Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to obtain a completely new relativistic non-singular model for static, spherically symmetric isotropic celestial compact stars in the $f(R, T)$ gravity scenario. In this regard, we have considered the isotropic Durgapal-V metric {\it ansatz} \cite{dur82} to find the solutions of Einstein's field equations in the framework of $f(R, T)$ gravity. The obtained solutions are analyzed graphically for the compact star {\it Cen X}-3 with mass $M$ = $ 1.49 \pm 0.08 ~ M_\odot$ and radius $R$ = 9.178 $\pm$ 0.13 $km$ \cite{ml11} and numerically for ten well-known different compact stars along with {\it Cen X}-3 corresponding to the different values of coupling constant $\chi$. The reported solutions are singularity-free at the center of the stars, physically well-behaved, and hold the physically stable matter configurations by satisfying all the energy conditions and EoS parameter $\omega(r) \in $ (0, 1), causality condition, adiabatic index $\Gamma(r) > 4/3$. We have also discussed hydrostatic equilibrium through the modified TOV equation to ensure the equilibrium position of the solutions representing matter distributions. Considering the several values of $\chi$ we have examined the impact of this parameter on the proposed solutions that help to make a fruitful comparison of modified $f(R, T)$ gravity to the standard general relativity, and interestingly, we have found that the modified $f(R, T)$ gravity holds long-term stable compact objects than the standard Einstein gravity. All the graphical and numerical results ensure that our reported model is under the physically admissible regime that indicates the acceptability of the model.

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.
