Accelerating Numerical Relativity Simulations with New Multistep Fourth-Order Runge-Kutta Methods

Lucas Timotheo Sanches, Steven Robert Brandt, Jay Kalinani +2

Many HPC applications that solve differential equations rely on the Runge-Kutta family of methods for time integration. Among these methods, the fourth-order accurate RK4 scheme is…

Spectral Analysis of Quasinormal Modes of Planck Stars

Davide Batic, Denys Dutykh, Fabio Scardigli

We investigate the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of Planck stars within the framework of scale-dependent gravity (SDG). In our setup, the running parameter is fixed to a negative va…

Null integrability and photon phenomenology in the accelerated Schwarzschild black hole

Shokoufe Faraji, Eva Hackmann

Uniformly accelerated black holes provide a controlled setting to isolate how translatory acceleration and conical defects modify photon dynamics and observable optics. We analyse…

Black Hole Chemistry: the first 15 years

Robert B. Mann

The introduction of thermodynamics into gravitational physics began 5 decades ago with the discovery that black holes behave like thermodynamic systems once semiclassical quantum e…

Self-regularized entropy: What does black hole entropy predict for tests of Kerr no-hair theorem?

Shokoufe Faraji, Niayesh Afshordi

We compute the canonical, or brick-wall, entropy of a massless scalar field in a quantum black hole model whose strong field exterior is described phenomenologically by the static…

Sourced Carrollian Fluids Dual to Black Hole Horizons

Sercan Hüsnügil, Luis Lehner

The (degenerate) geometry of event horizons is linked to Carrollian fluids. We investigate the behavior of event horizons via a perturbative coupling to a massless scalar field, ma…

Thermal Fisher information for a rotating BTZ black hole

Everett A. Patterson, Robert B. Mann

Relativistic quantum metrology provides a framework within which we can quantify the quality of measurement and estimation procedures while accounting for both quantum and relativi…

Quenched entanglement harvesting

Adrian Lopez-Raven, Robert B. Mann, Jorma Louko

Ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice, with a sudden position-dependent change (a quench) in the effective dispersion relation, have been proposed by Rodríguez-Laguna et…

The impact of compact object deformation on thin accretion disk properties

Shokoufe Faraji

We investigate the standard relativistic geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disk in the background of a deformed compact object. The main purpose of this work is to d…

Numerical evolution of Maxwell's equations for wavefronts propagating through a spherical gravitational potential

Annamalai P. Shanmugaraj, Erik Schnetter, Sofie Marie Koksbang

We present a scheme for numerically solving Maxwell's equations in a weakly perturbed spacetime without introducing the usual geometric optics approximation. Using this scheme, we…

One-Dimensional Relativistic Self-Gravitating Systems

Robert B. Mann

One of the oldest problems in physics is that of calculating the motion of particles under a specified mutual force: the -body problem. Much is known about this problem if t…

Thermodynamic supercriticality and complex phase diagram for the AdS black hole

Zhen-Ming Xu, Robert B. Mann

In this study, we extend the application of the Lee-Yang phase transition theorem to the realm of AdS black hole thermodynamics, thereby deriving a comprehensive complex phase diag…

How Much NEC Breaking Can the Universe Endure?

Elly Moghtaderi, Brayden R. Hull, Jerome Quintin +1

Quantum fields can notoriously violate the null energy condition (NEC). In a cosmological context, NEC violation can lead to, e.g., dark energy at late times with an equation-of-st…

Complex Riemannian spacetime and singularity-free black holes and cosmology

John W. Moffat

An approach is presented to address singularities in general relativity using a complex Riemannian spacetime extension. We demonstrate how this method can be applied to both black…

Exploring Born-Infeld f(T) teleparallel gravity through accretion disk dynamics

Ruijing Tang, Shokoufe Faraji, Niayesh Afshordi

Teleparallel Born-Infeld gravity (TBI) is a modified theory of gravity that aims to maintain second order field equations, leading to alternative scenarios for strong gravity and c…

Violations of the null convergence condition in kinematical transitions between singular and regular black holes, horizonless compact objects, and bounces

Johanna Borissova, Stefano Liberati, Matt Visser

How do regular black holes evade the Penrose singularity theorem? Various models of stationary regular black holes globally satisfy the null convergence condition (NCC). At first g…
