Spacetime-curvature induced uncertainty principle: linking the large-structure global effects to the local black hole physics

Abstract

This paper links the advanced formulation of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle, termed the Asymptotic Generalized Extended Uncertainty Principle (AGEUP), to the corpuscular framework to derive the AGEUP-inspired black hole metric. The former incorporates spacetime curvature effects to explore black hole dynamics under quantum gravitational corrections, while the latter is a view that black holes are Bose-Einstein condensates of weakly interacting gravitons. In a particular case, the phenomenological union between the AGEUP with cosmological constant $\Lambda$ to the corpuscular framework enabled a black hole metric that has a scaled mass, which depends on $\Lambda$ and the Planck length $l_{\rm Pl}$. Interesting implications occur, such as the maximum limit for mass $M$ where $\Lambda$ ceases to influence the black hole. Another is the derived value of the modulation factor of the EUP term, $\alpha$, if the large-scale fundamental length is defined solely as the cosmological horizon. Additional analyses were done through the shadow and deflection angle phenomena, deriving constraints on the quantum gravity modulation parameter $\beta$. Constraints from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) are discussed as avenues for verifying AGEUP-related deviations in black hole shadow radius and deflection angles, offering potential observational evidence of quantum gravitational effects at astrophysical scales. The findings suggest that AGEUP could be instrumental in providing hints on the quantum gravity nature of black holes, particularly in high-energy astrophysical contexts. By linking local black hole physics with large-scale curvature effects, AGEUP paves the way for further research at the intersection of quantum gravity and cosmology, with implications for observational astrophysics and the fundamental structure of spacetime.

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.
