  Title Nonsingular black holes in quadratic Palatini gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication European Physical Journal C Abbreviated Journal Eur. Phys. J. C  
  Volume (down) 72 Issue 8 Pages 2098 - 5pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We find that if general relativity is modified at the Planck scale by a Ricci-squared term, electrically charged black holes may be nonsingular. These objects concentrate their mass in a microscopic sphere of radius r(core) approximate to N(q)(1/2)l(P)/3, where l(P) is the Planck length and N-q is the number of electric charges. The singularity is avoided if the mass of the object satisfies the condition M-0(2) approximate to m(P)(2)alpha N-3/2(em)q(3)/2, where m(P) is the Planck mass and alpha(em) is the fine-structure constant. For astrophysical black holes this amount of charge is so small that their external horizon almost coincides with their Schwarzschild radius. We work within a first-order (Palatini) approach.

  Title Shadows and photon rings of regular black holes and geonic horizonless compact objects Type Journal Article
  Year 2023 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume (down) 40 Issue 17 Pages 174002 - 37pp  
  Keywords black holes; compact objects; photon rings; shadows; metric-affine gravity; Born-Infeld gravity; regular solutions  
  Abstract The optical appearance of a body compact enough to feature an unstable bound orbit, when surrounded by an accretion disk, is expected to be dominated by a luminous ring of radiation enclosing a central brightness depression typically known as the shadow. Despite observational limitations, the rough details of this picture have been now confirmed by the results of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration on the imaging of the M87 and Milky Way supermassive central objects. However, the precise characterization of both features-ring and shadow-depends on the interaction between the background geometry and the accretion disk, thus being a fertile playground to test our theories on the nature of compact objects and the gravitational field itself in the strong-field regime. In this work we use both features in order to test a continuous family of solutions interpolating between regular black holes and horizonless compact objects, which arise within the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld theory of gravity, a viable extension of Einstein's general relativity (GR). To this end we consider seven distinctive classes of such configurations (five black holes and two traversable wormholes) and study their optical appearances under illumination by a geometrically and optically thin accretion disk, emitting monochromatically with three analytic intensity profiles previously suggested in the literature. We build such images and consider the sub-ring structure created by light rays crossing the disk more than once and existing on top of the main ring of radiation. We discuss in detail the modifications as compared to their GR counterparts, the Lyapunov exponents of unstable nearly-bound orbits, as well as the differences between black hole and traversable wormholes for the three intensity profiles. In addition we use the claim by the EHT Collaboration on the radius of the bright ring acting (under proper calibrations) as a proxy for the radius of the shadow itself to explore the parameter space of our solutions compatible with such a result.

  Title Junction conditions in Palatini f(R) gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2020 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume (down) 37 Issue 21 Pages 215002 - 11pp  
  Keywords 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 (down) 35 Issue 5 Pages 055010 - 18pp  
  Keywords 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 Geodesically complete BTZ-type solutions of 2+1 Born-Infeld gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume (down) 34 Issue 4 Pages 045006 - 21pp  
  Keywords Born-Infeld gravity; BTZ; wormholes; nonsingular solutions; geodesic completeness  
  Abstract We study Born-Infeld gravity coupled to a static, non-rotating electric field in 2 + 1 dimensions and find exact analytical solutions. Two families of such solutions represent geodesically complete, and hence nonsingular, spacetimes. Another family represents a point-like charge with a singularity at the center. Despite the absence of rotation, these solutions resemble the charged, rotating BTZ solution of general relativity but with a richer structure in terms of horizons. The nonsingular character of the first two families turn out to be attached to the emergence of a wormhole structure on their innermost region. This seems to be a generic prediction of extensions of general relativity formulated in metric-affine (or Palatini) spaces, where metric and connection are regarded as independent degrees of freedom.

  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 (down) 33 Issue 11 Pages 115007 - 12pp  
  Keywords 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 Robustness of braneworld scenarios against tensorial perturbations Type Journal Article

  Volume (down) 32 Issue 21 Pages 215011 - 10pp  
  Keywords 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 Some recent results on Ricci-based gravity theories Type Journal Article

  Volume (down) 31 Issue Pages 2240012 - 15pp  
  Keywords Metric-affine gravity; scalar fields; stellar models; junction conditions; compact objects  
  Abstract In this paper, metric-afline theories in which the gravity Lagrangian is built using (projectively invariant) contractions of the Ricci tensor with itself and with the metric (Ricci-based gravity theories, or RBGs for short) are reviewed. The goal is to provide a contextualized and coherent presentation of some recent results. In particular, we focus on the correspondence that exists between the field equations of these theories and those of general relativity, and comment on how this can be used to build new solutions of physical interest. We also discuss the formalism of junction conditions in the f (R) case, and provide a brief summary on current experimental and observational bounds on model parameters.

  Title The quantum, the geon and the crystal Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics D Abbreviated Journal Int. J. Mod. Phys. D  
  Volume (down) 24 Issue 9 Pages 1542013 - 15pp  
  Keywords Effective geometries; crystalline structures; modified gravity; metric-affine approach; geons  
  Abstract Effective geometries arising from a hypothetical discrete structure of spacetime can play an important role in the understanding of the gravitational physics beyond General Relativity (GR). To discuss this question, we make use of lessons from crystalline systems within solid state physics, where the presence of defects in the discrete microstructure of the crystal determine the kind of effective geometry needed to properly describe the system in the macroscopic continuum limit. In this work, we study metric-affine theories with nonmetricity and torsion, which are the gravitational analog of crystalline structures with point defects and dislocations. We consider a crystal-motivated gravitational action and show the presence of topologically nontrivial structures (wormholes) supported by an electromagnetic field. Their existence has important implications for the quantum foam picture and the effective gravitational geometries. We discuss how the dialogue between solid state physics systems and modified gravitational theories can provide useful insights on both sides.

  Title Nonsingular Charged Black Holes A La Palatini Type Journal Article

  Volume (down) 21 Issue 8 Pages 1250067 - 6pp  
  Keywords Extended theories of gravity; Palatini formalism; Planck scale  
  Abstract We argue that the quantum nature of matter and gravity should lead to a discretization of the allowed states of the matter confined in the interior of black holes. To support and illustrate this idea, we consider a quadratic extension of general relativity (GR) formulated a la Palatini and show that nonrotating, electrically charged black holes develop a compact core at the Planck density which is nonsingular if the mass spectrum satisfies a certain discreteness condition. We also find that the area of the core is proportional to the number of charges times the Planck area.
