Tuning A Rotating Black Hole Spectrum with Dark Matter Halo: Quasibound States, Scalar Cloud, Black Hole Bomb and Superradiant Scattering

Abstract

We investigate the spectral dynamics of a rotating black hole embedded in a Dehnen $(1,4,\gamma)$ dark matter halo, where quasibound states and superradiant scattering jointly characterize the physical response of the system. Starting from an exact Schwarzschild--Dehnen solution, we construct its rotating counterpart via the Newman--Janis algorithm, yielding a consistent axisymmetric geometry that incorporates the influence of a structured halo. The Dehnen profile, through its inner slope parameter $\gamma$, introduces a controlled deformation of both the near-horizon and asymptotic regions of the spacetime. Using the analytical asymptotic matching method, we derive the quasibound-state spectrum and show that the real part of the frequency retains a hydrogen-like structure, but is systematically shifted by the halo through the effective mass scale $\rho_0 r_0^3/(\gamma-3)$. In particular, denser, more extended, and more cuspy halos enhance the binding energy, lower the critical mass required for the onset of instability, and typically suppress the growth rate of the black hole bomb. In the scattering sector, we obtain an analytic expression for the superradiant amplification factor and find that the same halo properties that strengthen binding effects also tend to narrow the superradiant window. These results demonstrate that quasibound states and superradiant scattering are complementary manifestations of a unified spectral structure, with the Dehnen halo acting as an environmental tuner that imprints its properties directly onto both the resonance spectrum and the energy-extraction channels of the rotating black hole.

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.
