Gravitational waves (GWs) provide a unique opportunity to test General Relativity (GR) in the highly dynamical, strong-field regime. So far, the majority of the tests of GR with GW signals have been carried out following parametrized, theory-independent approaches. An alternative avenue consists in developing inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) waveform models in specific beyond-GR theories of gravity, by combining analytical and numerical-relativity results. In this work, we provide the first example of a full IMR waveform model in a beyond-GR theory, focusing on Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) gravity. This theory has attracted particular attention due to its rich phenomenology for binary black-hole (BH) mergers, thanks to the presence of non-trivial scalar fields. Starting from the state-of-the art, effective-one-body (EOB) multipolar waveform model for spin-precessing binary BHs SEOBNRv5PHM, we include theory-specific corrections to the EOB Hamiltonian, the metric and scalar energy fluxes, the GW modes, the quasi-normal-mode (QNM) spectrum and the mass and spin of the remnant BH. We also propose a way to marginalize over the uncertainty in the merger morphology with additional nuisance parameters. Interestingly, we observe that changes in the frequency of the ringdown waveform due to the final mass and spin corrections are significantly larger than those due to ESGB corrections to the QNM spectrum. By performing Bayesian parameter estimation for the GW events GW190412, GW190814 and GW230529_181500, we place constraints on the fundamental coupling of the theory ($\sqrt{\alpha_{\mathrm{GB}}} \lesssim 0.31~\mathrm{km}$ at 90% confidence). The bound could be improved by one order of magnitude by observing a single "golden" binary system with next-generation ground-based GW detectors.

This paper studies the cosmology of accelerating expansion of the universe in modified teleparallel gravity theory. We discuss the cosmology of $f(T,B)$ gravity theory and its implication to the new general form of the equation of state parameter $w_{TB}$ for explaining the late-time accelerating expansion of the universe without the need for the cosmological constant scenario. We examine the numerical value of $w_{TB}$ in different paradigmatic $f(T,B)$ gravity models. In those models, the numerical result of $w_{TB}$ is favored with observations in the presence of the torsion scalar T associated with a boundary term B and shows the accelerating expansion of the universe.

With a suitable decomposition of its energy-momentum tensor into pressureless matter and a vacuum type term, we investigate the spherical gravitational collapse of a minimally coupled, self-interacting scalar field, showing that it collapses to a singularity. The formed blackhole has a mass $M \sim 1/m$ (in Planck units), where $m$ is the mass of the scalar field. If the latter has the axion mass, $m \sim 10^{-5}$ eV, the former has a mass $M \sim 10^{-5} M_{\odot}$.

The Hawking-Perry-Strominger (HPS) work [1] states a new controversial idea about the black hole (BH) information paradox [2-5] where BHs maximally entropize and encode information in their event horizon area [6,7], with no "hair" were thought to reveal information outside but angular momentum, mass and electric charge only [8,9] in a unique quantum gravity (QG) vacuum state. This new idea invokes new conservation laws involving gravitation and electromagnetism [10,11], to generate different QG vacua and preserve more information in hair implants. In the context of black holes and the HPS proposal we find that BH photon hair implants can be spatially shaped ad hoc and encode structured and densely organized information on the event horizon involving novel aspect in the discussion a particular aspect of EM fields, namely the spatial information of the field associated to its orbital angular momentum. BHs can have "curly", twisted, soft-hair implants with vorticity where structured information is holographically encoded in the event horizon in an organized way.

The quest for a consistent theory for quantum gravity is one of the most challenging problems in theoretical high-energy physics. An often-used approach is to describe the gravitational degrees of freedom by the metric tensor or related variables, and finding a way to quantise this. In the canonical tensor model, the gravitational degrees of freedom are encoded in a tensorial quantity $P_{abc}$, and this quantity is subsequently quantised. This makes the quantisation much more straightforward mathematically, but the interpretation of this tensor as a spacetime is less evident. In this work we take a first step towards fully understanding the relationship to spacetime. By considering $P_{abc}$ as the generator of an algebra of functions, we first describe how we can recover the topology and the measure of a compact Riemannian manifold. Using the tensor rank decomposition, we then generalise this principle in order to have a well-defined notion of the topology and geometry for a large class of tensors $P_{abc}$. We provide some examples of the emergence of a topology and measure of both exact and perturbed Riemannian manifolds, and of a purely algebraically-defined space called the semi-local circle.

It is shown that the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator with damping, considered by Nesterenko, is a special case of a more general oscillator that has not only a first order, but also a third order friction term. If the corresponding damping constants, \alpha\ and \beta, are both positive and below certain critical values, then the system is stable. In particular, if \alpha = - \beta, then we have the unstable Nesterenko's oscillator

The Gravastar ( or the Gravitational Vacuum Star ) is a very serious alternatives proposed to the principle of the Black Hole, the model of which was originally developed by Mazur and Mottola. A Gravastar is an astronomically hypothetically condensed object which is a gravitationally dark vacuum star or a gravitational vacuum condensate star, which is singularity free, spherically symmetric and also super compact. The current study concerns about the model of the Gravastar in the modified $f(R,L_{m}, T)$ gravity considering the form $f(R,L_{m},T) = R + {\alpha}TL_{m} $. From Mazur-Mottola \cite{Mazur}-\cite{Mottola}, we get to know that a Gravastar model has three distinct regions having various Equations of State (EoS). We have inquired into the interior portion with the space-time considering $ \rho = - p $, for the dark sector of the interior region, here the negative matter-energy density exerting a repulsive force on the immediate thin shell with the EoS $ \rho = p $ where it is considered as an ultra-relativistic fluid. We have studied the properties such as energy density, proper length, total energy and entropy. Next comes the vacuum exterior region of the Gravastar which is being described by the Schwarzschild-de-Sitter solution. And also from Darmois-Israel formalism, we have probed the junction connecting the inner and the outer surfaces of the Gravastar.

The perihelion precession, the deflection of light, and the radar echo delay are classical tests of General Relativity here used to probe brane world topologically charged black holes in a f(R) bulk and to constrain the parameter that arises from the Shiromizu-Maeda-Sasaki procedure applied to a f(R) bulk as well. The existing Solar system observational data constrain the possible values of the tidal charge parameter and the effective cosmological constant including f(R) brane world effects. We show that the observational/experimental data for both perihelion precession and radar echo delay make the black hole space of parameters to be more strict than the ones for the Dadhich, Maartens, Papadopoulos and Rezania (DMPR) black hole geometry. Furthermore, the deflection of light constrains the tidal charge parameter similarly as the DMPR black holes due to a peculiarity in the equation of motion.

We present new results concerning the existence of static, electrically charged, perfect fluid spheres that have a regular interior and are arbitrarily close to a maximally charged black-hole state. These configurations are described by exact solutions of Einstein's field equations. A family of these solutions had already be found (de Felice et al., 1995) but here we generalize that result to cases with different charge distribution within the spheres and show, in an appropriate parameter space, that the set of such physically reasonable solutions has a non zero measure. We also perform a perturbation analysis and identify the solutions which are stable against adiabatic radial perturbations. We then suggest that the stable configurations can be considered as classic models of charged particles. Finally our results are used to show that a conjecture of Kristiansson et al. (1998) is incorrect.

These objects are exact self-consistent solutions in semiclassical gravity that incorporate the backreaction of the renormalized stress-energy tensor (RSET) of quantum fields in vacuum. We arrive at stars of striking qualitative agreement through two independent modelings of the RSET, evidencing the generality and robustness of this result. The main physical properties of these novel black hole mimickers are reviewed.

We propose a cosmological model in the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity (PG). The gravitational Lagrangian is quadratic in curvature and torsion. In our specific model, the Lagrangian contains (i) the curvature scalar $R$ and the curvature pseudo-scalar $X$ linearly and quadratically (including an $RX$ term) and (ii) pieces quadratic in the torsion {\it vector} $\cal V$ and the torsion {\it axial} vector $\cal A$ (including a ${\cal V}{\cal A}$ term). We show generally that in quadratic PG models we have nearly the same number of parity conserving terms (`world') and of parity violating terms (`shadow world'). This offers new perspectives in cosmology for the coupling of gravity to matter and antimatter. Our specific model generalizes the fairly realistic `torsion cosmologies' of Shie-Nester-Yo (2008) and Chen et al.\ (2009). With a Friedman type ansatz for an orthonormal coframe and a Lorentz connection, we derive the two field equations of PG in an explicit form and discuss their general structure in detail. In particular, the second field equation can be reduced to first order ordinary differential equations for the curvature pieces $R(t)$ and $X(t)$. Including these along with certain relations obtained from the first field equation and curvature definitions, we present a first order system of equations suitable for numerical evaluation. This is deferred to the second, numerical part of this paper.

In terms of the complex angular momentum method, we compute the absorption cross section by analyzing a massless test scalar field around conformally related black holes. At first, we investigate circular null geodesics and thereby prove a precondition for calculating the absorption cross section in the context of conformally related black holes. Then we use the WKB approximation method to derive the analytic expression of Regge frequency and the oscillation part of absorption cross sections. We find that this oscillation part depends on the scale factor of conformal transformations. By taking the conformally related Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole as an example, we show that this regular black hole has substantially distinctive absorption behavior compared with singular black holes. Our result provides a new approach to distinguish a regular black hole from a singular one.

We consider generic, or "dirty" (surrounded by matter), stationary rotating black holes with axial symmetry. The restrictions are found on the asymptotic form of metric in the vicinity of non-extremal, extremal and ultra-extremal horizons, imposed by the conditions of regularity of increasing strength: boundedness on the horizon of the Ricci scalar, of scalar quadratic curvature invariants, and of the components of the curvature tensor in the tetrad attached to a falling observer. We show, in particular, that boundedness of the Ricci scalar implies the "rigidity" of the horizon's rotation in all cases, while the finiteness of quadratic invariants leads to the constancy of the surface gravity. We discuss the role of quasiglobal coordinate r that is emphasized by the conditions of regularity. Further restrictions on the metric are formulated in terms of subsequent coefficients of expansion of metric functions by r. The boundedness of the tetrad components of curvature tensor for an observer crossing the horizon is shown to lead in the horizon limit to diagonalization of Einstein tensor in the frame of zero angular momentum observer on a circular orbit (ZAMO frame) for horizons of all degrees of extremality.

Moreover, we obtain the Hawking temperatures and the black hole ones of these dilatonic black holes. However, even though the minimal flat embedding structures are mathematically meaningful, through this minimal embeddings the proper entropies are shown to be unattainable, contrast to the cases of other black holes in (2+1) or much higher dimensions.

We theoretically study the entanglement of Hawking radiation pairs emitted by an analogue black hole. We find that this entanglement can be measured by the experimentally accessible density-density correlation function, vastly simplifying the measurement. We find that while the Hawking radiation exiting the black hole might be Planck-distributed, the correlations between the Hawking radiation and the partner particles has a distribution which is weaker but broader than Planckian. Thus, the high energy tail of the distribution of Hawking radiation should be entangled, whereas the low energy part should not be. This confirms a previous numerical study. The full Peres-Horodecki criterion is considered, as well as a simpler criterion in the stationary, homogeneous case. Our method applies to systems which are sufficiently cold that the thermal phonons can be neglected.

We have assumed that in a physical universe a blackhole is created some where. We conjecture that this blackhole will then separate itself from the physical universe and will build up an extra dimensional entity associated with the physical universe. The extra dimensional entity we suppose to be orthogonal to the physical universe. We further conjecture that this blackhole is a Schwartzschild blackhole. We assume that this physical universe and the blackhole span a seven dimensional space with a common time coordinate. We then generate the Einstein equation. Using the time-blackhole and the time-time component of the equation we show that the Hubble parameter is positive and time dependent if we conjecture that both scale factor and the radius of the blackhole reduces exponetially. Under the same assumption we have also calculated the deacceleration parameter and shown that under certain constrain the universe accelerates.

In this paper, we construct generic, spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes and check their stabilities using the unified dark sector, including dark energy and dark matter. We give a master equation, from which one can recover, as a special case, other stability solutions for generic spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes. In this context, we consider a particular solution; namely we construct an effective thin-shell wormhole under Lorentz symmetry breaking. We explore stability analyses using different models of the modified Chaplygin gas with constraints from cosmological observations such as seventh-year full Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe data points, type Ia supernovae, and baryon acoustic oscillation. In all these models we find stable solutions by choosing suitable values for the parameters of the Lorentz symmetry breaking effect.

We show that a corpuscular description of gravity can lead to an inflationary scenario similar to Starobinsky's model without requiring the introduction of the inflaton field. All relevant properties are determined by the number of gravitons in the cosmological condensate or, equivalently, by their Compton length. In particular, the relation between the Hubble parameter $H$ and its time derivative $\dot H$ required by CMB observations at the end of inflation, as well as the (minimum) initial value of the slow-roll parameter, are naturally obtained from the Compton size of the condensate.

Since the Einstein field equations are modified in 3+1 dimensions in the $f(R)$ theory of gravity, we have studied some possible solutions with different forms of shape function and $f(R)$ function. We show that choosing $f(R)$ or metric functions arbitrarily may lead to a conflict for wormhole solutions. Some previous solutions are discussed which verify the contradiction throughout the equations. We conclude that wormhole solutions in the context of $f(R)$ gravity should be revisited.

We derive the leading Lorentz-violating corrections to the time-delay and Doppler shift signals, for a light ray passing near a massive body. It is demonstrated that anisotropic coefficients for Lorentz violation control a time-dependent behavior of these signals that is qualitatively different from the conventional case in GR. Estimates of sensitivities to gravity-sector coefficients in the SME are given for current and future experiments, including the recent Cassini solar conjunction experiment.

We compute the accuracy at which a LISA-like space-based gravitational wave detector will be able to observe deviations from General Relativity in the low frequency approximation. To do so, we introduce six correction parameters that account for modified gravity in the second post-Newtonian gravitational wave phase for inspiralling supermassive black hole binaries with spin precession on quasi-circular orbits. Our implementation can be regarded as a subset of the ppE formalism developed by Yunes and Pretorius, being able to investigate also next-to-leading order effects. In order to find error distributions for the alternative theory parameters, we use the Fisher information formalism and carry out Monte Carlo simulations for 17 different binary black hole mass configurations in the range 10^5 Msun < M < 10^8 Msun with 10^3 randomly distributed points in the parameter space each, comparing the full (FWF) and restricted (RWF) version of the gravitational waveform. We find that the binaries can roughly be separated into two groups: one with low (< ~10^7 Msun) and one with high total masses (> ~10^7 Msun). The RWF errors on the alternative theory parameters are two orders of magnitude higher than the FWF errors for high-mass binaries while almost comparable for low-mass binaries. Due to dilution of the available information, the accuracy of the binary parameters is reduced by factors of a few, except for the luminosity distance which is affected more seriously in the high-mass regime. As an application and to compare our research with previous work, we compute an optimal lower bound on the graviton Compton wavelength which is increased by a factor of ~1.6 when using the FWF.

Multimessenger astronomy incorporating gravitational radiation is a new and exciting field that will potentially provide significant results and exciting challenges in the near future. With advanced interferometric gravitational wave detectors (LCGT, LIGO, Virgo) we will have the opportunity to investigate sources of gravitational waves that are also expected to be observable through other messengers, such as electromagnetic (gamma-rays, x-rays, optical, radio) and/or neutrino emission. The LIGO-Virgo interferometer network has already been used for multimessenger searches for gravitational radiation that have produced insights on cosmic events. The simultaneous observation of electromagnetic and/or neutrino emission could be important evidence in the first direct detection of gravitational radiation. Knowledge of event time, source sky location, and the expected frequency range of the signal enhances our ability to search for the gravitational radiation signatures with an amplitude closer to the noise floor of the detector. Presented here is a summary of the status of LIGO-Virgo multimessenger detection efforts, along with a discussion of questions that might be resolved using the data from advanced or third generation gravitational wave detector networks.

We show that the motion of the neutral masses in an accretion disk orbiting a black hole creates a general-relativistic magnetic-like (gravitomagnetic) field that vertically accelerates neutral particles near the accretion disk upward and then inward toward the axis of the accretion disk. Even though this gravitomagnetic field alone does not achieve collimated jets, it is a novel means to identify one general relativistic effect from a much more complicated problem. In addition, as the accelerated material above or below the accretion disk nears the axis with a nearly vertical direction, a frame-dragging effect twists the trajectories around the axis thus contributing to the formation of collimated bipolar jets.

Important classes of null geodesics and hidden symmetries in the Sen black hole are investigated. First, we obtain the principal null geodesics and circular photon orbits. Then, an irreducible rank-two Killing tensor and a conformal Killing tensor are derived, which represent the hidden symmetries. Analyzing the properties of Killing tensors, we clarify why the Hamilton-Jacobi and wave equations are separable in this spacetime. We also investigate the gravitational capture of photons by the Sen black hole and compare the result with those by the various charged/rotating black holes and naked singularities in the Kerr-Newman family. For these black holes and naked singularities, we show the capture regions in a two dimensional impact parameter space (or equivalently the ``shadows'' observed at infinity) to form a variety of shapes such as the disk, circle, dot, arc, and their combinations.

Excited state soliton stars are studied numerically for the first time. The stability of spherically symmetric S-branch excited state oscillatons under radial perturbations is investigated using a 1D code. We find that these stars are inherently unstable either migrating to the ground state or collapsing to black holes. Higher excited state configurations are observed to cascade through intermediate excited states during their migration to the ground state. This is similar to excited state boson stars. Ground state oscillatons are then studied in full 3D numerical relativity. Finding the appropriate gauge condition for the dynamic oscillatons is much more challenging than in the case of boson stars. Different slicing conditions are explored, and a customized gauge condition that approximates polar slicing in spherical symmetry is implemented. Comparisons with 1D results and convergence tests are performed. The behavior of these stars under small axisymmetric perturbations is studied and gravitational waveforms are extracted. We find that the gravitational waves damp out on a short timescale, enabling us to obtain the complete waveform. This work is a starting point for the evolution of real scalar field systems with arbitrary symmetries.

Our Universe may be a domain separated by physical phase boundaries from other domain-Universes with different vacuum energy density and matter content. The coexistence of different quantum vacua is perhaps regulated by the exchange of global fermionic charges or by fermion zero modes on the phase boundary. An example would be a static de-Sitter Universe embedded in an asymptotically flat spacetime.

Contrary to common belief, there are perspectives for generalizing the notion of positive and negative frequency in minisuperspace quantum cosmology, even when the wave equation does not admit symmetries. We outline a strategy in doing so when the potential is positive. Also, an underlying unitarity structure shows up. Starting in the framework of the Klein-Gordon type quantization, I am led to a result that relies on global features on the model, and that is possibly related to structures encountered in the refined algebraic quantization scheme.

We discuss the asymptotic structure of null infinity in five dimensional space-time. Since it is known that the conformal infinity is not useful for odd higher dimensions, we shall employ the coordinate based method like the Bondi coordinate firstly introduced in four dimensions. Then we define the null infinity and identify the asymptotic symmetry. We also derive the Bondi mass expression and show its conservation law.

A substantial improvement in the accuracy of G-dot tests (The dot denotes the time derivative.) would make it realistic to speak in terms of a measurement of G-dot, rather than merely a smaller upper bound on |G-dot|. We show that the accuracy delta|G-dot/G| \approx 10^-14 yr^-1 may be sufficient, given the accuracy of other cosmological parameters, to observe effects predicted by higher dimensions theories and, hence, to discriminate among different models. The \.G design goal for the SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) mission is delta(G-dot/G) \approx 10^-14 yr^-1.

Charged static and rotating objects as solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations are obtained and studied in the present work. The full spacetime geometry is obtained by matching two spacetime regions, an interior region containing electrified matter and an exterior electrovacuum region. In the static case, the interior region contains a spherically symmetric distribution of matter constituted by a de Sitter-type perfect fluid with electric charge, whose energy density profile is given by a Tolman-like relation. The interior solution is smoothly matched with the exterior Reissner-Nordstr\"om electrovacuum solution, thus producing different kinds of objects, such as charged regular black holes and overcharged tension stars, that we analyze in detail. We also investigate the connection between the present static solution and the regular black holes with a de Sitter core presented in the work by Lemos and Zanchin [Phys. Rev. D 83, 124005 (2011)]. We then employ the G\"urses-G\"ursey metric and apply the Newman-Janis algorithm to construct a charged rotating interior geometry from the static interior solution. The resulting interior metric and the electromagnetic field are smoothly matched to the exterior Kerr-Newman electrovacuum solution, thus producing a regular interior for the exterior Kerr-Newman geometry. The main properties of the complete rotating solution are analyzed in detail, showing that different kinds of rotating objects, such as charged rotating black holes and other charged rotating objects, also emerge in this solution.

Spherically symmetric solutions in F(R) theories in astronomical systems with rising energy density are studied. The range of parameters is established for which the flat space-time approximation for the background metric is valid. For the solutions in which the curvature scalar oscillates with large amplitude and high frequency, found in our previous papers, it is shown that the analysis of the Jeans instability is strongly modified. It is discovered that for large astronomical objects modified gravity can be repulsive, so such objects shrink forming relatively thin shells instead of quasi uniform bodies. This may explain the formation of cosmic voids.

We investigate the late-time cosmological behaviour of scalar-tensor theories with a universal multiplicative coupling between the scalar field and the matter Lagrangian in the matter era. This class of theory encompasses the case of the massless string dilaton (see Damour and Polyakov, General Relativity and Gravitation, 26, 1171) as well as a theory with an intrinsic decoupling mechanism in the solar system (see Minazzoli and Hees, Phys. Rev. D 88, 041504). The cosmological evolution is studied in the General Relativity limit justified by solar system constraints on the gravitation theory. The behaviour of these cosmological evolutions are then compared to two types of observations: the constraints on temporal variations of the constants of Nature and the distance-luminosity measurements. In particular, the non-minimal coupling implies that the distance-luminosity relation is modified compared to General Relativity. Theories producing a cosmological behaviour in agreement with these observations are identified.

The entropy of a spherically symmetric distribution of matter in self-equilibrium is calculated. When gravitational effects are neglected, the entropy of the system is proportional to its volume. As effects due to gravitational self-interactions become more important, the entropy acquires a correction term and is no longer purely volume scaling. In the limit that the boundary of the system approaches its event horizon, the total entropy of the system is proportional to its area. The scaling laws of the system's thermodynamical quantities are identical to those of a black hole, even though the system does not possess an event horizon.

In this work we obtain a nondemolition variable for the case in which a charged particle moves in the electric and gravitational fields of a spherical body. Afterwards we consider the continuous monitoring of this nondemolition parameter, and calculate along the ideas of the so called restricted path integral formalism, the corresponding propagator. Using these results the probabilities associated with the possible measurement outputs are evaluated. The limit of our results, as the resolution of the measuring device goes to zero, is analyzed, and the dependence of the corresponding propagator upon the strength of the electric and gravitational fields are commented. The role that mass plays in the corresponding results, and its possible connection with the equivalence principle at quantum level, are studied.

We explicitly prove the horizon-entropy increase law for both causal and quasi-locally defined horizons in scalar-tensor and $f(R)$ gravity theories. Contrary to causal event horizons, future outer trapping horizons are not conformally invariant and we provide a modification of trapping horizons to complete the proof, using the idea of generalised entropy. This modification means they are no longer foliated by marginally outer trapped surfaces but fixes the location of the horizon under a conformal transformation. We also discuss the behaviour of horizons in "veiled" general relativity and show, using this new definition, how to locate cosmological horizons in flat Minkowski space with varying units, which is physically identified with a spatially flat FLRW spacetime.

Ricci-flat spacetimes of signature (2,q) with q=2,3,4 are constructed which admit irreducible Killing tensors of rank-3 or rank-4. The construction relies upon the Eisenhart lift applied to Drach's two-dimensional integrable systems which is followed by the oxidation with respect to free parameters. In four dimensions, some of our solutions are anti-self-dual.

Ricci-flat spacetimes of signature (2,q) with q=2,3,4 are constructed which admit irreducible Killing tensors of rank-3 or rank-4. The construction relies upon the Eisenhart lift applied to Drach's two-dimensional integrable systems which is followed by the oxidation with respect to free parameters. In four dimensions, some of our solutions are anti-self-dual.

We have performed a lattice field theory simulation of cusps in Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings. The results are in accord with the theory that the portion of the strings which overlaps near the cusp is released as radiation. The radius of the string cores which must touch to produce the evaporation is approximately $r = 1$ in natural units. In general, the modifications to the string shape due to the cusp may produce many cusps later in the evolution of a string loop, but these later cusps will be much smaller in magnitude and more closely resemble kinks.

We study the production of primordial gravitational waves in the context of extended teleparallel gravity models and compare them with those of general relativity. Teleparallel gravity has been widely studied in the context of the late universe but not much in the early universe. Two sources of primordial gravitational waves are considered, vacuum fluctuations and tensor anisotropies within two inflation-compatible backgrounds: a perfect de Sitter and a quasi de Sitter background. We find that in the vacuum case with a perfect de Sitter background, the gravitational waves propagation equation is the same as that of general relativity, however, if the background is promoted to a quasi de Sitter background, the propagation equations are different resulting in an important difference on the tensor spectral index. When tensor anisotropies are included, we compute the most general solution for gravitational waves in terms of a retarded Green's function and analyze the contributions to the power spectrum from these anisotropies. Finally, we investigate the energy density of these gravitational waves.

Wormhole solutions in General Relativity (GR) require \textit{exotic} matter sources that violate the null energy condition (NEC), and it is well known that higher-order modifications of GR and some alternative matter sources can support wormholes. In this study, we explore the possibility of formulating traversable wormholes in $f(R)$ modified gravity, which is perhaps the most widely discussed modification of GR, with two approaches. First, to investigate the effects of geometrical constraints on the global characteristics, we gauge the $rr$-component of the metric tensor, and employ Pad\`{e} approximation to check whether a well-constrained \textit{shape function} can be formulated in this manner. We then derive the field equations with a background of string cloud, and numerically analyse the energy conditions, stability, and amount of exotic matter in this space-time. Next, as an alternative source in a simple $f(R)$ gravity model, we use the background cloud of strings to estimate the wormhole shape function, and analyse the relevant properties of the space-time. These results are then compared with those of wormholes threaded by normal matter in the simple $f(R)$ gravity model considered. The results demonstrate that wormholes with NEC violations are feasible; however, the wormhole space-times in the simple $f(R)$ gravity model are unstable.

We study almost universal spacetimes - spacetimes for which the field equations of any generalized gravity with the Lagrangian constructed from the metric, the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives of arbitrary order reduce to one single differential equation and one algebraic condition for the Ricci scalar. We prove that all d-dimensional Kundt spacetimes of Weyl type III and traceless Ricci type N are almost universal. Explicit examples of Weyl type II almost universal Kundt metrics are also given. The considerable simplification of the field equations of higher-order gravity theories for almost universal spacetimes is then employed to study new Weyl type II, III, and N vacuum solutions to quadratic gravity in arbitrary dimension and six-dimensional conformal gravity. Necessary conditions for almost universal metrics are also studied.

The existence of a quantum bounce in isotropic spacetimes is a key result in loop quantum cosmology (LQC), which has been demonstrated to arise in all the models studied so far. In most of the models, the bounce has been studied using numerical simulations involving states which are sharply peaked and which bounce at volumes much larger than the Planck volume. An important issue is to confirm the existence of the bounce for states which have a wide spread, or which bounce closer to the Planck volume. Numerical simulations with such states demand large computational domains, making them very expensive and practically infeasible with the techniques which have been implemented so far. To overcome these difficulties, we present an efficient hybrid numerical scheme using the property that at the small spacetime curvature, the quantum Hamiltonian constraint in LQC, which is a difference equation with uniform discretization in volume, can be approximated by a Wheeler-DeWitt differential equation. By carefully choosing a hybrid spatial grid allowing the use of partial differential equations at large volumes, and with a simple change of geometrical coordinate, we obtain a surprising reduction in the computational cost. This scheme enables us to explore regimes which were so far unachievable for the isotropic model in LQC. Our approach also promises to significantly reduce the computational cost for numerical simulations in anisotropic LQC using high performance computing.

In a recent Letter, we have pointed out that the linearized Einstein gravity in de Sitter (dS) spacetime besides the spacetime symmetries generated by the Killing vectors and the evident gauge symmetry also possesses a hitherto `hidden' local (gauge-like) symmetry which becomes anomalous on the quantum level. This gauge-like anomaly makes the theory inconsistent and must be canceled at all costs. In this companion paper, we first review our argument and discuss it in more detail. We argue that the cancelation of this anomaly makes it impossible to preserve dS symmetry in linearized quantum gravity through the usual canonical quantization in a consistent manner. Then, demanding that all the classical symmetries to survive in the quantized theory, we set up a coordinate-independent formalism \`{a} \emph{la} Gupta-Bleuler which allows for preserving the (manifest) dS covariance in the presence of the gauge and the gauge-like invariance of the theory. On this basis, considering a new representation of the canonical commutation relations, we present a graviton quantum field on dS space, transforming correctly under isometries, gauge transformations, and gauge-like transformations, which acts on a state space containing a vacuum invariant under all of them. Despite the appearance of negative norm states in this quantization scheme, the energy operator is positive in all physical states, and vanishes in the vacuum.

LISA Pathfinder is a mission planned by the European Space Agency to test the key technologies that will allow the detection of gravitational waves in space. The instrument on-board, the LISA Technology package, will undergo an exhaustive campaign of calibrations and noise characterisation campaigns in order to fully describe the noise model. Data analysis plays an important role in the mission and for that reason the data analysis team has been developing a toolbox which contains all the functionalities required during operations. In this contribution we give an overview of recent activities, focusing on the improvements in the modelling of the instrument and in the data analysis campaigns performed both with real and simulated data.

We investigate irregularity factors for a self-gravitating spherical star evolving in the presence of imperfect fluid. We explore the gravitational field equations and the dynamical equations with the systematic construction in $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Furthermore, we analyze two well-known differential equations (which occupy principal importance in the exploration of causes of energy density inhomogeneities) with the help of the Weyl tensor and the conservation laws. The irregularity factors for a spherical star are examined for particular cases of dust, isotropic and anisotropic fluids in dissipative and non-dissipative regimes in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity. It is found that as the complexity in the matter with the anisotropic stresses increases, the inhomogeneity factor has more correspondences to one of the structure scalars.

We generalize the recent solution proposed by Rajagopal et al. to arbitrary number of dimensions and horizon topologies. We comment on the regime of validity of these solution. Among our main results, we argue that the Van Der Waals (VDW) black hole (BH) metric is to be interpreted as a near horizon metric. This is supported by inspecting the energy conditions. We analyze the limiting cases of a perfect fluid, interacting points and non interacting balls gas equation of state and map them to known black holes. Finally, we provide a case study by comparing the Reissner-Nordstr\"om and VDW BH close to the horizon and show that they are qualitatively similar for some range of the horizon radius.

We study the long-distance behaviour of the massless vector propagator in (n)-dimensional de Sitter spacetime, where $n \geq 4$. Specifically, we consider the massless limit of the vector propagator in the Stueckelberg theory, which is an extension of Proca theory, with an additional gauge-fixing term. We work to leading order in the de Sitter-invariant distance $Z$ to show that, in the large $Z$ limit, this propagator tends to a gauge dependent constant, where the gauge worked in is described by the Stueckelberg parameter $\xi$. In the Landau gauge, where $\xi=0$, this constant is found to be 0. This result is in agreement with the 4 dimensional case discussed by Youssef.

We investigate two novel models of charged black holes in the framework of non-linear electrodynamics of Born-Infeld type. In particular, starting from two concrete Lagrangian densities, the corresponding metric potentials, the electric field, the Smarr formula and finally, the (scalar) quasinormal modes are computed for each model. Our findings show that although the models look very similar, their quasinormal spectra are characterized by certain differences.

In particular, starting from two concrete Lagrangian densities, the corresponding metric potentials, the electric field, the Smarr formula and finally, the (scalar) quasinormal modes are computed for each model. Our findings show that although the models look very similar, their quasinormal spectra are characterized by certain differences.

Spherically symmetric gravity in Ashtekar variables coupled to Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions and its relation to dilaton gravity and Poisson sigma models are discussed. After introducing its loop quantization, quantum corrections for inverse triad components are shown to provide a consistent deformation without anomalies. The relation to Poisson sigma models provides a covariant action principle of the quantum corrected theory with effective couplings. Results are also used to provide loop quantizations of spherically symmetric models in arbitrary D space-time dimensions.

We have studied inflationary paradigm through an inflationary equation of state. With a single parameter equation of state as a function of the scalar field responsible for accelerated expansion, we find an observationally viable model satisfying all the constraints as laid down by the recent observations. The resulting model can efficiently cover a wide range of tensor-to-scalar ratio ranging from $r\sim\mathcal{O}(10^{-1})$ to $\mathcal{O}(10^{-6})$, other inflationary observables being consistent with the latest data. Nowadays ultimate eliminator between inflationary models is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, the model presented here is capable of keeping up with the future probes of tensor-to-scalar ratio at the same time having good agreement with other inflationary observables.

In the context of the braneworld, a method to find consistent solutions to Einstein's field equations in the interior of a spherically symmetric, static and non uniform stellar distribution with Weyl stresses is developed. This method, based in the fact that any braneworld stellar solution must have the general relativity solution as a limit, produces a constraint which reduces the degrees of freedom on the brane. Hence the non locality and non closure of the braneworld equations can be overcome. The constraint found is physically interpreted as a necessary condition to regain general relativity, and a particular solution for it is used to find an exact and physically acceptable analytical internal solution to no-uniform stellar distributions on the brane. It is shown that such an exact solution is possible due to the fact that bulk corrections to pressure, density and a metric component are a null source of anisotropic effects on the brane. A conjecture is proposed about the possibility of finding physically relevant exact solutions to non-uniform stellar distributions on the brane.

The static and stationary C-metric are revisited in a generic framework and their interpretations studied in some detail. Specially those with two event horizons, one for the black hole and another for the acceleration. We found that: i) The spacetime of an accelerated static black hole is plagued by either conical singularities or lack of smoothness and compactness of the black hole horizon; ii) By using standard black hole thermodynamics we show that accelerated black holes have higher Hawking temperature than Unruh temperature of the accelerated frame; iii) The usual upper bound on the product of the mass and acceleration parameters <1/sqrt(27) is just a coordinate artifact. The main results are extended to accelerated rotating black holes with no significant changes.

This article begins by reviewing the causal set approach in discrete quantum gravity. In our version of this approach a special role is played by covariant causal sets which we call $c$-causets. The importance of $c$-causets is that they support the concepts of a natural distance function, geodesics and curvature in a discrete setting. We then discuss curvature in more detail. By considering $c$-causets with a maximum and minimum number of paths, we are able to find $c$-causets with large and small average curvature. We then briefly discuss our previous work on the inflationary period when the curvature was essentially zero. Quantum mechanics on $c$-causets is considered next. We first introduce a free wave equation for $c$-causets. We then show how the state of a particle with a specified mass (or energy) can be derived from the wave equation. It is demonstrated for small examples that quantum mechanics predicts that particles tend to move toward vertices with larger curvature.

It is noted that the Niederer transformation can be used to find the explicit relation between time-dependent linear oscillators, including the most interesting case when one of them is harmonic. A geometric interpretation of this correspondence is provided by certain subclasses of pp-waves; in particular the ones strictly related to the proper conformal transformations. This observation allows us to show that the pulses of plane gravitational wave exhibiting the maximal conformal symmetry are analytically solvable. Particularly interesting is the circularly polarized family for which some aspects (such as the classical cross section, velocity memory effect and impulsive limit) are discussed in more detail. The role of the additional integrals of motion, associated with the conformal generators, is clarified by means of Ermakov-Lewis invariants. Possible applications to the description of interaction of electromagnetic beams with matter are also indicated.

We aimed to construct sequences of uniformly rotating configurations at various rotation frequencies up to the Keplerian frequency for a hybrid hadronic--quark matter EOS where a smooth transition is provided between two separate phases. We investigated the difference of between the results computed by the implementation of Hartle--Thorne slow-rotation approximation and by \texttt{LORENE/nrotstar}, respectively. We have conclude that the codes can the difference between the slow rotating and the fast-rotating approach increase exponentially, reaching 6.67% for the maximal mass configuration rotating at the Keplerian frequency.

We analytically and numerically investigate the properties of s-wave holographic superconductors by considering the effects of scalar and gauge fields on the background geometry in five dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We assume the gauge field to be in the form of the Power-Maxwell nonlinear electrodynamics. We employ the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem for analytical calculation of the critical temperature and the shooting method for the numerical investigation. Our numerical and analytical results indicate that higher curvature corrections affect condensation of the holographic superconductors with backreaction. We observe that the backreaction can decrease the critical temperature of the holographic superconductors, while the Power-Maxwell electrodynamics and Gauss-Bonnet coefficient term may increase the critical temperature of the holographic superconductors. We find that the critical exponent has the mean-field value $\beta=1/2$, regardless of the values of Gauss-Bonnet coefficient, backreaction and Power-Maxwell parameters.

With an aim to include the contribution of surface tension in the action of the boundary, we define the tangential pressure in terms of surface tension and Normal curvature in a more naturally geometric way. First, we show that the negative tangential pressure is independent of the four-velocity of a very thin hyper-surface. Second, we relate the 3-pressure of a surface layer to the normal curvature and the surface tension. Third, we relate the surface tension to the energy of the surface layer. Four, we show that the delta like energy flows across the hyper-surface will be zero for such a representation of intrinsic 3-pressure. Five, for the weak field approximation and for static spherically symmetric configuration, we deduce the classical Kelvin's relation. Six, we write a modified action for the boundary having contributions both from surface tension and normal curvature of the surface layer. Also we propose a method to find the physical action assuming a reference background, where the background is not flat.

Killing-Yano one forms (duals of Killing vector fields) of a class of spherically symmetric space-times characterized by four functions are derived in a unified and exhaustive way. For well-known space-times such as those of Minkowski, Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, Robertson-Walker and several forms of de Sitter, these forms arise as special cases in a natural way. Besides its two well-known forms, four more forms of de Sitter space-time are also established with ten independent Killing vector fields for which four different time evolution regimes can explicitly be specified by the symmetry requirement. A family of space-times in which metric characterizing functions are of the general form and admitting six or seven independent Killing vector fields is presented.

Killing-Yano one forms (duals of Killing vector fields) of a class of spherically symmetric space-times characterized by four functions are derived in a unified and exhaustive way. For well-known space-times such as those of Minkowski, Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, Robertson-Walker and several forms of de Sitter, these forms arise as special cases in a natural way. Besides its two well-known forms, four more forms of de Sitter space-time are also established with ten independent Killing vector fields for which four different time evolution regimes can explicitly be specified by the symmetry requirement. A family of space-times in which metric characterizing functions are of the general form and admitting six or seven independent Killing vector fields is presented.

We scrutinize the recent Letter "Gravitational pair production and black hole evaporation" by M.F. Wondrak, W.D. van Suijlekom and H. Falcke [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 221502 (2023); arXiv:2305.18521]. We show that some consequences based on the proposed imaginary part of the lowest order effective action are in sharp tension with exact results on pair creation in electrodynamics and cosmology. This casts serious doubt on their claims for particle production in a Schwarzschild spacetime.

We obtain two dimensional analogue of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) gravity action described in four dimensional spherically symmetric curved space time metric. There will be two scalar fields, namely, the Brans Dicke (BD) $\phi$ and scale factor of 2-sphere part of the space time $\psi.$ We obtained suitable duality transformations between $(\psi,\phi)$ and $(\rho,S)$ where $\rho$ and $S$ is respectively amplitude and phase part of the corresponding de Broglie pilot wave function $\Psi(\rho,S)=\sqrt{\rho}e^{iS}.$ Covariant conservation of mass-energy current density of particles ensemble $J_a=\rho\partial_aS,$ is established by applying a particular dynamical conformal frame described by $(\rho,S).$

We derive upper and lower limits for the mass-radius ratio of spin-fluid spheres in Einstein-Cartan theory, with matter satisfying a linear barotropic equation of state, and in the presence of a cosmological constant. Adopting a spherically symmetric interior geometry, we obtain the generalized continuity and Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for a Weyssenhoff spin-fluid in hydrostatic equilibrium, expressed in terms of the effective mass, density and pressure, all of which contain additional contributions from the spin. The generalized Buchdahl inequality, which remains valid at any point in the interior, is obtained, and general theoretical limits for the maximum and minimum mass-radius ratios are derived. As an application of our results we obtain gravitational red shift bounds for compact spin-fluid objects, which may (in principle) be used for observational tests of Einstein-Cartan theory in an astrophysical context. We also briefly consider applications of the torsion-induced minimum mass to the spin-generalized strong gravity model for baryons/mesons, and show that the existence of quantum spin imposes a lower bound for spinning particles, which almost exactly reproduces the electron mass.

Distorted black holes radiate gravitational waves. In the so-called ringdown phase radiation is emitted in a discrete set of complex quasinormal frequencies, whose values depend only on the black hole's mass and angular momentum. Ringdown radiation could be detectable with large signal-to-noise ratio by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna LISA. If more than one mode is detected, tests of the black hole nature of the source become possible. The detectability of different modes depends on their relative excitation, which in turn depends on the cause of the perturbation (i.e. on the initial data). A ``universal'', initial data-independent measure of the relative mode excitation is encoded in the poles of the Green's function that propagates small perturbations of the geometry (``excitation factors''). We compute for the first time the excitation factors for general-spin perturbations of Kerr black holes. We find that for corotating modes with $l=m$ the excitation factors tend to zero in the extremal limit, and that the contribution of the overtones should be more significant when the black hole is fast rotating. We also present the first analytical calculation of the large-damping asymptotics of the excitation factors for static black holes, including the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom metrics. This is an important step to determine the convergence properties of the quasinormal mode expansion.

Gamma ray Bursts (GRBs) - short bursts of few hundred keV $\gamma$-rays - have fascinated astronomers since their accidental discovery in the sixties. GRBs were ignored by most relativists who did not expect that they are associated with any relativistic phenomenon. The recent observations of the BATSE detector on the Compton GRO satellite have revolutionized our ideas on these bursts and the picture that emerges shows that GRBs are the most relativistic objects discovered so far.

The paper deals with cosmic no hair conjecture in scalar tensor theory of gravity. Here we have considered both Jordan frame and Einstein frame to examine the conjecture. In Jordan frame, one should restrict both the coupling function of the scalar field and the coupling parameter in addition to the ususal energy conditions for the the matter field for the validity of CNHC while in Einstein frame the restrictions are purely on the energy conditions.

Phase transitions for rotating asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes in four dimensions are described in the $P-T$ plane, in terms of the Hawking temperature and the pressure provided by the cosmological constant. The difference between constant angular momentum and constant angular velocity is highlighted, the former has a second order phase transition while the latter does not. If the angular momentum is fixed there a line of first order phase transitions terminating at a critical point with a second order phase transition and vanishing latent heat, while if the angular velocity is fixed there is a line of first order phase transitions terminating at a critical point with infinite latent heat. For constant angular velocity the analytic form of the phase boundary is determined, latent heats derived and the Clapeyron equation verified.

We have studied analytically the approximate solutions to the gapped mode equations in the hydrodynamic regime for a class of binary Bose-Einstein condensate acoustic black holes. The horizon from the transonic flow is formed by manipulating the phonon sound speed and the flow velocity with the experimentally accessible parameters. The asymptotic modes of various scattering processes are constructed from which to obtain scattering coefficients and then to further decompose the field operator in terms of the asymptotic states. Also, the Unruh state is introduced to be the appropriate state for the description of gravitational collapse of the black hole. The particle densities of the outgoing modes are computed. The effective energy gap term in the dispersion relation of the gapped excitations introduces the threshold frequency $\omega_r$ in the subsonic regime, below which the propagating modes do not exist. Thus, the particle spectrum of the analogous Hawking modes in the exterior of the horizon of the subsonic region significantly deviates from that of the gapless cases near the threshold frequency due to the modified graybody factor, which vanishes as the mode frequency is below $\omega_r$. However, in the interior region of the horizon of the supersonic region, the spectrum of the particle production of the Hawking partner has the nonthermal feature. The correlators between the analog Hawking mode and its partner of relevance to the experimental observations are also investigated and show some peaks near the threshold frequency $\omega_r$ resulting from the gap energy term to be seen in future experiments.

The discovery of gravitational waves, first observed in September 2015 following the merger of a binary black hole system, has already revolutionised our understanding of the Universe. This was further enhanced in August 2017, when the coalescence of a binary neutron star system was observed both with gravitational waves and a variety of electromagnetic counterparts; this joint observation marked the beginning of gravitational multimessenger astronomy. The Einstein Telescope, a proposed next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory, will dramatically increase the sensitivity to sources: the number of observations of gravitational waves is expected to increase from roughly 100 per year to roughly 100'000 per year, and signals may be visible for hours at a time, given the low frequency cutoff of the planned instrument. This increase in the number of observed events, and the duration with which they are observed, is hugely beneficial to the scientific goals of the community but poses a number of significant computing challenges. Moreover, the currently used computing algorithms do not scale to this new environment, both in terms of the amount of resources required and the speed with which each signal must be characterised. This contribution will discuss the Einstein Telescope's computing challenges, and the activities that are underway to prepare for them. Available computing resources and technologies will greatly evolve in the years ahead, and those working to develop the Einstein Telescope data analysis algorithms will need to take this into account. It will also be important to factor into the initial development of the experiment's computing model the availability of huge parallel HPC systems and ubiquitous Cloud computing; the design of the model will also, for the first time, include the environmental impact as one of the optimisation metrics.

The extended black hole thermodynamics in which the cosmological constant plays the role of pressure significantly enriches the phase structure of the theory. In order to understand the extended black hole thermodynamics more precisely, we let the value of the cosmological constant vary dynamically via tunneling from one vacuum to another in a black hole induced vacuum decay. In this process, entropy of the matter/energy released by a black hole is crucial to validate the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, without taking this bulk entropy into account, entropy associated with the black hole and cosmological horizons may not always increase. Since the bulk entropy is not represented by the black hole and the cosmological horizons, this result calls for a more careful interpretation of the holographic principle in which environmental effects are taken into account.

We derive an equation for the acceleration of a fluid element in the spherical gravitational collapse of a bounded compact object made up of an imperfect fluid. We show that non-singular as well as singular solutions arise in the collapse of a fluid initially at rest and having only a tangential pressure. We obtain an exact solution of Einstein equations, in the form of an infinite series, for collapse under tangential pressure with a linear equation of state. We show that if a singularity forms in the tangential pressure model, the conditions for the singularity to be naked are exactly the same as in the model of dust collapse.

Lunar laser ranging analysis, as regularly performed in the solar system barycentric frame, requires the presence of the gravitomagnetic term in the equation of motion at the strength predicted by general relativity. The same term is responsible for the Lense Thirring effect. Any attempt to modify the strength of the gravitomagnetic interaction would have to do so in a way that does not destroy the fit to lunar ranging data and other observations.

We study extreme-mass-ratio systems in theories admitting the Schwarzschild solution and propagating a massive graviton. We show that, in addition to small corrections to the quadrupolar and higher-order modes, a dipolar mode is excited in these theories and we quantify its excitation. While LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations are not expected to impose meaningful constraints in the dipolar sector, future observations by the Einstein Telescope or by LISA, together with bounds from dispersion relations, can rule out theories of massive gravity admitting vacuum General Relativistic backgrounds. For the bound to be circumvented, one needs to move away from Ricci-flat solutions, and enter a territory where constraints based on wave propagation and dispersion relations are not reliable.

Using higher order intertwining operators we obtain new exactly solvable potentials admitting quasinormal mode (QNMs) solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation. It is also shown that different potentials exhibiting QNMs can be related through nonlinear supersymmetry.

A modified gravitational theory explains early universe and late time cosmology, galaxy and galaxy cluster dynamics. The modified gravity (MOG) theory extends general relativity (GR) by three extra degrees of freedom: a scalar field $G$, enhancing the strength of the Newtonian gravitational constant $G_N$, a gravitational, spin 1 vector graviton field $\phi_\mu$, and the effective mass $\mu$ of the ultralight spin 1 graviton. For $t < t_{\rm rec}$, where $t_{\rm rec}$ denotes the time of recombination and re-ionization, the density of the vector graviton $\rho_\phi > \rho_b$, where $\rho_b$ is the density of baryons, while for $t > t_{\rm rec}$ we have $\rho_b > \rho_\phi$. The matter density is parameterized by $\Omega_M=\Omega_b+\Omega_\phi+\Omega_r$ where $\Omega_r=\Omega_\gamma+\Omega_\nu$. For the cosmological parameter values obtained by the Planck Collaboration, the CMB acoustical oscillation power spectrum, polarization and lensing data can be fitted as in the $\Lambda$CDM model. When the baryon density $\rho_b$ dominates the late time universe, MOG explains galaxy rotation curves, the dynamics of galaxy clusters, galaxy lensing and the galaxy clusters matter power spectrum without dominant dark matter.

The issue of causality in $f(T)$ gravity is investigated by examining the possibility of existence of the closed timelike curves in the G\"{o}del-type metric. By assuming a perfect fluid as the matter source, we find that the fluid must have an equation of state parameter greater than minus one in order to allow the G\"{o}del solutions to exist, and furthermore the critical radius $r_c$, beyond which the causality is broken down, is finite and it depends on both matter and gravity. Remarkably, for certain $f(T)$ models, the perfect fluid that allows the G\"{o}del-type solutions can even be normal matter, such as pressureless matter or radiation. However, if the matter source is a special scalar field rather than a perfect fluid, then $r_c\rightarrow\infty$ and the causality violation is thus avoided.

We expose the phenomenology of the massless dilaton theory in the Solar system for a non universal quadratic coupling between the scalar field which represents the dilaton, and the matter. Modified post-Newtonian equations of motion of an $N$-body system and the light time travel are derived from the action of the theory. We use the physical properties of the main planets of the Solar system to reduce the number of parameters to be tested to 3 in the linear coupling case. In the linear case, we have an universal coupling constant $\alpha_0$ and two coupling constants $\alpha_T$ and $\alpha_G$ related respectively to the telluric bodies and to the gaseous bodies. We then use the planetary ephemeris, INPOP19a, in order to constrain these constants. We succeeded to constrain the linear coupling scenario and the constraints read $\alpha_0=(1.01\pm23.7)\times 10^{-5}$, $\alpha_T=(0.00\pm24.5)\times 10^{-6}$, $\alpha_G=(-1.46\pm12.0)\times 10^{-5}$, at the 99.5 \% C.L.

The fate of classical information incident on a quantum black hole has been the subject of an ongoing controversy in theoretical physics, because a calculation within the framework of semi-classical curved-space quantum field theory appears to show that the incident information is irretrievably lost, in contradiction to time-honored principles such as time-reversibility and unitarity. Here, we show within this framework embedded in quantum communication theory that signaling from past to future infinity in the presence of a Schwarzschild black hole can occur with arbitrary accuracy, and thus that classical information is not lost in black hole dynamics. The calculation relies on a treatment that is manifestly unitary from the outset, where probability conservation is guaranteed because black holes stimulate the emission of radiation in response to infalling matter. This stimulated radiation is non-thermal, and contains all of the information about the infalling matter, while Hawking radiation contains none of it.

We analytically work out the orbital effects caused by a Rindlertype extra-acceleration ARin which naturally arises in some recent models of modified gravity at large distances. In particular, we focus on the perturbations induced by it on the two-body range {\rho} and range-rate {\rho}\cdot which are commonly used in satellite and planetary investigations as primary observable quantities. The constraints obtained for ARin by comparing our calculations with the currently available range and range-rate residuals for some of the major bodies of the solar system, obtained without explicitly modeling ARin, are 1 - 2 \times 10-13 m s-2 (Mercury and Venus), 1 \times 10-14 m s-2 (Saturn), 1 \times 10-15 m s-2 (Mars), while for a terrestrial Rindler acceleration we have 5 \times 10-16 m s-2 (Moon). Another approach which could be followed consists of taking into account ARin in re-processing all the available data sets with accordingly modified dynamical models, and estimating a dedicated solve-for parameter explicitly accounting for it. Anyway, such a method is time-consuming. A preliminary analysis likely performed in such a way by a different author yields A <= 8\times10-14 m s-2 at Mars' distance and A < = 1\times10-14 m s-2 at Saturn's distance. The method adopted here can be easily and straightforwardly extended to other long-range modified models of gravity as well.

Applying the recently developed dynamical perturbation formalism on cosmological background to scalar-tensor theory, we provide a solid theoretical basis and a rigorous justification for phenomenological models of orbital dynamics that are currently used to interpret experimental measurements of the time-dependent gravitational constant. We derive the field equations for the scalar-tensor perturbations and study their gauge freedom associated with the cosmological expansion. We find a new gauge eliminating a prohibitive number of gauge modes in the field equations and significantly simplifying post-Newtonian equations of motion for localized astronomical systems in the universe with time-dependent gravitational constant. We identify several new post-Newtonian terms and calculate their effect on secular cosmological evolution of the osculating orbital elements.

The phenomenologically emergent dark energy (PEDE) model is a varying dark energy model with no extra degrees of freedom proposed by Li and Shafieloo\citep{Li_2019} to alleviate the Hubble tension. The statistical consistency of the model has been discussed by many authors. Since the model depicts a phantom dark energy that increases with redshift, its cosmic evolution, particularly during the late phase, must be examined. We discover that the model's Hubble and deceleration parameters display unusual behaviour in the future, which differs from $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. We find the model also follows a distinct evolution in the statefinder plane. The phantom nature of the model leads to the violation of the null energy condition and a decrease in horizon entropy. The asymptotic future epoch also seems to be unstable based on our dynamical system analysis as well as the stability analysis based on dark energy sound speed.

The self-force program aims at accurately modeling relativistic two-body systems with a small mass ratio (SMR). In the context of the effective-one-body (EOB) framework, current results from this program can be used to determine the effective metric components at linear order in the mass ratio, resumming post-Newtonian (PN) dynamics around the test-particle limit in the process. It was shown in [Akcay et al., Phys. Rev. D 86 (2012)] that, in the original (standard) EOB gauge, the SMR contribution to the metric component $g^\text{eff}_{tt}$ exhibits a coordinate singularity at the light-ring (LR) radius. In this paper, we adopt a different gauge for the EOB dynamics and obtain a Hamiltonian that is free of poles at the LR, with complete circular-orbit information at linear order in the mass ratio and non-circular-orbit and higher-order-in-mass-ratio terms up to 3PN order. We confirm the absence of the LR-divergence in such an EOB Hamiltonian via plunging trajectories through the LR radius. Moreover, we compare the binding energies and inspiral waveforms of EOB models with SMR, PN and mixed SMR-3PN information on a quasi-circular inspiral against numerical-relativity predictions. We find good agreement between NR simulations and EOB models with SMR-3PN information for both equal and unequal mass ratios. In particular, when compared to EOB inspiral waveforms with only 3PN information, EOB Hamiltonians with SMR-3PN information improves the modeling of binary systems with small mass ratios $q \lesssim 1/3$, with a dephasing accumulated in $\sim$30 gravitational-wave (GW) cycles being of the order of few hundredths of a radian up to 4 GW cycles before merger.

Circular massless cosmic strings which move with the speed of light in the de Sitter universe are described. Construction of the background geometry is based on parabolic isometries of the de Sitter spacetime. Microscopic circular cosmic strings may appear at the Planck epoch and then grow up to the Hubble size. We analyze: images of the strings, influence of strings on trajectories of matter, formation of overdensities, and shifts of energies of photons. These effects allow one to discriminate massless strings from their massive cousins. The present work extends our results on straight massless cosmic strings in Minkowsky spacetime to curved backgrounds.

Just because the propagator of some field obeys a de Sitter invariant equation does not mean it possesses a de Sitter invariant solution. The classic example is the propagator of a massless, minimally coupled scalar. We show that the same thing happens for massive scalars with $M_S^2 < 0$, and for massive transverse vectors with $M_V^2 \leq -2 (D-1) H^2$, where $D$ is the dimension of spacetime and $H$ is the Hubble parameter. Although all masses in these ranges give infrared divergent mode sums, using dimensional regularization (or any other analytic continuation technique) to define the mode sums leads to the incorrect conclusion that de Sitter invariant solutions exist except at discrete values of the masses.

There is an exact correspondence between the simplest solution to Einstein's equations describing the formation of a black hole and a particular moving mirror trajectory. In both cases the Bogolubov coefficients in 1+1 dimensions are identical and can be computed analytically. Particle creation is investigated by using wave packets. The entire particle creation history is computed, incorporating the early-time non-thermal emission due to the formation of the black hole (or the early-time acceleration of the moving mirror) and the evolution to a Planckian spectrum.

We generalize the orthogonally transitive (OT) $G_2$ spike solution to the non-OT $G_2$ case. This is achieved by applying Geroch's transformation on a Kasner seed. The new solution contains two more parameters than the OT $G_2$ spike solution. Unlike the OT $G_2$ spike solution, the new solution always resolves its spike.

It is known from the work of Banados et al. that a space-time with event horizons (much like the Schwarzschild black hole) can be obtained from 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space through a suitable identification of points. We point out that this can be done in 3+1 dimensions as well. In this way we obtain black holes with event horizons that are tori or Riemann surfaces of genus higher than one. They can have either one or two asymptotic regions. Locally, the space-time is isometric to anti-de Sitter space.

We consider vacuum static spherically symmetric solutions in the hybrid metric-Palatini gravity theory, which is a combination of the metric and Palatini $f(R)$ formalisms unifying local constraints at the Solar System level and the late-time cosmic acceleration. We adopt the scalar-tensor representation of the hybrid metric-Palatini theory, in which the scalar-tensor definition of the potential can be represented as a Clairaut differential equation. Due to their mathematical complexity, it is difficult to find exact solutions of the vacuum field equations, and therefore we adopt a numerical approach in studying the behavior of the metric functions and of the scalar field. After reformulating the field equations in a dimensionless form, and by introducing a suitable independent radial coordinate, the field equations are solved numerically. We detect the formation of a black hole from the presence of a singularity in the metric tensor components. Several models, corresponding to different functional forms of the scalar field potential are considered. The thermodynamic properties of these black hole solutions (horizon temperature, specific heat, entropy and evaporation time due to Hawking luminosity) are also investigated in detail.
