Thermodynamic analysis of shift-symmetric black-hole spacetimes in Horndeski gravity

Athanasios Bakopoulos, Thanasis Karakasis

In this study, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of shift symmetric Horndeski and beyond Horndeski theories (theories in which only derivatives of the scalar field appear…

Theoretical filters for shift-symmetric Horndeski gravities

Athanasios Bakopoulos, Christos Charmousis, Nikos Chatzifotis +1

We investigate the structure of nontrivial maximally symmetric vacua and compact-object solutions in shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theories. Focusing on Horndeski gravity, we deriv…

The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics

Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533

The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…

To stealth or not to stealth: Thermodynamics of stealth black holes

Athanasios Bakopoulos, Thanasis Karakasis, Eleftherios Papantonopoulos

Using Euclidean methods we investigate the thermodynamics of stealth black hole solutions, which are solutions that geometrically are indistinguishable from those of general relati…

Thermodynamics of black holes featuring primary scalar hair

Athanasios Bakopoulos, Nikos Chatzifotis, Thanasis Karakasis

In this work, we embark on the thermodynamic investigation concerning a family of primary charged black holes within the context of shift and parity symmetric Beyond Horndeski grav…
