We present an efficient numerical code based on spectral methods to integrate the field equations of general Robinson-Trautmann spacetimes. The most natural basis functions for the spectral expansion of the metric functions are spherical harmonics. Using the values of appropriate combinations of the metric functions at the collocation points, we have managed to reduce expression swell when the number of spherical harmonics increases. Our numerical code runs with relatively little computational resources and the code tests have shown excellent accuracy and convergence. The code has been applied to situations of physical interest in the context of Robsinson-Trautmann geometries such as: perturbation of the exterior gravitational field of a spheroid of matter; perturbation of an initially boosted black hole; and the non-frontal collision of two Schwarzschild black holes. In dealing with these processes we have derived analytical lower and upper bounds on the velocity of the resulting black hole and the efficiency of the gravitational wave extraction, respectively. Numerical experiments were performed to determine the forms of the gravitational waves and the efficiency in each situation of interest.

The goal of the recently approved space-based LARES mission is to measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the spinning Earth at a repeatedly claimed 1% accuracy by combining its node Omega with those of the existing LAGEOS and LAGEOS II laser-ranged satellites. In this paper we show that, in view of the lower altitude of LARES (h=1450 km) with respect to LAGEOS and LAGEOS II (h\approx 6000 km), the cross-coupling between the effect of the atmospheric drag, both neutral and charged, on the inclination of LARES and its classical node precession due to the Earth's oblateness may induce a 3-9% year^-1 systematic bias on the total relativistic precession. Since its extraction from the data will take about 5-10 years, such a perturbing effect may degrade the total accuracy of the test, especially in view of the large uncertainties in modeling the drag force.

Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. Based on these results, we propose a phenomenological family of waveforms which can model the inspiral, merger, and ring-down stages of black hole coalescence. We also construct a template bank using this family of waveforms and discuss its implementation in the search for signatures of gravitational waves produced by black-hole coalescences in the data of ground-based interferometers. This template bank might enable us to extend the present inspiral searches to higher-mass binary black-hole systems, i.e., systems with total mass greater than about 80 solar masses, thereby increasing the reach of the current generation of ground-based detectors.

Despite the finiteness of stress tensor for a scalar field on the four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in the Israel-Hartle-Hawking vacuum, the Tolman temperature in thermal equilibrium is certainly divergent on the horizon due to the infinite blueshift of the Hawking temperature. The origin of this conflict is due to the fact that the conventional Tolman temperature was based on the assumption of a traceless stress tensor, which is, however, incompatible with the presence of the trace anomaly responsible for the Hawking radiation. Here, we present an effective Tolman temperature which is compatible with the presence of the trace anomaly by using the modified Stefan-Boltzmann law. Eventually, the effective Tolman temperature turns out to be finite everywhere outside the horizon, and so there does not appear infinite blueshift of the Hawking temperature at the event horizon any more. In particular, it is vanishing on the horizon, so that the equivalence principle is exactly recovered at the horizon.

We present new results concerning the Proca massive vector field in a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole geometry. We provide a first principles analysis of Proca vector fields in this geometry using both the vector spherical harmonic (VSH) separation method and the Frolov-Krtou\v{s}-Kubiz\v{n}\'{a}k-Santos (FKKS) method that separates the relevant equations in spinning geometries. The analysis in the VSH method shows, on one hand, that it is arduous to separate the scalar-type from the vector-type polarizations of the electric sector of the Proca field, and on the other hand, it displays clearly the electric and the magnetic mode sectors. The analysis in the FKKS method is performed by taking the nonrotating limit of the Kerr-AdS spacetime, and shows that the ansatz decouples the polarizations in the electric mode sector even in the nonrotating limit. On the other hand, it captures only two of the three possible polarizations, the magnetic mode sector is missing. The reason for the absence of this polarization is related to the degeneracy of the principal tensor in static spherical symmetric spacetimes. The degrees of freedom and quasinormal modes in both separation methods of the Proca field are found. The frequencies of the quasinormal modes are also computed. For the electric mode sector in the VSH method the frequencies are found through an extension, which substitutes number coefficients by matrix coefficients, of the Horowitz-Hubeny numerical procedure, whereas for the magnetic mode sector in the VSH method and the electric sector of the FKKS method it is shown that a direct use of the procedure can be made. The values of the quasinormal mode frequencies obtained for each method are compared and showed to be in good agreement with each other. This further supports the analytical approaches presented here for the behavior of the Proca field in a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole background.

In a quantum gravity theory, spacetime at mesoscopic scales can acquire a novel structure very different from the classical concept of general relativity. A way to effectively characterize the quantum nature of spacetime is through a momentum dependent space-time metric. There is a vast literature showing that this geometry is related to deformed relativistic kinematics, which is precisely a way to capture residual effects of a quantum gravity theory. In this work, we study the notion of surface gravity in a momentum dependent Schwarzschild black hole geometry. We show that using the two main notions of surface gravity in general relativity we obtain a momentum independent result. However, there are several definitions of surface gravity, all of them equivalent in general relativity when there is a Killing horizon. We show that in our scheme, despite the persistence of a Killing horizon, these alternative notions only agree in a very particular momentum basis, obtained in a previous work, so further supporting its physical relevance.

Exact analytic expressions for planetary orbits and light trajectories in the Schwarzschild geometry are presented. A new parameter space is used to characterize all possible planetary orbits. Different regions in this parameter space can be associated with different characteristics of the orbits. The boundaries for these regions are clearly defined. Observational data can be directly associated with points in the regions. A possible extension of these considerations with an additional parameter for the case of Kerr geometry is briefly discussed.

Binary black-hole coalescence is treated semi-analytically by a novel approach. Our prescription employs the conservative Skeleton Hamiltonian that describes orbiting Brill-Lindquist wormholes (termed punctures in Numerical Relativity) within a waveless truncation to the Einstein field equations [G. Faye, P. Jaranowski and G. Sch\"afer, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 69}, 124029 (2004)]. We incorporate, in a transparent Hamiltonian way and in Burke-Thorne gauge structure, the effects of gravitational radiation reaction into the above Skeleton dynamics with the help of 3.5PN accurate angular momentum flux for compact binaries in quasi-circular orbits to obtain a Semi-Analytic Puncture Evolution to model merging black-hole binaries. With the help of the TaylorT4 approximant at 3.5PN order, we perform a {\it first-order} comparison between gravitational wave phase evolutions in Numerical Relativity and our approach for equal-mass binary black holes. This comparison reveals that a modified Skeletonian reactive dynamics that employs flexible parameters will be required to prevent the dephasing between our scheme and Numerical Relativity, similar to what is pursued in the Effective One Body approach. A rough estimate for the gravitational waveform associated with the binary black-hole coalescence in our approach is also provided.

Simple generic extensions of isotropic Durgapal--Fuloria stars to the anisotropic domain are presented. These anisotropic solutions are obtained by guided minimal deformations over a self gravitating isotropic system. When the isotropic and the anisotropic sector interacts in a purely gravitational manner, the conditions to decouple both sectors by means of the minimal geometric deformation approach are satisfied. Hence the anisotropic field equations are isolated resulting a more treatable set. The simplicity of the equations allows one to manipulate the anisotropies that can be implemented in a systematic way to obtain different realistic models for anisotropic configurations. Later on, observational effects of such anisotropies when measuring the redshift are discussed. To conclude, the application of the method over anisotropic solutions is generalized. In this manner, different anisotropic sectors can be isolated of each other and modeled in a simple and systematic way. Besides, a generic property of the minimal geometric deformation approach, its noncommutativity, is discussed. This property duplicates the solutions obtained through this approach; anisotropies applied in the reversed order give different physically acceptable configurations.

In general relativity, gravitational collapse of matter fields ends with the formation of a spacetime singularity, where the matter density becomes infinite and standard physics breaks down. According to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, singularities produced in the gravitational collapse cannot be seen by distant observers and must be hidden within black holes. The validity of this conjecture is still controversial and at present we cannot exclude that naked singularities can be created in our Universe from regular initial data. In this paper, we study the radiation emitted by a collapsing cloud of dust and check whether it is possible to distinguish the birth of a black hole from the one of a naked singularity. In our simple dust model, we find that the properties of the radiation emitted in the two scenarios is qualitatively similar. That suggests that observational tests of the cosmic censorship conjecture may be very difficult, even in principle.

In this paper, we study the radiation emitted by a collapsing cloud of dust and check whether it is possible to distinguish the birth of a black hole from the one of a naked singularity. In our simple dust model, we find that the properties of the radiation emitted in the two scenarios is qualitatively similar. That suggests that observational tests of the cosmic censorship conjecture may be very difficult, even in principle.

In Kaluza-Klein models, we investigate soliton solutions of Einstein equation. We obtain the formulas for perihelion shift, deflection of light, time delay of radar echoes and PPN parameters. We find that the solitonic parameter k should be very big: |k|\geq 2.3\times10^4. We define a soliton solution which corresponds to a point-like mass source. In this case the soliton parameter k=2, which is clearly contrary to this restriction. Similar problem with the observations takes place for static spherically symmetric perfect fluid with the dust-like equation of state in all dimensions. The common for both of these models is the same equations of state in our three dimensions and in the extra dimensions. All dimensions are treated at equal footing. To be in agreement with observations, it is necessary to break the symmetry between the external/our and internal spaces. It takes place for black strings which are particular examples of solitons with k\to \infty. For such k, black strings are in concordance with the observations. Moreover, we show that they are the only solitons which are at the same level of agreement with the observations as in general relativity. Black strings can be treated as perfect fluid with dust-like equation of state p_0=0 in the external/our space and very specific equation of state p_1=-(1/2)\epsilon in the internal space. The latter equation is due to negative tension in the extra dimension. We also demonstrate that dimension 3 for the external space is a special one. Only in this case we get the latter equation of state. We show that the black string equations of state satisfy the necessary condition of the internal space stabilization. Therefore, black strings are good candidates for a viable model of astrophysical objects (e.g., Sun) if we can provide a satisfactory explanation of negative tension for particles constituting these objects.

We study the aspects of quasi-local energy associated with a $2-$surface $\Sigma$ bounding a space-like domain $\Omega$ of a physical $3+1$ dimensional spacetime in the regime of gravity coupled to a gauge field. The Wang-Yau quasi-local energy together with an additional term arising due to the coupling of gravity to a gauge field constitutes the total energy ($\mathcal{QLE}$) contained within the membrane $\Sigma=\partial\Omega$. We specialize in the Kerr-Newman family of spacetimes which contains a U(1) gauge field coupled to gravity and an outer horizon. Through explicit calculations, we show that the total energy satisfies a weaker version of a Bekenstein type inequality $\mathcal{QLE}> \frac{Q^{2}}{2R}$ for large spherical membranes, $Q$ is the charge and $R$ is the radius of the membrane. Turning off the angular momentum (Reissner Nordstr\"om) yields $\mathcal{QLE}> \frac{Q^{2}}{2R}$ for all constant radii membranes containing the horizon and in such case the charge factor appearing in the right-hand side exactly equals to that of Bekenstein's inequality. Moreover, we show that the total quasi-local energy monotonically decays from $2M_{irr}+V_{Q}$ ($M_{irr}$ is the irreducible mass, $V_{Q}$ is the electric potential energy) at the outer horizon to $M$ ($M$ is the ADM mass) at the space-like infinity under the assumption of a small angular momentum of the black hole.

We consider a general, classical theory of gravity in $n$ dimensions, arising from a diffeomorphism invariant Lagrangian. In any such theory, to each vector field, $\xi^a$, on spacetime one can associate a local symmetry and, hence, a Noether current $(n-1)$-form, ${\bf j}$, and (for solutions to the field equations) a Noether charge $(n-2)$-form, ${\bf Q}$. Assuming only that the theory admits stationary black hole solutions with a bifurcate Killing horizon, and that the canonical mass and angular momentum of solutions are well defined at infinity, we show that the first law of black hole mechanics always holds for perturbations to nearby stationary black hole solutions. The quantity playing the role of black hole entropy in this formula is simply $2 \pi$ times the integral over $\Sigma$ of the Noether charge $(n-2)$-form associated with the horizon Killing field, normalized so as to have unit surface gravity. Furthermore, we show that this black hole entropy always is given by a local geometrical expression on the horizon of the black hole. We thereby obtain a natural candidate for the entropy of a dynamical black hole in a general theory of gravity. Our results show that the validity of the ``second law" of black hole mechanics in dynamical evolution from an initially stationary black hole to a final stationary state is equivalent to the positivity of a total Noether flux, and thus may be intimately related to the positive energy properties of the theory. The relationship between the derivation of our formula for black hole entropy and the derivation via ``Euclidean methods" also is explained.

While current gravitational wave observations with ground based detectors have been consistent with compact binaries in quasi-circular orbits, eccentric binaries may be detectable by ground-based and space-based instruments in the near future. Eccentricity significantly complicates the gravitational wave signal, and we currently lack fast and accurate models that are valid in the moderate to large eccentricity range. In a previous paper, we built a Fourier domain, eccentric waveform model at leading order in the post-Newtonian approximation, i.e. as an expansion in small velocities and weak fields. Here we extend this model to 3rd post-Newtonian order, incorporating the effects of periastron precession and higher post-Newtonian order effects that qualitatively change the waveform behavior. Our 3PN model combines the stationary phase approximation, a truncated sum of harmonics of combinations of two orbital frequencies (an azimuthal one and a radial one), and a bivariate expansion in the orbital separation and the eccentricity. We validate the model through comparisons with a fully-numerical, time domain post-Newtonian model, and find good agreement (matches between $97\% - 99\%$) in much of the parameter space. We estimate in what regions of parameter space eccentric effects are important by exploring the signal to noise ratio of eccentric corrections. We also examine the effects of higher post-Newtonian order terms in the waveform amplitude, and the agreement between different PN-consistent, numerical, time-domain models. In an effort to guide future improvements to the model, we gauge the error in our 3PN model incurred by the different analytic approximations used to construct it. This model is useful for preliminary data analysis investigations and it could allow for a phenomenological hybrid that incorporates eccentricity into an inspiral-merger-ringdown model.

A modified version of the Reissner-Nordstrom metric is proposed on the grounds of the nonlinear electrodynamics model. The source of curvature is an anisotropic fluid with $p_{r} = -\rho$ which resembles the Maxwell stress tensor at $r >> q^{2}/2m$, where $q$ and $m$ are the mass and charge of the particle, respectively. We found the black hole horizon entropy obeys the relation $S = |W|/2T = A_{H}/4$, with $W$ the Komar energy and $A_{H}$ the horizon area. The electric field around the source depends not only on its charge but also on its mass. The corresponding electrostatic potential $\Phi(r)$ is finite everywhere, vanishes at the origin and at $r = q^{2}/6m$ and is nonzero asymptotically, with $\Phi_{\infty} = 3m/2q$.

We derive the off-shell Noether current and potential in the context of Horndeski theory, which is the most general scalar-tensor theory with a Lagrangian containing derivatives up to second order while yielding at most to second-order equations of motion in four dimensions. Then the formulation of conserved charges is proposed on basis of the off-shell Noether potential and the surface term got from the variation of the Lagrangian. As an application, we calculate the conserved charges of black holes in a scalar-tensor theory with non-minimal coupling between derivatives of the scalar field and the Einstein tensor.

The concept of time has multiple meanings and these are often confused in the literature and must be distinguished if any light is to be thrown on this age-old issue. The asymmetry of time also has different meanings that depend on context-although the fundamental time asymmetry is associated with the expansion of the universe. These and related issues are discussed in both classical and quantum mechanical contexts.

Assuming that an accelerated observer with four-velocity ${\bf u}_{\rm R}$ in a curved spacetime attributes the standard Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and Unruh temperature to his "local Rindler horizon", we show that the $\rm \it change$ in horizon area under parametric displacements of the horizon has a very specific thermodynamic structure. Specifically, it entails information about the time-time component of the Einstein tensor: $\bf G({\bf u}_{\rm R}, {\bf u}_{\rm R})$. Demanding that the result holds for all accelerated observers, this actually becomes a statement about the full Einstein tensor, $\rm \bf G$. We also present some perspectives on the free fall with four-velocity ${\bf u}_{\rm ff}$ across the horizon that leads to such a loss of entropy for an accelerated observer. Motivated by results for some simple quantum systems at finite temperature $T$, we conjecture that at high temperatures, there exists a universal, system-independent curvature correction to partition function and thermal entropy of $\rm \it any$ freely falling system, characterised by the dimensional quantity $\Delta = {\bf R({\bf u}_{\rm ff}, {\bf u}_{\rm ff})} \left(\hbar c/kT \right)^2$.

Motivated by recent results on non-vanishing spatial curvature \cite{curve} we employ the holographic model of dark energy to investigate the validity of first and second laws of thermodynamics in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by apparent horizon $R_A$ and the event horizon measured from the sphere of horizon named $L$. We show that for the apparent horizon the first law is roughly respected for different epochs while the second laws of thermodynamics is respected while for $L$ as the system's IR cut-off first law is broken down and second law is respected for special range of deceleration parameter. It is also shown that at late-time universe $L$ is equal to $R_A$ and the thermodynamic laws are hold, when the universe has non-vanishing curvature. Defining the fluid temperature to be proportional to horizon temperature the range for coefficient of proportionality is obtained provided that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is hold.

The spacetimes modified by the scalar field are explicitly given for the so called $\gamma$-metric and Erez-Rosen metric with quadrupole moment $q$, influence of the additional deformation parameters $\gamma_*$ and $q_*$ generated by the scalar field is studied. It is shown that the null energy condition is satisfied for the phantom field, but it is not satisfied for the standard scalar field. The test particle motion in the both modified $\gamma$-metric and Erez-Rosen quadrupole metric is studied; the circular geodesics are determined, and near-circular trajectories are explicitly presented for characteristic values of the spacetime parameters. It is also demonstrated that the parameters $\gamma_*$ and $q_*$ have no influence on the test particle motion in the equatorial plane.

Friedmann-Lemaitre universes driven by a scalar field, spatially closed and bouncing, were recently studied by Martin and Peter in [1], with the conclusion that the spectrum of their large scale matter perturbations was generically modified when going through the bounce. In this Note we give the properties of the scalar field potentials which underly such models.

The holographic entanglement entropy is studied numerically in (4+1)-dimensional spherically symmetric Gauss-Bonnet AdS black hole spacetime with compact boundary. On the bulk side the black hole spacetime undergoes a van der Waals-like phase transition in the extended phase space, which is reviewed with emphasis on the behavior on the temperature-entropy plane. On the boundary, we calculated the regularized HEE of a disk region of different sizes. We find strong numerical evidence for the failure of equal area law for isobaric curves on the temperature-HEE plane and for the correctness of first law of entanglement entropy, and briefly give an explanation for why the latter may serve as a reason for the former, i.e. the failure of equal area law on the temperature-HEE plane.

In this paper we establish two results concerning four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes at spatial infinity. First, we show that the six conserved Lorentz charges are encoded in two unique, distinct, but mutually dual symmetric divergence free tensors that we construct from the equations of motion. Second, we show that integrability of Einstein's equations in the asymptotic expansion is sufficient to establish the equivalence between counter-term charges defined from the variational principle and charges defined by Ashtekar and Hansen. These results clarify earlier constructions of conserved charges in the hyperboloid representation of spatial infinity. In showing this, parity condition on the mass aspect is not needed. Along the way in establishing these results, we prove two lemmae on tensor fields on three dimensional de Sitter spacetime stated by Ashtekar-Hansen and Beig-Schmidt and state and prove three additional lemmae.

Analysis of time-domain profiles for gravitational perturbations shows that Gauss-Bonnet black holes in a de Sitter world possess a new kind of dynamical instability which does not take place for asymptotically flat Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes. The new instability is in the gravitational perturbations of the scalar type and is due to the nonvanishing cosmological constant. Analysis of the quasinormal spectrum in the stability sector shows that although the scalar type of gravitational perturbations alone does not obey Hod's conjectural bound, connecting the damping rate and the Hawking temperature, the vector and tensor types (and thereby the gravitational spectrum as a whole) do obey it.

The Hamiltonian analysis for $f(T)$ gravity implies the existence of at least one scalar-type degree of freedom (DoF). However, this scalar DoF of $f(T)$ gravity does not manifest in linear perturbations around a cosmological background, which indicates an underlying strong coupling problem. In this work we expand the scope by introducing an extra scalar field non-minimally coupled to $f(T)$ gravity, aiming to address or alleviate the aforementioned strong coupling problem. Employing the effective field theory (EFT) approach, we provide a class of torsional EFT forms up to second order operators, avoiding the Ostrogradsky ghost. To illustrate this phenomenon, we study a simple model and perform a detailed analysis of its linear scalar perturbations. The results demonstrate that the coupling terms in this toy model are necessary to avoid the initial degenerate situation. The complete avoidance of new constraints requires more coupling terms. Once this vanishing scalar DoF starts propagating in cosmological background at linear level, this phenomenon will demand a revisit of the strong coupling issue that arises in $f(T)$ gravity, particularly in the presence of matter coupling.

We explore the idea of asymptotic silence in causal set theory and find that causal sets approximated by continuum spacetimes exhibit behaviour akin to asymptotic silence. We make use of an intrinsic definition of spatial distance between causal set elements in the discrete analogue of a spatial hypersurface. Using numerical simulations for causal sets approximated by D=2,3 and 4 dimensional Minkowski spacetime, we show that while the discrete distance rapidly converges to the continuum distance at a scale roughly an order of magnitude larger than the discreteness scale, it is significantly larger on small scales. This allows us to define an effective dimension which exhibits dimensional reduction in the ultraviolet, while monotonically increasing to the continuum dimension with increasing continuum distance. We interpret these findings as manifestations of asymptotic silence in causal set theory.

We propose a description of open universes in the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity where spatial infinity is implemented as a puncture. At this puncture, additional variables are introduced which lie in the cotangent bundle of the Poincar\'e group, and coupled minimally to the Chern-Simons gauge field. We apply this description of spatial infinity to open universes of general genus and with an arbitrary number of massive spinning particles. Using results of [9] we give a finite dimensional description of the phase space and determine its symplectic structure. In the special case of a genus zero universe with spinless particles, we compare our result to the symplectic structure computed by Matschull in the metric formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity. We comment on the quantisation of the phase space and derive a quantisation condition for the total mass and spin of an open universe.

The Hadamard parametrix is a representation of the short-distance singularity structure of the Feynman Green's function for a quantum field on a curved space-time background. Subtracting these divergent terms regularizes the Feynman Green's function and enables the computation of renormalized expectation values of observables. We study the Hadamard parametrix for a charged, massive, complex scalar field in five space-time dimensions. Even in Minkowski space-time, it is not possible to write the Feynman Green's function for a charged scalar field exactly in closed form. We therefore present covariant Taylor series expansions for the biscalars arising in the Hadamard parametrix. On a general space-time background, we explicitly state the expansion coefficients up to the order required for the computation of the renormalized scalar field current. These coefficients become increasingly lengthy as the order of the expansion increases, so we give the higher-order terms required for the calculation of the renormalized stress-energy tensor in Minkowski space-time only.

We develop a unified description, via the Boltzmann equation, of damping of gravitational waves by matter, incorporating collisions. We identify two physically distinct damping mechanisms -- collisional and Landau damping. We first consider damping in flat spacetime, and then generalize the results to allow for cosmological expansion. In the first regime, maximal collisional damping of a gravitational wave, independent of the details of the collisions in the matter is, as we show, significant only when its wavelength is comparable to the size of the horizon. Thus damping by intergalactic or interstellar matter for all but primordial gravitational radiation can be neglected. Although collisions in matter lead to a shear viscosity, they also act to erase anisotropic stresses, thus suppressing the damping of gravitational waves. Damping of primordial gravitational waves remains possible. We generalize Weinberg's calculation of gravitational wave damping, now including collisions and particles of finite mass, and interpret the collisionless limit in terms of Landau damping. While Landau damping of gravitational waves cannot occur in flat spacetime, the expansion of the universe allows such damping by spreading the frequency of a gravitational wave of given wavevector.

In this paper, we consider the Amended Friedman-Robertson-Walker (AFRW) universe and explore its scale factor and the Ricci Dark Energy. THese turned out to be well-defined and definite. We compare the scale factors of FRW \cite{[17]}, Generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) \cite{[18]} and AFRW models graphically. The combined graph of these models show that the behavior of both FRW and AFRW models is similar as these overlap each other for choosing particular values of the integration constants. Also, we draw a combined graph of the Ricci dark energy densities of FRW and AFRW models, in CS gravity, and the energy density of GCG. It shows that the densities of former two models are increasing with time while the energy density of GCG is decreasing.

Extremely Compact Stars (ECS) contain trapped null geodesics. When such objects enter the evolution period admitting geodetical motion of neutrinos, certain part of neutrinos produced in their interior will be trapped influencing their neutrino luminosity and thermal evolution. We study neutrino trapping in the braneworld ECS, assuming uniform distribution of neutrino emissivity and massless neutrinos. We give the efficiency of the neutrino trapping effects in the framework of the simple model of the internal spacetime with uniform distribution of energy density, and external spacetime described by the Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry characterized by the braneworld "tidal" parameter $b$. For $b < 0$ the external spacetime is of the black-hole type, while for $b > 0$ the external spacetime can be of both black-hole and naked-singularity type. Then the ECS surface radius $R$ can be located also above the unstable (outer) photon circular orbit. Such basically new types of the spacetimes strongly alter the trapping phenomena as compared to the standard case of $b = 0$. It is shown that the neutrino trapping effects are slightly lowered by the presence of physically more plausible case of $b < 0$, as compared to the standard internal Schwarzschild spacetime, while they can be magnified by positive tidal charges if $b < 1$ and lowered for $b > 1$. However, potential astrophysical relevance of the trapping phenomena is strongly enhanced for negative tidal charges enabling a significant enlargement of the ECS surface radius to values coherent with recent observations.

With this in mind, we explore the implementation of three-parameter finite-temperature matter models in the computation of neutron-star oscillations. We consider in detail the thermodynamics of nuclear matter and show how this information enters the problem. Our realistic treatment takes into account entropy and composition gradients that exist in the nuclear matter, giving rise to buoyant g-mode oscillations. To illustrate the implementation, we determine the oscillation spectrum of a low-temperature neutron star. In addition to the expected compositional and thermal g-modes, we find perturbations sourced by phase transitions in the equation of state. We also examine the thermal evolution of the oscillation spectrum of a neutron star with constant redshifted temperature.

The geometric action of the semi-direct product of the Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras contains the WZW action equipped with a background vector potential $A$ associated to a coadjoint element of the Kac-Moody algebra as well as the 2D gravitational Polyakov action and an accompanying background field, $\mathcal{D}$, called the diffeomorphism field. Just as the coadjoint element, $A$, is related to a gauge fixed Yang-Mills vector potential $A_a$, the diffeomorphism field, $\mathcal{D}$, is related to a component, $\mathcal{D}_{a b}$ of the projectively invariant connection called the Thomas Operator. The Yang-Mills action provides dynamics for the vector potential $A_a,$ while the Thomas-Whitehead (TW) gravitational action, provides dynamics to $\mathcal{D}_{ab}$. The TW action embeds the projectively invariant connection into a gravitational theory that contains general relativity. In this work, the diffeomorphism field $\mathcal{D}_{a b}$ is examined in Minkowski space where salient features of this field can be explored. In particular, we study the radiative degrees of freedom of this field while in a Minkowski space background. We show that it can be decomposed into irreducible representations, corresponding to tensor, vector, and scalar radiating solutions. Furthermore we examine geodesic deviation in the context of TW gravity about a Minkowski space background. We do this both at zeroth and first order in metric fluctuations $h_{ab}$. We discuss that response of a gravitational wave antennae to the geodesics deviations.

Integrability in Perturbed Black Holes: Background Hidden Structures

In this work we investigate the presence of integrable hidden structures in the dynamics of perturbed non-rotating black holes (BHs). This can also be considered as a first step in a wider program of an effective identification of ``slow'' and ``fast'' degrees of freedom (DoFs) in the (binary) BH dynamics, following a wave-mean flow perspective. The slow DoFs would be associated with a nonlinear integrable dynamics, on which the fast ones propagate following an effective linear dynamics. BH perturbation theory offers a natural ground to test these properties. Indeed, the decoupling of Einstein equations into wave master equations with a potential provides an instance of such splitting into (frozen) slow DoFs (background potential) over which the linear dynamics of the fast ones (perturbation master functions) evolve. It has been recently shown that these wave equations possess an infinite number of symmetries that correspond to the flow of the infinite hierarchy of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations. Starting from these results, we systematically investigate the presence of integrable structures in BH perturbation theory. We first study them in Cauchy slices and then extend the analysis to hyperboloidal foliations. This second step introduces a splitting of the master equation into bulk and boundary contributions, unveiling an underlying structural relation with the slow and fast DoFs. This insight represents a first step to establish the integrable structures associated to the slow DoFs as bulk symmetries of the dynamics of perturbed BHs.

The discovery of accelerated expansion of the universe opened the possibility of new scenarios for the doom of our spacetime, besides aeternal expansion and a final contraction. In this paper we review the chances which may await our universe. In particular, there are new possible singular fates (sudden singularities, big rip...), but there also other evolutions which cannot be considered as singular. In addition to this, some of the singular fates are not strong enough in the sense that the spacetime can be extended beyond the singularity. For deriving our results we make use of generalised power and asymptotic expansions of the scale factor of the universe.

In the frame work of Palatini approach to modified $f(R)$ theories of gravity, we attempt to investigate the thermodynamic behavior of time-dependent wormhole geometries. By considering an evolving wormhole spacetime, we find the field equations in Palatini $f(R)$ gravity. The energy density and pressure are redefined in order to satisfy the continuity equation. To discuss the thermodynamic behavior, an expression for the variation of total entropy is obtained. Then, we extend our discussions to apparent and event horizons of evolving wormholes. We employ the radius of apparent and event horizons to determine the validity of generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics which states that the variation of total entropy is non-negative.

We construct several new classes of black hole (BH) solutions in the context of the mimetic Euler-Heisenberg theory. We separately derive three differently charged BH solutions and their relevant mimetic forms. We show that the asymptotic form of all BH solutions behaves like a flat spacetime. These BHs, either with/without cosmological constant, have the non constant Ricci scalar, due to the contribution of the Euler-Heisenberg parameter, which means that they are not solution to standard or mimetic $f(R)$ gravitational theory without the Euler-Heisenberg non-linear electrodynamics and at the same time they are not equivalent to the solutions of the Einstein gravity with a massless scalar field. Moreover, we display that the effect of the Euler-Heisenberg theory makes the singularity of BH solutions stronger compared with that of BH solutions in general relativity. Furthermore, we show that the null and strong energy conditions of those BH solutions are violated, which is a general trend of mimetic gravitational theory. The thermodynamics of the BH solutions are satisfactory although there appears a negative Hawking temperature under some conditions. Additionally, these BHs obey the first law of thermodynamics. We also study the stability, using the geodesic deviation, and derive the stability condition analytically and graphically. Finally, for the first time and under some conditions, we derived multi-horizon BH solutions in the context of the mimetic Euler-Heisenberg theory and study their related physics.

For the O(N) field theory with lambda Phi^4 self-coupling, we construct the two-particle-irreducible (2PI), closed-time-path (CTP) effective action in a general curved spacetime. From this we derive a set of coupled equations for the mean field and the variance. They are useful for studying the nonperturbative, nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum field when full back reactions of the quantum field on the curved spacetime, as well as the fluctuations on the mean field, are required. Applications to phase transitions in the early Universe such as the Planck scale or in the reheating phase of chaotic inflation are under investigation.

Our inspiral model is based on the method of osculating geodesics, and is the first to incorporate the full gravitational self-force (GSF) effect, including conservative corrections. The GSF information is encapsulated in an analytic interpolation formula based on numerical GSF data for over a thousand sample geodesic orbits. We assess the importance of including conservative GSF corrections in waveform models for gravitational-wave searches.

In this paper, we consider vacuum asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes $( \mathscr{M}, g )$ with conformal boundary $( \mathscr{I}, \mathfrak{g} )$. We establish a correspondence, near $\mathscr{I}$, between such spacetimes and their conformal boundary data on $\mathscr{I}$. More specifically, given a domain $\mathscr{D} \subset \mathscr{I}$, we prove that the coefficients $\mathfrak{g}^{(0)} = \mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{g}^{(n)}$ (the undetermined term or stress energy tensor) in a Fefferman-Graham expansion of the metric $g$ from the boundary uniquely determine $g$ near $\mathscr{D}$, provided $\mathscr{D}$ satisfies a generalised null convexity condition (GNCC). The GNCC is a conformally invariant criterion on $\mathscr{D}$, first identified by Chatzikaleas and the second author, that ensures a foliation of pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in $\mathscr{M}$ near $\mathscr{D}$, and with the pseudoconvexity degenerating in the limit at $\mathscr{D}$. As a corollary of this result, we deduce that conformal symmetries of $( \mathfrak{g}^{(0)}, \mathfrak{g}^{(n)} )$ on domains $\mathscr{D} \subset \mathscr{I}$ satisfying the GNCC extend to spacetimes symmetries near $\mathscr{D}$. The proof, which does not require any analyticity assumptions, relies on three key ingredients: (1) a calculus of vertical tensor-fields developed for this setting; (2) a novel system of transport and wave equations for differences of metric and curvature quantities; and (3) recently established Carleman estimates for tensorial wave equations near the conformal boundary.

The past three years have seen two significant advances in models of gravitational waveforms emitted by quasicircular compact binaries in two regimes: the weak-field, post-Newtonian regime, in which the gravitational wave energy flux has now been calculated to fourth-and-a-half post-Newtonian order (4.5PN) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 121402 (2023)]; and the small-mass-ratio, gravitational self-force regime, in which the flux has now been calculated to second perturbative order in the mass ratio (2SF) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 151102 (2021)]. We compare these results and find excellent agreement for the total flux, showing consistency between the two calculations at all available PN and SF orders. However, although the total fluxes agree, we find disagreements in the fluxes due to individual spherical-harmonic modes of the waveform, strongly suggesting the two waveforms might be in different asymptotic frames.

A well known equation of state parameter, $\omega(t)=-\frac{k \log (t+\epsilon )}{t}-1$ is used to represent the dynamical behavior of energy density, matter pressure and energy conditions. A detailed graphical analysis is also provided to review the bounce. Furthermore, all free parameters are set in a way, to make the supposed Hubble parameter act as the bouncing solution and ensure the viability of energy conditions. Conclusively, all necessary conditions for a bouncing model are checked.

We numerically study the superradiant instability of charged massless scalar field in the background of charged stringy black hole with mirror-like boundary condition. We compare the numerical result with the previous analytical result and show the dependencies of this instability upon various parameters of black hole charge $Q$, scalar field charge $q$, and mirror radius $r_m$. Especially, we have observed that imaginary part of BQN frequencies grows with the scalar field charge $q$ rapidly.

We consider the particular class of f(R) gravities minimally coupled with Yang - Mills (YM) field in which the Ricci scalar =R_{0}= constant in all dimensions d\geq4. Even in this restricted class the spacetime has unlimited scopes determined by an equation of state of the form P_{eff}={\omega}{\rho}. Depending on the distance from the origin (or horizon of a black hole) the state function {\omega}(r) takes different values. It is observed that {\omega}\rightarrow(1/3) (the ultra relativistic case in 4 - dimensions) and {\omega}\rightarrow-1 (the cosmological constant) are the limiting values of our state function {\omega}(r) in a spacetime centered by a black hole. This suggests that having a constant {\omega} throughout spacetime around a charged black hole in f(R) gravity with constant scalar curvature is a myth.

Attention is given to the interface of mathematics and physics, specifically noting that fundamental principles limit the usefulness of otherwise perfectly good mathematical general integral solutions. A new set of multivector solutions to the meta-monogenic (massive) Dirac equation is constructed which form a Hilbert space. A new integral solution is proposed which involves application of a kernel to the right side of the function, instead of to the left as usual. This allows for the introduction of a multivector generalization of the Feynman Path Integral formulation, which shows that particular ``geometric groupings'' of solutions evolve in the manner to which we ascribe the term ``quantum particle''. Further, it is shown that the role of usual $i$ is subplanted by the unit time basis vector, applied on the right side of the functions.

Known quantum and classical perturbative long-distance corrections to the Newton potential are extended into the short-distance regime using evolution equations for a `running' gravitational coupling, which is used to construct examples non-perturbative potentials for the gravitational binding of two particles. Model-I is based on the complete set of the relevant Feynman diagrams. Its potential has a singularity at a distance below which it becomes complex and the system gets black hole-like features. Model-II is based on a reduced set of diagrams and its coupling approaches a non-Gaussian fixed point as the distance is reduced. Energies and eigenfunctions are obtained and used in a study of time-dependent collapse (model-I) and bouncing (both models) of a spherical wave packet. The motivation for such non-perturbative `toy' models stems from a desire to elucidate the mass dependence of binding energies found 25 years ago in an explorative numerical simulation within the dynamical triangulation approach to quantum gravity. Models I \& II suggest indeed an explanation of this mass dependence, in which the Schwarzschild scale plays a role. An estimate of the renormalized Newton coupling is made by matching with the small-mass region. Comparison of the dynamical triangulation results for mass renormalization with `renormalized perturbation theory' in the continuum leads to an independent estimate of this coupling, which is used in an improved analysis of the binding energy data.

Various works have suggested that the Bondi--Sachs--Penrose decay conditions on the gravitational field at null infinity are not generally representative of asymptotically flat space--times. We have made a detailed analysis of the constraint equations for ``asymptotically hyperboloidal'' initial data and find that log terms arise generically in asymptotic expansions. These terms are absent in the corresponding Bondi--Sachs--Penrose expansions, and can be related to explicit geometric quantities. We have nevertheless shown that there exists a large class of ``non--generic'' solutions of the constraint equations, the evolution of which leads to space--times satisfying the Bondi--Sachs--Penrose smoothness conditions.

We use the spectral representation of the stochastic Starobinsky-Yokoyama approach to compute correlation functions in de Sitter space for a scalar field with a symmetric or asymmetric double-well potential. The terms in the spectral expansion are determined by the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the time-independent Fokker-Planck differential operator, and we solve them numerically. The long-distance asymptotic behaviour is given by the lowest state in the spectrum, but we demonstrate that the magnitude of the coeffients of different terms can be very different, and the correlator can be dominated by different terms at different distances. This can give rise to potentially observable cosmological signatures. In many cases the dominant states in the expansion do not correspond to small fluctuations around a minimum of the potential and are therefore not visible in perturbation theory. We discuss the physical interpretation these states, which can be present even when the potential has only one minimum.

The inertial (due to rotation) and gravitational fields of the Earth affect the motion of an elementary particle and its spin dynamics. This influence is not negligible and should be taken into account in high-energy physics experiments. Earth's influence is manifest in perturbations in the particle motion, in an additional precession of the spin, and in a change of the constitutive tensor of the Maxwell electrodynamics. Bigger corrections are oscillatory, and their contributions average to zero. Other corrections due to the inhomogeneity of the inertial field are not oscillatory but they are very small and may be important only for the storage ring electric dipole moment experiments. Earth's gravity causes the Newton-like force, the reaction force provided by a focusing system, and additional torques acting on the spin. However, there are no observable indications of the electromagnetic effects due to Earth's gravity.

We investigate here quantum effects in gravitational collapse of a scalar field model which classically leads to a naked singularity. We show that non-perturbative semi-classical modifications near the singularity, based on loop quantum gravity, give rise to a strong outward flux of energy. This leads to the dissolution of the collapsing cloud before the singularity can form. Quantum gravitational effects thus censor naked singularities by avoiding their formation. Further, quantum gravity induced mass flux has a distinct feature which may lead to a novel observable signature in astrophysical bursts.

The weak cosmic censorship conjecture asserts that spacetime singularities that arise in gravitational collapse are always hidden inside of black holes, invisible to distant observers. This conjecture, put forward by Penrose more than four decades ago, is widely believed to be one of the basic principles of nature. However, a complete proof of this hypothesis is still lacking and the validity of the conjecture has therefore remained one of the most important open questions in general relativity. In this study we analyze a gedanken experiment which is designed to challenge cosmic censorship by trying to overcharge a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole: a charged shell is lowered {\it adiabatically} into the charged black hole. The mass-energy delivered to the black hole can be red-shifted by letting the dropping point of the shell approach the black-hole horizon. On the other hand, the electric charge of the shell is not red-shifted by the gravitational field of the black hole. It therefore seems, at first sight, that the charged shell is not hindered from entering the black hole, overcharging it and removing its horizon. However, in the present study we prove that the exposure of a naked singularity to distant observers is actually excluded due to the formation of a new (and {\it larger}) horizon around the original black hole. Moreover, we shall prove that this new horizon is already formed {\it before} the charged shell crosses the original black-hole horizon. This result, which seems to have been previously overlooked, guarantees the validity of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in this type of gedanken experiments.

Tiny violation of Lorentz invariance has been the subject of theoretic study and experimental test for a long time. We use the Standard-Model Extension (SME) framework to investigate the effect of the minimal Lorentz violation on the structure of a neutron star. A set of hydrostatic equations with modifications from Lorentz violation are derived, and then the modifications are isolated and added to the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation as the leading-order Lorentz-violation corrections in relativistic systems. A perturbation solution to the leading-order modified TOV equations is found. The quadrupole moments due to the anisotropy in the structure of neutron stars are calculated and used to estimate the quadrupole radiation of a spinning neutron star with the same deformation. The calculation puts forward a new test for Lorentz invariance in the strong-field regime when continuous gravitational waves are observed in the future.

We give a brief review of the non-minimal derivative coupling (NMDC) scalar field theory in which there is non-minimal coupling between the scalar field derivative term and the Einstein tensor. We assume that the expansion is of power-law type or super-acceleration type for small redshift. The Lagrangian includes the NMDC term, a free kinetic term, a cosmological constant term and a barotropic matter term. For a value of the coupling constant that is compatible with inflation, we use the combined WMAP9 (WMAP9+eCMB+BAO+ $H_0$) dataset, the PLANCK+WP dataset, and the PLANCK $TT,TE,EE$+lowP+Lensing+ext datasets to find the value of the cosmological constant in the model. Modeling the expansion with power-law gives a negative cosmological constants while the phantom power-law (super-acceleration) expansion gives positive cosmological constant with large error bar. The value obtained is of the same order as in the $\Lambda$CDM model, since at late times the NMDC effect is tiny due to small curvature.

Quantum entanglement of Hawking radiation has been supposed to give rise to a Planck density "firewall" near the event horizon of old black holes. We show that Planck density firewalls are excluded by Einstein's equations for black holes of mass exceeding the Planck mass. We find an upper limit of $1/(8\pi M)$ to the surface density of a firewall in a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M$, translating for astrophysical black holes into a firewall density smaller than Planck density by more than 30 orders of magnitude. A strict upper limit on the firewall density is given by the Planck density times the ratio $M_{\rm Pl}/(8\pi M)$.

In this work, we explore the properties and shadows of spin-induced scalarized black holes, as well as investigate how a Ricci coupling influences them. Our findings reveal significant deviations from the Kerr metric in terms of the location and geodesic frequencies of the innermost stable circular orbit and light ring, with the former exhibiting more pronounced disparities. The shadows of scalarized black holes exhibit relatively minor deviations when compared to those of Kerr black holes with the same mass and spin. Overall, the presence of a Ricci coupling is observed to mitigate deviations from the Kerr metric.

The extraction of the gravitational wave signal, within the context of a characteristic numerical evolution is revisited. A formula for the gravitational wave strain is developed and tested, and is made publicly available as part of the PITT code within the Einstein Toolkit. Using the new strain formula, we show that artificial non-linear drifts inherent in time integrated waveforms can be reduced for the case of a binary black hole merger configuration. For the test case of a rapidly spinning stellar core collapse model, however, we find that the drift must have different roots.

If the Universe undergoes a phase transition, at which global monopoles are created or destroyed, topology of its spatial sections can change. More specifically, by making use of Myers' theorem, we show that, after a transition in which global monopoles form, spatial sections of a spatially flat Universe become finite and closed. This implies that global monopoles can change topology of Universe's spatial sections (from infinite and open to finite and closed). We emphasize that global monopoles cannot alter topology of the space-time manifold.

It is well known that a rotating superconductor produces a magnetic field proportional to its angular velocity. The authors conjectured earlier, that in addition to this so-called London moment, also a large gravitomagnetic field should appear to explain an apparent mass increase of Niobium Cooper-pairs. This phenomenon was indeed observed and induced acceleration fields outside the superconductor in the order of about 10^-4 g were found. The field appears to be directly proportional to the applied angular acceleration of the superconductor following our theoretical motivations. If confirmed, a gravitomagnetic field of measurable magnitude was produced for the first time in a laboratory environment. These results may open up a new experimental window on testing general relativity and its consequences using coherent matter.

It is shown that Eppley and Hannah's thought experiment establishing that gravity must be quantized is fatally flawed. The device they propose, even if built, cannot establish their claims, nor is it plausible that it can be built with any materials compatible with the values of c, h, and G. Finally the device, and any reasonable modification of it, would be so massive as to be within its own Schwarzschild radius--a fatal flaw for any thought experiment.

D {\bf 102}, 103520 (2020), we calculate the total emission rates of energy and angular momentum due to gravitational and electromagnetic radiations from dyonic binary black holes in precessing elliptical orbits. It is shown that the emission rates of energy and angular momentum due to gravitational and electromagnetic radiations have the same dependence on the conic angle for different orbits. Moreover, we obtain the evolutions of orbits and find that a circular orbit remains circular while an elliptic orbit becomes quasi-circular due to electromagnetic and gravitational radiations. Using the evolution of orbits, we derive the waveform models for dyonic binary black hole inspirals and show the amplitudes of the gravitational waves for dyonic binary black hole inspirals differ from those for Schwarzschild binary black hole inspirals, which can be used to test electric and magnetic charges of black holes.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of dark matter on the weak deflection angle by black holes at the galactic center. We consider three known dark matter density profiles such as the Cold Dark Matter (CDM), Scalar Field Dark Matter (SFDM), and the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) from the Burkert profile. To achieve this goal, we used how the positional angles are measured by Ishihara et al. method based on Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT) on the optical metric. With the help of the non-asymptotic form of the GBT, the longitudinal angle difference is also calculated. First, we find the emergence of apparent divergent terms on the said profiles, which indicates that the spacetime describing the black hole-dark matter combination is non-asymptotic. We showed that these apparent divergent terms vanish when the distance of the source and receiver are astronomically distant from the black hole. Using the current observational data in the Milky Way and M87 galaxies, we find interesting behaviors of how the weak deflection angle varies with the impact parameter, which gives us some hint on how dark matter interacts with the null particles for each dark matter density profile. We conclude that since these deviations are evident near the dark matter core radius, the weak deflection angle offers a better alternative for dark matter detection than using the deviation from the black hole shadow. With the DM profiles explored in this study, we find that SFDM is the most difficult to detect, while the easiest is the URC profile. With the dark matter profiles explored in this study, we find that the variation of the values for weak deflection angle strongly depends on the dark matter mass on a particular profile.

In this work we investigate the effects of a geometrically generated early dark energy era on the energy spectrum of the primordial gravitational waves. The early dark energy era, which we choose it to have a constant equation of state parameter $w$, is synergistically generated by an appropriate $f(R)$ gravity in the presence of matter and radiation perfect fluids. As we demonstrate, the predicted signal for the energy spectrum of the $f(R)$ primordial gravitational waves is amplified and can be detectable, for various reheating temperatures, especially for large reheating temperatures. The signal amplitude depends on the duration of the early dark energy era and on the value of the dark energy equation of state parameter, with the most latter affecting more crucially the amplification. Specifically the amplification occurs when the equation of state parameter approaches the de Sitter value $w=-1$. Regarding the duration of the early dark energy era, we find that the largest amplification occurs when the early dark energy era commences at a temperature $T=0.85\,$eV until $T=7.8\,$eV. Moreover we study a similar scenario in which amplification occurs, where the early dark energy era commences at $T=0.29\,$eV and lasts until the temperature is increased by $\Delta T\sim 1.7\,$eV.

In this paper I will first outline an effective field theory for cosmology (EFTC) that is based on the Standard Model coupled to General Relativity and improved with Weyl symmetry. There are no new physical degrees of freedom in this theory, but what is new is an enlargement of the domain of the existing physical fields and of spacetime via the larger symmetry, thus curing the geodesic incompleteness of the traditional theory. Invoking the softer behavior of an underlying theory of quantum gravity, I further argue that it is reasonable to ban higher curvature terms in the effective action, thus making this EFTC mathematically well behaved at gravitational singularities, as well as geodesically complete, thus able to make new physics predictions. Using this EFTC, I show some predictions of surprising behavior of the universe at singularities including a unique set of big-bang initial conditions that emerge from a dynamical attractor mechanism. I will illustrate this behavior with detailed formulas and plots of the classical solutions and the quantum wavefunction that are continuous across singularities for a cosmology that includes the past and future of the big bang. The solutions are given in the geodesically complete global mini-superspace that is similar to the extended spacetime of a black hole or extended Rindler spacetime. The analytic continuation of the quantum wavefunction across the horizons describes the passage through the singularities. This analytic continuation solves a long-standing problem of the singular (-1/r^2) potential in quantum mechanics that dates back to Von Neumann. The analytic properties of the wavefunction also reveal an infinite stack of universes sewn together at the horizons of the geodesically complete space. Finally a critique of recent controversial papers using the path integral approach in cosmology is given.

We investigate the black hole evaporation process in Lovelock gravity with diverse dimensions. By selecting the appropriate coefficients, the space-time solutions can possess a unique AdS vacuum with a fixed cosmological constant $\Lambda=-\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2\ell^{2}}$. The black hole solutions can be divided into two cases: $d>2k+1$ and $d=2k+1$. In the case of $d>2k+1$, the black hole is in an analogy with the Schwarzschild AdS black hole, and the life time is bounded by a time of the order of $\ell^{d-2k+1}$, which reduces Page's result on the Einstein gravity in $k=1$. In the case of $d=2k+1$, the black hole resembles the three dimensional black hole. The black hole vacuum corresponds to $T=0$, so the black hole will take infinite time to evaporate away for any initial states, which obeys the third law of thermodynamics. In the asymptotically flat limit $\ell\rightarrow \infty$, the system reduces to the pure Lovelock gravity that only possesses the highest $k$-th order term. For a initial mass $M_0$, the life time of the black hole is in the order of $M_0^{\frac{d-2k+1}{d-2k-1}}$.

The discrepancy between the results of covariant and non-covariant one-loop calculations for higher-spin fields in quantum cosmology is analyzed. A detailed mode-by-mode study of perturbative quantum gravity about a flat Euclidean background bounded by two concentric 3-spheres, including non-physical degrees of freedom and ghost modes, leads to one-loop amplitudes in agreement with the covariant Schwinger-DeWitt method. This calculation provides the generalization of a previous analysis of fermionic fields and electromagnetic fields at one-loop about flat Euclidean backgrounds admitting a well-defined 3+1 decomposition.

We present the Hamiltonian, quasilocal energy, and angular momentum for a spacetime region spatially bounded by two timelike surfaces. The results are applied to the particular case of a spacetime representing an eternal black hole. It is shown that in the case when the boundaries are located in two different wedges of the Kruskal diagram, the Hamiltonian is of the form $H = H_+ - H_-$, where $H_+$ and $H_-$ are the Hamiltonian functions for the right and left wedges respectively. The application of the obtained results to the thermofield dynamics description of quantum effects in black holes is briefly discussed.

We present a privileged Fock quantization of a massive Dirac field in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology, partially selected by the criteria of invariance of the vacuum under the symmetries of the field equations, and unitary implementation of the dynamics. When quantizing free scalar fields in homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes with compact spatial sections, these criteria have been shown to pick out a unique Fock representation (up to unitary equivalence). Here, we employ the same criteria for fermion fields and explore whether that uniqueness result can be extended to the case of the Fock quantization of fermions. For the massive Dirac field, we start by introducing a specific choice of the complex structure that determines the Fock representation. Such structure is invariant under the symmetries of the equations of motion. We then prove that the corresponding representation of the canonical anticommutation relations admits a unitary implementation of the dynamics. Moreover, we construct a rather general class of representations that satisfy the above criteria, and we demonstrate that they are all unitarily equivalent to our previous choice. The complex structures in this class are restricted only by certain conditions on their asymptotic behavior for modes in the ultraviolet sector of the Dirac operator. We finally show that, if one assumes that these asymptotic conditions are in fact trivial once our criteria are fulfilled, then the time-dependent scaling in the definition of the fermionic annihilation and creation-like variables is essentially unique.

Gravity can be thought as an emergent phenomenon and it has a nice "thermodynamic" structure. In this context, it is then possible to study the thermodynamics without knowing the details of the underlying microscopic degrees of freedom. Here, based on the ordinary thermodynamics, we investigate the phase transition of the static, spherically symmetric charged black hole solution with arbitrary scalar curvature $2k$ in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity at the Lifshitz point $z=3$. The analysis is done using the canonical ensemble frame work; i.e. the charge is kept fixed. We find (a) for both $k=0$ and $k=1$, there is no phase transition, (b) while $k=-1$ case exhibits the second order phase transition within the {\it physical region} of the black hole. The critical point of second order phase transition is obtained by the divergence of the heat capacity at constant charge. Near the critical point, we find the various critical exponents. It is also observed that they satisfy the usual thermodynamic scaling laws.

It is well known that, for a wide class of spacetimes with horizons, Einstein equations near the horizon can be written as a thermodynamic identity. It is also known that the Einstein tensor acquires a highly symmetric form near static, as well as stationary, horizons. We show that, for generic static spacetimes, this highly symmetric form of the Einstein tensor leads quite naturally and generically to the interpretation of the near-horizon field equations as a thermodynamic identity. We further extend this result to generic static spacetimes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity, and show that the near-horizon field equations again represent a thermodynamic identity in all these models. These results confirm the conjecture that this thermodynamic perspective of gravity extends far beyond Einstein's theory.

We study gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field in Einstein-aether theory (general relativity coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector field). The initial value formulation is developed, and numerical simulations are performed. The collapse produces regular, stationary black holes, as long as the aether coupling constants are not too large. For larger couplings a finite area singularity occurs. These results are shown to be consistent with the stationary solutions found previously.

We construct a new class of asymptotically (a)dS black hole solutions of Einstein-Yang-Mills massive gravity in the presence of Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. The obtained solutions possess a Coulomb electric charge, massive term and a non-abelian hair as well. We calculate the conserved and thermodynamic quantities, and investigate the validity of the first law of thermodynamics. Also, we investigate thermal stability conditions by using the sign of heat capacity through canonical ensemble. Next, we consider the cosmological constant as a thermodynamical pressure and study the van der Waals like phase transition of black holes in the extended phase space thermodynamics. Our results indicate the existence of a phase transition which is affected by the parameters of theory. Finally, we consider a massless scalar perturbation in the background of asymptotically adS solutions and calculate the quasinormal modes by employing the pseudospectral method. The imaginary part of quasinormal frequencies is the time scale of a thermal state (in the conformal field theory) for the approach to thermal equilibrium.

For a static and spherically symmetric black hole, a photon sphere is composed of circular null geodesics of fixed radius, and plays an important role in observing the black hole. Recently, in an Einstein-Maxwell-scalar model with a non-minimal coupling between the scalar and electromagnetic fields, a class of hairy black holes has been found to possess two unstable and one stable circular null geodesics on the equatorial plane, corresponding to three photon spheres outside the event horizon. In this paper, we study quasinormal modes of the scalar field, which are associated with these circular null geodesics, in the hairy black hole spacetime. In the eikonal regime with $l\gg1$, the real part of the quasinormal modes is determined by the angular velocity of the corresponding circular geodesics. The imaginary part of the quasinormal modes associated with the unstable circular null geodesics encodes the information about the Lyapunov exponent of the corresponding circular geodesics. Interestingly, we find long-lived and sub-long-lived modes, which are associated with the stable and one of the unstable circular null geodesics, respectively. Due to tunneling through potential barriers, the damping times of the long-lived and sub-long-lived modes can be exponentially and logarithmically large in terms of $l$, respectively.
