Abstract

In this paper, we examine the geodesic and thermodynamic properties of a Schwarzschild black hole with a cloud of strings (known as the Letelier black hole) immersed in a King dark matter (KDM) halo under an isotropic configuration. The dynamics of both photons and massive particles are analyzed in detail using the effective potential formalism, including particle trajectories, the photon sphere, black hole shadow, and the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs). Particular emphasis is placed on how the presence of the KDM halo modifies these geometric and dynamical features. Furthermore, we explore the topological characteristics of photon rings by constructing a normalized vector field, following Duan\textquotesingle{}s topological current $\phi$-mapping theory, and demonstrate how this field is influenced by both the string cloud and the KDM halo. In the thermodynamic context, we analyze the impact of the KDM halo and the string cloud on the Hawking temperature, Gibbs free energy, thermal stability, and phase transitions of the black hole. Finally, we examine the thermodynamic topology of the system using a theoretical framework that incorporates a generalized Helmholtz free energy and topological current theory. In both the photon sphere and thermodynamic analyses, we show that the string cloud parameter shifts the location of the zero point of the vector field in the equatorial plane. Specifically, in the photon sphere case, the radius of the photon sphere increases with increasing values of the string cloud parameter, while in the thermodynamic topology, the horizon radius decreases as the string cloud parameter increases.

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.
