Abstract

The discovery of the accelerated expansion of the cosmos has sparked great interest in studying the nature of the mysterious force behind this effect, often called dark energy. Several theories were proposed to study the nature of dark energy, and holographic dark energy stands out among them due to the relation between dark energy density and the principles of quantum gravity and holography. Recent progress made in fractional cosmology has led to the addition of fractional correction terms to the definition of holographic dark energy. Based on such progress, in this study, we investigate the behavior of fractional holographic dark energy in forming exotic spacetimes, especially traversable wormholes, which represent intriguing solutions of Einstein's field equations connecting distinct regions of spacetime. In the present article, a new class of Morris--Thorne wormhole solutions is obtained under the consideration of fractional holographic dark energy as the source of the gravitational field with a varying redshift function in the context of Einstein gravity. To study the nature of wormholes, their geometry, viability, and thermodynamic behavior, a shape function is obtained, and the wormholes are analyzed in detail via embedding diagrams, throat geometry, active gravitational mass, compactness, exoticity factor, energy conditions, conservation law, volume integral quantifier, Kretschmann invariant, and complexity factor. Moreover, thermodynamic properties of the wormholes are studied via the examination of several parameters, including Hawking temperature, wormhole temperature, entropy, energy, work density, and heat flux, aiming to understand the influence of fractional holographic corrections on the stability and evolution of traversable wormhole structures.

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.
