Abstract

Harmonic cosmology is an algebraic framework based on the $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ Lie algebra that underlies the effective dynamics of loop quantum cosmology and group field theory. Focusing on the multimode bosonic realization of $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$, we construct multimode squeezed states in harmonic cosmology and analyze their semiclassical properties by computing the relative uncertainties of the volume operator at the kinematical level. In contrast to single-mode squeezed vacua, which invariably exhibit large quantum fluctuations, we find that the relative uncertainty of the volume can be made arbitrarily small when the number of modes is large, even without displacement. Our results demonstrate that a kinematical squeezed vacuum state with a large number of independent modes can behave semiclassically providing insights into the quantum nature of bouncing cosmologies and the emergence of a classical universe.

Physical properties of compact star-like systems harboring traversable wormholes: Effects of chaotic magnetic fields and anisotropic matter

In this paper, we formulate exotic compact objects in form of compact star-like systems harboring traversable wormhole (CSSTW) supported by two scalar fields, allowing for both chaotic magnetic field and pressure anisotropy of the neutron fluid. The wormhole is traversable regardless of whether anisotropy of the neutron fluid and/or magnetic fields are included. In particular, the null energy condition (NEC) remains violated in the vicinity of the wormhole throat, ensuring the traversable nature of the geometry. The Kretschmann scalars for all considered configurations show that the entire spacetime is regular. The temporal metric functions for all considered configurations show that there are no horizons in any of the considered cases. For magnetized configurations, the resulting CSSTW can become extremely massive, with ADM masses exceeding $8\,M_\odot$, and can exhibit large surface redshifts exceeding $\mathcal{Z} \simeq 1.5$. The system can also reach the ultracompact regime, which allows us to calculate echo time that might be produced the systems. Our calculations of the echo time indicate that it can vary depending on the chaotic magnetic field configuration and fluid anisotropy. For non-magnetized configurations, the gravitational-wave echo time is of the order of $10^{-2}-10^{-1}$ ms. For the magnetized configurations, however, it ranges from the order of $10^{-1}$ $μ$s $-10^{-1}$ ms, suggesting that magnetic fields broaden the range of echo time. Moreover, to investigate the direct impact of the magnetic field on the echo time, we derive an explicit expression for the echo time as a function of uniform magnetic field. The resulting relation shows that the echo time decreases as the magnetic field strength increases. The stability analysis of radial perturbations shows that all considered configurations with a surface magnetic field of $B_s=10^{15}$~G are stable.

A unified framework for photon and massive particle hypersurfaces in stationary spacetimes

Massive particle surfaces (MPS), introduced by Kobialko, Bogush and Gal'tsov, are timelike hypersurfaces confining the trajectories of charged massive particles with fixed Killing energy and charge-to-mass ratio, in analogy with the photon surfaces of Claudel, Virbhadra and Ellis. We study both classes in standard stationary spacetimes within a unified Finslerian framework. For Killing-invariant hypersurfaces $\mathbb{R}\times S_0$, with $S_0$ a hypersurface of a spacelike slice $S$, we prove that photon hypersurfaces and MPS are exactly those for which $S_0$ is totally geodesic with respect to the Fermat metric and to a Jacobi--Randers metric on $S$, respectively. For MPS we also give a gauge-invariant version, in terms of a Riemannian Jacobi metric and a tangency condition on the reduced magnetic field. For arbitrary timelike hypersurfaces, we give a coordinate-free formulation of the partial umbilicity characterization of MPS and, in dimension at least four and under a natural energy condition, we characterize when an MPS is quasi-umbilical in the sense of B.-Y. Chen. In the Som--Raychaudhuri spacetime of a rigidly rotating charged dust we exhibit MPS which are neither photon hypersurfaces nor quasi-umbilical. Finally, under completeness assumptions on the Jacobi--Randers metric, we prove existence and multiplicity results for proper-time parametrized solutions of the Lorentz force equation connecting a point to a flow line of the Killing field and, under compactness assumptions, existence of solutions with periodic spatial projection, possibly confined to an MPS.

Deep Learning Search for Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescence

Gravitational-wave searches rely on a combination of methods, including matched filtering, coherent analyses, and more recent machine-learning-based pipelines. For compact binary coalescences --- where signals originate from the relativistic dynamics of compact objects --- matched filtering remains a central element, but its computational cost will increase substantially with the data volumes and parameter-space coverage required by next-generation interferometers such as the Einstein Telescope. Developing complementary strategies that reduce computational load while preserving detection performance is therefore essential. We investigate a hybrid approach that combines matched-filtering concepts with Convolutional Neural Networks, enabling efficient signal searches without relying on the usual $χ^2$ rejection test. Using simulated data sets that include injected signals in Gaussian noise, transient noise, and physical effects not represented in the template bank --- such as eccentricity, precession and higher-order modes --- we show that the method achieves a detection efficiency comparable to or better than a standard matched-filtering search while offering a more resource-efficient pipeline in all the cases where the physics included in the signals were not represented in the template bank or when glitches were affecting the data. Conversely, the analysis also reveals some loss of detection capability for standard BNS/BBH searches in pure Gaussian noise. These results indicate that deep-learning-assisted searches can support sustainable gravitational-wave data analysis in future detector eras.
