Title Robustness of braneworld scenarios against tensorial perturbations Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 32 Issue 21 Pages 215011 - 10pp
Keywords (up) brane-worlds; tensorial perturbations; metric-affine geometry
Abstract Inspired by the peculiarities of the effective geometry of crystalline structures, we reconsider thick brane scenarios from a metric-affine perspective. We show that for a rather general family of theories of gravity, whose Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the metric and the Ricci tensor, the background and scalar field equations can be written in first-order form, and tensorial perturbations have a non negative definite spectrum, which makes them stable under linear perturbations regardless of the form of the gravity Lagrangian. We find, in particular, that the tensorial zero modes are exactly the same as predicted by Einstein's theory regardless of the scalar field and gravitational Lagrangians.

Title Gravitational traces of bumblebee gravity in metric-affine formalism Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 41 Issue 5 Pages 055003 - 21pp
Keywords (up) bumblebee gravity; metric affine formalism; shadows
Abstract This work explores various manifestations of bumblebee gravity within the metric-affine formalism. We investigate the impact of the Lorentz violation parameter, denoted as X, on the modification of the Hawking temperature. Our calculations reveal that as X increases, the values of the Hawking temperature attenuate. To examine the behavior of massless scalar perturbations, specifically the quasinormal modes, we employ the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method. The transmission and reflection coefficients are determined through our calculations. The outcomes indicate that a stronger Lorentz-violating parameter results in slower damping oscillations of gravitational waves. To comprehend the influence of the quasinormal spectrum on time-dependent scattering phenomena, we present a detailed analysis of scalar perturbations in the time-domain solution. Additionally, we conduct an investigation on shadows, revealing that larger values of X correspond to larger shadow radii. Furthermore, we constrain the magnitude of the shadow radii using the EHT horizon-scale image of SgrA* . Finally, we calculate both the time delay and the deflection angle.

Title In the realm of the Hubble tension – a review of solutions Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 38 Issue 15 Pages 153001 - 110pp
Keywords (up) cosmological parameters; cosmology; dark energy; Hubble constant
Abstract The simplest ΛCDM model provides a good fit to a large span of cosmological data but harbors large areas of phenomenology and ignorance. With the improvement of the number and the accuracy of observations, discrepancies among key cosmological parameters of the model have emerged. The most statistically significant tension is the 4 sigma to 6 sigma disagreement between predictions of the Hubble constant, H (0), made by the early time probes in concert with the 'vanilla' ΛCDM cosmological model, and a number of late time, model-independent determinations of H (0) from local measurements of distances and redshifts. The high precision and consistency of the data at both ends present strong challenges to the possible solution space and demands a hypothesis with enough rigor to explain multiple observations-whether these invoke new physics, unexpected large-scale structures or multiple, unrelated errors. A thorough review of the problem including a discussion of recent Hubble constant estimates and a summary of the proposed theoretical solutions is presented here. We include more than 1000 references, indicating that the interest in this area has grown considerably just during the last few years. We classify the many proposals to resolve the tension in these categories: early dark energy, late dark energy, dark energy models with 6 degrees of freedom and their extensions, models with extra relativistic degrees of freedom, models with extra interactions, unified cosmologies, modified gravity, inflationary models, modified recombination history, physics of the critical phenomena, and alternative proposals. Some are formally successful, improving the fit to the data in light of their additional degrees of freedom, restoring agreement within 1-2 sigma between Planck 2018, using the cosmic microwave background power spectra data, baryon acoustic oscillations, Pantheon SN data, and R20, the latest SH0ES Team Riess, et al (2021 Astrophys. J. 908 L6) measurement of the Hubble constant (H (0) = 73.2 +/- 1.3 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) at 68% confidence level). However, there are many more unsuccessful models which leave the discrepancy well above the 3 sigma disagreement level. In many cases, reduced tension comes not simply from a change in the value of H (0) but also due to an increase in its uncertainty due to degeneracy with additional physics, complicating the picture and pointing to the need for additional probes. While no specific proposal makes a strong case for being highly likely or far better than all others, solutions involving early or dynamical dark energy, neutrino interactions, interacting cosmologies, primordial magnetic fields, and modified gravity provide the best options until a better alternative comes along.

Title A scenario for critical scalar field collapse in AdS(3) Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 32 Issue 9 Pages 095009 - 16pp
Keywords (up) critical collapse; exact solutions; AdS(3)
Abstract We present a family of exact solutions, depending on two parameters alpha and b (related to the scalar field strength), to the three-dimensional Einstein-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant Lambda. For b not equal 0 these solutions reduce to the static Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) family of vacuum solutions, with mass M = -alpha. For b not equal 0, the solutions become dynamical and develop a strong spacelike central singularity. The alpha < 0 solutions are black-hole like, with a global structure topologically similar to that of the BTZ black holes, and a finite effective mass. We show that the near-singularity behavior of the solutions with alpha > 0 agrees qualitatively with that observed in numerical simulations of sub-critical collapse, including the independence of the near-critical regime on the angle deficit of the spacetime. We analyze in the Lambda = 0 approximation the linear perturbations of the self-similar threshold solution, alpha = 0, and find that it has only one unstable growing mode, which qualifies it as a candidate critical solution for scalar field collapse.

Title Junction conditions in Palatini f(R) gravity Type Journal Article
Year 2020 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 37 Issue 21 Pages 215002 - 11pp
Keywords (up) f(R) gravity; junction conditions; Palatini approach; stellar structure
Abstract We work out the junction conditions for f(R) gravity formulated in metric-affine (Palatini) spaces using a tensor distributional approach. These conditions are needed for building consistent models of gravitating bodies with an interior and exterior regions matched at some hypersurface. Some of these conditions depart from the standard Darmois-Israel ones of general relativity and from their metric f(R) counterparts. In particular, we find that the trace of the stress-energy momentum tensor in the bulk must be continuous across the matching hypersurface, though its normal derivative need not to. We illustrate the relevance of these conditions by considering the properties of stellar surfaces in polytropic models, showing that the range of equations of state with potentially pathological effects is shifted beyond the domain of physical interest. This confirms, in particular, that neutron stars and white dwarfs can be safely modelled within the Palatini f(R) framework.

Title Accelerated observers and the notion of singular spacetime Type Journal Article
Year 2018 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 35 Issue 5 Pages 055010 - 18pp
Keywords (up) general relativity; geodesic behaviour; black holes; spacetime singularities; modified theories of gravity
Abstract Geodesic completeness is typically regarded as a basic criterion to determine whether a given spacetime is regular or singular. However, the principle of general covariance does not privilege any family of observers over the others and, therefore, observers with arbitrary motions should be able to provide a complete physical description of the world. This suggests that in a regular spacetime, all physically acceptable observers should have complete paths. In this work we explore this idea by studying the motion of accelerated observers in spherically symmetric spacetimes and illustrate it by considering two geodesically complete black hole spacetimes recently described in the literature. We show that for bound and locally unbound accelerations, the paths of accelerated test particles are complete, providing further support to the regularity of such spacetimes.

Title The trivial role of torsion in projective invariant theories of gravity with non-minimally coupled matter fields Type Journal Article
Year 2017 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 34 Issue 23 Pages 235003 - 20pp
Keywords (up) modified gravity; metric-affine theories; torsion; non-minimal couplings
Abstract We study a large family of metric-affine theories with a projective symmetry, including non-minimally coupled matter fields which respect this invariance. The symmetry is straightforwardly realised by imposing that the connection only enters through the symmetric part of the Ricci tensor, even in the matter sector. We leave the connection completely free (including torsion), and obtain its general solution as the Levi-Civita connection of an auxiliary metric, showing that the torsion only appears as a projective mode. This result justifies the widely used condition of setting vanishing torsion in these theories as a simple gauge choice. We apply our results to some particular cases considered in the literature, including the so-called Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld theories among others. We finally discuss the possibility of imposing a gauge fixing where the connection is metric compatible, and comment on the genuine character of the non-metricity in theories where the two metrics are not conformally related.

Title On the duality of Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime and moving mirror Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 39 Issue 5 Pages 055006 - 18pp
Keywords (up) QFT in curved spacetime; black holes; cosmological horizons; moving mirrors
Abstract The Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) metric is the simplest spacetime solution in general relativity with both a black hole event horizon and a cosmological event horizon. Since the Schwarzschild metric is the most simple solution of Einstein's equations with spherical symmetry and the de Sitter metric is the most simple solution of Einstein's equations with a positive cosmological constant, the combination in the SdS metric defines an appropriate background geometry for semi-classical investigation of Hawking radiation with respect to past and future horizons. Generally, the black hole temperature is larger than that of the cosmological horizon, so there is heat flow from the smaller black hole horizon to the larger cosmological horizon, despite questions concerning the definition of the relative temperature of the black hole without a measurement by an observer sitting in an asymptotically flat spacetime. Here we investigate the accelerating boundary correspondence of the radiation in SdS spacetime without such a problem. We have solved for the boundary dynamics, energy flux and asymptotic particle spectrum. The distribution of particles is globally non-thermal while asymptotically the radiation reaches equilibrium.

Title Impact of curvature divergences on physical observers in a wormhole space-time with horizons Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 33 Issue 11 Pages 115007 - 12pp
Keywords (up) Singularities; black holes; metric-affine geometry
Abstract The impact of curvature divergences on physical observers in a black hole space-time, which, nonetheless, is geodesically complete is investigated. This space-time is an exact solution of certain extensions of general relativity coupled to Maxwell's electrodynamics and, roughly speaking, consists of two Reissner-Nordstrom (or Schwarzschild or Minkowski) geometries connected by a spherical wormhole near the center. We find that, despite the existence of infinite tidal forces, causal contact is never lost among the elements making up the observer. This suggests that curvature divergences may not be as pathological as traditionally thought.

Title Analysis of a regular black hole in Verlinde's gravity Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity
Volume 41 Issue 1 Pages 015003 - 30pp
Keywords (up) Verlinde's emergent gravity; dark matter; shadows; black hole
Abstract This work focuses on the examination of a regular black hole within Verlinde's emergent gravity, specifically investigating the Hayward-like (modified) solution. The study reveals the existence of three horizons under certain conditions, i.e. an event horizon and two Cauchy horizons. Our results indicate regions which phase transitions occur based on the analysis of heat capacity and Hawking temperature. To compute the latter quantity, we utilize three distinct methods: the surface gravity approach, Hawking radiation, and the application of the first law of thermodynamics. In the case of the latter approach, it is imperative to introduce a correction to ensure the preservation of the Bekenstein-Hawking area law. Geodesic trajectories and critical orbits (photon spheres) are calculated, highlighting the presence of three light rings. Additionally, we investigate the black hole shadows. Furthermore, the quasinormal modes are explored using third- and sixth-order Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximations. In particular, we observe stable and unstable oscillations for certain frequencies. Finally, in order to comprehend the phenomena of time-dependent scattering in this scenario, we provide an investigation of the time-domain solution.
