The Spectroscopy of Kerr-Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion: Exact Quasibound States, Scalar Cloud, Horizon's Boson Statistics and Superradiance

Abstract

In the present study, we investigate the quasibound states, scalar cloud and superradiance of relativistic scalar fields bound to a rotating black hole in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion theory (Kerr-EMDA). We present the exact eigensolutions of the governing Klein-Gordon equation in the black hole background. By imposing boundary conditions on the quasibound states, we are able to find the exact complex quasibound state frequencies of the corresponding radial wave functions in terms of the confluent Heun polynomial. Considering light scalar field limit of the obtained solution, we investigate the scalar-black hole resonance configuration known as the scalar cloud. In addition, we obtain analytic relation between light scalar mass and black hole spin for scalar cloud. We explore a boson distribution function by linearly expanding the radial wave function near the black hole's event horizon. Moreover, by applying the Damour-Ruffini method, this allows us to calculate the Hawking radiation flux. In the final section, we consider propagating wave in a slowly rotating Kerr-EMDA black hole for bosons having much larger Compton wavelength comparing to the size of rotating black hole. This condition allows us to use the asymptotic matching technique to calculate the amplification factor for scalar fields in the Kerr-EMDA black hole. We present the dependence of amplification factor on black hole parameters by graphical analysis.

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.
