Recent observational evidences point out towards a late time acceleration of the universe. In order to study the accelerated expansion, scientists have incorporated the existence of an exotic matter with negative pressure, termed as dark energy. Afterwards a new idea of dark energy has been studied depending on the holographic principle of quantum gravity, called as the Holographic Dark Energy(HDE). Later on modifying Bekestein-Hawking entropy, different generalized entropies have been proposed, one of them being Rényi entropy which leads to Rényi holographic dark energy model (RHDE). We have considered RHDE model with Hubble horizon as the IR cut off and have studied the cosmological behaviour under non interacting, linear and non-linear interacting scenarios with the help of dynamical systems analysis. We have also investigated the stability of the system around hyperbolic critical points along with the type of fluid description, evolution of equation of state parameter as well as matter and energy density parameters.

The latest observations from the LIGO-Virgo indicated the existence of mass-gap region astrophysical objects. This is a rather sensational observation and there are two possibilities for the nature of these mass-gap region astrophysical objects, these are either small black holes that result from the mergers of ordinary mass neutron stars, or these are heavy neutron stars. In the line of research implied by the former possibility, in this work we shall examine the implied neutron star phenomenology from vector f(R) gravity inflationary models. These theories are basically scalar-tensor deformations of the Starobinsky inflationary model. We shall present the essential features of cosmologically viable and non-viable deformations of the Starobinsky model, originating from vector f(R) gravity inflationary theories, and we indicate which models and for which equations of state provide a viable neutron star phenomenology. We solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations using a robust double shooting LSODA python based code, for the following piecewise polytropic equations of state: the WFF1, the SLy, the APR, the MS1, the AP3, the AP4, the ENG, the MPA1 and the MS1b. We confront the resulting phenomenology with several well-known neutron star constraints, and we indicate which equation of state and model fits the phenomenological constraints. A remarkable feature, also known from other inflationary attractor models, is that the MPA1 is the equation of state which is most nicely fitted to the constraints, for all the theoretical models used, and actually the maximum mass for this equation of state is well inside the mass-gap region. Another mentionable feature that stroked us with surprise is the fact that even cosmologically non-viable inflationary models produced a viable neutron star phenomenology, which most likely has to be a model-dependent feature.

We describe an attempt of string theoretic derivation of the Gibbons-Hawking entropy. Despite not admitting a de Sitter vacuum, the string theory, by the power of open-close correspondence, captures the Gibbons-Hawking entropy as the entropy of Chan-Paton species on a de Sitter-like state obtained via D-branes. Moreover, this derivation sheds a new light at the origin of the area-form, since the equality takes place for a critical ’t Hooft coupling for which the species entropy of open strings saturates the area-law unitarity bound.

The gravitational field equations in general relativity (GR) consist of a sophisticated system of nonlinear partial differential equations. Solving such equations in some generic off-diagonal forms is usually a hard analytic or numeric task. Physically important solutions in GR were constructed using diagonal ansatz for metrics with maximum 4 independent coefficients. The Einstein equations can be solved in exact or parametric forms determined by some integration constants for corresponding assumptions on spherical or cylindric spacetime symmetries. The anholonomic frame and connection deformation method allows us to construct generic off-diagonal solutions described by 6 independent coefficients of metrics depending, in general, on all spacetime coordinates. New types of exact and parametric solutions are determined by generating and integration functions and (effective) generating sources. They may describe vacuum gravitational and matter fields solitonic hierarchies; locally anisotropic polarizations of physical constants for black holes, wormholes, black toruses, or cosmological solutions; various types of off-diagonal deformations of horizons etc. The additional degrees of freedom (related to off-diagonal coefficients) can be used to describe dark energy and dark matter configurations and elaborate locally anisotropic cosmological scenarios. In general, the generic off-diagonal solutions do not involve certain hypersurface or holographic configurations and can’t be described in the framework of the Bekenstein-Hawking thermodynamic paradigm. We argue that generalizing the concept of G. Perelman’s entropy for relativistic Ricci flows allows us to define and compute geometric thermodynamic variables for all possible classes of solutions in GR.

In this manuscript we confirm the presence of a Rindler horizon at CERN-NA63 by exploring its thermodynamics induced by the Unruh effect in their high energy channeling radiation experiments. By linking the entropy of the emitted radiation to the photon number, we find the measured spectrum to be a simple manifestation of the second law of Rindler horizon thermodynamics and thus a direct measurement of the recoil Fulling-Davies-Unruh (FDU) temperature. Moreover, since the experiment is born out of an ultra-relativistic positron, and the FDU temperature is defined in the proper frame, we find that temperature boosts as a length and thus fast objects appear colder. The spectrum also provides us with a simple setting to measure fundamental constants, and we employ it to measure the positron mass.

In this short paper, we investigate the consequences of observer dependence of the quantum effective potential for an interacting field theory. Specializing to (d+2) dimensional Euclidean Rindler space, we develop the formalism to calculate the effective potential. While the free energy diverges due to the presence of the Rindler horizon, the effective potential, which is a local function of space, is finite after the necessary renormalization procedure. We apply the results of our formalism to understand the restoration of spontaneously broken (mathbb {Z}_2) symmetry in three and four dimensions.

We shall investigate the inflation for the D-brane model, motivated by the modified gravity (F(phi ,T)). This gravity has been recently introduced in the literature. The feasibility of the D-brane inflation theory in the (F(phi ,T))-gravity has been studied in conjunction with the most recent Planck data. We shall analyze the slow-roll inflation in the context of the (F(phi )T)-gravity, via the D-brane model. Then, we shall calculate the inflation dynamics to obtain the scalar spectral index “(n_s)” and the tensor-to-scalar ratio “r”. Besides, we investigate the dynamics of the reheating for this model. Our model accurately covers the left-hand side of the Planck data and the D-brane inflation.

We present a novel approach for calculating the gravitational self-force (GSF) in the Lorenz gauge, employing hyperboloidal slicing and spectral methods. Our method builds on the previous work that applied hyperboloidal surfaces and spectral approaches to a scalar-field toy model [Phys. Rev. D 105, 104033 (2022)], extending them to handle gravitational perturbations. Focusing on first-order metric perturbations, we address the construction of the hyperboloidal foliation, detailing the minimal gauge choice. The Lorenz gauge is adopted to facilitate well-understood regularisation procedures, which are essential for obtaining physically meaningful GSF results. We calculate the Lorenz gauge metric perturbation for a secondary on a quasicircular orbit in a Schwarzschild background via a (known) gauge transformation from the Regge-Wheeler gauge. Our approach yields a robust framework for obtaining the metric perturbation components needed to calculate key physical quantities, such as radiative fluxes, the Detweiler redshift, and self-force corrections. Furthermore, the compactified hyperboloidal approach allows us to efficiently calculate the metric perturbation throughout the entire spacetime. This work thus establishes a foundational methodology for future second-order GSF calculations within this gauge, offering computational efficiencies through spectral methods.

A class of f(R, T) theories extends the Einstein-Hilbert action by incorporating a general function of R and T, the Ricci scalar and the trace of the ordinary energy-momentum tensor (T_{mu nu }), respectively, thereby introducing a specific modification to the Einstein’s field equations based on matter fields. Given that this modification is intrinsically tied to an energy-momentum tensor (T_{mu nu }) that a priori respects energy conditions, we explore the potential of f(R, T) theories admitting wormhole configurations satisfying energy conditions, unlike General Relativity, which typically necessitates exotic matter sources. Consequently, we investigate the existence of dynamical wormhole geometries that either uphold energy conditions or minimize their violations within the framework of trace of energy-momentum tensor squared gravity. To ensure the generality of our study, we consider two distinct equations of state for the matter content and systematically classify possible solutions based on constraints related to the wormhole’s throat size, the coupling parameter of the theory, and the equation of state parameters.

In this paper, we determine the relativistic bound-state solutions for the charged (DO) Dirac oscillator in a rotating frame in the Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda spacetime in ((2+1))-dimensions, where such solutions are given by the two-component normalizable Dirac spinor and by the relativistic energy spectrum. To analytically solve our problem, we consider two approximations, where the first is that the cosmological constant is very small (conical approximation), and the second is that the linear velocity of the rotating frame is much less than the speed of light (slow rotation regime). After solving a second-order differential equation, we obtain a generalized Laguerre equation, whose solutions are the generalized Laguerre polynomials. Consequently, we obtain the energy spectrum, which is quantized in terms of the radial and total magnetic quantum numbers n and (m_j), and depends on the angular frequency (omega ) (describes the DO), cyclotron frequency (omega _c) (describes the external magnetic field), angular velocity (Omega ) (describes the rotating frame), spin parameter s (describes the “spin”), spinorial parameter u (describes the components of the spinor), effective rest mass (m_{eff}) (describes the rest mass modified by the spin-rotation coupling), and on a real parameter (sigma ) and cosmological constant (Lambda ) (describes the Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda spacetime). In particular, we note that this spectrum is asymmetrical (due to (Omega )) and has its degeneracy broken (due to (sigma ) and (Lambda )). Besides, we also graphically analyze the behavior of the spectrum and of the probability density as a function of the parameters of the system for different values of n and (m_j).
