The space-time structure of an untouchable naked singularity in superstrings theory

Abstract

According to the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture, naked singularities are believed to be forbidden in nature and must remain hidden by an event horizon. In this work, we present the causal structure of an exact solution to the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton equations with five parameters: mass, angular momentum, electric and magnetic charges, and a scale, satisfying constraint equations. For one of the constraints, the solution represents a wormhole (WH), and for the other, a black hole (BH), both with an untouchable ring singularity causally disconnected from the rest of the universe. After topologically defining the concept of Wormhole Cosmic Censorship (WCC), we analyze its metric functions in Papapetrou coordinates to verify metric analyticity in spacetime, construct the Carter-Penrose diagram, and use Boyer-Linquist coordinates to visualize the cladding of the ring singularity by the throat. We conclude that the ring singularity in this WH is clad by the throat, similarly to how the event horizon clads the ring singularity in the Kerr-Newman black hole, thus satisfying the WCC Conjecture. In this work, we show that the topology of the WH throat is such that the two sides of the throat are separated by the singularity but topologically identified, resulting in an instantaneous connection between these two regions. These results are applicable to various theories, including Kaluza-Klein and superstring theory. We provide a rigorous proof that, in the black hole case, the domain of outer communication includes a chronology-violating region and thus supports the existence of closed timelike curves outside the event horizon.

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.
