Population-Level Verification of the Black-Hole Area Law with First- and Second-Generation Black Holes

Shao-Peng Tang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan

Hawking's area theorem states that the total event-horizon area of classical black holes can never decrease. Gravitational-wave tests of this law have so far focused on individual…

Fast Radio Bursts Trace Cosmic Star Formation with Little Delay

Yi-Ying Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan

The progenitor channels of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remain debated, with a central question being whether their cosmic rate traces star formation promptly or instead follows it wit…

Smoking-gun evidence for hierarchical black-hole mergers

Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +1

How stellar-mass black holes grow after their birth is a central open question in astrophysics. Gravitational-wave observations have revealed a subpopulation of coalescing black ho…

A new group of low-spin Black Holes and the high pair-instability mass cutoff

Yuan-Zhu Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Shi-Jie Gao +2

Pair-instability supernovae (PISN) will not leave compact remnants and hence yield a mass gap of the black holes. Though a transition point at , separating low-…

Evidence for the dynamical dark energy with evolving Hubble constant

Yi-Ying Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan

Hubble constant tension, together with the recent indications of dynamical dark energy proposed from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillation (BA…

Aligned Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Active-Galactic-Nuclei Disks Revealed by GWTC-4

Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +1

The active galactic nucleus (AGN) accretion disks are ideal sites for hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers. To robustly probe such a possibility, we analyze binary black hole merge…
