Abstract

Hawking radiation as a quantum phenomenon is generally attributed to the existence of the event horizon of a black hole. However, we demonstrate in this paper that there is indeed ingoing Hawking-like radiation associated with apparent horizons of the first cosmological black hole solution in the framework of Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG) theory living in the Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background. Such radiation can be attributed also to the cosmological apparent horizon of the FLRW universe and even to the cosmological event horizon of de Sitter spacetime. We see how STVG theory as a good theory for explaining black holes both on local and global scales affect the Hawking effect. Based on semiclassical approximation, we follow Hamilton-Jacobi and Parikh-Wilczek tunneling methods, respectively with and without back-reaction effects. We find out that back-reaction effects make a correlation between the emission modes in Parikh-Wilczek tunneling formalism, which can address the information paradox. We obtain the corresponding Hawking-like temperature as a function of inverse powers of apparent horizons radiuses of the cosmological black hole in STVG theory. We analyze the influence of the STVG parameter associated with a deviation of the STVG theory from General Theory of Relativity (GR) on both apparent horizons and the Hawking-like temperature of the cosmological black hole. We show that increasing the STVG parameter results in appearing the Hawking-like temperature in later cosmic times with some smaller values. Also, we follow the Hamilton-Jacobi approach beyond semiclassical approximation to involve all quantum correction terms in the deduced semiclassical outcomes for the cosmological black hole in the STVG theory.

Complex frequency evolution of direct waves from binary black hole mergers

While no signal originating at a black hole's event horizon can reach future null infinity, information about the horizon and its immediate vicinity can be encoded in asymptotic properties of waves emitted by matter or field perturbations falling toward a growing/forming horizon. Within a response-filtered framework, "direct wave" denotes source-sensitive plunge and remnant-formation information revealed by filtering the black-hole response. Unlike a stationary damped sinusoid with a fixed complex frequency, the direct wave follows the evolving source and has an evolving instantaneous complex frequency tied at late times to the remnant horizon angular velocity $Ω_H$ and surface gravity $κ_H$. Using rational filters, we remove quasinormal modes from numerical-relativity waveforms to study this evolution. Before numerical contamination, trajectories depend on remnant spin: the real frequency evolves toward $2Ω_H$ from above for lower spins ($χ_f\lesssim0.7$) and from below for higher spins ($χ_f\gtrsim0.7$), while the instantaneous decay rate increases, with best-resolved cases approaching the expected value of $3κ_H$. As in particle-plunge results, the horizon-controlled value is approached only at late times, as frame dragging controls near-horizon motion. For $χ_f\sim0.7$ remnants of non-precessing, comparable-mass binaries, the early-time real frequency is close to $2Ω_H$ because the binary orbital frequency transitions smoothly to the remnant horizon frequency. Finite-time deviations therefore carry information about merger/collapse dynamics rather than undermining the horizon connection. Full direct-wave evolution requires numerical-relativity calibration. We further show that approximate pole-zero pairing in the Kerr response motivates a minimal filter set that suppresses quasinormal-mode features while revealing source-trajectory information.

Misinterpreting spin precession as orbital eccentricity in gravitational-wave signals

The increasing scope and breadth of gravitational wave detectors is providing the opportunity to explore new parameters in gravitational-wave astronomy. Eccentricity and spin-precession are two key observables to infer the origin of a gravitational wave (GW) source. The interpretation of GW source parameters can be plagued by degeneracy, such as the well-known degeneracy between mass and spin. As the field has explored new parameters, questions have been raised about possible degeneracies between eccentricity and spin-precession. Although some state-of-the-art models now include these effects individually, models that incorporate spin-precession and eccentricity are only in their infancy. Until models faithfully cover the complete parameter space of compact binary coalescence, our ability to correctly measure the source parameters and infer the formation of the binary is compromised. Here, we present a study of the distinguishability of these two key parameters in heavy binary black hole systems. We study merger-ringdown dominated systems with detector-frame total masses ranging between $200-300M_{\odot}$ and mass ratio ranging between $1-3$. Our work finds that there is indeed a degeneracy between eccentricity and spin-precession; however, it is a highly localized effect. We find that the misidentified eccentricity estimates get worse as the detector-frame total mass increases from $200M_{\odot}$ to $300M_{\odot}$, corresponding to progressively shorter signals in the detector band. Additionally, this misidentification is highly sensitive to the inclination angle of the source system. We provide quantifiable estimates of the potency of this degeneracy in addition to identifying some of the regions of parameter space where this degeneracy exists.

Entropy and stability of an extremally charged Einstein-Born-Infeld thin shell

Spacetimes with a thin shell offer a framework where both the dynamical and the thermodynamical stability of the matter comprising the shell can be consistently studied. In the present work, we consider the dynamical and the thermodynamical stability of a spherical thin shell in Einstein gravity coupled to Born-Infeld electrodynamics. For our construction, we adopt the extremally charged solution of the theory, which gives a closed analytic form for the horizon location that allows for a clear derivation of the corresponding physical quantities of interest. Under this scenario, the dynamical stability conditions under radial perturbations are readily obtained in terms of an effective potential. The equilibrium thermodynamics for such a shell is presented. We find that, despite a non-zero pressure at the shell (unlike the extremally charged Reissner-Nordström counterpart), its entropy is solely characterized as a function of the gravitational radius. We propose a physically suitable \emph{ansatz} for the relevant equations of state in order to obtain a closed expression for the entropy density of the shell. We find that the thermodynamical stability conditions reduce to a single inequality related to exchanges of the charge at the shell, which determines the domain where both dynamical and thermodynamical stable configurations exist.
