bohm effect by Ford and Vilenkin in the linearized regime. Employing the 1+3 formulation of spacetime decomposition we study the same effect in the context of full Einstein field equations for stationary spacetimes. Applying our approach to static tube-like and cylindrical distributions of dust not only we recover their result but also obtain an extra term which is interpreted to be representing the classical version of the Colella-Overhauser-Werner effect (the COW experiment).

We have critically compared different approaches to the cosmological constant problem, which is at the edge of elementary particle physics and cosmology. This problem is deeply connected with the difficulties formulating a theory of quantum gravity. After the 1998 discovery that our universe's expansion is accelerating, the cosmological constant problem has obtained a new dimension. We are mainly interested in the question why the cosmological constant is so small. We have identified four different classes of solutions: a symmetry, a back-reaction mechanism, a violation of (some of) the building blocks of general relativity, and statistical approaches. In this thesis we carefully study all known potential candidates for a solution, but conclude that so far none of the approaches gives a satisfactory solution. A symmetry would be the most elegant solution and we study a new symmetry under transformation to imaginary spacetime.

I present here a new algorithm to generate families of inhomogeneous massless scalar field cosmologies. New spacetimes, having a single isometry, are generated by breaking the homogeneity of massless scalar field $G_2$ models along one direction. As an illustration of the technique I construct cosmological models which in their late time limit represent perturbations in the form of gravitational and scalar waves propagating on a non-static inhomogeneous background. Several features of the obtained metrics are discussed, such as their early and late time limits, structure of singularities and physical interpretation.

Photon-graviton mixing in an electromagnetic field is a process of potential interest for cosmology and astrophysics. At the tree level it has been studied by many authors. We consider the one-loop contribution to this amplitude involving a charged spin 0 or spin 1/2 particle in the loop and an arbitrary constant field. In the first part of this article, the worldline formalism is used to obtain a compact two-parameter integral representation for this amplitude, valid for arbitrary photon energies and background field strengths. The calculation is manifestly covariant througout.

In this paper, we present a new hydrostatic equilibrium equation related to dilaton gravity. We consider a spherical symmetric metric to obtain the hydrostatic equilibrium equation of stars in $4$-dimensions, and generalize TOV equation to the case of regarding a dilaton field. Then, we calculate the structure properties of neutron star using our obtained hydrostatic equilibrium equation employing the modern equations of state of neutron star matter derived from microscopic calculations. We show that the maximum mass of neutron star depends on the parameters of dilaton field and cosmological constant. In other words, by setting the parameters of new hydrostatic equilibrium equation, we calculate the maximum mass of neutron star.

The dynamics of Gowdy vacuum spacetimes is considered in terms of Hubble-normalized scale-invariant variables, using the timelike area temporal gauge. The resulting state space formulation provides for a simple mechanism for the formation of ``false'' and ``true spikes'' in the approach to the singularity, and a geometrical formulation for the local attractor.

The optical properties of rotating black holes in Kaluza-Klein theory described by the total mass, spin, and electric and magnetic charges are investigated in detail. Using a developed general relativistic ray-tracing code to calculate the motion of photons, the numerous shadows of Kaluza-Klein black holes are generated. The properties of the black hole shadow and the light deflection angle around these black holes are also studied in order to put constraints on the parameters of Kaluza-Klein black holes using M87* shadow observations. The possibility of imposing constraints on Kaluza-Klein black holes using shadow observations is investigated. Moreover, we find that small charges (electric and magnetic) of the black hole can meet these constraints. We conclude that with the current precision of the M87* black hole shadow image observation by the EHT collaboration, the shadow observations of Kaluza-Klein black holes are indistinguishable from that of the Kerr black hole. Much better observational accuracy than the current capabilities of the EHT collaboration are required in order to place verified constraints on the parameters of modified theories of gravity in the strong field regime.

We do not yet know how to quantize gravity in 3+1 dimensions, but in lower dimensions we face the opposite problem: many of the approaches originally developed for (3+1)-dimensional gravity can be successfully implemented in 2+1 dimensions, but the resulting quantum theories are not all equivalent. In this talk, I discuss six such approaches --- reduced phase space ADM quantization, the Chern-Simons/connection representation, covariant canonical quantization, the loop representation, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, and lattice methods --- for the simple case of a spacetime whose spatial topology is that of a torus. A comparison of the resulting quantum theories can provide some useful insights into the conceptual issues that underlie quantum gravity in any number of dimensions.

In this article, the new black hole solutions to the Einstein-power-Maxwell-dilaton gravity theory have been investigated in a four-dimensional space-time. The coupled scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational field equations have been solved in a static and spherically symmetric geometry. It has been shown that dilatonic potential, as the solution to the scalar field equation, can be written in the form of a generalized Liouville potential. Also, three classes of novel charged dilaton black hole solutions, in the presence of power law nonlinear electrodynamics, have been constructed out which are asymptotically non-flat and non-AdS. The conserved and thermodynamic quantities have been calculated from geometrical and thermodynamical approaches, separately. Since the results of these two alternative approaches are identical one can argue that the first law of black hole thermodynamics is valid for all of the new black hole solutions. The thermodynamic stability or phase transition of the black holes have been studied, making use of the canonical ensemble method. The points of type-1 and type-2 phase transitions as well as the ranges at which the black holes are stable have been indicated by considering the heat capacity of the new black hole solutions. The global stability of the black holes have been studied through the grand canonical ensemble method. Regarding the Gibbs free energy of the black holes, the points of Hawking-Page phase transition and ranges of the horizon radii at which the black holes are globally stable have been determined.

In this paper, I study the dynamics of the Kaluza-Klein internal manifold using its ``shape'' and the ``size'' as collective coordinates. The essential motivation is to be able to explain symmetry breaking in gauge theories through a transition of the internal manifold from a symmetrical metric space to a less symmetric one. We find that this may be possible depending on the values of certain group theoretical parameters. Further, this transition resembles a ``quintessential inflation'' scenario, the feasibility of which however, needs to be further studied in details.

The Chevreton superenergy tensor was introduced in 1964 as a counterpart, for electromagnetic fields, of the well-known Bel-Robinson tensor of the gravitational field. We here prove the unnoticed facts that, in the absence of electromagnetic currents, Chevreton's tensor (i) is completely symmetric, and (ii) has a trace-free divergence if Einstein-Maxwell equations hold. It follows that the trace of the Chevreton tensor is a rank-2, symmetric, trace-free, {\em conserved} tensor, which is different from the energy-momentum tensor, and nonetheless can be constructed for any test Maxwell field, or any Einstein-Maxwell spacetime.

The rapid advancement of gravitational wave astronomy in recent years has paved the way for the burgeoning development of black hole spectroscopy, which enhances the possibility of testing black holes by their quasinormal modes (QNMs). In this paper, the axial gravitational perturbations and the QNM frequencies of black holes in the hybrid metric-Palatini gravity (HMPG) are investigated. The HMPG theory is characterized by a dynamical scalar degree of freedom and is able to explain the late-time accelerating expansion of the universe without introducing any \textit{ad hoc} screening mechanism to preserve the dynamics at the Solar System scale. We obtain the master equation governing the axial gravitational perturbations of the HMPG black holes and calculate the QNM frequencies. Moreover, in the scrutiny of the black holes and their QNMs, we take into account the constraints on the model parameters based on the post-Newtonian analysis, and show how the QNM frequencies of the HMPG black holes would be altered in the observationally consistent range of parameter space.

We investigate the cosmological dynamics of the recently proposed extended chameleon models at both background and linear perturbation levels. Dynamical systems techniques are employed to fully characterize the evolution of the universe at the largest distances, while structure formation is analysed at sub-horizon scales within the quasi-static approximation. The late time dynamical transition from dark matter to dark energy domination can be well described by almost all extended chameleon models considered, with no deviations from $\Lambda$CDM results at both background and perturbation levels. The results obtained in this work confirm the cosmological viability of extended chameleons as alternative dark energy models.

The use of geometric methods has proved useful in the hamiltonian description of classical constrained systems. In this note we provide the first steps toward the description of the geometry of quantum constrained systems. We make use of the geometric formulation of quantum theory in which unitary transformations (including time evolution) can be seen, just as in the classical case, as finite canonical transformations on the quantum state space. We compare from this perspective the classical and quantum formalisms and argue that there is an important difference between them, that suggests that the condition on observables to become physical is through the double commutator with the square of the constraint operator. This provides a bridge between the standard Dirac procedure --through its geometric implementation-- and the Master Constraint program.

Motivated by the lack of rotating solutions sourced by matter in General Relativity as well as in modified gravity theories, we extend a recently discovered exact rotating solution of the minimal Einstein-scalar theory to its counterpart in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity coupled to a Born-Infeld scalar field. This is accomplished with the implementation of a well-developed mapping between solutions of Ricci-Based Palatini theories of gravity and General Relativity. The new solution is parametrized by the scalar charge and the Born-Infeld coupling constant apart from the mass and spin of the compact object. Compared to the spacetime prior to the mapping, we find that the high-energy modifications at the Born-Infeld scale are able to suppress but not remove the curvature divergence of the original naked null singularity. Depending on the sign of the Born-Infeld coupling constant, these modifications may even give rise to an additional timelike singularity exterior to the null one. In spite of that, both of the naked singularities before and after the mapping are capable of casting shadows, and as a consequence of the mapping relation, their shadows turn out to be identical as seen by a distant observer on the equatorial plane. Even though the scalar field induces a certain oblateness to the appearance of the shadow with its left and right endpoints held fixed, the closedness condition for the shadow contour sets a small upper bound on the absolute value of the scalar charge, which leads to observational features of the shadow closely resembling those of a Kerr black hole.

We investigate entanglement generation between two pulses through the gravitational interaction in the framework of linearized quantum gravity. Different from the earlier suggestions that two massive particles can be entangled through the gravitational field produced by the particles themselves, we use the massless particles (a laser pulse) to generate the gravitational field. In our proposal, the propagating retarded effect of the gravitational perturbation generated by the laser pulses can be incorporated into the interaction, which is significant for supporting the assumption of local interaction. It is found that the locally linearized quantum gravitational interaction can indeed lead to the generation of entanglement between two pulses, and the result is dependent on the propagating time of the gravitational perturbation. We also provide a measurement suggestion using a Holometer-like interferometers structure to present this result of gravitation-induced entanglement, which could show that the gravitational mediator is quantum in future experiments.

I consider configuration spaces for $N$-body problems, gauge theories and for GR in both geometrodynamical and Ashtekar variables forms, including minisuperspace and inhomogeneous perturbations thereabout in the former case. These examples include many interesting spaces of shapes (with and without whichever of local or global notions of scale). In considering reduced configuration spaces, stratified manifolds arise. Three strategies to deal with these are `excise', `unfold' and `accept'. I show that spaces of triangles arising from various interpretations of 3-body problems already serve as model arena for all three. I furthermore argue in favour of the `accept' strategy on relational grounds. This approach requires sheaf methods (which go beyond fibre bundles and general bundles, which I contrast with sheaves and presheaves in some appendices). Sheaf methods are also required for the stratifold construct that pairs some well-behaved stratified manifolds with sheaves. I apply arguing against `excise' and `unfold' to GR's superspace and thin sandwich, and to the removal of collinear configurations in mechanics. Non-redundant configurations are also useful in providing more accurate names for various spaces and theories.

I consider configuration spaces for $N$-body problems, gauge theories and for GR in both geometrodynamical and Ashtekar variables forms, including minisuperspace and inhomogeneous perturbations thereabout in the former case. These examples include many interesting spaces of shapes (with and without whichever of local or global notions of scale). In considering reduced configuration spaces, stratified manifolds arise. Three strategies to deal with these are `excise', `unfold' and `accept'. I show that spaces of triangles arising from various interpretations of 3-body problems already serve as model arena for all three. I furthermore argue in favour of the `accept' strategy on relational grounds. This approach requires sheaf methods (which go beyond fibre bundles and general bundles, which I contrast with sheaves and presheaves in some appendices). Sheaf methods are also required for the stratifold construct that pairs some well-behaved stratified manifolds with sheaves.

We consider the two scalar field cosmology in a FRW spatially flat spacetime where the scalar fields interact both in the kinetic part and the potential. We apply the Noether point symmetries in order to define the interaction of the scalar fields. We use the point symmetries in order to write the field equations in the normal coordinates and we find that the Lagrangian of the field equations which admits at least three Noether point symmetries describes linear Newtonian systems. Furthermore, by using the corresponding conservation laws we find exact solutions of the field equations. Finally, we generalize our results to the case of N scalar fields interacting both in their potential and their kinematic part in a flat FRW background.

We analyze the trajectories of three geostationary satellites forming the GEOstationary GRAvitational Wave Interferometer (GEOGRAWI)~\cite{tinto}, a space-based laser interferometer mission aiming to detect and study gravitational radiation in the ($10^{-4} - 10$) Hz band. The combined effects of the gravity fields of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon make the three satellites deviate from their nominally stationary, equatorial and equilateral configuration. Since changes in the satellites relative distances and orientations could negatively affect the precision of the laser heterodyne measurements, we have derived the time-dependence of the inter-satellite distances and velocities, the variations of the polar angles made by the constellation's three arms with respect to a chosen reference frame, and the time changes of the triangle's enclosed angles. We find that, during the time between two consecutive station-keeping maneuvers (about two weeks), the relative variations of the inter-satellite distances do not exceed a value of $0.05$ percent, while the relative velocities between pairs of satellites remain smaller than about $0.7 \ {\rm m/s}$. In addition, we find the angles made by the arms of the triangle with the equatorial plane to be periodic functions of time whose amplitudes grow linearly with time; the maximum variations experienced by these angles as well as by those within the triangle remain smaller than $3$ arc-minutes, while the East-West angular variations of the three arms remain smaller than about $15$ arc-minutes during the two-weeks period. The relatively small variations of these orbit parameters result into a set of system functional and performance requirements that are less stringent than those characterizing an interplanetary mission.

Utilizing various gauges of the radial coordinate, we give a General Relativistic (GR) description of static spherically symmetric spacetimes with a massive point source and vacuum outside this singularity. We show that in GR there exists a two-parameter family of such solutions to the Einstein equations which are physically distinguishable and describe the gravitational field of a single massive point particle with positive proper mass $M_0$ and positive Keplerian mass $M<M_0$. In particular, we show that the widespread Hilbert form of the Schwarzschild solution, which depends only on the Keplerian mass $M$ and describes Black Holes (BH), does not solve the Einstein equations with a massive point particle stress-energy tensor. Novel normal coordinates for the gravitational field and a new physical class of gauges are proposed, thus achieving a correct description of a point mass source in GR. We also introduce a gravitational mass defect of a point particle and determine the dependence of the solutions on this mass defect. The result can be described as a change of the Newton potential $\varphi_{\!{}_N}=-G_{\!{}_N}M/r$ to a modified one $\varphi_{\!{}_G}=-G_{\!{}_N}M/ \left(r+G_{\!{}_N} M/c^2\ln{{M_0}\over M}\right)$ and the corresponding modification of the four-interval. We show that the proper 3D flat space, where these two potentials can be compared, is the tangent space above the position of the massive point source. In addition, we present invariant characteristics of the physically and geometrically different classes of spherically symmetric static spacetimes created by a point mass. Our findings are important for description of Extremely Compact Objects (ECOs) studied in relation with possible echoes in Gravitational Waves (GW) recently discovered by the LIGO/VIRGO collaboration. %

This is achieved through a Born--Oppenheimer type of approximation scheme from the Wheeler--DeWitt equation of canonical quantum gravity using gauge-invariant variables.

AMIGO is a first-generation Astrodynamical Middle-frequency Interferometric GW Observatory. The scientific goals of AMIGO are: to bridge the spectra gap between first-generation high-frequency and low-frequency GW sensitivities; to detect intermediate mass BH coalescence; to detect inspiral phase and predict time of binary black hole coalescence together with neutron star coalescence for ground interferometers; to detect compact binary inspirals for studying stellar evolution and galactic population. The mission concept is to use time delay interferometry for a nearly triangular formation of 3 drag-free spacecraft with nominal arm length 10,000 km, emitting laser power 2-10 W and telescope diameter 300-500 mm. The design GW sensitivity in the middle frequency band is 3 x 10^(-21) Hz^(-1/2). Both heliocentric and geocentric orbits are under study. All options have LISA-like formations, that is the triangular formation is 60 deg inclined to the orbit plane. For AMIGO, the first-generation time delay interferometry is good enough for the laser frequency noise suppression. We also investigate for each options of orbits under study, whether constant equal-arm implementation is feasible. For the solar-orbit option, the acceleration to maintain the formation can be designed to be less than 15 nm/s2 with the thruster requirement in the 15 {\mu}N range. AMIGO would be a good place to implement the constant equal-arm option. Fuel requirement, thruster noise requirement and test mass acceleration actuation requirement are briefly considered. From the orbit study, the solar orbit option is the first mission orbit choice. We study the deployment for this orbit option. A last-stage launch from 300 km LEO (Low Earth Orbit) to an appropriate 2-degree-behind-the-Earth AMIGO formation in 95 days requires only a {\delta}v of 75 m/s.

Two different forms of time dilation, namely, the kinematical time dilation of special relativity and gravitational red shift are coupled during observations of systems moving through a gravitational field. In the particular situation of free fall in a Schwarzschild geometry these two effects are decoupled and in consequence the time dilation, as observed by a distant observer, factorises. Such a factorization is not a universal feature. We define here a necessary and sufficient criterion for time dilation and gravitational red-shift decoupling. This property is manifested in a particular form of the Doppler shift in Schwarzschild geometry.

Gravitational waves emitted by inner binaries in hierarchical triple systems are interesting astrophysical candidates for space-based detectors like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA. In the presence of a third body, such as a supermassive black hole, an inner binary consisting of intermediate mass black holes can undergo oscillations in eccentricity and inclination angle due to the Kozai-Lidov mechanism. In this work, we construct analytic gravitational waveforms in the Fourier domain, taking into account the Kozai-Lidov effect at Newtonian (leading) order. Using multiple-scale analysis, we make use of the separability of timescales to combine the effects of both Kozai-Lidov oscillations and radiation-reaction. We assume small eccentricity and present analytic solutions to the evolution of the other orbital elements. Our analytic calculation can be systematically extended to higher orders in eccentricity, and can be used to construct inspiral-merger-ringdown models. The imprint on the waveform, due to this combined evolution, is computed under the stationary-phase approximation. We find that the oscillations leave a clear signature on the Fourier amplitude of the waveform while leaving a measurable imprint on the gravitational wave phase, and that our analytic results are consistent with numerics. Further, with our study of the astrophysical parameters of the hierarchical triple, we outline potential source candidates, along with potential implications for gravitational wave data analysis.

The correspondence of stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat space-times and bundles over a reduced twistor space has been established in four dimensions. The main impediment for an application of this correspondence to examples in higher dimensions is the lack of a higher-dimensional equivalent of the Ernst potential. This thesis will propose such a generalized Ernst potential, point out where the rod structure of the space-time can be found in the twistor picture and thereby provide a procedure for generating solutions to the Einstein field equations in higher dimensions from the rod structure, other asymptotic data, and the requirement of a regular axis. Examples in five dimensions are studied and necessary tools are developed, in particular rules for the transition between different adaptations of the patching matrix and rules for the elimination of conical singularities.

We consider the self-force on a charged particle moving in a curved spacetime with a background electromagnetic field, extending previous studies to situations in which gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations are comparable. The formal expression $f^{ret}_\alpha$ for the self-force on a particle, written in terms of the retarded perturbed fields, is divergent, and a renormalization is needed to find the particle's acceleration at linear order in its mass $m$ and charge $e$. We assume that, as in previous work in a Lorenz gauge, the renormalization for accelerated motion comprises an angle average and mass renormalization. Using the short distance expansion of the perturbed electromagnetic and gravitational fields, we show that the renormalization is equivalent to that obtained from a mode sum regularization in which one subtracts from the expression for the self-force in terms of the retarded fields a singular part field comprising only the leading and subleading terms in the mode sum. The most striking part of our result, arising from a remarkable cancellation, is that the renormalization involves no mixing of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. In particular, the renormalized mass is obtained by subtracting (1) the purely electromagnetic contribution from a point charge moving along an accelerated trajectory and (2) the purely gravitational contribution from a point mass moving along the same trajectory. In a mode-sum regularization, the same cancellation implies that the required regularization parameters are sums of their purely electromagnetic and gravitational values.

We propose a framework for Lorentz-invariant Lagrangian field theories where Ostrogradsky's scalar ghosts could be absent. A key ingredient is the generalized Kronecker delta. The general Lagrangians are reformulated in the language of differential forms. The absence of higher order equations of motion for the scalar modes stems from the basic fact that every exact form is closed. The well-established Lagrangian theories for spin-0, spin-1, p-form, spin-2 fields have natural formulations in this framework. We also propose novel building blocks for Lagrangian field theories. Some of them are novel nonlinear derivative terms for spin-2 fields. It is nontrivial that Ostrogradsky's scalar ghosts are absent in these fully nonlinear theories.

The well-established Lagrangian theories for spin-0, spin-1, p-form, spin-2 fields have natural formulations in this framework. We also propose novel building blocks for Lagrangian field theories. Some of them are novel nonlinear derivative terms for spin-2 fields. It is nontrivial that Ostrogradsky's scalar ghosts are absent in these fully nonlinear theories.

We construct an effective action for gravity in which all homogeneous solutions are nonsingular. In particular, there is neither a big bang nor a big crunch. The action is a higher derivative modification of Einstein's theory constructed in analogy to how the action for point particle motion in special relativity is obtained from Newtonian mechanics.

We study the causal dynamics of an embedded null horizon foliated by marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS) for a locally rotationally symmetric background spacetime subjected to linear perturbations. We introduce a simple procedure which characterizes the transition of the causal character of the null horizon. We apply our characterization scheme to non-dissipative perturbations of the Schwarzschild and spatially homogeneous backgrounds. For the latter, a linear equation of state was imposed. Assuming a harmonic decomposition of the linearized field equations, we clarify the variables of a formal solution to the linearized system that determine how the null horizon evolves. For both classes of backgrounds, the shear and vorticity 2-vectors are essential to the characterization, and their roles are made precise. Finally, we discuss aspects of the relationship between the characterizing conditions. Various properties related to the self-adjointness of the MOTS stability operator are extensively discussed.

Quantum gravity, as a fundamental theory of space-time, is expected to reveal how the universe may have started, perhaps during or before an inflationary epoch. It may then leave a potentially observable (but probably minuscule) trace in cosmic large-scale structures that seem to match well with predictions of inflation models. A systematic quest to derive such tiny effects using one approach, loop quantum gravity, has, however, led to unexpected obstacles. Such models remain incomplete, and it is not clear whether loop quantum gravity can be consistent as a full theory. But some surprising effects appear to be generic and would drastically alter our understanding of space-time at large density. These new high-curvature phenomena are a consequence of a widening gap between quantum gravity and ordinary quantum-field theory on a background.

The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft yielded the most precise navigation in deep space to date. However, while at heliocentric distance of $\sim$ 20--70 AU, the accuracies of their orbit reconstructions were limited by a small, anomalous, Doppler frequency drift. This drift can be interpreted as a sunward constant acceleration of $a_P = (8.74 \pm 1.33)\times 10^{-8}$ cm/s$^2$ which is now commonly known as the Pioneer anomaly. Here we discuss the Pioneer anomaly and present the next steps towards understanding of its origin. They are: 1) Analysis of the entire set of existing Pioneer 10 and 11 data, obtained from launch to the last telemetry received from Pioneer 10, on 27 April 2002, when it was at a heliocentric distance of 80 AU. This data could yield critical new information about the anomaly. If the anomaly is confirmed, 2) Development of an instrumental package to be operated on a deep space mission to provide an independent confirmation on the anomaly. If further confirmed, 3) Development of a deep-space experiment to explore the Pioneer anomaly in a dedicated mission with an accuracy for acceleration resolution at the level of $10^{-10}$ cm/s$^2$ in the extremely low frequency range. In Appendices we give a summary of the Pioneer anomaly's characteristics, outline in more detail the steps needed to perform an analysis of the entire Pioneer data set, and also discuss the possibility of extracting some useful information from the Cassini mission cruise data.

In this paper, we study the constraints on the $f(Q)=Q/(8\pi G) - \alpha \ln(Q/Q_0)$, symmetric teleparallel model using local measurements and gravitational wave mock standard sirens. Using observational local SNIa and BAO data and energy conditions, the logarithmic $f(Q)$ model is capable of explaining the cosmic late-time acceleration by geometrical means. This result suggests that the logarithmic symmetric teleparallel model could be a candidate to solve the cosmological constant problem. In the case of the simulated standard siren data, by using the performance of the future ET and LISA detectors, we expect to be able to measure the current Hubble constant $H_0$, and the matter content $\Omega_m$, with a precision better than 1\% and 6\%, respectively. Furthermore, we explore the predicted $f(Q)$ logarithmic model deviation from the standard GR using ET and LISA mock standard sirens. The ratio $d_L^{\text{gw}}(z)/d_L^{\text{em}}(z)$, which quantifies the deviation from GR gives us a significant deviation higher than 13\% at $z=1$, and it continues growing to reach a deviation higher than 18\% in its median value. Future standard siren data will be able to quantify the strength of the deviation from GR and hence whether a cosmology like the one implied by this $f(Q)$ model is feasible.

The tunneling behavior of fermions with half-integral spin from a higher dimensional charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole in de Rham, Gabadadze and Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity is investigated via a modified Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The results demonstrate that the modified thermodynamic quantities not only are related to the properties of the higher dimensional charged AdS black hole in dRGT massive gravity but also depend on the parameter $\beta$, the coupling constant $\sigma$ and the mass of emitted particles $m$. In addition, the modified Hawking temperature is higher than the original temperature; hence, the effect of MDR can significantly enhance the evolution of the black hole. Besides, our results can be verified using the modified Stefan-Boltzmann law.

We show how the motion of free material test particles in arbitrary spatial flows is easily determined within the context of ordinary vector calculus. This may be useful for everyone, including engineers and other non-specialists, when thinking about gravitational problems. It already has valid application to simple problems such as the problems of motion in rotating and accelerating frames and to the gravitational problem of the single spherically symmetric attractor. When applied to the two body gravitational problem, it may help us determine the actual direction of the flow.

Starting from the coupling of a relativistic quantum particle to the curved Schwarzschild space-time, we show that the Dirac--Schwarzschild problem has bound states and calculate their energies including relativistic corrections. Relativistic effects are shown to be suppressed by the gravitational fine-structure constant alpha_G = G m_1 m_2/(hbar c), where G is Newton's gravitational constant, c is the speed of light and m_1 and m_2 >> m_1 are the masses of the two particles. The kinetic corrections due to space-time curvature are shown to lift the familiar (n,j) degeneracy of the energy levels of the hydrogen atom. We supplement the discussion by a consideration of an attractive scalar potential, which, in the fully relativistic Dirac formalism, modifies the mass of the particle according to the replacement m -> m (1 - \lambda/r), where r is the radial coordinate. We conclude with a few comments regarding the (n,j) degeneracy of the energy levels, where n is the principal quantum number, and j is the total angular momentum, and illustrate the calculations by way of a numerical example.

An interaction between dark matter and dark energy is usually introduced by a phenomenological modification of the matter conservation equations, while the Einstein equations are left unchanged. Starting from some general and fundamental considerations, in this work it is shown that a coupling in the dark sector is likely to introduce new terms also in the gravitational dynamics. Specifically in the cosmological background equations a bulk dissipative pressure, characterizing viscous effects and able to suppress structure formation at small scales, should appear from the dark coupling. At the level of the perturbations the analysis presented in this work reveals instead the difficulties in properly defining the dark sector interaction from a phenomenological perspective.

We show that a flux of particles produced by tunneling through general marginally trapped surfaces may be perceived by some privileged observers. We discuss how this particle perception can be related to Hawking/Unruh radiation in specific cases. Our approach naturally leads to an expression for the effective surface gravity of marginally trapped surfaces. The procedure is applicable to general astrophysical and cosmological dynamical situations. Some practical examples for known and new cases are provided.

Recently $f(T)$ theories based on modifications of teleparallel gravity where torsion is the geometric object describing gravity instead of curvature have been proposed to explain the present cosmic accelerating expansion. The field equations are always second order, remarkably simpler than $f(R)$ theories. In analogy to the $f(R)$ theory, we consider here three types of $f(T)$ gravity, and find that all of them can give rise to cosmic acceleration with interesting features, respectively.

In a paper presented a few years ago, De Lorenci et al. showed, in the context of canonical quantum cosmology, a model which allowed space topology changes (Phys. Rev. D 56, 3329 (1997)). The purpose of this present work is to go a step further in that model, by performing some calculations only estimated there for several compact manifolds of constant negative curvature, such as the Weeks and Thurston spaces and the icosahedral hyperbolic space (Best space).

We discuss some global properties of cosmological spacetimes of de Sitter type, based on results with Lars Andersson obtained in hep-th/0202161. We relate the geometry and topology of conformal infinity to the occurrence of singularities in such spacetimes, thereby extending to a much broader context certain properties of some well-known cosmological models.

The Smarr relation plays an important role in black hole thermodynamics. It is often claimed that the Smarr relation can be written down simply by observing the scaling behavior of the various thermodynamical quantities. We point out that this is not necessarily so in the presence of dimensionful coupling constants, and discuss the issues involving the identification of thermodynamical variables.

In this paper we generalize the spin-raising and lowering operators of spin-weighted spherical harmonics to linear-in-$\gamma$ spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics where $\gamma$ is an additional parameter present in the second order ordinary differential equation governing these harmonics. One can then generalize these operators to higher powers in $\gamma$. Constructing these operators required calculating the $\ell$-, $s$- and $m$-raising and lowering operators (and various combinations of them) of spin-weighted spherical harmonics which have been calculated and shown explicitly in this paper.

This paper is devoted to explore some relativistic configurations of stellar objects for static spherically symmetric structures in the context of modified $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity, by exploiting the Tolman-Kuchowicz spacetime [1,2]. We develop the equations of motion for spherically symmetric spacetime in the presence of anisotropic matter distribution by considering the physically valid expressions of the metric potentials, $\nu=Br^2+2lnC$ and $\lambda=ln(1 + ar^2+br^4)$. To attain the values of the unknown constants we consider the observational data of $Cen~ X-3$, $EXO ~1785-248$ and $LMC~ X-4$ star models. Further, by using evaluated form of the solutions we provide many aspects which are described by the physical status like effective energy density, components of radial and transverse pressure, energy conditions, stability against equilibrium of the forces, speed of sound, mass-radius relation, surface redshift, compactness parameter, adiabatic index and anisotropic measurement. It is observed that all these features follow physically accepted patterns and the resulting outcome is in the experimental range which depicts the viability of our presented $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity models.

A model is suggested to unify the Einstein GR and Dirac Cosmology. There is one adjusted parameter $b_2$ in our model. After adjusting the parameter $b_2$ in the model by using the supernova data, we have calculated the gravitational constant $\bar G$ and the physical quantities of $a(t)$, $q(t)$ and $\rho_r(t)/ \rho_b(t)$ by using the present day quantities as the initial conditions and found that the equation of state parameter $w_{\theta}$ equals to -0.83, the ratio of the density of the addition creation $\Omega_{\Lambda}=0.8$ and the ratio of the density of the matter including multiplication creation, radiation and normal matter $\Omega_m =0.2$ at present. The results are self-consistent and in good agreement with present knowledge in cosmology. These results suggest that the addition creation and multiplication creation in Dirac cosmology play the role of the dark energy and dark matter.

We study the role played by multiply-connectedness in the time evolution of the energy E(t) of a radiating system that lies in static flat space-time manifolds M_4 whose t=const spacelike sections M_3 are compact in at least one spatial direction. The radiation reaction equation of the radiating source is derived for the case where M_3 has any non-trivial flat topology, and an exact solution is obtained. We also show that when the spacelike sections are multiply-connected flat 3-manifolds the energy E(t) exhibits a reverberation pattern with discontinuities in the derivative of E(t) and a set of relative minima and maxima, followed by a growth of E(t). It emerges from this result that the compactness in at least one spatial direction of Minkowski space-time is sufficient to induce this type of topological reverberation, making clear that our radiating system is topologically fragile. An explicit solution of the radiation reaction equation for the case where M_3 = R^2 x S^1 is discussed, and graphs which reveal how the energy varies with the time are presented and analyzed.

This paper studies the decay of a large, closed domain wall in a closed universe. Such walls can form in the presence of a broken, discrete symmetry. We study a novel process of quantum decay for such a wall, in which the vacuum fluctuates from one discrete state to another throughout one half of the universe, so that the wall decays into pure field energy. Equivalently, the fluctuation can be thought of as the nucleation of a second closed domain wall of zero size, followed by its growth by quantum tunnelling and its collision with the first wall, annihilating both. We therefore study the 2-wall system coupled to a spherically symmetric gravitational field. We derive a simple form of the 2-wall action, use Dirac quantization, obtain the 2-wall wave function for annihilation, find from it the barrier factor for this quantum tunneling, and thereby get the decay probability. This is the second paper of a series.

The search for quantum gravity fingerprints in currently available cosmological data that have their origin from the Planck era is of growing interest due to major recent progress both in the theoretical modelling as well as the observational precision. Unsurprisingly, the theoretical predictions are very sensitive to the quantum effects that occur close to the classical big bang singularity. It is therefore of substantial interest to describe these effects as precisely as possible. This is the first in a series of papers that aim at improving on the treatment of quantum effects that arise due to backreactions between matter and geometry. The technique we employ is space adiabatic perturbation theory (SAPT) in the form developed in seminal papers by Panati, Spohn and Teufel. SAPT is a generalisation of the more familiar Born Oppenheimer Approximation (BOA) that applies well in systems that allow a split of the degrees of freedom into two sets that propagate on rather different time scales such as the homogeneous and inhomogeneous field modes in cosmology. We will show that this leads to presently neglected correction terms in the quantum Friedman equations. In the present paper we adapt and generalise SAPT to the hybrid approach to quantum cosmology developed by Mena Marugan et al. that allows for a systematic quantum separation of the (in)homogeneous modes. Since SAPT was developed for quantum mechanics rather than quantum field theory, several challenges have to be met.

Two-dimensional images in time and frequency are used as input. Masses in the range between 0.01 Msun and 20 Msun are considered. We explore neural networks trained with input information from a single interferometer, pairs of interferometers, or all three interferometers together, indicating that the use of the maximum information available leads to an improved performance. A scan over the O3 data set using the convolutional neural networks for detection results into no significant excess from an only-noise hypothesis. The results are translated into 90% confidence level upper limits on the merger rate as a function of the mass parameters of the binary system.

In flat space-time, sigma-model strings and textures are both unstable to collapse and subsequent decay. With sufficient cosmological expansion, however, they are stable in a generalized sense: a small perturbation will cause them to change their shape, but they do not decay. The current rate of expansion is sufficient to stabilize strings, but not textures.

This paper focuses on the analysis of the gravitational instability in presence of bulk viscosity both in Newtonian regime and in the fully-relativistic approach. The standard Jeans Mechanism and the Quasi-Isotropic Solution are treated expressing the bulk-viscosity coefficient $\zeta$ as a power-law of the fluid energy density $\rho$, i.e., $\zeta=\zo\rho^{s}$. In the Newtonian regime, the perturbation evolution is founded to be damped by viscosity and the top-down mechanism of structure fragmentation is suppressed. The value of the Jeans Mass remains unchanged also in presence of viscosity. In the relativistic approach, we get a power-law solution existing only in correspondence to a restricted domain of $\zo$.

Transient signals of instrumental and environmental origins ("glitches") in gravitational wave data elevate the false alarm rate of searches for astrophysical signals and reduce their sensitivity. Glitches that directly overlap astrophysical signals hinder their detection and worsen parameter estimation errors. As the fraction of data occupied by detectable astrophysical signals will be higher in next generation detectors, such problematic overlaps could become more frequent. These adverse effects of glitches can be mitigated by estimating and subtracting them out from the data, but their unpredictable waveforms and large morphological diversity pose a challenge. Subtraction of glitches using data from auxiliary sensors as predictors works but not for the majority of cases. Thus, there is a need for nonparametric glitch mitigation methods that do not require auxiliary data, work for a large variety of glitches, and have minimal effect on astrophysical signals in the case of overlaps. In order to cope with the high rate of glitches, it is also desirable that such methods be computationally fast. We show that adaptive spline fitting, in which the placement of free knots is optimized to estimate both smooth and non-smooth curves in noisy data, offers a promising approach to satisfying these requirements for broadband short-duration glitches, the type that appear quite frequently. The method is demonstrated on glitches drawn from three distinct classes in the Gravity Spy database as well as on the glitch that overlapped the binary neutron star signal GW170817. The impact of glitch subtraction on the GW170817 signal, or those like it injected into the data, is seen to be negligible.

Transient signals of instrumental and environmental origins ("glitches") in gravitational wave data elevate the false alarm rate of searches for astrophysical signals and reduce their sensitivity. Glitches that directly overlap astrophysical signals hinder their detection and worsen parameter estimation errors. As the fraction of data occupied by detectable astrophysical signals will be higher in next generation detectors, such problematic overlaps could become more frequent. These adverse effects of glitches can be mitigated by estimating and subtracting them out from the data, but their unpredictable waveforms and large morphological diversity pose a challenge. Subtraction of glitches using data from auxiliary sensors as predictors works but not for the majority of cases. Thus, there is a need for nonparametric glitch mitigation methods that do not require auxiliary data, work for a large variety of glitches, and have minimal effect on astrophysical signals in the case of overlaps. In order to cope with the high rate of glitches, it is also desirable that such methods be computationally fast. We show that adaptive spline fitting, in which the placement of free knots is optimized to estimate both smooth and non-smooth curves in noisy data, offers a promising approach to satisfying these requirements for broadband short-duration glitches, the type that appear quite frequently. The method is demonstrated on glitches drawn from three distinct classes in the Gravity Spy database as well as on the glitch that overlapped the binary neutron star signal GW170817. The impact of glitch subtraction on the GW170817 signal, or those like it injected into the data, is seen to be negligible.

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation has been and still is one of the most widely discussed "alternative theories" to General Relativity (GR). Despite nearly half a century of its age, it continues to attract renewed interests of not only theorists but also experimentalists when we now face such issues like the accelerating universe and possible time-variability of the fine-structure constant, both viewed as something beyond the standard GR. It appears that the theory provides realistic results sometimes even beyond what is expected from the quintessence approach aimed primarily to be more phenomenological. It seems nevertheless as if some of the unique aspects of this theory are not fully understood, even leading to occasional confusions. I try in my lectures, partly using the contents of our book (Y.F. and K. Maeda, Scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, Cambridge University Press, 2003), to discuss some of the most crucial concepts starting from elementary introduction to the theory. Particular emphases will be placed on the unique features of the nonminimal coupling term, the roles of the conformal transformations together with the choice of a physical conformal frame and the value of the coupling strength to the matter. Readers are advised to refer to the references for more details.

The gravitational properties of astrophysical objects depend sensitively on their internal structure. In Newtonian theory, the gravitational potential of a rotating star can be fully described by an infinite number of multipole moments of its mass distribution. Recently, this infinite number of moments for uniformly-rotating stars were shown semi-analytically to be expressible in terms of just the first three: the mass, the spin, and the quadrupole moment of the star. The relations between the various lower multipole moments were additionally shown to depend weakly on the equation of state, when considering neutron stars and assuming single polytropic equations of state. Here we extend this result in two ways. First, we show that the universality also holds for realistic equations of state, thus relaxing the need to use single polytropes. Second, we derive purely analytical universal relations by perturbing the equations of structure about an $n=0$ polytrope that reproduce semi-analytic results to $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$. We also find that the linear-order perturbation vanishes in some cases, which provides further evidence and a deeper understanding of the universality.

Loop Quantum Gravity is now a well established approach to quantum gravity. One of the main challenges still faced by the theory is constructing a consistent dynamics which would lead back to the standard dynamics of the gravitational field at large scales. Here we will review the recent U(N) framework for Loop Quantum Gravity and the new spinor representation (that provides a classical setting for the U(N) framework). Then, we will apply these techniques to a simple model in order to propose a dynamics for a symmetry reduced sector of the theory. Furthermore, we will explore certain analogies of this model with Loop Quantum Cosmology.

After presenting some exact solutions without spinors, we investigate the minimal spinor couplings to the model and in conclusion we can not find any nontrivial dilaton couplings to spinor.

In homogeneous universes the propagation of quantum fields gives rise to pair creation of quanta with opposite momenta. When computing expectation values of operators, the correlations between these quanta are averaged out and no space-time structure is obtained. In this article, by an appropriate use of wave packets, we reveal the space-time structure of these correlations. We show that every pair emerges from vacuum configurations which are torn apart so as to give rise to two semi-classical currents: that carried by the particle and that of its `partner'. The partner's current lives behind the Hubble horizon centered around the particle. Hence any measurement performed within a Hubble patch would correspond to an uncorrelated density matrix, as for Hawking radiation. However, when inflation stops, the Hubble radius grows and eventually encompasses the partner. When this is realized the coherence is recovered within a patch. Our analysis applies to rare pair creation events as well as to cases leading to arbitrary high occupation numbers. Hence it might be applied to primordial gravitational waves which evolve into highly squeezed states.

Quantum creation processes during the very rapid early expansion of the universe are believed to give rise to temperature anisotropies and polarization patterns in the CMB radiation. These have been observed by satellites such as COBE, WMAP, and PLANCK, and by bolometric instruments placed near the South Pole by the BICEP collaborations. The expected temperature anisotropies are well-confirmed. The B-mode polarization patterns in the CMB are currently under measurement jointly by the PLANCK and BICEP groups to determine the extent to which the B-modes can be attributed to gravitational waves from the creation of gravitons in the earliest universe. It was during 1962 that I proved that quanta of the minimally-coupled scalar field were created by the general expanding FLRW universe. This was relevant also to the creation of quantized perturbations of the gravitational field, since these perturbations satisfied linear field equations that could be quantized in the same way as the minimally-coupled scalar field equation. In fact, in 1946, E.M. Lifshitz had considered the classical Einstein gravitational field in FLRW expanding universes and had shown that the classical linearized Einstein field equations reduced, in what is now known as the Lifshitz gauge, to two separate classical minimally-coupled massless scalar field equations. These field equations of Lifshitz, when quantized, correspond to the field equations for massless gravitons, one equation for each of the two independent polarization components of the spin-2 massless graviton. I will discuss this further in this article.1 1 Plenary Lecture given September 2, 2014 at the ERE2014 Conference in Valencia, Spain

We argue that massless gravitons in all even dimensional de Sitter (dS) spacetimes higher than two admit a linear memory effect arising from their propagation inside the null cone. Assume that gravitational waves (GWs) are being generated by an isolated source, and over only a finite period of time. Outside of this time interval, suppose the shear-stress of the GW source becomes negligible relative to its energy-momentum and its mass quadrupole moments settle to static values. We then demonstrate, the transverse-traceless (TT) GW contribution to the perturbation of any dS$_{4+2n}$ written in a conformally flat form -- after the source has ceased and the primary GW train has passed -- amounts to a spacetime constant shift in the flat metric proportional to the difference between the TT parts of the source's final and initial mass quadrupole moments. As a byproduct, we present solutions to Einstein's equations linearized about de Sitter backgrounds of all dimensions greater than three. We then point out there is a similar but approximate tail induced linear GW memory effect in 4D matter dominated universes. Our work here serves to improve upon and extend the 4D cosmological results of arXiv:1504.06337, which in turn preceded complementary work by Bieri, Garfinkle and Yau (arXiv:1509.01296) and by Kehagias and Riotto (arXiv:1602.02653).

We begin by adopting the String-Randers optical metric, then we apply the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to the optical geometry and derive the leading terms of the deflection angle in the equatorial plane. Calculations shows that light deflection is affected by the intrinsic spin of the cosmic string and torsion.

We study the effects of thermal fluctuations on the thermodynamics of higher dimensional AdS black hole. We exploit such logarithmic corrected quantities to construct Van der Walls black holes solution and study the effects of logarithmic correction on the Van der Waals black holes. We also investigate the effect of thermal fluctuations on the equation of state. We find that the Van der Waals black hole is completely stable in the presence of the logarithmic correction.

We provide an in-depth discussion of the gravitational potential for the Kuzmin disk within this new approach. Specifically, we derive an integral and a series representation for the potential, we verify its asymptotic behavior at large scales, and we provide illuminating plots of the resulting equipotential surfaces.

A gravitational resonant bar detector with a large scale Fabry-Perot cavity as an optical read out and a mechanical displacement transformer is considered. We calculate, in a fully analytical way, the final receiver bandwidth in which the potential sensitivity, limited only by the bar thermal noise, is maintained despite the additional thermal noise of the transformer and the additive noise of the optical readout. We discuss also an application to the OGRAN project, where the bar is instrumented with a 2m long FP cavity.
