The current work treats cosmological perturbation in a mixture of standard matter, Chaplygin gas as well as Gauss-bonnet fluids using a 1+3 covariant approach in the context of modified $f(G)$ gravity. We define the gradient variables to obtain linear perturbation equations. After scalar and redshift transformations, we consider both an original Chaplygin and generalized Chaplygin gas models under Gauss-bonnet gravity. For pedagogical purposes, the consideration of polynomial $f(G)$ gravity model was used to solve the perturbation equations for short- and long- wavelength modes and investigate the late time evolution. The numerical solutions were obtained. The results show that the energy overdensity perturbations decay with an increase in redshift. The treatment recovers GR results under limiting cases.

The thermodynamics of local causal horizons has been shown to imply gravitational dynamics. In this essay, we discuss the principles underlying this observation, and its significance in our understanding of (quantum) gravity. We also show why the local thermodynamic methods cannot by themselves recover general relativity. Instead, they lead to the so-called Weyl transverse gravity. Because of this, local thermodynamic approaches avoid huge vacuum energy contributions to the cosmological constant. They even suggest a possible source for its small observed value. We also outline a way in which thermodynamics allows us to study low energy quantum gravitational effects. We arrive at quantum corrections to the gravitational equations which are suppressed by the Planck length squared.

Hawking showed that a black hole formed by collapse will emit radiation and eventually disappear. We address the challenge to define an objective notion of physical entropy which increases throughout this process in a way consistent with unitarity. We have suggested that (instead of coarse-grained entropy) physical entropy is matter-gravity entanglement entropy and that this may offer an explanation of entropy increase both for the black hole collapse and evaporation system and also for other closed unitarily evolving systems. For this to work, the matter-gravity entanglement entropy of the late-time state of black hole evaporation would have to be larger than the entropy of the freshly formed black hole. We argue that this may possibly be the case due to (usually neglected) photon-graviton interactions.

The thermodynamic properties of black holes — temperature, entropy and radiation rates — are usually associated with the presence of a horizon. We argue that any extremely compact object (ECO) must have the same thermodynamic properties. Quantum fields just outside the surface of an ECO have a large negative Casimir energy similar to the Boulware vacuum of black holes. If the thermal radiation emanating from the ECO does not fill the near-surface region at the local Unruh temperature, then we find that no solution of gravity equations is possible. In string theory, black holes microstates are horizonless quantum objects called fuzzballs that are expected to have a surface [Formula: see text] outside [Formula: see text]; thus the information puzzle is resolved while preserving the semiclassical thermodynamics of black holes.

The model of generalized Tsallis holographic dark energy (which is known to be particular representative of Nojiri-Odintsov HDE) with event horizon as cut-off is investigated using methods of dynamical analysis. We take into consideration possible interaction with dark energy and matter in various forms. Critical points are determined. Cosmological evolution of the Universe depends from interaction parameters. If we use event horizon scale as cutoff quasi-de Sitter expansion is possible only for interaction of type $sim H(alpharho_{de}+betarho_{m})$ (where $H$ is the Hubble parameter). For interactions $sim rho_m rho_{de} /H$ and $sim H rho_{m}^{alpha}rho_{de}^{1-alpha}$ Universe eventually stops ($Hrightarrow 0$) or ends its existence in final singularity ($Hrightarrowinfty$). In first case fraction of dark energy tends to $1$ or constant value lesser than 1 because dynamical equilibrium between matter and dark energy is established on late times.

In General Relativity, the allowed set of diffeomorphisms or gauge transformations at asymptotic infinity forms the BMS group, an infinite-dimensional extension of the Poincar'e group. We focus on the structure of the BMS group in two distinct forms of Hamiltonian dynamics - the instant and front forms. Both similarities and differences in these two forms are examined while emphasising the role of non-covariant approaches to symmetries in gravity.

A generic implication of incorporating gravitational effects in the analysis of quantum measurements is the existence of a zero-point length of spacetime. This requires an inherently non-local description of spacetime, beyond the usual one based on metric $g_{ab}(x)$ etc. The quantum spacetime should instead be reconstructed from non-local bi-tensors of the form $mathscr{G}_{ab ldots i'j' ldots}(x,x')$. A deeper look then reveals a subtle interplay interplay between non-locality and the limit $Ghbar/c^3 to 0$. In particular, the so called emergent gravity paradigm -- in which gravitational dynamics/action/spacetime are emergent and characterised by an *entropy functional* -- arises as the Cheshire grin of a fundamentally non-local quantum spacetime. This essay describes the flow of metric with respect to Planck length, and proposes a novel action for the same.

The question about the appearance of time in the semiclassical limit of quantum gravity continues to be discussed in the literature. It is believed that a temporal Schrodinger equation for matter fields on the background of a classical gravitational field must be true. To obtain this equation, the Born - Oppenheimer approximation for gravity is used. However, the origin of time in this equation is different in works of various authors. For example, in the papers of Kiefer and his collaborators, time is a parameter along a classical trajectory of gravitational field; in the works of Montani and his collaborators the origin of time is introducing the Kuchar - Torre reference fluid; in the extended phase space approach the origin of time is the consequence of existing of the observer in a fixed reference frame. We discuss and compare these approaches. To make the calculations transparent, we illustrate them with a model of a closed isotropic universe. In each approach, one obtains some Schrodinger equation for matter fields with quantum gravitational corrections, but the form of the equation and the corrections depend on additional assumptions which are rather arbitrary. None of the approaches can explain how time had appeared in the Early Universe, since it is supposed that classical gravity and, therefore, classical spacetime had already come into being.
