Testing Statistical Isotropy in the FRB Sky Distribution: A Selection-Function-Aware Framework
Bruno W. N. Ribeiro, Thais Lemos, Carlos A. P. Bengaly +5
We perform a test of statistical isotropy in the Universe using the sky distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs), based on a compilation of events detected by multiple surve…
Generalist Vision-Language Models for Fast Radio Burst detection: a zero-shot benchmark against a specialized detector
Raiff H. Santos, Amilcar R. Queiroz, Tharcisyo S. S. Duarte +2
Fast Radio Burst (FRB) detection increasingly relies on specialized deep learning models that require large task-specific training sets and cannot be redefined without retraining.…
Constraints on Dark Energy and Modified Gravity Models from Fast Radio Bursts and Late-Time Geometric Probes
Bruno W. N. Ribeiro, Lázaro L. Sales, Klécio. E. L. de Farias +3
We investigate the impact of 104 localized FRBs on cosmological parameter estimation when combined with three established late-time probes: Cosmic Chronometers (CC), Type Ia Supern…
Lorentz-violating modifications to particle dynamics, thermodynamics and vacuum energy in bumblebee gravity
A. A. Araújo Filho, K. E. L. de Farias, E. Passos +5
We investigate how spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking in bumblebee gravity modifies particle dynamics, thermodynamics, and vacuum energy around a static black hole background. S…
Neutrino oscillations in a Kalb-Ramond black hole background
Yuxuan Shi, A. A. Araújo Filho, K. E. L. de Farias +2
The analysis examines how neutrinos behave when their trajectories unfold around a black hole sourced by a Kalb-Ramond field, where spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking reshapes t…
