Abstract

To address the singularity problem in black hole physics, Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture . However, whether this conjecture holds in different types of black holes, especially for the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (SCCC), remains an issue worth further exploration. This study investigates the Yang-Mills field modified RN black hole, which provides new possibilities for exploring the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture due to its unique nonlinear dynamical properties. In this work, the perturbation equations of two scalar fields for the Yang-Mills field modified RN black hole are derived. By combining the WKB method and the Prony method, the quasi-normal modes frequencies of the perturbations are analyzed. Additionally, constraints on the charge-to-mass ratio of the charged and massive scalar field are obtained using the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC), and it is shown that the Yang-Mills field modified RN black hole satisfies the SCCC conditions in the extreme state. The study reveals that the Yang-Mills field charge $q_{YM}$ significantly affects the damping effect and gravitational blueshift effect of the perturbations, causing the RN black hole in the extreme state to transition from violating the SCCC to satisfying it. Furthermore, when the charge-to-mass ratio $q/m$ of the charged and massive scalar field satisfies the WGC condition, the scalar field perturbations destabilize the Cauchy horizon of the Yang-Mills field modified RN black hole in the extreme state, thus confirming the applicability of the SCCC under extreme conditions. This study highlights the key role of nonlinear fields in singularity theory and gravitational dynamics, providing important support for the completeness of general relativity and offering new insights into the theoretical research of black holes in extreme states.

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.
