Abstract

We present a comprehensive theoretical framework for multi-messenger signatures arising from quantum-corrected gravitational collapse within an extended Ashtekar-Olmedo-Singh (AOS) loop quantum gravity model incorporating perturbative asymmetries. By developing a consistent perturbation theory for non-spherical modes on the quantum-corrected spherically symmetric background, we resolve the fundamental tension between spherical symmetry assumptions and gravitational wave emission requirements. Our analysis demonstrates that quantum geometric effects naturally seed asymmetric perturbations during the bounce phase, leading to observable gravitational wave bursts with mass-dependent frequencies in the range $f_{\rm gw} \sim 10^{-3}$--$10^{3}$ Hz and distinctive electromagnetic counterparts via quantum field effects in curved spacetime. Through self-consistent calculations based on the effective AOS framework, we compute the coupling between quantum bounce dynamics and perturbative modes, yielding gravitational wave strains $h \sim 10^{-23}$--$10^{-21}$ at 100 Mpc for primordial black holes with masses $M \sim 1$--$100$ $M_{\odot}$. The electromagnetic emission mechanism is analyzed through detailed calculations of dynamic Casimir effects and coherent field amplification in time-dependent quantum geometry. Our parameter sensitivity analysis reveals detection prospects that are critically dependent on primordial black hole abundance constraints, with realistic event rates of $\mc{R} \sim 10^{-3}$--$10^{-1}$ yr$^{-1}$ within current observational limits. These results provide testable predictions for quantum gravity theories while extending previous work beyond spherical symmetry assumptions.

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.
