Abstract

Recent shadow images of Sgr A and M87 captured by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration confirms the existence of black holes or their possible alternatives in the center of galaxies. On the other hand, the new image of Sgr A in polarized light suggests a Magnetic field spiraling at the Edge of the Milky Way Central Black Hole. Due to the gravitational lensing effect, the bending of light in the background geometry of the black hole casts a shadow. In recent years, black holes and their properties have been vastly studied in the framework of General Relativity and other modified theories of gravity. One of the possibilities to generalize GR is Energy Momentum Squared Gravity (EMSG). It is important to mention that EMSG modifies all matter field equations, adding some non linear terms to Maxwell equations. EMSG theory as a modified theory of gravity predicts an asymptotically de Sitter charged black hole whose shadow cast and other related characteristics have not been examined yet. Hence we consider the EMSG charged black hole and investigate the shadow shape of this kind of black hole solution in confrontation with EHT results. In the case of non linear electrodynamics, the path of the photon is null on some effective metric. By deriving the effective metric of an EMSG charged black hole we study the null geodesics of the effective metric in the Hamilton Jacobi method. we find the photon orbits and compute the shadow size of this black hole. Then we examine how electric charge and the coupling constant of the EMSG affect the shadow size of the black hole in a positively accelerated expanding universe (with a positive cosmological constant). We explore the viable values of these parameters constrained by EHT data by comparing the shadow radius of an EMSG charged black hole with the shadow size of Sgr A.

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.
