Supercritical Branching Random Walks on Nested Lattices

Elena Yarovaya

In classical models of supercritical continuous-time branching random walks (BRWs) on a -dimensional lattice, the dimension is typically assumed to be fixed. When comparing…

Optical effects of one-sided Kiselev-type quintessence in reflection-asymmetric polymer thin-shell wormholes

Jonathan A. Rebouças, Edson Otoniel

Strong-field rays that traverse a wormhole can carry optical information about an exterior inaccessible to the observer. We investigate this mechanism in a reflection-asymmetric th…

Teleparallel torsion and white dwarf structure in \(f(T)=T+ΞT^2\) gravity

Edson Otoniel, Jonathan A. Reboucas, Iarley P. Lobo

We investigate how quadratic torsion modifies the equilibrium structure of white dwarfs in covariant gravity. Static spherical configurations are calculated with a fi…

Bayesian constraints on quadratic gravity from the ADM mass of white dwarfs

Edson Otoniel, Lucas A. Souza, Jonathan A. Rebouças +1

We calculate static equilibrium sequences for white dwarfs (WDs) in quadratic symmetric teleparallel gravity, f(Q)=Q+alpha Q^2, and perform a Bayesian comparison between the negati…

Modified electron dispersion relations in degenerate white dwarfs

Edson Otoniel, Iarley P. Lobo

We investigate how modified electron dispersion relations affect the structure of cold white dwarfs (WDs). The deformation is introduced only in the degenerate electron equation of…

Junction Conditions, Radial Stability, Thermodynamics, Optical Geometry and Appearance of Polymer-Quintessence Thin-Shell Wormholes

Jonathan A. Rebouças, Edson Otoniel, M. C. Araújo +2

Thin-shell wormholes built from effective black hole geometries are sensitive not only to the lapse function but also to the choice of areal radius. We construct a reflection-symme…

Magnetic pressure anisotropy in ultra-dense white dwarfs: Landau quantization and neutronization effects

Edson Otoniel, Juan M. Z. Pretel, Victor B. T. Alves +2

Strong magnetic fields modify the thermodynamics of white dwarf (WD) matter by quantizing the transverse motion of degenerate electrons into Landau levels and splitting the pressur…
