Energy emission from high curvature region and its backreation

Takafumi Kokubu, Sanjay Jhingan, Tomohiro Harada

A strong gravity naked singular region can give important clues towards understanding classical as well as spontaneous nature of General Relativity. We propose here a model for ene…

The essence of the Blandford-Znajek process

Shunichiro Kinoshita, Takahisa Igata

From a spacetime perspective, the dynamics of magnetic field lines of force-free electromagnetic fields can be rewritten into a quite similar form for the dynamics of strings, i.e.…

Short-range test of the universality of gravitational constant at the millimeter scale using a digital image sensor

K. Ninomiya, T. Akiyama, M. Hata +19

The composition dependence of gravitational constant is measured at the millimeter scale to test the weak equivalence principle, which may be violated at short range through ne…

Extended mimetic gravity: Hamiltonian analysis and gradient instabilities

Kazufumi Takahashi, Tsutomu Kobayashi

We propose a novel class of degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories as an extension of mimetic gravity. By performing a noninvertible conformal transformation on "seed" scal…

On the stability of a superspinar

Ken-ichi Nakao, Pankaj S. Joshi, Jun-Qi Guo +5

The superspinar proposed by Gimon and Horava is a rapidly rotating compact entity whose exterior is described by the over-spinning Kerr geometry. The compact entity itself is expec…

Spins of primordial black holes formed in the matter-dominated phase of the Universe

Tomohiro Harada, Chul-Moon Yoo, Kazunori Kohri +1

Angular momentum plays very important roles in the formation of PBHs in the matter-dominated phase if it lasts sufficiently long. In fact, most collapsing masses are bounced back d…
