Interacting Holographic dark energy with matter creation: A dynamical system analysis

Abstract

An interacting Holographic dark energy (HDE) with different infra-red (IR) cutoffs (Hubble horizon and future event horizon) is investigated in the background dynamics of flat Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker (FLRW) universe where gravitational particle creation effects via different form of particle creation rates (1) $\Gamma=3\beta H$ and (2) $\Gamma=3\alpha H_{0}+3\beta H$ are considered. The created particles are considered to be pressureless Dark Matter (DM) which interacts with the HDE through a phenomenological choice of interaction term $Q=3\gamma H \rho_{m}$. We obtain an analytic solution of the cosmological dynamics with Hubble horizon as IR cutoff when the creation rate is taken as $\Gamma=3 \beta H$. We find that the interacting HDE from the Hubble horizon as the IR cutoff can give the late-time acceleration and non-interacting cannot give. On the other hand, employing the Hubble horizon and the future event as IR cutoffs for the model of HDE does not provide the analytic solution when the creation rate is taken as $\Gamma=3\alpha H_{0}+3\beta H$. We then analyze the model separately using the dynamical systems theory. From the analysis, the model (with Hubble horizon as IR cutoff) provides two sets of critical points. One can give a late-time accelerated universe evolving in quintessence, the cosmological constant, or the phantom era. But, it does not show any matter-dominated era. On the other hand, by applying the future event as an IR cutoff, the model provides the complete evolution of the universe. It also exhibits the late-time scaling attractor gives the possible solution of the coincidence problem. Global dynamics of the model are investigated by defining the appropriate Lyapunov function. Finally, the adiabatic sound speeds of all the models have been calculated and plotted numerically to find the stability of the models.

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.
