Abstract

This article is devoted to the comparative study of the effects of the Lorentz symmetry violation (LV) arising in Kalb-Ramond (KR) and Bumblebee (BM) field models. We study optical appearance with accretion, Quasinormal modes, ringdown waveforms, Hawking radiation, and weak gravitational lensing. The horizon radius, photon radius, and the critical impact parameter for KR BHs decrease with the LV parameter $\a$. In contrast, they remain independent of the BM parameter $\b$ and have values the same as those for \s BH. We find that a KR BH is brighter than a \s or BM BH for static and infalling accretion. The BM BH, on the other hand, is brighter than a \s BH when the accretion is static but becomes darker for an infalling accretion. Our investigation into quasinormal modes (QNMs) and ringdown waveforms provides deeper insight into the difference in observational imprints of LV parameters. It reveals that GWs emitted by KR BHs have larger frequencies and decay faster than those emitted by \s or BM BHs for scalar and electromagnetic perturbations. We then study the greybody factor (GF) and power emitted for both BHs. The Hawking temperature is higher for a KR BM and lower for a BM BH than a \s BH. It also reveals that the transmission probability decreases with $\a$ and $\b$. A comparison of GFs for KR and BM BHs reveals that the transmission probability is higher for BM BH. We also study the effect of LV on the power emitted in the form of Hawking radiation. Power received by an asymptotic observer is larger for a KR BH. We obtain higher-order corrections in the deflection angle and graphically illustrate the impact of $\a$ and $\b$. We observe that a light ray gets deflected most from its path when passing by a \s BH, and the deflection is least when it passes by a KR BH. Our study conclusively shows that we can differentiate between KR and BM BHs based on astrophysical observations.

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.
