Abstract

We investigate the kinetic properties of collisionless Vlasov gas in Kerr-Newman spacetime, analyzing how spacetime symmetries constrain the distribution functions. The distribution function is shown to depend on the constants of motion ($m, E, L_z, L$) and a configuration variable $Q^{3}$. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the different scenarios of charged particles being captured or scattered by the black hole in Kerr-Newman spacetime, and analytically derive the boundaries of the absorption and scattering domains in phase space. Within the Locally Non-Rotating Frame, we compute particle number density, energy density, principal pressures, and construct a set of diagnostic parameters to quantitatively measure the anisotropy information of the Vlasov gas (relative to a perfect fluid), and provide the analytic results of these physical quantities at spatial infinity. In addition, we discuss the accretion rates of the Kerr-Newman black hole and obtain their analytic expressions. Numerical results for the relative (normalized) mass and energy accretion rates reveal an identical parametric dependence: both are suppressed as the black hole's rotation $a$ and charge $Q$ increase. Conversely, the absolute value of the normalized angular momentum accretion rate (which is negative) increases with $a$, and $Q$ also moderately influences the angular momentum accretion rate through its effect on spacetime geometry. Accretion of weakly charged plasma drives charged black holes toward electrical neutrality while reducing angular momentum, ultimately favoring evolution toward Schwarzschild configurations. These findings provide new insights into kinetic accretion processes in spacetime geometries.

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.
