Non-commutativity in Hayward spacetime

In this work, we propose a new black hole solution, namely, a Hayward-like metric incorporating corrections due to non-commutativity by taking into account $\partial_r\wedge\partial_θ$ Moyal twist. We begin by deriving this solution using the non-commutative gauge theory framework. The general properties of the metric are then analyzed, including the event horizon structure and the Kretschmann scalar. Analogous to the standard Hayward solution, the modified black hole remains regular, provided that additional dependence on the angle $θ$. Next, we examine the thermodynamic properties, computing the Hawking temperature, entropy, and heat capacity. From the temperature profile, we verify that there is no physical remnant mass when $T^{(Θ,l)} \to 0$, indicating a complete evaporation process. Quantum radiation is analyzed by considering both bosonic and fermionic particle modes, with an estimation of the particle creation density provided for each case. The effective potential is evaluated perturbatively to accomplish the analysis of quasinormal modes and the time-domain response for scalar perturbations. The study of null geodesics is explored to enable the characterization of the photon sphere and black hole shadows. Additionally, constraints on the shadows are estimated based on EHT (Event Horizon Telescope) data. Furthermore, the Gaussian curvature is determined to assess the stability of critical orbits, followed by an analysis of gravitational lensing using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. Finally, the constraints (bounds) on the parameters $Θ$ (non-commutativity) and $l$ (``Hayward parameter'') are derived based on solar system tests, including the perihelion precession of Mercury, light deflection, and the Shapiro time delay effect.

Experimental Bounds on Deformed Muon Lifetime Dilation

We analyze Planck scale induced modifications of the relativistic time dilation using data from the Muon Storage Ring experiment at CERN. By examining the lifetimes of muons, we establish, for the first time, a constraint on such quantum gravity-inspired deformations using this channel. The magnitude of the effect indicates that the study of cosmic rays is a well suited arena for this scenario. We show, that the spectrum of muons would be significantly affected for particles at the PeV scale. Since this later observation of the effect of time dilation is more indirect compared to a direct lifetime measurement, we encourage to perform a high precision measurement of the muon lifetime as a function of the muon's energy.

Fractional quantum mechanics meets quantum gravity phenomenology

This letter extends previous findings on the modified Schrödinger evolution inspired by quantum gravity phenomenology. By establishing a connection between this approach and fractional quantum mechanics, we provide insights into a potential deep infrared regime of quantum gravity, characterized by the emergence of fractal dimensions, similar to behaviors observed in the deep ultraviolet regime. Additionally, we explore the experimental investigations of this regime using Bose-Einstein condensates. Notably, our analysis reveals a direct implication of this analogy: general experiments probing fractional quantum mechanics may serve as equivalent models of quantum gravity. We identify instances of nonlocal behavior in such systems, suggesting an analogous phenomenon of nonlocality in quantum gravity.

Time Delay in $κ$-Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

Based on deformed translations in the $κ$-anti-de Sitter algebra, we derive a delay in the time of detection between a soft and a hard photon, which are simultaneously emitted at a distant event, to first order in the quantum gravity parameter. In the basis analyzed, the trajectories are undeformed, and the effect depends exclusively on the symmetry properties of the quantum algebra. The time delay depends linearly on the energy of the hard particle and has a sinusoidal dependence on the redshift of the source.

Joule-Thomson expansion for quantum corrected AdS-Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in Kiselev spacetime

In this work we study the inversion temperature associated with the Joule-Thomson expansion from the thermodynamics of AdS-Reissner-Nördstrom black holes. We include quantum corrections in a cosmological fluid that can describe phantom dark matter or quintessence, both in a Kiselev scenario. The description of such physical systems involves numerical solutions and the results are presented as temperature-pressure plots for various values of the parameters of our model. We find non-zero minimum inversion temperatures as well as non-zero minimum pressures depending on the values of those parameters. Completing our study, we also find isenthalpic curves associated with black hole fixed mass processes.

Anti-de Sitter Momentum Space in 3D and 4D Quantum Gravity

There has been strong interest in the possibility that in the quantum-gravity realm momentum space might be curved, mainly focusing, especially for what concerns phenomenological implications, on the case of a de Sitter momentum space. We here take as starting point the known fact that quantum gravity coupled to matter in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions gives rise to an effective picture characterized by a momentum space with anti-de Sitter geometry, and we point out some key properties of $2+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space. We observe that it is impossible to implement all of these properties in theories with a $3+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space, and we then investigate, with the aim of providing guidance to the relevant phenomenology focusing on possible modified laws of conservation of momenta, the implications of giving up, in the $3+1$-dimensional case, some of the properties of the $2+1$-dimensional case.

Modified particle lifetimes as a signature of deformed relativity

We demonstrate a compatibility between the relativity principle and the clock postulate in deformed special relativity, by identifying the relevant deformed Lorentz transformations in position space between arbitrary frames. This result leads to a first-principles correction to the dilated lifetime of fundamental particles. It turns out that these modified time dilations offer a way to scrutinize Lorentz invariance (or deviations thereof) to high precision.

Muon accelerators -- Muon lifetime measurements as window to Planck scale physics

A prominent effective description of particles interacting with the quantum properties of gravity is through modifications of the general relativistic dispersion relation. Such modified dispersion relations lead to modifications in the relativistic time dilation. A perfect probe for this effect, which goes with the particle energy cubed $E^3$ over the quantum gravity scale $E_{\text{QG}}$ and the square of the particle mass $M^2$ would be a very light unstable particle for which one can detect the lifetime in the laboratory as a function of its energy to very high precision. In this article we conjecture that a muon collider or accelerator would be a perfect tool to investigate the existence of an anomalous time dilation, and with it the fundamental structure of spacetime at the Planck scale.

Quantum-spacetime effects on nonrelativistic Schrödinger evolution

The last three decades have witnessed the surge of quantum gravity phenomenology in the ultraviolet regime as exemplified by the Planck-scale accuracy of time-delay measurements from highly energetic astrophysical events. Yet, recent advances in precision measurements and control over quantum phenomena may usher in a new era of low-energy quantum gravity phenomenology. In this study, we investigate relativistic modified dispersion relations (MDRs) in curved spacetime and derive the corresponding nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation using two complementary approaches. First, we take the nonrelativistic limit, and canonically quantise the result. Second, we apply a WKB-like expansion to an MDR-inspired deformed relativistic wave equation. Both approaches imply equivalent results for single-particle quantum mechanics. Based on a map between our approach and the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), we recognise in the latter the MDR which is least amenable to low-energy experiments. Consequently, importing data from time-delay measurements, we constrain the linear GUP up to the Planck scale and improve on current bounds to the quadratic one by 17 orders of magnitude. MDRs with larger implications in the infrared, however, can be tightly constrained in the nonrelativistic regime, from which we use the ensuing deviation from the equivalence principle to bound some MDRs to up to one order of magnitude below the Planck scale, while constraining those customarily associated with the bicrossproduct basis of the $κ$-Poincaré algebra to energy scales beyond $10^{15}$GeV.

Massless Dirac Perturbations in a Consistent Model of Loop Quantum Gravity Black Hole: Quasinormal Modes and Particle Emission Rates

We consider perturbations of the massless Dirac field in the background of a black hole solution found by Bodendorfer, Mele, and Münch (BMM), using a polymerization technique that furnishes contributions inspired by Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) Theory. Using the sixth order WKB method, we analyzed its quasinormal modes for several modes, multipole numbers and the two classes of BMM black holes. We also considered the potential that governs these perturbations to analyze the bound on the Greybody Factor (GF) due the emission rates of particles. As results, we found that the Loop Quantum Gravity parameters are responsible for raising the potential and the real and imaginary parts of the quasinormal frequencies and decrease the bound on the Greybody Factor for the two classes of black holes (with more prominent effects for the de-amplification case, which is compatible with previous analyses done for other fields).

Thermal quantum correlations in two gravitational cat states

We consider the effect of a thermal bath on quantum correlations induced by the gravitational interaction in the weak field limit between two massive cat states, called gravitational cat (gravcat) states. The main goal of this paper is to provide a good understanding of the effects of temperature and several parameters in the entanglement (measured by the concurrence) and quantum coherence (measured by the $l_1$-norm that is defined from the minimal distance between the quantum state and the set of incoherent states) which are derived from the thermal quantum density operator. Our results show that the thermal concurrence and $l_1$-norm can be significantly optimized by increasing the masses or decreasing the distance between them. We investigate and discuss the behavior of these quantities under temperature variations in different regimes, including some that are expected to be experimentally feasible in the future. In particular, we observe that thermal fluctuations raise non-entangled quantum correlations when entanglement suddenly drops.

Quantum Configuration and Phase Spaces: Finsler and Hamilton Geometries

In this paper, we review two approaches that can describe, in a geometrical way, the kinematics of particles that are affected by Planck-scale departures, named Finsler and Hamilton geometries. By relying on maps that connect the spaces of velocities and momenta, we discuss the properties of configuration and phase spaces induced by these two distinct geometries. In particular, we exemplify this approach by considering the so-called $q$-de Sitter-inspired modified dispersion relation as a laboratory for this study. We finalize with some points that we consider as positive and negative ones of each approach for the description of quantum configuration and phases spaces.

Neutron stars in the context of $f$($\mathbb{T}$,$\mathcal{T}$) gravity

In this work, we investigate the existence of neutron stars (NS) in the framework of $f$($\mathbb{T}$,$\mathcal{T}$) gravity, where $\mathbb{T}$ is the torsion tensor and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The hydrostatic equilibrium equations are obtained, however, with $p$ and $ρ$ quantities passed on by effective quantities $\bar{p}$ and $\barρ$, whose mass-radius diagrams are obtained using modern equations of state (EoS) of nuclear matter derived from relativistic mean field models and compared with the ones computed by the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations. Substantial changes in the mass-radius profiles of NS are obtained even for small changes in the free parameter of this modified theory. The results indicate that the use of $f$($\mathbb{T}$,$\mathcal{T}$) gravity in the study of NS provides good results for the masses and radii of some important astrophysical objects, as for example, the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) NGC 6397 and the pulsar of millisecond PSR J0740+6620. In addition, radii results inferred from the Lead Radius EXperiment (PREX-2) can also be described for certain parameter values.

A varying gravitational constant map in asymptotically AdS black hole thermodynamics

We propose a sequence of steps and a generic transformation for connecting common thermodynamic quantities considered in asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hole thermodynamics in the bulk and those that are appropriate for CFT thermodynamics in the boundary. We do this by constructing a "varying-$G$ map", where $G$ is the gravitational constant, and demonstrate its usefulness by considering various examples.

Two-body decays in deformed relativity

Deformed relativistic kinematics is a framework which captures effects, that are expected from particles and fields propagating on a quantum spacetime, effectively. They are formulated in terms of a modified dispersion relation and a modified momentum conservation equation. In this work we use Finsler geometry to formulate deformed relativistic kinematics in terms of particle velocities. The relation between the Finsler geometric velocity dependent formulation and the original momentum dependent formulation allows us to construct deformed Lorentz transformations between arbitrary frames. Moreover, we find the corresponding compatible momentum conservation equation to first order in the Planck scale deformation of special relativity based on the $κ$-Poincaré algebra in the bicrossproduct basis. We find that the deformed Lorentz transformations, as well as the deformed time dilation factor, contain terms that scale with the energy of the particle under consideration to the fourth power. We derive how the distributions of decay products are affected when the deformed relativity principle is satisfied and find, for the case of a pion decaying into a neutrino and a muon, that the ratio of expected neutrinos to muons with a certain energy is just slightly modified when compared to the predictions based on special relativity. We also discuss the phenomenological consequences of this framework for cosmic-ray showers in the atmosphere.

The third law of thermodynamics, non-extensivity, and energy definition in black hole physics

Working in the framework of generalized statistics, the problem of establishing the third law of thermodynamics in the black hole physics is studied by focusing on Schwarzschild black hole which easily and clearly exposes the violation of this law in the common approach based on Bekenstein entropy. Additionally, it is addressed that some inconsistencies between the predictions of quantum field theory and thermodynamics about the black hole temperature may be reconciled by using the thermodynamics laws in order to broaden energy definition. It claims that thermodynamics should be employed as a powerful tool in looking for more comprehensive energy definitions in high-energy physics, still mysterious.

Generalized Rastall's gravity and its effects on compact objects

We present a generalization of Rastall's gravity in which the conservation law of the energy-momentum tensor is altered, and as a result, the trace of the energy-momentum tensor is taken into account together with the Ricci scalar in the expression for the covariant derivative. Afterwards, we obtain the field equations in this theory and solve them by considering a spherically symmetric space-time. We show that the external solution has two possible classes of solutions with spherical symmetry in the vacuum in generalized Rastall's gravity, and we analyse one of them explicitly. The generalization, in contrast to constant value $k=8πG$ in general relativity, has a gravitational parameter $k$ that depends on the Rastall constant $α$. As an application, we perform a careful analysis of the effects of the theory on neutron stars using realistic equations of state (EoS) as input. Our results show that important differences on the profile of neutron stars are obtained within two representatives EoS.
