On the geometrical and dynamical distinction between Unimodular and General Relativistic wormholes

Marco Bosquez, Erick Pastén, Mauricio Cataldo +1

We characterize traversable wormholes in Unimodular Gravity (UG) and investigate what distinguishes them from their General Relativistic (GR) counterparts. For a class of static an…

Null Raychaudhuri Equation and the Impossibility of Traversable Wormholes in Unimodular Gravity

Erick Pastén, Marco Bosquez, Norman Cruz

We formulate the traversability of wormhole throats as a local and covariant null defocusing condition derived from the Raychaudhuri equation. Since unimodular gravity preserves th…

Dissipative Unimodular Gravity: Linking Energy Diffusion to Bulk Viscosity as an Alternative to CDM under DESI DR2 Data

Norman Cruz, Esteban González, Guillermo Palma

In this paper, we perform a theoretical and observational study of the presence of viscosity in the Unimodular Gravity formalism, a pioneering approach that, to the best of our kno…

Covariant interpretation of proper infall times in Kerr spacetime

Erick Pasten, Claudia Alvarez, Norman Cruz

We investigate proper infall times in the Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes from a covariant perspective, focusing on the role of black--hole rotation in the focusing properties of…

Exploring thermodynamics inconsistencies in unimodular gravity: a comparative study of two energy diffusion functions

Miguel Cruz, Norman Cruz, Samuel Lepe

In this work we study the thermodynamics formulation for unimodular gravity under the election of two different models for the energy diffusion function. Such function encodes the…

Late time cosmological solutions in gravity in a viscous Universe

Hamid Shabani, Norman Cruz, Amir Hadi Ziaie

Considering the condition on conservation of energy momentum tensor (EMT), we study late time cosmological solutions in the context of gravity (where and …
