The imprint of the interaction between dark sectors in large scale cosmic microwave background anisotropies

Abstract

Dark energy interacting with dark matter is a promising model to solve the cosmic coincidence problem. We study the signature of such interaction on large scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. Based on the detail analysis in perturbation equations of dark energy and dark matter when they are in interaction, we find that the large scale CMB, especially the late Integrated Sachs Wolfe effect, is a useful tool to measure the coupling between dark sectors. We also discuss the possibility to detect the coupling by cross-correlating CMB maps with tracers of the large scale structure. We finally perform the global fitting to constrain the coupling by using the CMB power spectrum data together with other observational data. We find that in the $1σ$ range, the constrained coupling between dark sectors can solve the coincidence problem.

An upper bound on the minimum orbital period of black holes

Previous research has focused on establishing lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of black holes. In this work, we explore the complementary question of whether an upper bound exists for the minimum orbital period of black holes. We investigate the minimum orbital periods of three types of black holes: Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and Kerr-Newman black holes. We find that the minimum orbital period of these black holes is bounded by an upper limit $T_{min} \leqslant 6\sqrt{3}πM$, where $M$ is the black hole mass. Our results suggest that this upper bound on the minimum orbital period may be a general property in black hole spacetimes.

Bounds on the minimum orbital period in the background of 5-dimensional charged black holes

In this paper, we study the upper and lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of 5-dimensional charged black holes. Our results indicate that the upper bound of the minimum orbital period corresponds to non-charged black holes, while the lower bound is achieved in the case of maximally charged black holes. We further establish precise analytical expressions for the upper and lower bounds of the minimum orbital period. Our findings provide valuable insights into 5-dimensional charged black holes and help constrain theoretical gravity models.

Analysis of minimum orbital periods around d-dimensional charged black holes

This paper investigates the bounds on the minimum orbital period for test objects around d-dimensional charged black holes in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We derive the exact critical radius and the minimum orbital period. We then prove analytically that the minimum orbital period decreases strictly as the charge of the black hole increases. Thus, the upper limit is reached for an uncharged black hole, while the lower limit is attained for a maximally charged one, and the two bounds take the closed form $\frac{2π(d-2)}{d-3}[(d-2)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}\leqslant T_{min} \leqslant 2π\sqrt{\frac{d-1}{d-3}}\,[(d-1)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}$. Since the minimum period equals $2π$ times the shadow radius, the upper bound is equivalently a universal upper bound on the shadow radius. These results improve our understanding of dynamics around d-dimensional black holes and impose constraints on candidate gravity theories.
