PDM Klein-Gordon particles in G\"odel-type Som-Raychaudhuri cosmic string spacetime background

Abstract

In G\"odel-type Som-Raychaudhuri (SR) cosmic string spacetime background, we re-cycle the Klein-Gordon (KG) oscillators and report their correct exact solutions. We argue that the mathematical collapse of the KG-equation into the 2-dimensional radial Schr\"odinger-like oscillator does not yield that the parametric characterizations of one is inherited by the other. The angular frequency (positive) in the Schr\"odinger case is replaced by an irrational frequency-like (positive and negative) in the KG-case. Inheriting the Schr\"odinger oscillator's parametric characterizations implies that at least half of the spectra (the negative part) is lost in the process. We also introduce KG-oscillators in pseudo-G\"odel SR-type spacetime that admit invariance and isospectrality with those in G\"odel SR-type spacetime background. We introduce position-dependent mass (PDM) settings to KG-particles in 4-vector and scalar Lorentz potentials in magnetic field in the G\"odel SR-type spacetime background. Four illustrative examples of fundamental nature are discussed and their exact or conditionally exact solvability are reported. Amongst are, a PDM KG-Coulombic particle in 4-vector and scalar Coulombic Lorentz potentials in magnetic field, a PDM KG-Coulombic particle in 4-vector and scalar Coulombic Lorentz potentials in magnetic field at zero vorticity, a PDM KG-Coulombic particle in equally mixed 4-vector and scalar Coulombic Lorentz potentials in magnetic field, and a quasi-free PDM KG-oscillator. We also emphasis that the biconfluent Heun polynomial approach, to the effective oscillator plus Cornell type potential, yields conditionally exact solvability that paralyzes the solution from collapsing into that of pure Coulombic one.

Electrovacuum Black Hole Uniqueness

We prove the black hole uniqueness conjecture in the axially symmetric, stationary, electrovacuum setting, subject to the refined asymptotic analysis of the associated singular harmonic maps, which includes an analyticity hypothesis at the axes. More precisely, it is shown that any asymptotically flat solution of the Einstein--Maxwell equations in this class, with more than one black hole horizon component is either: Majumdar--Papapetrou, up to a duality rotation, in which case all logarithmic angle defects vanish, or every finite axis rod logarithmic angle defect is strictly negative and hence every interaction force is strictly attractive. The proof extends the singular harmonic map method used for vacuum Kerr uniqueness in [18].

Constraining Modified Mass-to-Horizon Cosmology Through Primordial Inflationary Observables

We investigate slow-roll inflation in a modified cosmological framework inspired by a generalized mass-to-horizon relation (MHR), $M=\gamma {c^2 L^n}/{G}$, where $n$ is a real parameter and $\gamma$ a dimensional constant. Using Padmanabhan's emergence paradigm, we derive the modified Friedmann equations for a flat FRW universe and analyze the dynamics of a canonical scalar field (inflaton) under the slow-roll approximation. We study the resulting inflationary phenomenology for power-law and Starobinsky potentials. For power-law potentials, the MHR modification fails to reconcile these models with current CMB constraints on $r$ and $n_s$. In contrast, Starobinsky inflation exhibits significant sensitivity to deviations from $n=1$. A perturbative analysis ($n=1+\Delta$) yields corrections to inflationary observables. We observe that the scalar power-spectrum normalization, under a fixed-Starobinsky prescription, imposes the stringent constraint $0.960 \lesssim n \lesssim 1.040$ for $N=60$ efolds. This is considerably tighter than spectral-index bounds. Our results establish inflation, particularly Starobinsky-like models, as a sensitive probe of generalized horizon thermodynamics and departures from standard MHR scaling.

Improving the Sensitivity of Gravitational Wave Detection with Weighted Conformal Prediction

In the last decade, kilometre-scale interferometric gravitational-wave detectors have observed hundreds of compact binary mergers, the majority of which are binary black holes. However, the data are noise-dominated, and multiple independent search algorithms (pipelines) are used to enhance sensitivity and improve robustness. Rather than the standard approach of selecting the most significant pipeline output, we combine the outputs from all pipelines using a conformal prediction-based framework to provide statistically rigorous confidence estimates for candidate events. While combining pipelines improves sensitivity and ranking robustness, it requires a principled statistical framework that remains valid as data properties evolve across observing runs. A key challenge is distribution shifts between simulated datasets used for training and calibration and the real, unlabelled, observations used for testing, which can invalidate coverage guarantees and bias confidence estimates. In this work, we address this challenge by incorporating likelihood-ratio reweighting into our conformal prediction framework to account for covariate shift. Using mock datasets containing simulated signals, we demonstrate that weighted conformal prediction restores well-calibrated coverage under covariate shift and increases the confidence of events near the detection threshold, recovering true signals that would otherwise be missed.
