We investigate the effects of scale-free model on cosmology, providing, in this way, a statistical background in the framework of general relativity. In order to discuss properties and time evolution of some relevant universe dynamical parameters (cosmographic parameters), such as $H(t)$ (Hubble parameter), $q(t)$ (deceleration parameter), $j(t)$ (jerk parameter) and $s(t)$ (snap parameter), which are well re-defined in the framework of scale-free model, we analyze a comparison between WMAP data. Hence the basic purpose of the work is to consider this statistical interpretation of mass distribution of universe, in order to have a mass density $\rho$ dynamics, not inferred from Friedmann equations, via scale factor $a(t)$. This model, indeed, has been used also to explain a possible origin and a viable explanation of cosmological constant, which assumes a statistical interpretation without the presence of extended theories of gravity; hence the problem of dark energy could be revisited in the context of a classical probability distribution of mass, which is, in particular, for the scale-free model, $P(k)\sim k^{-\gamma}$, with $2<\gamma<3$. The $\Lambda$CDM model becomes, with these considerations, a consequence of the particular statistics together with the use of general relativity.

The independent dynamical variables of a collapsing homogeneous sphere of dust are canonically quantised and coupled equations describing matter (dust) and gravitation are obtained. The conditions for the validity of the adiabatic (Born-Oppenheimer) and semiclassical approximations are derived. On neglecting back-reaction effects, it is also shown that in the vicinity of the horizon and inside the dust the Wightman function for a conformal scalar field coupled to a monopole emitter is thermal at the characteristic Hawking temperature.

The standard geometrodynamics is transformed into a theory of conformal geometrodynamics by extending the ADM phase space for canonical general relativity to that consisting of York's mean exterior curvature time, conformal three-metric and their momenta. Accordingly, an additional constraint is introduced, called the conformal constraint. In terms of the new canonical variables, a diffeomorphism constraint is derived from the original momentum constraint. The Hamiltonian constraint then takes a new form. It turns out to be the sum of an expression that previously appeared in the literature and extra terms quadratic in the conformal constraint. The complete set of the conformal, diffeomorphism and Hamiltonian constraints are shown to be of first class through the explicit construction of their Poisson brackets. The extended algebra of constraints has as subalgebras the Dirac algebra for the deformations and Lie algebra for the conformorphism transformations of the spatial hypersurface. This is followed by a discussion of potential implications of the presented theory on the Dirac constraint quantization of general relativity. An argument is made to support the use of the York time in formulating the unitary functional evolution of quantum gravity. Finally, the prospect of future work is briefly outlined.

Let $M$ be a locally rotationally symmetric spacetime, and $\xi^a$ a conformal Killing vector for the metric on $M$, lying in the subspace spanned by the unit timelike direction and the preferred spatial direction, and with non-constant components. Under the assumption that the divergence of $\xi^a$ has no critical point in $M$, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for $\xi^a$ to generate a conformal Killing horizon. It is shown that $\xi^a$ generates a conformal Killing horizon if and only if either of the components (which coincide on the horizon) is constant along its orbits. That is, a conformal Killing horizon can be realized as the set of critical points of the variation of the component(s) of the conformal Killing vector along its orbits. Using this result, a simple mechanism is provided by which to determine if an arbitrary vector in an expanding LRS spacetime is a conformal Killing vector that generates a conformal Killing horizon. In specializing the case for which $\xi^a$ is a special conformal Killing vector, provided that the gradient of the divergence of $\xi^a$ is non-null, it is shown that LRS spacetimes cannot admit a special conformal Killing vector field, thereby ruling out conformal Killing horizons generated by such vector fields.

We study the possible singularities of isotropic cosmological models that have a varying speed of light as well as a varying gravitational constant. The field equations typically reduce to two dimensional systems which are then analyzed both by dynamical systems techniques in phase space and by applying the method of asymptotic splittings. In the general case we find initially expanding closed models which recollapse to a future singularity and open universes that are eternally expanding towards the future. The precise nature of the singularities is also discussed.

It has been shown that four dimensional Brans-Dicke theory with effective matter field and self interacting potential can be achieved from vacuum 5D BD field equations, where we refer to as modified Brans-Dicke theory (MBDT). We investigate a generalized Bianchi type I anisotropic cosmology in 5D BD theory, and by employing obtained formalism, we derive induced-matter on any 4D hypersurface in context of the MBDT. We illustrate that if the usual spatial scale factors are functions of time while scale factor of extra dimension is constant, and scalar field depends on time and fifth coordinate, then in general, one will encounter inconsistencies in field equations. Then, we assume the scale factors and scalar field depend on time and extra coordinate as separated variables in power law forms. Hence, we find a few classes of solutions in 5D spacetime through which, we probe the one which leads to a generalized Kasner relations among Kasner parameters. The induced scalar potential is found to be in power law or in logarithmic form, however, for constant scaler field and even when scalar field only depends on fifth coordinate, it vanishes. The conservation law is indeed valid in this MBDT approach for derived induced energy momentum tensor (EMT). We proceed our investigations for a few cosmological quantities, where for simplicity we assume metric and scalar field are functions of time. Hence, the EMT satisfies barotropic equation of state, and the model indicates that constant mean Hubble parameter is not allowed. Thus, by appealing to variation of Hubble parameter, we assume a fixed deceleration parameter, and set evolution of quantities with respect to the fixed deceleration, BD coupling and state parameters. The WEC allows a shrinking extra dimension for decelerating expanding universe that, in the constant scalar field, evolves same as flat FRW spacetime in GR.

We demonstrate, in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity, the Quantum Holographic Principle, according to which the area of the boundary surface enclosing a region of space encodes a qubit per Planck unit. To this aim, we introduce fermion fields in the bulk, whose boundary surface is the two-dimensional sphere. The doubling of the fermionic degrees of freedom and the use of the Bogoljubov transformations lead to pairs of spin network's edges piercing the boundary surface with double punctures, giving rise to pixels of area encoding a qubit. The proof is also valid in the case of a fuzzy sphere.

To subsequently investigate the nonvacuum case, we consider the spectral action of an almost commutative torsion geometry and show that the Hamiltonian is bounded from below, a result which guarantees the linear stability of the theory.

We study the gravitational shock wave generated by a massless high energy particle in the context of higher order gravities of the form $F(R,R_{\mu \nu}R^{\mu \nu},R_{\mu \nu \alpha \beta}R^{\mu \nu \alpha \beta})$. In the case of $F(R)$ gravity, we investigate the gravitational shock wave solutions corresponding to various cosmologically viable gravities, and as we demonstrate the solutions are rescaled versions of the Einstein-Hilbert gravity solution. Interestingly enough, other higher order gravities result to the general relativistic solution, except for some specific gravities of the form $F(R_{\mu \nu}R^{\mu \nu})$ and $F(R,R_{\mu \nu}R^{\mu \nu})$, which we study in detail. In addition, when realistic Gauss-Bonnet gravities of the form $R+F(\mathcal{G})$ are considered, the gravitational shock wave solutions are identical to the general relativistic solution. Finally, the singularity structure of the gravitational shock waves solutions is studied, and it is shown that the effect of higher order gravities makes the singularities milder in comparison to the general relativistic solutions, and in some particular cases the singularities seem to be absent.

Herein we determine and characterize the existence of $\Omega>$1, together with the period of inflation. We have found that our model, which takes into account a Jordan-Brans-Dicke type of theory, is less restrictive than the one used in Einstein's theory of general relativity. Our results are compared to those found in Einstein's theory of Relativity.

Both Stefan-Boltzmann law and the Casimir effect, in a universe described by the FRW metric with zero curvature, are calculated. These effects are described by Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD). The gravitational energy-momentum tensor is defined in the context of Teleparallel Equivalent to General Relativity (TEGR). Each of the two effects gives a consistent prediction with what is observed on a cosmological scale. One of the effect establishes a minimum range for the deceleration parameter. While another leads to the conclusion that a possible cosmological constant has a very small order of magnitude.

Respecting the group theoretical approach, it is discussed that the linear conformal gravity can be written in terms of a mixed symmetry tensor field of rank-3 \cite{binegar}. Following this path, related field equation was obtained in de Sitter space \cite{fatemi}. It was proved that this kind of tensor field in de Sitter background associates with two unitary irreducible representations (UIR) of the de Sitter group. The important fact is that one of the them has a flat limit, namely, in zero curvature coincides to the UIR of Poincar\'{e} group which has been studied in Ref \cite{rahbar}. However, the second one which is named as auxiliary field, becomes significant in the study of conformal gravity in de Sitter background. In this paper we will study the second representation in details by finding its solutions and also the conformally invariant two-point function.

Multi-connected Universe models with space idenfication scales smaller than the size of the observable universe produce topological images in the catalogs of cosmic sources. In this review, we present the recent developments for the search of the topology of the universe focusing on three dimensional methods. We present the crystallographic method, we give a new lower bound on the size of locally Euclidean multi-connected universe model of $3000 h^{-1} \hbox{Mpc}$ based on this method and a quasar catalog, we discuss its successes and failures, and the attemps to generalise it. We finally introduce a new statistical method based on a collecting correlated pair (CCP) technique.

Based on a linear realization formulation of a quantum relativity -- the proposed relativity for quantum `space-time', we introduce the Poincar\'e-Snyder relativity and Snyder relativity as relativities in between the latter and the well known Galilean and Einstein cases. We discuss how the Poincar\'e-Snyder relativity may provide a stronger framework for the description of the usual (Einstein) relativistic quantum mechanics and beyond. In particular, we discuss a geometric quantization picture through the U(1) central extension of the relativity group, which had been establish to work well for the Galilean case but not for the Einstein case. We discuss similarities and differences between our Poincar\'e-Snyder picture with a still not fully understood $\sigma$ variable as the `evolution' parameter and some use of an invariant time or the proper time parameter in some earlier formulations with very similar mathematical structure. The study is a first step towards the investigation of physics of the $\sigma$ variable at the Poincar\'e-Snyder setting, plausible leading to experimental signatures to be studied.

We discuss how the assumption of variable equation of state (EoS) allows the elimination of the instability at equilibrium throat radius $a_0=3M$ featured by previous Schwarzschild thin-shell wormhole models. Unobstructed stability regions are found for three choices of variable EoS. Two of these EoS entail linear stability at every equilibrium radius. Particularly, the thin-shell remains stable as $a_0$ approaches the Schwarzschild radius $2M$. A perturbative analysis of the wormhole equation of motion is carried out in the case of variable Chaplygin EoS. The squared proper angular frequency $\omega_0^2$ of small throat oscillations is linked with the second derivative of the thin-shell potential. In various situations $\omega_0^2$ remains positive and bounded in the limit $a_0\rightarrow 2M$.

We investigate the gravitational effect on Landau levels. We show that the familiar infinite Landau degeneracy of the energy levels of a quantum particle moving inside a uniform and constant magnetic field is removed by the interaction of the particle with a gravitational field. Two independent approaches are used to solve the relevant Schr\"odinger equation within the Newtonian approximation. It is found that both approaches yield qualitatively similar results within their respective approximations. With the goal of clarifying some results found in the literature concerning the use of a third independent approach for extracting the quantization condition based on a similar differential equation, we show that such an approach cannot yield a general and yet consistent result. We point out to the more accurate, but impractical, way to use such an approach; a way which does in principle yield a consistent quantization condition. We discuss how our results could be used to contribute in a novel way to the existing methods for testing gravity at the tabletop experiments level as well as at the astrophysical observational level by deriving the corrections brought by Yukawa-like and power-law deviations from the inverse-square law. The full relativistic regime is also examined in detail.

Aims. The purpose of this work is to investigate a new frequency separation of stellar p-modes and its characteristics. Methods. Frequency separations are deduced from the asymptotic formula of stellar p-modes. Then, using the theoretical adiabatic frequencies of stellar model, we compute the frequency separations. Results. A new separation $\sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$, which is similar to the scaled small separation $d_{l l+2}(n)/(2l+3)$, is obtained from the asymptotic formula of stellar p-modes. The separations $\sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$ and $d_{l l+2}(n)/(2l+3)$ have the same order. And like the small separation, $\sigma_{l-1 l+1}(n)$ is mainly sensitive to the conditions in the stellar core. However, with the decrease of the central hydrogen abundance of stars, the $\sigma_{02}$ and $\sigma_{13}$ more and more deviate from the scaled small separation. This characteristic could be used to extract the information on the central hydrogen abundance of stars.

It is shown that the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) spacetime has the fundamental temperature. This temperature describes the thermal processes of decay of the composite particles and the other processes, which are energetically forbidden in the Minkowski spacetime, but are allowed in the de Sitter and in SdS backgrounds. In particular, this temperature describes the probability of ionization of the atom in the SdS, which is observed by the stationary observer at the point where the shift function (velocity) in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism changes sign. This activation temperature does not depend on the black hole mass and is fully determined by the Hubble parameter, $T_{\rm SdS}=\sqrt{3}H/\pi$. This temperature is twice the Bousso-Hawking temperature $T_{\rm BH}$, which characterizes the limit of degenerate Lorentzian Schwarzschild-de Sitter universe, when the cosmological and black hole horizons are close to each other, $T_{\rm SdS}=2T_{\rm BH}$. The similar doubling of the temperature of Hawking radiation is known in the pure de Sitter spacetime, where the corresponding local temperature describing the ionization of atoms is twice the Gibbons-Hawking temperature, $T_{\rm dS}=2T_{\rm GH}=H/\pi$. We suggest that the activation temperature $T_{\rm dS}$ can be considered as the thermodynamic temperature of the de Sitter state, which determines the local entropy in this state, $s=3H/4G$.

Gravastars, hypothetic astrophysical objects, consisting of a dark energy condensate surrounded by a strongly correlated thin shell of anisotropic matter, have been proposed as an alternative to the standard black hole picture of general relativity. Observationally distinguishing between astrophysical black holes and gravastars is a major challenge for this latter theoretical model. In the context of stationary and axially symmetrical geometries, a possibility of distinguishing gravastars from black holes is through the comparative study of thin accretion disks around rotating gravastars and Kerr-type black holes, respectively. In the present paper, we consider accretion disks around slowly rotating gravastars, with all the metric tensor components estimated up to the second order in the angular velocity. Due to the differences in the exterior geometry, the thermodynamic and electromagnetic properties of the disks (energy flux, temperature distribution and equilibrium radiation spectrum) are different for these two classes of compact objects, consequently giving clear observational signatures. In addition to this, it is also shown that the conversion efficiency of the accreting mass into radiation is always smaller than the conversion efficiency for black holes, i.e., gravastars provide a less efficient mechanism for converting mass to radiation than black holes. Thus, these observational signatures provide the possibility of clearly distinguishing rotating gravastars from Kerr-type black holes.

We simulate the response of a Storage Ring Gravitational-Wave Observatory (SRGO) to astrophysical millihertz (mHz) gravitational waves (GWs), numerically obtaining its sensitivity curve and optimal choices for some controllable experiment parameters. We also generate synthetic noisy GW data and use Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to perform parameter estimation of the source properties and their degeneracies. We show that a single SRGO could potentially localize the GW source in the sky using Earth's rotation. We also study the source sky localization area, mass and distance estimation errors as functions of noise, data sampling rate, and observing time. Finally, we discuss, along with its implications, the capacity of an SRGO to detect and constrain the parameters of millihertz GW events.

We continue our study in 4-dimension to derive non-charged and charged (Anti)-de Sitter black hole solutions in conformal teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. The non-charged and charged equations of motion are applied to a spherically symmetric tetrad and the non-linear differential equations are derived. It is shown that the output solutions of the two cases are identical to those obtained in teleparallel equivalent theory to general relativity. As a result, it is found that in the conformal teleparallel equivalent theory to general relativity, the scalar field cannot influence on the manifold of spherical symmetry, i.e. the scalar field must equal 1 in order to have a well known asymptote spacetime.

Given the extreme accuracy of modern space science, a precise relativistic modeling of observations is required. We use the Time Transfer Functions formalism to study light propagation in the field of uniformly moving axisymmetric bodies, which extends the field of application of previous works. We first present a space-time metric adapted to describe the geometry of an ensemble of uniformly moving bodies. Then, we show that the expression of the Time Transfer Functions in the field of a uniformly moving body can be easily derived from its well-known expression in a stationary field by using a change of variables. We also give a general expression of the Time Transfer Function in the case of an ensemble of arbitrarily moving point masses. This result is given in the form of an integral easily computable numerically. We also provide the derivatives of the Time Transfer Function in this case, which are mandatory to compute Doppler and astrometric observables. We particularize our results in the case of moving axisymmetric bodies. Finally, we apply our results to study the different relativistic contributions to the range and Doppler tracking for the JUNO mission in the Jovian system.

The accelerated expansion of the universe together with its present day isotropy has posed an interesting challenge to the numerous model theories presented over the years to describe them. In this paper, we address the above questions in the context of a brane-world model where the universe is filled with a Born-Infeld matter. We show that in such a model, the universe evolves from a highly anisotropic state to its present isotropic form which has entered an accelerated expanding phase.

The relationship between modern philosophy and physics is discussed. It is shown that the latter develops some need for a modernized metaphysics which shows up as an ultima philosophia of considerable heuristic value, rather than as the prima philosophia in the Aristotelian sense as it had been intended, in the first place. It is shown then, that it is the philosophy of Spinoza in fact, that can still serve as a paradigm for such an approach. In particular, Spinoza's concept of infinite substance is compared with the philosophical implications of the foundational aspects of modern physical theory. Various connotations of sub-stance are discussed within pre-geometric theories, especially with a view to the role of spin networks within quantum gravity. It is found to be useful to intro-duce a separation into physics then, so as to differ between foundational and empirical theories, respectively. This leads to a straightforward connection bet-ween foundational theories and speculative philosophy on the one hand, and between empirical theories and sceptical philosophy on the other. This might help in the end, to clarify some recent problems, such as the absence of time and causality at a fundamental level. It is implied that recent results relating to topos theory might open the way towards eventually deriving logic from physics, and also towards a possible transition from logic to hermeneutic.

It is found to be useful to intro-duce a separation into physics then, so as to differ between foundational and empirical theories, respectively. This leads to a straightforward connection bet-ween foundational theories and speculative philosophy on the one hand, and between empirical theories and sceptical philosophy on the other. This might help in the end, to clarify some recent problems, such as the absence of time and causality at a fundamental level. It is implied that recent results relating to topos theory might open the way towards eventually deriving logic from physics, and also towards a possible transition from logic to hermeneutic.

The brane-worlds model was inspired partly by Kaluza-Klein's theory, where the gravitation and the gauge fields are obtained of a geometry of higher dimension (bulk). Such a model has been showing positive in the sense of we find perspectives and probably deep modifications in the physics, such as: Unification in a scale TeV, quantum gravity in this scale and deviation of Newton's law for small distances. One of the principles of this model is to suppose a space-time embedded in a bulk of high dimension. In this note it is shown, basing on the theorem of Collinson-Szekeres, that the space-time of Schwarzschild cannot be embedded locally and isometrically in a bulk of five dimensions with constant curvature,(for example ADS-5). From the point of view of the semi-Riemannian geometry this last result consists constraints to the model brane-world.

The indefinite sign of the Hamiltonian constraint means that solutions to Einstein's equations must achieve a delicate balance--often among numerically large terms that nearly cancel. If numerical errors cause a violation of the Hamiltonian constraint, the failure of the delicate balance could lead to qualitatively wrong behavior rather than just decreased accuracy. This issue is different from instabilities caused by constraint-violating modes. Examples of stable numerical simulations of collapsing cosmological spacetimes exhibiting local mixmaster dynamics with and without Hamiltonian constraint enforcement are presented.

Massive black hole binaries are the primary source of gravitational waves (GW) for the future eLISA observatory. The detection and parameter estimation of these sources to high redshift would provide invaluable information on the formation mechanisms of seed black holes, and on the evolution of massive black holes and their host galaxies through cosmic time. The Fisher information matrix has been the standard tool for GW parameter estimation in the last two decades. However, recent studies have questioned the validity of using the Fisher matrix approach. For example, the Fisher matrix approach sometimes predicts errors of $\geq100\%$ in the estimation of parameters such as the luminosity distance and sky position. With advances in computing power, Bayesian inference is beginning to replace the Fisher matrix approximation in parameter estimation studies. In this work, we conduct a Bayesian inference analysis for 120 sources situated at redshifts of between $0.1\leq z\leq 13.2$, and compare the results with those from a Fisher matrix analysis. The Fisher matrix results suggest that for this particular selection of sources, eLISA would be unable to localize sources at redshifts of $z\lesssim6$. In contrast, Bayesian inference provides finite error estimations for all sources in the study, and shows that we can establish minimum closest distances for all sources. The study further predicts that we should be capable with eLISA, out to a redshift of at least $z\leq13$, of predicting a maximum error in the chirp mass of $\lesssim 1\%$, the reduced mass of $\lesssim20\%$, the time to coalescence of 2 hours, and to a redshift of $z\sim5$, the inclination of the source with a maximum error of $\sim60$ degrees.

We investigate inner structure of Schwarzschild black hole on a five-dimensional spacetime S^3xR^2. To do this, we exploit a f\"unfbein scheme. In particular, we construct an equation of state of hydrostatic equilibrium for the five-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, which is a five-dimensional version of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation on four-dimensional manifold. We also investigate uniform density interior configuration of the five-dimensional black hole which consists of incompressible fluid of density, to find a general relativistic expression for pressure.

We study Jang's equation on a one-parameter family of asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric Cauchy hypersurfaces in the maximally extended Schwarzschild spacetime. The hypersurfaces contain apparent horizons and are parametrized by their proximity to the singularity at $r = 0$. We show that on those hypersurfaces sufficiently close to the singularity, every radial solution to Jang's equation blows up. The proof depends only on the geometry in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the singularity, suggesting that Jang's equation is in fact detecting the singularity. We comment on possible applications to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture.

The vacuum solutions in brane gravity differ from those in 4D by a number of additional terms and reduce to the familiar Schwarzschild metric at small distances. We study the possible roles that such terms may play in the precession of planetary orbits, bending of light, radar retardation and the anomaly in mean motion of test bodies. Using the available data from Solar System experiments, we determine the range of the free parameters associated with the linear term in the metric. The best results come from the anomalies in the mean motion of planets. Such studies should shed some light on the origin of dark energy via the solar system tests.

We explore the generalized $f(R,T)$ modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is a function of Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$. We derive modified field equations to the linear order of perturbations in the context of $f(R,T)$ model. We then investigate the growth of perturbations in the context of $f(R,T)$ modified gravity. Primary numerical investigations based on matter power spectra diagrams indicates a structure growth suppression in $f(R,T)$ gravity, which exhibits consistency with local measurements. Also, we notice that matter-geometry interaction in $f(R,T)$ model would results in the specific feature named as "matter acoustic oscillations" appeared in matter power spectra diagrams. Moreover, we put constraints on the cosmological parameters of $f(R,T)$ model, utilizing current observations, chiefly cosmic microwave background, weak lensing, supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, and redshift-space distortions data. Numerical results based on MCMC calculations imply that $f(R,T)$ is a qualified theory of modified gravity in reconciling Planck CMB data with local probes of large scale structures, by reporting lower values for the structure growth parameter $\sigma_8$ compared to the standard model of cosmology.

We have investigated several properties of rapidly rotating dynamic black holes generated by gravitational collapse of rotating relativistic stars. At present, numerical simulations of the binary black hole merger are able to produce a Kerr black hole of J_final / M_final^2 up to = 0.91, of gravitational collapse from uniformly rotating stars up to J_final / M_final^2 ~ 0.75, where J_final is the total angular momentum and M_final the total gravitational mass of the hole. We have succeeded in producing a dynamic black hole of spin J_final / M_final^2 ~ 0.95 through the collapse of differentially rotating relativistic stars. We have investigated those dynamic properties through diagnosing multipole moment of the horizon, and found the following two features. Firstly, two different definitions of the angular momentum of the hole, the approximated Killing vector approach and dipole moment of the current multipole approach, make no significant difference to our computational results. Secondly, dynamic hole approaches a Kerr by gravitational radiation within the order of a rotational period of an equilibrium star, although the dynamic hole at the very forming stage deviates quite far from a Kerr. We have also discussed a new phase of quasi-periodic waves in the gravitational waveform after the ringdown in terms of multipole moment of the dynamic hole.

We study the Casimir-Polder force arising between two identical two-level atoms and mediated by a massless scalar field propagating in a black-hole background. We study the interplay of Hawking radiation and Casimir-Polder forces and find that, when the atoms are placed near the event horizon, the scaling of the Casimir-Polder interaction energy as a function of interatomic distance displays a transition from a thermallike character to a nonthermal behavior. We corroborate our findings for a quantum field prepared in the Boulware, Hartle-Hawking, and Unruh vacua. Our analysis is consistent with the nonthermal character of the Casimir-Polder interaction of two-level atoms in a relativistic accelerated frame [J. Marino et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 020403 (2014)], where a crossover from thermal scaling, consistent with the Unruh effect, to a nonthermal scaling has been observed. The two crossovers are a consequence of the noninertial character of the background where the field mediating the Casimir interaction propagates. While in the former case the characteristic crossover length scale is proportional to the inverse of the surface gravity of the black hole, in the latter it is determined by the inverse of the proper acceleration of the atoms.

We then analyze the nature of the horizon and the corresponding surface gravity outside and inside the star. The Hayward and Nielsen-Visser dynamical surface gravity are in agreement with the one resulting from the Killing vector of the outer static metric. However, these two definitions inside the star do not coincide with the Killing surface gravity outside the star when the star crosses the event horizon. This motivates us to study the surface gravity using Fodor's approach to have a unique surface gravity at the mentioned moment. Then the extremality condition and the first law of thermodynamics are discussed at the trapping horizon of the star.

Fermi Normal Coordinates (FNC) are a useful frame for isolating the locally observable, physical effects of a long-wavelength spacetime perturbation. Their cosmological application, however, is hampered by the fact that they are only valid on scales much smaller than the horizon. We introduce a generalization that we call Conformal Fermi Coordinates (CFC). CFC preserve all the advantages of FNC, but in addition are valid outside the horizon. They allow us to calculate the coupling of long- and short-wavelength modes on all scales larger than the sound horizon of the cosmological fluid, starting from the epoch of inflation until today, by removing the complications of the second order Einstein equations to a large extent, and eliminating all gauge ambiguities. As an application, we present a calculation of the effect of long-wavelength tensor modes on small scale density fluctuations. We recover previous results, but clarify the physical content of the individual contributions in terms of locally measurable effects and "projection" terms.

We regard the cosmological fluid within an exponentially expanding FLRW spacetime as the probability fluid of a nonrelativistic Schroedinger field. The scalar Schroedinger particle so described has a mass equal to the total (baryonic plus dark) matter content of the Universe. This procedure allows a description of the cosmological fluid by means of the operator formalism of nonrelativistic quantum theory. Under the assumption of radial symmetry, a quantum operator proportional to $1/r^2$ represents the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. The experimentally measured value of $\Lambda$ is one of the eigenvalues of $1/r^2$. Next we solve the Poisson equation $\nabla^2U=\Lambda$ for the gravitational potential $U(r)$, with the cosmological constant $\Lambda(r)=1/r^2$ playing the role of a source term. It turns out that $U(r)$ includes, besides the standard Newtonian potential $1/r$, a correction term proportional to $\ln r$ identical to that appearing in theories of modified Newtonian dynamics.

We regard the cosmological fluid within an exponentially expanding FLRW spacetime as the probability fluid of a nonrelativistic Schroedinger field. The scalar Schroedinger particle so described has a mass equal to the total (baryonic plus dark) matter content of the Universe. This procedure allows a description of the cosmological fluid by means of the operator formalism of nonrelativistic quantum theory.

Theorems on the emission of massless scalar particles by the CGHS black hole are presented. The convergence of the mean number of particles created spontaneously in an arbitrary state is studied and shown to be strongly dependent on the infrared behavior of this state. A bound for this quantity is given and its asymptotic forms close to the horizon and far from the black hole are investigated. The physics of a wave packet is analysed in some detail in the black-hole background. It is also shown that for some states the mean number of created particles is not thermal close to the horizon. These states have a long queue extending far from the black hole, or are unlocalised in configuration space.

The innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a test particle around a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M$ has (areal) radius $r_{\rm isco}= 6M G/c^2$. If the particle is endowed with mass $\mu(\ll M)$, it experiences a gravitational self-force whose conservative piece alters the location of the ISCO. Here we calculate the resulting shifts $\Delta r_{\rm isco}$ and $\Delta\Omega_{\rm isco}$ in the ISCO's radius and frequency, at leading order in the mass ratio $\mu/M$. We obtain, in the Lorenz gauge, $\Delta r_{\rm isco}=-3.269 (\pm 0.003)\mu G/c^2$ and $\Delta\Omega_{\rm isco}/\Omega_{\rm isco}=0.4870 (\pm 0.0006) \mu/M$. We discuss the implications of our result within the context of the extreme-mass-ratio binary inspiral problem.

In this paper, we consider the hypothesis that fractions of dark matter could be constituted by primordial black holes (PBHs). To test this possibility, we work out the observational properties of a static black hole embedded in the dark matter envelope made of a PBH source. The corresponding modifications of geometry due to such a physical system are investigated, with a particular focus on the accretion disk luminosity in spiral galaxies. The impact of the PBH presence is analyzed through modification of the disk luminosity and kinematic quantities. Thus, we discuss possible constraints on the PBH abundance in view of the most recent theoretical bounds. The results of our study indicate that suitable PBH masses are $M_\text{PBH}\in[10^6,10^{12}]M_\odot$ for PBH fractions $f_\text{PBH}\in[10^{-3},1]$. In particular, a comparison with the predictions of the exponential sphere density profile for dark matter suggests that the best-matching configuration is achieved for $f_\text{PBH}=1$ and $M_\text{PBH}=10^6 M_\odot$. Consequences with respect to the current knowledge on primordial black hole physics are discussed.

Propagation of a localised wave function of a massive scalar field is investigated in its rest frame. The complete orthogonal Hermite-Gauss basis is presented, and the Gouy phase and Rayleigh scale notions are adapted. The leading and sub-leading gravitational corrections to a localised quantum wave function propagating in a general curved spacetime geometry are calculated within the Fermi coordinates around the time-like geodesic of its rest frame, and cross-talk coefficients among the modes are derived. It is observed that spherically symmetric modes propagate along the geodesic. However, non-spherical modes are found to experience a mode-dependent residual quantum force at the sub-leading order. It is shown that the residual force does not generate an escape velocity for in-falling wave functions but leads to a mode-dependent deflection angle for the scattered ones.

In this work we discuss the exact solution to the algebraic equation associated to the Ricci tensor in the quadratic $f(R,Q)$ extension of Palatini gravity. We show that an exact solution always exists, and in the general case it can be found by a simple matrix diagonalization. Furthermore, the general implications of the solution are analysed in detail, including the generation of an effective cosmological constant, and the recovery of the $f(R)$ and $f(Q)$ theories as particular cases in their corresponding limit. In addition, it is proposed a power series expansion of the solution which is successfully applied to the case of the electromagnetic field. We show that this power series expansion may be useful to deal perturbatively with some problems in the context of Palatini gravity.

We consider the inflation produced by two coupled fluids in the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. Different cosmological models for describing inflation by use of an inhomogeneous equation of state for the fluid are investigated. The gravitational equations for energy and matter are solved, and analytic representations for the Hubble parameter and the energy density are obtained. Corrections in the energy density for matter inducing the inflation and the coupling with energy are discussed. We analyze the description of inflation induced by non-constant equation-of-state parameters from fluid viscosity. The correspondence between the spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio recently observed by the Planck satellite is considered.

We study the complete conformal geometry of shear-free spacetimes with spherical symmetry and do not specify the form of the matter content. The general conformal Killing symmetry is solved and we can explicitly exhibit the vector. The existence of a conformal symmetry places restrictions on the model. The conditions on the gravitational potentials are expressed as a system of integrability conditions. Timelike sectors and inheriting conformal symmetry vectors, which map fluid flow lines conformally onto fluid flow lines, are generated and the integrability conditions are shown to be satisfied. As an example, a spacetime, which is expanding and accelerating, is identified which contains a spherically symmetric conformal symmetry.

In this paper, it is proved that the teleparallel energy-momentum generalizes that of the ADM formalism. In doing so, it is shown that the teleparallel $4$-momentum can be made to coincide with that of the ADM approach whenever the ADM $4$-momentum is applicable. The only assumptions are the time gauge for the teleparallel frame and the well-known restrictions for the coordinate system used in the calculation of the ADM $4$-momentum. Then, examples where the ADM formalism fails to give consist results, but the teleparallel approach does not, are given. The advantages of the teleparallel stress-energy tensor (density) over the pseudo-tensor of Landau-Lifshitz are exhibited. Finally, the difficulties in identifying the gravitational angular momentum density is discussed; it is shown that the spatial part of the proposed angular momentum density $M^{ab}$ vanishes when the teleparallel frame satisfies the time gauge condition.

Enforcing the spacetime of supermassive cosmic strings to satisfy the symmetry of a gravitational topological defect, that is a spacetime kink, it is shown that the energy of these strings becomes quantized so that only defects whose internal geometry is that of a hemisphere (critical string) and that of a sphere (extreme string) are allowed. In the latter case, the exterior conical singularity becomes an event-horizon singularity which can be removed by using the Kruskal technique in the kink metric. It is also shown that the geodesically complete metric of the extreme string can accommodate closed timelike curves which are compatible with quantum theory, but cannot be noticed by any observers. The quantum string can also drive an essentially unique process of inflationary expansion in its core, without any fine tuning of the initial conditions.

An enquiry into the physical nature of time and space and into the ontology of quantum mechanics from a metageometric perspective, resulting from the belief that geometric thought and language are powerless to farther understanding of these issues, restricting instead physical progress. The nature and assumptions of quantum gravity are analysed critically, including misgivings about the relevance of the Planck scale to it and its lack of observational referent in the natural world. The anthropic foundations of geometry are investigated. The exclusive use of geometric thought from antiquity to present-day physics is found to permeate all new attempts towards better theories, including quantum gravity and, within it, even pregeometry. The problem of the ether is found to have perpetuated itself up to the present by transmuting its form from mechanical, through metric, to geometric. A clarification is made of the physical, mathematical, and psychological foundations of relativity and quantum theories. The former is founded geometrically on measurement-based clock-reading separations ds. The latter is founded metageometrically on the experiment-based concepts of premeasurement and transition things, inspired in the physically unexplored aspect of time as a consciousness-related product. A concept of metageometric time is developed and coordinate time t is recovered from it. Discovery of the connection between quantum-mechanical metageometric time elements and general-relativistic clock time elements ds is deemed necessary for a combined understanding of time. Time is conjectured to be the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

In this paper, we investigate the potential of dark sirens by the space-borne atom interferometric gravitational-wave detectors to probe the Hubble constant. In the mid-frequency band, the sources live a long time. The motion of a detector around the Sun as well as in Earth orbit would induce large Doppler and reorientation effects, providing a precise angular resolution. Such precise localization for the GW sources makes it possible to observe the dark sirens with only one potential host galaxy, which are dubbed "golden dark sirens". We construct the catalogs of golden dark sirens and estimate that there are around 79 and 35 golden dark sirens of binary neutron stars (BNS) and binary black holes (BBH) that would be pass the detection threshold of AEDGE in 5 years. Our results show that with 5, 10, and all 79 golden dark BNS tracked by AEDGE one can constrain $H_0$ at 5.5\%, 4.1\%, and 1.8\% precision levels. With 5, 10, and all 35 golden dark BBH one can constrain $H_0$ at 2.2\%, 1.8\%, and 1.5\% precision levels, respectively. It suggests that only 5-10 golden dark BBH by AEDGE are sufficient to arbitrate the current tension between local and high-$z$ measurements of $H_0$.

An analysis is given of thermoelastic noise (thermal noise due to thermoelastic dissipation) in finite sized test masses of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Finite-size effects increase the thermoelastic noise by a modest amount; for example, for the sapphire test masses tentatively planned for LIGO-II and plausible beam-spot radii, the increase is less than or of order 10 per cent. As a side issue, errors are pointed out in the currently used formulas for conventional, homogeneous thermal noise (noise associated with dissipation which is homogeneous and described by an imaginary part of the Young's modulus) in finite sized test masses. Correction of these errors increases the homogeneous thermal noise by less than or of order 5 per cent for LIGO-II-type configurations.

The slow-roll approximation to inflation is ultimately justified by the presence of inflationary attractors for the orbits of the solutions of the dynamical equations in phase space. There are many indications that the inflaton field couples nonminimally to the spacetime curvature: the existence of attractor points for inflation with nonminimal coupling is demonstrated, subject to a condition on the inflaton potential and the value of the coupling constant.

We present a new method for treating the inner Cauchy boundary of a black hole spacetime by matching to a characteristic evolution. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a scheme relative to Cauchy-only approaches. A prototype code, for the spherically symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating scalar field, shows that matching performs at least as well as other approaches to handling the inner boundary.

We emphasize that a specific aspect of quantum gravity is the absence of a super-selection rule that prevents a linear superposition of different gravitational charges. As an immediate consequence, we obtain a tiny, but observable, violation of the equivalence principle, provided, inertial and gravitational masses are not assumed to be operationally identical objects. In this framework, the cosmic gravitational environment affects local experiments. A range of terrestrial experiments, from neutron interferometry to neutrino oscillations, can serve as possible probes to study the emergent quantum aspects of gravity.

We reanalyze the binary-neutron-star signals, GW170817 and GW190425, focusing on the inspiral regime to avoid uncertainties on waveform modeling in the postinspiral regime. We use post-Newtonian waveform models as templates, which are theoretically rigid and efficiently describe the inspiral regime. We study potential systematic difference in estimates of the binary tidal deformability $\tilde{\Lambda}$ by using different descriptions for the point-particle dynamics and tidal effects. We find that the estimates of $\tilde{\Lambda}$ show no significant systematic difference among three models for the point-particle parts: TF2, TF2g, and TF2+, when they employ the same tidal model. We compare different tidal descriptions given by different post-Newtonian orders in the tidal phase. Our results indicate that the estimates of $\tilde{\Lambda}$ slightly depend on the post-Newtonian order in the tidal phase and an increase in the tidal post-Newtonian order does not lead to a monotonic change in the estimate of $\tilde{\Lambda}$. We also compare the estimate of $\tilde{\Lambda}$ obtained by the post-Newtonian tidal model and numerical-relativity calibrated tidal models. We find that the post-Newtonian model gives slightly larger estimate of $\tilde{\Lambda}$ and wider posterior distribution than the numerical-relativity calibrated models. According to Bayesian model comparison, it is difficult to identify a preference among the post-Newtonian orders by relying on the GW170817 and GW190425 data. Our results indicate no preference among numerical-relativity calibrated tidal models over the post-Newtonian model. Additionally, we present constraints on equation-of-state models for neutron stars with the post-Newtonian model, which show that the GW170817 data disfavor less compact models, though they are slightly weaker constraints than the numerical-relativity calibrated tidal models.

As the gravitational wave detector network is upgraded and the sensitivity of the detectors improves, novel scientific avenues open for exploration. For example, tests of general relativity will become more accurate as smaller deviations can be probed. Additionally, the detection of lensed gravitational waves becomes more likely. However, these new avenues could also interact with each other, and a gravitational wave event presenting deviations from general relativity could be mistaken for a lensed one. Here, we explore how phenomenological deviations from general relativity or binaries of exotic compact objects could impact those lensing searches focusing on a single event. We consider strong lensing, millilensing, and microlensing and find that certain phenomenological deviations from general relativity may be mistaken for all of these types of lensing. Therefore, our study shows that future candidate lensing events would need to be carefully examined to avoid a false claim of lensing where instead a deviation from general relativity has been seen.

Quantum general relativity may be considered as generally covariant QFT on differentiable manifolds, without any a priori metric structure. The kinematically covariance group acts by general diffeomorphisms on the manifold and by automorphisms on the isotonic net of *-algebras encoding the QFT, while the algebra of observables is covariant under the dynamical subgroup of the general diffeomorphism group. Here, I focus on an algebraic implementation of the dynamical subgroup of dilations. Introducing an small and large scale cutoffs algebraically, their usual a priori conflict with general covariance is avoided. Thereby, a commutant duality between the minimal and maximal algebra is proposed. This allows to extract the modular structure, which is again related to the dilations.

Describing the gravitational energy-momentum, the super-energy Bel-Robinson tensor is the best candidate. In the past, people seems only explore the lowest order: the electric part $E_{ab}$ and magnetic part $B_{ab}$ for the Riemann tensor. These two components are related with the static case, however, for the energy transfer situation, one may need to consider the time varying $\dot{E}_{ab}$ and $\dot{B}_{ab}$. Here we use $(\dot{E}_{ab},\dot{B}_{ab}$) to study the energy-momentum for the Bel-Robinson tensor in a small sphere limit. Meanwhile, our result illustrates how the gravitational field carries the 4-momentum including this extra information.

The spaces include $S^2, S^3$, and $T^3$ with prescribed time evolution and $S^1$, where the temporal developments are backreaction determined. Vacuum compressibility belongs to the same group of quantum thermodynamic / mechanical response functions as vacuum viscosity, a concept first proposed in 1970 by Zel'dovich for capturing the effects of vacuum particle production on the dynamics of the early universe, made precise by rigorous work of many authors in the following decade using quantum field theory in curved spacetime methodologies and semiclassical gravity theory for treating backreaction effects. Various subtleties in understanding the behavior of the vacuum energies of quantum field origins, negative pressures and novel complicated features of dynamical compressibility are discussed.

The different kinds of self-similarity in general relativity are discussed, with special emphasis on similarity of the ``first'' kind, corresponding to spacetimes admitting a homothetic vector. We then survey the various classes of self-similar solutions to Einstein's field equations and the different mathematical approaches used in studying them. We focus mainly on spatially homogenous and spherically symmetric self-similar solutions, emphasizing their possible roles as asymptotic states for more general models. Perfect fluid spherically symmetric similarity solutions have recently been completely classified, and we discuss various astrophysical and cosmological applications of such solutions. Finally we consider more general types of self-similar models.

We look at the transition to the semiclassical behaviour and the decoherence process for the inhomogeneous perturbations in the inflationary universe. Two different decoherence mechanisms appear: one dynamical, accompanied with a negligible, if at all, entropy gain, and the other, effectively irreversible dephasing, due to a rapid variation in time of the off-diagonal density matrix elements in the post-inflationary epoch. We thus settle the discrepancies in the entropy content of perturbations evaluated by different authors.

We study the motion of free masses subject to the influence of standing gravitational waves in the polarized Gowdy cosmology with a three-torus topology. We show that antinodes attract freely falling particles and we trace the velocity memory effect.

For an asymptotically flat initial data, the Penrose inequality gives a lower bound of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner total mass of a spacetime in terms of the area of certain surfaces representing black holes. This is a deep and beautiful refinement of the famous positive mass theorem and it plays an important role in the study of gravitational collapse. Gravitational collapse can also happen if sufficient mass is concentrated into a finite region. This motivates us to seek a localized version of the Penrose inequality. In this Letter, we successfully make a precise statement of this form for the Liu-Yau quasi-local mass in spherical symmetry.

Recently, some papers in the literature have shown that, from a bimetric theory of gravity, it is possible to produce massive gravitational waves which generate a longitudinal component in a particular polarization of the wave. After a review of previous works, in this paper the longitudinal response function of interferometers for this particular polarization of the wave is computed in two different gauges, showing the gauge invariance, and in its full frequency dependence, with specific application to the Virgo and LIGO interferometers.

We describe in details the procedure how the Lobachevsky space can be factorized to a space of the constant negative curvature filled with a gas of wormholes. We show that such wormholes have throat sections in the form of tori and are traversable and stable in the cosmological context. The relation of such wormholes to the dark matter phenomenon is briefly described. We also discuss the possibility of the existence of analogous factorizations for all types of homogeneous spaces.

Scalar, tensor waves induce oscillatory perturbations in Keplerian systems that can be probed with measurements of pulsar timing residuals. In this paper, we consider the imprint of coherent oscillations produced by ultralight axion dark matter on the Roemer time delay. We use the angle-action formalism to calculate the time evolution of the observed signal and its dependence on the orbital parameters and the axion phase. We derive exact analytical expressions for arbitrary binary pulsar mass ratio and eccentricity, alleviating the need for long numerical integrations. We emphasize the similarity of the expected signal-to-noise ratio with the response of a harmonic oscillator to an external oscillatory driving. We validate our theoretical predictions with numerical simulations. Our results furnish a useful benchmark for numerical codes and analysis procedures and, hopefully, will motivate the search for such imprints in real data.

The Brownian motion of a point particle induced by quantum vacuum fluctuations of a massless real scalar field in Einstein's universe is studied. By assuming the small displacement condition, the dispersion in the momentum and position of a point particle coupled to the massless scalar field are obtained. As a consequence of the homogeneity and isotropy properties of the Einstein's Universe, we find that all components of these physical observables are identical. We also examine divergent behaviors associated to the physical momentum and position dispersions, which we attribute to the $R^1\times S^3$ compact topology of the spacetime. Finally, based on the small displacement condition assumed, we analyze the limit of validity of our investigation.

The nature of critical points will be analyzed by evaluating the eigenvalues of a linearized Jacobi matrix. Also, the statefinder diagnostic procedure will be applied to show the slight deviation from the {\Lambda}CDM model.

We consider the limit $a\rightarrow \infty$ of the Kerr-de Sitter spacetime. The spacetime is a Petrov type-D solution of the vacuum Einstein field equations with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$, vanishing Mars-Simon tensor and conformally flat scri. It possesses an Abelian 2-dimensional group of symmetries whose orbits are spacelike or timelike in different regions, and it includes, as a particular case, de Sitter spacetime. The global structure of the solution is analyzed in detail, with particular attention to its Killing horizons: they are foliated by non-compact marginally trapped surfaces of finite area, and one of them `touches' the curvature singularity, which resembles a null 2-dimensional surface. Outside the region between these horizons there exist trapped surfaces that again are non-compact. The solution contains, apart from $\Lambda$, a unique free parameter which can be related to the angular momentum of the non-singular horizon in a precise way. A maximal extension of the (axis of the) spacetime is explicitly built. We also analyze the structure of scri, whose topology is $\mathbb{R}^3$.

We show that gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers may be better distinguished from instrumental noise transients by using Bayesian models that look for signal coherence across a detector network. This can be achieved even when the signal power is below the usual threshold for detection. This method could reject the vast majority of noise transients, and therefore increase sensitivity to weak gravitational waves. We demonstrate this using simulated signals, as well as data for GW150914 and LVT151012. Finally, we explore ways of incorporating our method into existing Advanced LIGO and Virgo searches to make them significantly more powerful.

Gravitational waves searches for compact binary mergers with LIGO and Virgo are presently a two stage process. First, a gravitational wave signal is identified. Then, an exhaustive search over possible signal parameters is performed. It is critical that the identification stage is efficient in order to maximize the number of gravitational wave sources that are identified. Initial identification of gravitational wave signals with LIGO and Virgo happens in real-time which requires that less than one second of computational time must be used for each one second of gravitational wave data collected. In contrast, subsequent parameter estimation may require hundreds of hours of computational time to analyze the same one second of gravitational wave data. The real-time identification requirement necessitates efficient and often approximate methods for signal analysis. We describe one piece of real-time gravitational-wave identification: an efficient method for ascertaining a signal's consistency between multiple gravitational wave detectors suitable for real-time gravitational wave searches for compact binary mergers. This technique was used in analyses of Advanced LIGO's second observing run and Advanced Virgo's first observing run.

We provide a strange star model under the framework of general relativity by using a general linear equation of state (EOS). The solution set thus obtained is employed on altogether 20 compact star candidates to constraint values of MIT bag model. No specific value of the bag constant ($B$) a-priori is assumed rather possible range of values for bag constant is determined from observational data of the said set of compact stars. To do so the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation is solved by homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and hence we get a mass function for the stellar system. The solution to the Einstein field equations represents a non-singular, causal and stable stellar structure which can be related to strange stars. Eventually we get an interesting result on the range of the bag constant as 41.58~MeV~fm$^{-3}< B <$319.31~MeV~fm$^{-3}$. We have found the maximum surface redshift $Z^{max}_{s}=0.63$ and shown that the central redshift ($Z_c$) can not have value larger than $2k$, where $k=2.010789 \pm 0.073203$. Also we provide a possible value of bag constant for neutron star (NS) with quark core using hadronic as well as quark EOS.

If the fundamental constants of nature have a cosmic spatial variation, there will in general be extra forces with a preferred direction in space which violate the equivalence principle. We show that the millimeter-precision Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation provides a very sensitive probe of such variation that has the capability of detecting a cosmic gradient of the ratio between the quark masses and the strong interaction scale at the level with the gradient of ln (m_quark/Lambda_QCD) ~ 2.6 x 10^-6 Glyr^-1, which is comparable to the cosmic gradients suggested by the recently reported measurements of Webb et al. We also point out the capability of presently planned improved equivalence principle tests, at the Delta g/g < 10^-17 level, to probe similar cosmic gradients.

The remarkable feature of this interferometer is that, at certain frequencies, gravitational-wave signals are amplified, while displacement noises are not.

We employ a recently developed mode-sum regularization method to compute the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a quantum field in the Kerr background metric (describing a stationary spinning black hole). More specifically, we consider a minimally-coupled massless scalar field in the Unruh vacuum state, the quantum state corresponding to an evaporating black hole. The computation is done here for the case $a=0.7M$, using two different variants of the method: $t$-splitting and $\varphi$-splitting, yielding good agreement between the two (in the domain where both are applicable). We briefly discuss possible implications of the results for computing semiclassical corrections to certain quantities, and also for simulating dynamical evaporation of a spinning black hole.

More specifically, we consider a minimally-coupled massless scalar field in the Unruh vacuum state, the quantum state corresponding to an evaporating black hole. The computation is done here for the case $a=0.7M$, using two different variants of the method: $t$-splitting and $\varphi$-splitting, yielding good agreement between the two (in the domain where both are applicable). We briefly discuss possible implications of the results for computing semiclassical corrections to certain quantities, and also for simulating dynamical evaporation of a spinning black hole.

The chapter expounds a theory based on the interpretation of the dark energy as a strain energy of a physical continuum. The theory is based on the analogy that exists between the properties of space-time and the properties of elastic materials, when extended to four dimensions and the Lorentzian signature. In practice the starting point is an action integral that contains an additional term built as elastic potential energy of strained materials is. Besides this vacuum energy term matter/energy fields appear as usual. The strain energy term is based on the strain tensor of empty space-time which in turn is obtained from the non trivial part of the metric tensor. The Strained State Cosmology (SSC) is deduced from this approach when a Robertson-Walker symmetry is assumed: The result accounts for the accelerated expansion of the universe and agrees with observation passing four typical cosmological tests

We consider a spatially homogeneous and isotropic system of Dirac particles coupled to classical gravity. The dust and radiation dominated closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-times are recovered as limiting cases. We find a mechanism where quantum oscillations of the Dirac wave functions can prevent the formation of the big bang or big crunch singularity. Thus before the big crunch, the collapse of the universe is stopped by quantum effects and reversed to an expansion, so that the universe opens up entering a new era of classical behavior. Numerical examples of such space-times are given, and the dependence on various parameters is discussed. Generically, one has a collapse after a finite number of cycles. By fine-tuning the parameters we construct an example of a space-time which is time-periodic, thus running through an infinite number of contraction and expansion cycles.

To perform realistic tests of theories of gravity, we need to be able to look beyond general relativity and evaluate the consistency of alternative theories with observational data from, especially, gravitational wave detections using, for example, an agnostic Bayesian approach. In this paper we further examine properties of one class of such viable, alternative theories, based on metrics arising from ungauged supergravity. In particular, we examine the massless, neutral, minimally coupled scalar wave equation in a general stationary, axisymmetric background metric such as that of a charged rotating black hole, when the scalar field is either time independent or in the low-frequency, near-zone limit, with a view to calculating the Love numbers of tidal perturbations, and of obtaining harmonic coordinates for the background metric. For a four-parameter family of charged asymptotically flat rotating black hole solutions of ungauged supergravity theory known as STU black holes, which includes Kaluza-Klein black holes and the Kerr-Sen black hole as special cases, we find that all time-independent solutions, and hence the harmonic coordinates of the metrics, are identical to those of the Kerr solution. In the low-frequency limit we find the scalar fields exhibit the same $SL(2,R)$ symmetry as holds in the case of the Kerr solution. We point out extensions of our results to a wider class of metrics, which includes solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory.

We present a detailed investigation into the properties of GW170729, the gravitational wave with the most massive and distant source confirmed to date. We employ an extensive set of waveform models, including new improved models that incorporate the effect of higher-order waveform modes which are particularly important for massive systems. We find no indication of spin-precession, but the inclusion of higher-order modes in the models results in an improved estimate for the mass ratio of $(0.3-0.8)$ at the 90\% credible level. Our updated measurement excludes equal masses at that level. We also find that models with higher-order modes lead to the data being more consistent with a smaller effective spin, with the probability that the effective spin is greater than zero being reduced from $99\%$ to $94\%$. The 90\% credible interval for the effective spin parameter is now $(-0.01-0.50)$. Additionally, the recovered signal-to-noise ratio increases by $\sim0.3$ units compared to analyses without higher-order modes. We study the effect of common spin priors on the derived spin and mass measurements, and observe small shifts in the spins, while the masses remain unaffected. We argue that our conclusions are robust against systematic errors in the waveform models. We also compare the above waveform-based analysis which employs compact-binary waveform models to a more flexible wavelet- and chirplet-based analysis. We find consistency between the two, with overlaps of $\sim 0.9$, typical of what is expected from simulations of signals similar to GW170729, confirming that the data are well-described by the existing waveform models. Finally, we study the possibility that the primary component of GW170729 was the remnant of a past merger of two black holes and find this scenario to be indistinguishable from the standard formation scenario.

Various astrophysical and cosmological observations today serve as an indirect evidence of the existence of dark matter in the universe. In the present work, we propose a class of spacetimes that show some important characteristics relevant to the spacetime of a dark matter halo. These spacetimes are static and spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations. The proposed spacetimes satisfy the flat velocity profile of a galactic object far away from the center, they give good agreement to the astrometric data of the S2 star, and these also cast a central shadow. Using the Penrose diagram, we show that the causal nature of the central singularity here is null. This single spacetime model for galactic dark matter may therefore be used to explain some of the properties of galactic dynamics at different length scales.

The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron stars estimated from this event suggests that distant, unresolvable binary neutron stars create a significant astrophysical stochastic gravitational-wave background. The binary neutron star background will add to the background from binary black holes, increasing the amplitude of the total astrophysical background relative to previous expectations. In the Advanced LIGO-Virgo frequency band most sensitive to stochastic backgrounds (near 25 Hz), we predict a total astrophysical background with amplitude $\Omega_{\rm GW} (f=25 \text{Hz}) = 1.8_{-1.3}^{+2.7} \times 10^{-9}$ with $90\%$ confidence, compared with $\Omega_{\rm GW} (f=25 \text{Hz}) = 1.1_{-0.7}^{+1.2} \times 10^{-9}$ from binary black holes alone. Assuming the most probable rate for compact binary mergers, we find that the total background may be detectable with a signal-to-noise-ratio of 3 after 40 months of total observation time, based on the expected timeline for Advanced LIGO and Virgo to reach their design sensitivity.

In the present work, using the recently introduced framework of local geometric deformations, special types of vector fields - so-called hidden Killing vector fields - are constructed, which solve the Killing equation not globally, but only locally, i.e. in local subregions of spacetime. Taking advantage of the fact that the vector fields coincide locally with Killing fields and therefore allow the consideration of integral laws that convert into exact physical conservation laws on local scales, balance laws in dynamical systems without global Killing symmetries are derived that mimic as closely as possible the conservation laws for energy and angular momentum of highly symmetric models. The utility of said balance laws is demonstrated by a concrete geometric example, namely a toy model for the binary merger of two extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes.

Considerable interest has recently been expressed regarding the issue of whether or not quantum field theory on a fixed but curved background spacetime satisfies the averaged null energy condition (ANEC). A comment by Wald and Yurtsever [Phys. Rev. D43, 403 (1991)] indicates that in general the answer is no. In this note I explore this issue in more detail, and succeed in characterizing a broad class of spacetimes in which the ANEC is guaranteed to be violated. Finally, I add some comments regarding ANEC violation in Schwarzschild spacetime.

A natural mapping of paths in a curved space onto the paths in the corresponding (tangent) flat space may be used to reduce the curved-space-time path integral to the flat-space-time path integral. The dynamics of the particle in a curved space-time is expressed then in terms of an integral over paths in the flat (Minkowski) space-time. This may be called quantum equivalence principle. Contrary to the known DeWitt's definition of a curved-space path integral, the present definition leads to the covariant equation of motion without a scalar curvature term. The reduction of a curved-space path integral to the flat-space path integral may be expressed in terms of a representation of the path group. With the help of this representation all the results may be generalized to the case of an arbitrary external field.

Torsion in a 5D spacetime is considered. In this case gravitation is defined by the 5D metric and the torsion. It is conjectured that torsion is connected with a spinor field. In this case Dirac's equation becomes the nonlinear Heisenberg equation. It is shown that this equation has a discrete spectrum of solutions with each solution being regular on the whole space and having finite energy. Every solution is concentrated on the Planck region and hence we can say that torsion should play an important role in quantum gravity in the formation of bubbles of spacetime foam. On the basis of the algebraic relation between torsion and the classical spinor field in Einstein-Cartan gravity the geometrical interpretation of the spinor field is considered as ``the square root'' of torsion.

In this work, the focus is on the improvement of the existing post-Newtonian approximation for the gravitational flux from Super Massive Black Hole Binaries. In order to improve the existing templates for LISA, we need more accurate post-Newtonian expansions for the gravitational flux. Stochastic search techniques like the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) have been used extensively for searching for sky parameters etc. The idea is to combine the two and approach the problem of finding post-Newtonian coefficients using MCMC. It has been shown that matching against a 5.5PN signal, with noise, the last coefficient can be found by MCMC very easily and displays fast convergence. Also the space for higher dimensional searches are explored.

We have previously proposed that asymptotically AdS 3D wormholes and black holes can be analytically continued to the Euclidean signature. The analytic continuation procedure was described for non-rotating spacetimes, for which a plane t=0 of time symmetry exists. The resulting Euclidean manifolds turned out to be handlebodies whose boundary is the Schottky double of the geometry of the t=0 plane. In the present paper we generalize this analytic continuation map to the case of rotating wormholes. The Euclidean manifolds we obtain are quotients of the hyperbolic space by a certain quasi-Fuchsian group. The group is the Fenchel-Nielsen deformation of the group of the non-rotating spacetime. The angular velocity of an asymptotic region is shown to be related to the Fenchel-Nielsen twist. This solves the problem of classification of rotating black holes and wormholes in 2+1 dimensions: the spacetimes are parametrized by the moduli of the boundary of the corresponding Euclidean spaces. We also comment on the thermodynamics of the wormhole spacetimes.

We investigate quasi-free Hadamard states defined via characteristic initial data on null cones centred at the axis of symmetry in spherically symmetric space-times. We characterize the necessary singular behaviour of null boundary two-point functions such that one can define non-linear observables at this null boundary and give formulas for the calculation of these observables. These results extend earlier characterizations of null boundary states defining Hadamard states in the bulk of the null cone. As an application of our derived formulas, we consider their implications for the semi-classical Einstein equations and calculate the vacuum polarization associated with Hawking radiation near a collapsing body.

We study stability conditions of the full Hamiltonian constraint equation describing the quantum dynamics of the diagonal Bianchi I model in the context of LQC. Our analysis has shown robust evidence of an instability in the explicit implementation of the difference equation, implying important consequences for the correspondence between the full LQG theory and LQC. As a result, one may question the choice of the quantisation approach, the model of lattice refinement, and/or the role of the ambiguity parameters; all these should in principle be dictated by the full LQG theory.

The theory of gauge-invariant non-spherical metric perturbations of Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes is now well established. Yet, as different notations and conventions have been used throughout the years, the literature on the subject is often confusing and sometimes confused. The purpose of this paper is to review and collect the relevant expressions related to the Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equations for the odd and even-parity perturbations of a Schwarzschild spacetime. Special attention is paid to the form they assume in the presence of matter-sources and, for the two most popular conventions in the literature, to the asymptotic expressions and gravitational-wave amplitudes. Besides pointing out some inconsistencies in the literature, the expressions collected here could serve as a quick reference for the calculation of the perturbations of Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes driven by generic sources and for those approaches in which gravitational waves are extracted from numerically generated spacetimes.

We consider a D dimensional Kasner type diagonal spacetime where metric functions depend only on a single coordinate and electromagnetic field shares the symmetries of spacetime. These solutions can describe static cylindrical or cosmological Einstein-Maxwell vacuum spacetimes. We mainly focus on electrovacuum solutions and four different types of solutions are obtained in which one of them has no four dimensional counterpart. We also consider the properties of the general solution corresponding to the exterior field of a charged line mass and discuss its several properties. Although it resembles the same form with four dimensional one, there is a difference on the range of the solutions for fixed signs of the parameters. General magnetic field vacuum solution are also briefly discussed, which reduces to Bonnor-Melvin magnetic universe for a special choice of the parameters. The Kasner forms of the general solution are also presented for the cylindrical or cosmological cases.

The problem of the cosmological constant is considered in the formalism of an extended space-time consisting of the extended classical solution of Einstein equations. The different regions of the extended manifold are proposed to be related by the charge, parity, time and mass (CPTM) reversal symmetry applied with respect to the metric fields of the manifolds. There are interactions between the points of the extended manifold provided by scalar fields present separately in the different patches of the extended solution. The value of the constant is obtained equal to zero at the classical level due the mutual contribution of the fields in the vacuum energy, it's non-zero value is due the quantum interactions between the fields. There are few possible scenario for the actions of the fields are discussed. Each from the obtained variants is similar to the closed time path approach of non-equilibrium condensed matter physics and among these possibilities for the closed paths, there is a variant of the action equivalent to the formalism of Keldysh. Accordingly, we consider and shortly discuss the application of the proposed formalism to the problem of smallness of the cosmological constant and singularities problem.
