In this paper, we propose a relationship between the so-called Hubble–Lemaî tre constant H0 and the holographic complexity related to the emergence of spacetime in quantum gravity. Such a result can represent an important step to understanding the Hubble tension by introducing a quantum gravity perspective for cosmological observations, regarding the degree of quantum complexity we measure around us.

In this study, we explore the combined effects of quantum gravity induced by non-commutativity and scale-dependent gravitational coupling on the thermal properties of the thin accretion disks around a Schwarzschild black hole. We consider a κ-deformed renormalization group induced (RGI) Schwarzschild black hole, where the classical Schwarzschild black hole geometry is modified by the κ-deformation of space-time and the running Newton’s coupling constant G(r). Using the modified metric, we derive the geodesic motion of massive particles, the effective potential, and the thermal properties such as the radiated energy flux, luminosity, and the temperature profile of the accretion disk around the κ-deformed RGI-Schwarzschild black hole. Our study shows that when non-commutativity is combined with the RGI framework, the effects produce a noticeable deviation from the classical Schwarzschild case. In particular, for small values of the deformation parameter, we observe an increase in the peak energy flux and the temperature of the accretion disk. This suggests that quantum gravity corrections enhance the disk’s radiative efficiency, especially in the inner regions closer to the black hole.

Motivated by a geometric understanding of the angular velocity of a Kerr black hole in terms of a quasi-conformal map that describes a 2d Beltrami fluid flow, a new way to construct initial data sets for binary rotating black holes by prescribing the angular velocities of the two black holes at their horizons is discussed. A set of elliptic equations with prescribed Dirichlet boundary conditions at the horizons and at spatial infinity is established for constructing the initial data. To explore the dynamics encoded in these initial data, we consider the conformally flat three-metric case and numerically evolve it using the BSSN code for two co-rotating and counter-rotating black holes with angular velocities prescribed at the horizons. When the angular velocities are non-uniform and deviate from a constant value at the horizons, new gravitational waveforms are generated which display certain oscillatory pattern reminiscent of that of quasi-normal ringing in the inspiral phase before merger takes place.

We present a new class of warp bubble geometries that are both interior-flat and segmented into Gaussian cylinders (interchangeably called ‘nacelles’1throughout the paper), providing an alternative to the continuous toroidal energy distribution of the Alcubierre model. Using the ADM 3+1 formalism, we derive the extrinsic curvature, York time, momentum densities, and energy density for both the Alcubierre baseline and the Gaussian cylinder generalizations with cylinders equally spaced azimuthally around the warp bubble. The interior-flat condition guarantees that observers within the bubble remain synchronized with external clocks, yielding a habitable region of flat spacetime. Unlike the diffuse azimuthal ring of negative energy in the Alcubierre solution, our construction localizes exotic stress-energy into discrete cylindrical channels aligned with the bubble wall. Energy density maps, boost magnitude contours, and three-dimensional isosurfaces demonstrate how these segmented Gaussian cylinders maintain a synchronized interior while tuning curvature effects to end-caps. The results suggest that warp bubbles can be engineered with structurally discrete geometries resembling science-fiction starship architectures, where exotic matter localization, end-cap shaping, and interior flatness are tunable engineering parameters consistent with general relativity. These findings extend the ongoing search for physically motivated warp constructs and underscore the value of bridging theoretical warp metrics with engineering-oriented design principles.

Smooth window functions are often applied to strain data when inferring the parameters describing the astrophysical sources of gravitational-wave transients. Within the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, it is conventional to include a term to account for power loss due to this window in the likelihood function. We show that the inclusion of this factor leads to biased inference. The simplest solution to this, omitting the factor, leads to unbiased posteriors and Bayes factor estimates provided the window does not suppress the signal for signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) , but unreliable estimates of the absolute likelihood. Instead, we propose a multi-stage method that yields consistent estimates for the absolute likelihood in addition to unbiased posterior distributions and Bayes factors for SNRs . Additionally, we demonstrate that the commonly held wisdom that using rectangular windows necessarily leads to biased inference is incorrect.

We extend the usual vacuum Metric-Affine f(R) gravity by supplementing it with all parity even quadratic invariants in torsion and non-metricity. As we show explicitly this supplementation drastically changes the status of the theory which now propagates an additional scalar degree of freedom on top of the graviton. This scalar degree of freedom has a geometric origin as it relates to spacetime torsion and non-metricity. The resulting theory can be written equivalently as a metric and torsionless scalar–tensor theory whose potential and kinetic term coupling depend on the choice of the function f(R) and the dimensionless parameters of the quadratic invariants respectively.

We investigate the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of static and spherically symmetric black holes (BHs) in vacuum within the framework of gravity, and compare them with those in gravity. Based on the symmetric teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, we notice that the gravitational effects arise from non-metricity (the covariant derivative of metrics) in gravity rather than curvature in f(R) or torsion in . Using the finite difference method and the sixth-order Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method, we compute the QNMs of massless scalar field and electromagnetic field perturbations. Tables of quasinormal frequencies for various parameter configurations are provided based on the sixth-order WKB method. Our findings reveal the differences in the QNMs of BHs in gravity compared to those in f(R) and gravity. This variation demonstrates the impact of different parameter values, offering insights into the characteristics of gravity. These results provide the theoretical groundwork for assessing alternative gravities’ viability through gravitational wave data, and aid probably in picking out the alternative gravity theory that best aligns with the empirical reality.

In the absence of gravity, Coleman’s theorem states that the O(4)-symmetric instanton solution, which is regular at the origin and exponentially decays at infinity, gives the lowest action. Perturbatively, this implies that any small deformation from O(4)-symmetry gives a larger action. In this letter we investigate the possibility of extending this theorem to the situation where the O(4)-symmetric instanton is singular, provided that the action is finite. In particular, we show a general form of the potential around the origin, which realizes a singular instanton with finite action. We then discuss a concrete example in which this situation is realized, and analyze non-trivial anisotropic deformations around the solution perturbatively. Intriguingly, in contrast to the case of Coleman’s instantons, we find that there exists a deformed solution that has the same action as the one for the O(4)-symmetric solution up to the second order in perturbation. Our result implies that there exist non-O(4)-symmetric solutions with finite action beyond Coleman’s instantons, and gives rise to the possibility of the existence of a non-O(4)-symmetric instanton with a lower action.

We study null hypersurfaces approaching null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes within the Bondi–Sachs gauge. The null Raychaudhuri constraint is shown to asymptote to the Bondi mass-loss formula, interpreted as a stress tensor conservation law. This stress tensor, the null Brown–York tensor, yields a Carrollian stress tensor at null infinity from the bulk. Furthermore, we establish that the canonical phase space on finite-distance null hypersurfaces asymptotes to the Ashtekar–Streubel phase space. This connection between finite-distance null physics and null infinity unveils promising insights.

We present results for the numerical evaluation of scalar quasinormal modes in Taub-NUT-AdS4 spacetimes. To achieve this we consider angular modes that correspond to non-unitary highest weight SU(2) representations since global regularity is not consistent with the presence of complex quasinormal modes. We show that for any non-zero value of the NUT charge n there exists a region in the complex plane that contains only stable quasinormal modes. The radius of this region increases with the horizon distance and decreases with n towards a constant value for infinite n. We also find analytic and numerical evidence for the existence of a critical NUT charge ncr beyond which the lowest lying stable quasinormal modes become overdamped. Our results draw an intricate picture for the holographic fluid of Taub-NUT-AdS4.
