Hawking-Page phase transition for pure Lovelock black holes
Nitesh K. Dubey, Sanved Kolekar
We investigate the thermodynamic properties of static, spherically symmetric Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes, focusing on the interplay between characteristic temperatures, as wel…
Time delay as a probe of multiple photon spheres
Kajol Paithankar, Sanved Kolekar
Black hole shadow images are primarily determined by the properties of photon spheres and can exhibit degeneracies across different spherically symmetric spacetime geometries. We s…
Stationary Stars Are Axisymmetric in Higher Curvature Gravity
Nitesh K. Dubey, Sanved Kolekar, Sudipta Sarkar
The final equilibrium stage of stellar evolution can result in either a black hole or a compact object such as a white dwarf or neutron star. In general relativity, both stationary…
Kinematics of Acceleration-Induced Excitations in Confined Quantum Fields
Hemansh Shah, Sanved Kolekar
We investigate quantum field excitations in a rigid cavity that undergoes a transition from inertial motion to uniform acceleration while maintaining constant proper length. By con…
Quantum Field Theory in Successive Rindler Spacetimes
Nitesh K. Dubey, Jaswanth Uppalapati, Sanved Kolekar
We study successive Rindler-like transformations in Minkowski spacetime and the corresponding sequence of vacuum states perceived by observers restricted to respective wedges. Exte…
Memory Effects and Entanglement Dynamics of Finite time Acceleration
Nitesh K. Dubey, Sanved Kolekar
We construct a smooth trajectory in Minkowski spacetime that is inertial in the asymptotic past and future but undergoes approximately uniform acceleration for a finite duration. I…
Isentropic processes for axisymmetric Black Holes
Nitesh K. Dubey, Sanved Kolekar
We demonstrate that the isentropic absorption of a classical charged test particle is classically forbidden for all 3+1 dimensional stationary, non-extremal, axisymmetric black hol…
Harvesting Fermionic Field Entanglement in Schwarzschild Spacetime
Nitesh Kumar Dubey, Sanved Kolekar
We explore entanglement harvesting using two Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors linearly coupled to the scalar density of a massless spin-1/2 field in 1+1 Schwarzschild spacetime. We con…
Photon region boundary for stationary axisymmetric black holes
Prasad Padhye, Kajol Paithankar, Sanved Kolekar
The black hole shadow is fundamentally connected to the structure of light rings and the photon region in the background geometry. We investigate the photon region boundary in a ge…
Wigner distributions in Rindler spacetime and nonvacuum Minkowski states
Nitesh K. Dubey, Sanved Kolekar
In the 1970s, Fulling, Davies, and Unruh demonstrated that the vacuum state perceived by an inertial observer in Minkowski space appears as a thermal bath to a uniformly accelerate…
Black hole shadow and acceleration bounds for spherically symmetric spacetimes
Kajol Paithankar, Sanved Kolekar
We explore an interesting connection between black hole shadow parameters and the acceleration bounds for radial linear uniformly accelerated (LUA) trajectories in static spherical…
The role of Unruh effect in Bremsstrahlung
Kajol Paithankar, Sanved Kolekar
An equivalence is demonstrated, by an explicit first order quantum calculation, between the Minkowski photon emission rate in the inertial frame for an accelerating charge moving o…
Generation of CMB and Cosmological constant via bulk viscosity
Sanved Kolekar, S. Shankaranarayanan, S. M. Chitre
A simple model of uniformly expanding, homogeneous Universe with a bulk viscosity is studied wherein the inflationary density decays due to viscous dissipation during the expansion…
Directional dependence of the Unruh effect for spatially extended detectors
Sanved Kolekar
We analyse the response of a spatially extended direction-dependent local quantum system, a detector, moving on the Rindler trajectory of uniform linear acceleration in Minkowski s…
Rindler horizons in the Schwarzschild spacetime
Kajol Paithankar, Sanved Kolekar
We investigate the past and future Rindler horizons for radial Rindler trajectories in the Schwarzschild spacetime. We assume the Rindler trajectory to be linearly uniformly accele…

Quantum field theory in the Rindler-Rindler spacetime
Sanved Kolekar, T. Padmanabhan
It is well known that Minkowski vacuum appears as a thermal bath in the Rindler spacetime when the modes on the left wedge are traced out. We introduce the concept of a Rindler-Rin…
Indistinguishability of thermal and quantum fluctuations
Sanved Kolekar, T. Padmanabhan
The existence of Davies-Unruh temperature in a uniformly accelerated frame shows that quantum fluctuations of the inertial vacuum state appears as thermal fluctuations in the accel…
Drift, Drag and Brownian motion in the Davies-Unruh bath
Sanved Kolekar, T. Padmanabhan
An interesting feature of the Davies-Unruh effect is that an uniformly accelerated observer sees an isotropic thermal spectrum of particles even though there is a preferred directi…

We study quasi-stationary physical process for black holes within the context of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We show that the Wald entropy of stationary black holes in Lanczos-Lovelo…
