We study the spontaneous scalarization of Bardeen black holes, whose tachyonic instability triggers the formation of scalarized charged black holes (SCBHs). In this case, we find infinite ($n=0,1,2,cdots$) branches of SCBHs with magnetic charge $g$. The $n = 0$ branch of SCBHs can be found for the coupling parameter $alpha geq alpha_{n=0}(g)$ with both quadratic (1-$alpha varphi^2$) and exponential ($e^{-alpha varphi^2}$) couplings, where $alpha_{n=0}(g)$ represents the threshold of tachyonic instability for the Bardeen black holes. Furthermore, it is shown that the $n = 0$ branch for both couplings is stable against radial perturbations. This stability shows that this branch can be used for further observational implications.

By utilizing the AdS/CFT correspondence and wave optics techniques, we conducted an extensive study of the imaging properties of holographic Einstein rings in the context of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes (BHs) in Horndeski theory. Our results indicate that the optical characteristics of these holographic Einstein rings are significantly influenced by the observer's position, the physical parameters of the BH, the nature of the wave source, and the configuration of the optical system. Specifically, when the observer is positioned at the north pole of the AdS boundary, the holographic image prominently displays a ring structure aligning with the BH's photon sphere. We thoroughly analyzed how various physical parameters -- including the observation position, event horizon radius, temperature, and the parameter $gamma$ in Horndeski theory -- affect the holographic Einstein rings. These parameters play a crucial role in determining the rings' radius and brightness, with variations potentially causing the ring structures to deform or even transform into bright spots. Furthermore, our comparative analysis between wave optics and geometric optics reveals a strong agreement in predicting the positions and brightnesses of both the photon ring and the Einstein ring. This research offers new insights into the spacetime geometry of BHs in Horndeski theory and proposes a promising framework for exploring the gravitational duals of strongly coupled systems.

In this study, we investigate traversable wormhole solutions within the setup of $f(R,mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity, a modified theory of gravity where the gravitational action relies upon the matter Lagrangian $mathcal{L}_{m}$ and the Ricci scalar $R$. In General Relativity (GR), stability issues in traversable wormholes necessitate the existence of exotic matter that violates the null energy condition (NEC). In contrast, we explore wormhole solutions that align with the criteria for Casimir wormholes, which do not necessarily require NEC violation. Our analysis demonstrates that in the context of $f(R,mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity, exotic matter can sustain these wormholes. We further examine the traversability conditions of the wormhole, considering both scenarios with and without the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) correction. Additionally, the stability of the wormhole is assessed based on equilibrium conditions. Our findings suggest that $f(R,mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity offers a viable framework for the existence of stable, traversable wormholes sustained by exotic matter, potentially expanding the landscape of viable wormhole solutions beyond the confines of GR.

Recently, magnetic reconnection has attracted considerable attention as a novel energy extraction mechanism, relying on the rapid reconnection of magnetic field lines within the ergosphere. We have investigated the properties of the energy extraction via magnetic reconnection in a Konoplya-Zhidenko rotating non-Kerr black hole spacetime with an extra deformation parameter. Our results show that the positive deformation parameter expands the possible region of energy extraction and improves the maximum power, maximum efficiency, and the maximum ratio of energy extraction between magnetic reconnection and the Blandford-Znajek process. This means that in the Konoplya-Zhidenko rotating non-Kerr black hole spacetime one can extract more energy via magnetic reconnection than in the Kerr black hole case. These effects of the deformation parameter may provide valuable clues for future astronomical observations of black holes and verification of gravity theories.

We consider theories which break the invariance under diffeomorphisms (Diff) down to transverse diffeomorphisms (TDiff) in the matter sector, consisting of multiple scalar fields. In particular, we regard shift-symmetric models with two free TDiff scalar fields in a flat Robertson-Walker spacetime and use the perfect fluid approach to study their dynamics. As a consequence of the symmetry breaking, an effective interaction between the fields is induced from the conservation of the total energy-momentum tensor, without the necessity to introduce any explicit interacting term in the Lagrangian. We study the different single-field domination regimes and analyze the energy exchange between the fields. Thereupon, we introduce an application of these models for the description of interactions in the dark sector, and compare the theoretical predictions of our model to observational data from Type Ia supernovae.

In the framework of Simpson-Visser, the search for field sources that produce black bounces in alternative gravity theories has remained unresolved. In this paper, the first in a series exploring sources for alternative theories of gravity, we identify such a source for the $2+1$ dimensional K-gravity black bounce. The K-gravity black hole is notable for allowing asymptotically locally flat solutions in lower-dimensional spacetime, yet it possesses curvature singularities concealed within the event horizon. Using the Simpson-Visser regularization technique, we eliminate this singularity, constructing asymptotically locally flat black-bounce solutions in $2+1$ dimensions. We explore the causal structure of these solutions, identifying the conditions under which they describe regular black holes or wormholes. By calculating curvature invariants, we confirm the absence of singularities within the event horizon. Additionally, we demonstrate that, beyond non-linear electrodynamics, a non-linear scalar field is required to source the solution. Finally, we investigate the geodesic structure of this spacetime, analyzing the trajectories of both massive and massless particles. We also confirm the existence of circular orbits and assess their stability.
在辛普森-维瑟的框架内,寻找在另类引力理论中产生黑弹的场源的问题一直悬而未决。本文是探索另类引力理论场源系列的第一篇论文,我们为 2+1$ 维 K 引力黑反弹确定了这样一个场源。K引力黑洞的显著特点是允许在低维时空中出现近似局部平坦的解,但它在事件视界内隐藏着曲率奇异性。我们利用辛普森-维塞尔正则化技术消除了这种奇异性,从而在 2+1 美元维度中构建了渐近局部平坦的黑洞反弹解。我们探索了这些解的因果结构,确定了它们描述规则黑洞或虫洞的条件。通过计算曲率不变量,我们证实在偶数边界内不存在奇点。此外,我们还证明,除了非线性电动力学之外,还需要一个非线性标量场作为解的来源。最后,我们研究了这个时空的大地结构,分析了大质量和无质量粒子的轨迹。我们还证实了圆形轨道的存在,并评估了其稳定性。

Ultra-light primordial black holes (PBHs) with masses $M_{rm PBH}<5times 10^8mathrm{g}$ can dominate transiently the energy budget of the Universe and reheat the Universe through their evaporation taking place before Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. The isocurvature energy density fluctuations associated to the inhomogeneous distribution of a population of such PBHs can induce an abundant production of GWs due to second-order gravitational effects. In this work, we discuss the effect of primordial non-Gaussianity on the clustering properties of PBHs and study the effect of a clustered PBH population on the spectral shape of the aforementioned induced GW signal. In particular, focusing on local-type non-Gaussianity we find a double-peaked GW signal with the amplitude of the low-frequency peak being proportional to the square of the non-Gaussian parameter $tau_mathrm{NL}$. Remarkably, depending on the PBH mass $M_{rm PBH}$ and the initial abundance of PBHs at formation time, i.e. $Omega_mathrm{PBH,f}$, this double-peaked GW signal can lie well within the frequency bands of forthcoming GW detectors, namely LISA, ET, SKA and BBO, hence rendering this signal falsifiable by GW experiments and promoting it as a novel portal probing the primordial non-Gaussianity.

Determining the Hubble constant (H0), a fundamental parameter describing cosmic expansion, remains a challenge due to conflicting measurements from the early and late universe. Gravitational wave (GW) observations from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, with identified host galaxies through electromagnetic (EM) follow-up, offer an independent method to measure H0. However, this requires detection of numerous events, which could take decades with current GW detectors. LIGO-India can dramatically accelerate this effort. With sensitivity comparable to the existing LIGO detectors, its addition to the LIGO-Virgo network could increase detected events by 70%. This improvement nearly doubles when accounting for the detector's 70% duty cycle, increasing the probability of simultaneous operation of three detectors by a factor of ~2. We perform end-to-end simulations to estimate triple-coincidence detection rates and sky localization, considering realistic BNS populations, lightcurves, and EM observatory specifications. Our findings suggest LIGO-India could increase BNS events with observed kilonovae by ~2-7 times. The factor of few improvements in source localization precision with LIGO-India can allow much deeper EM follow-up campaigns (not considered in the simulations), potentially increasing the overall rate of detection of EM counterparts by a factor of ~20, which can have an enormous impact in addressing critical questions in different areas of astronomy. We evaluate the impact of LIGO-India in the context of H0 measurement and argue that it can cut down the required observation time of several decades by a factor of few and possibly to just few years with regular sensitivity upgrades.

In the milli-Hertz frequency band, stochastic gravitational-wave background can be composed of both astronomical and cosmological sources, both can be anisotropic. Numerically depicting these anisotropies can be critical in revealing the underlying properties of their origins. For the first time, we perform a theoretical analysis of the constraining ability of TianQin on multiple moments of the stochastic background. First, we find that with a one-year operation, for a background with a signal-to-noise ratio of 16, TianQin can recover the multiple moments up to $l=4$. We also identified a unique feature of the stochastic background sky map, which is the mirror symmetry along the fixed orbital plane of TianQin. Thirdly, we explain the difference in anisotropy recovering ability between TianQin and LISA, by employing the criteria of the singularity of the covariance matrix (which is the condition number). Finally, we find that since the different data channel combinations correspond to different singularities, certain combinations might have an advantage in stochastic background map-making. We believe that the findings of this work can provide an important reference to future stochastic background analysis pipelines. It can also serve as a guideline for designing better gravitational-wave detectors aiming to decipher anisotropies in the stochastic background.
在毫赫兹频段,随机引力波背景可以由天文源和宇宙源组成,两者都可以是各向异性的。数值描述这些各向异性对于揭示其起源的基本特性至关重要。我们首次对天琴对随机背景多矩的约束能力进行了理论分析。首先,我们发现在信噪比为16的背景下,天琴可以恢复高达$l=4$的多个矩。我们还发现了随机背景天图的一个独特特征,即沿天琴固定轨道平面的镜面对称性。第三,我们利用协方差矩阵的奇异性标准(即条件数)解释了天琴和 LISA 在各向异性恢复能力上的差异。最后,我们发现由于不同的数据通道组合对应不同的奇异性,因此某些组合在随机背景图制作中可能具有优势。我们相信,这项工作的发现可以为未来的随机背景分析管道提供重要参考。它还可以为设计更好的引力波探测器提供指导,以破译随机背景中的各向异性。

Finally, we find that since the different data channel\u0000combinations correspond to different singularities, certain combinations might\u0000have an advantage in stochastic background map-making. We believe that the\u0000findings of this work can provide an important reference to future stochastic\u0000background analysis pipelines. It can also serve as a guideline for designing\u0000better gravitational-wave detectors aiming to decipher anisotropies in the\u0000stochastic background.","PeriodicalId":501041,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
In this article, we extend the standard $Lambda$CDM model by incorporating causal viscous dark matter (vDM) modelled using Maxwell-Cattaneo theory and obtain a novel Hubble parameter solution for the model, which can even be extended to incorporate both radiation and baryonic matter components. A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the model is carried out by deriving theoretical constraints on model parameters, comparing the model with the latest observational data sets and validating the behaviour of the model under different thermodynamic laws. Such an in-depth analysis of the model yielded several intriguing results, like the presence of sign-switching bulk viscous pressure which aids both, the decelerated expansion in the early universe and the accelerated expansion in the late universe, possibility of having negative specific entropy rate in the early Universe while still satisfying the covariant second law of thermodynamics, and a correlation between relaxation time parameter and sign-switching redshift. Finally, we propose a unified dark matter (UDM) interpretation for the dark sector in this model and hence showed that, under the said UDM interpretation, this model can satisfy the much-required near equilibrium condition associated with the background dissipative theory both in the early and late phase of the Universe. Based on the NEC trend showcased by the model, we conjuncture that the late-accelerating behaviour of Universe can be viewed as a means for the UDM fluid to attain a global equilibrium state.
