Abstract

We present a simple model which generates cosmological anisotropies on top of standard FLRW geometry. This is in some sense reminiscent of the mean field approximation, where the mean field cosmological model under consideration would be the standard FLRW, and the anisotropy is a small perturbative correction on top of it. Using a supergravity-inspired model, we confirm that the stable fixed point of our model corresponds to standard FLRW cosmology. We use a Bianchi VII$_0$-type model supplemented with a scalar and $U(1)$ gauge fields, and we show that the anisotropies of the geometry are generated by the non-trivial interaction between the gravity sector and the $U(1)$ gauge sector. Studying the attractor flow, we show that the anisotropies are present at early times (high redshift) and decay asymptotically to an FLRW attractor fixed point. With such a mechanism, observations of non-isotropy are not contradictory to FLRW geometry or indeed the $Λ$CDM model. Such models could in principle shed some insights on the present cosmological tensions.

Quantum Correlations of Neutrinos in the Kerr-Newman Space-time

Quantum phases establish a connection between gravitation and quantum information, offering a novel avenue for exploring the properties of space-time. In this paper, we investigate the quantum correlations (QCs) of neutrinos in the Kerr--Newman space-time for both zero- and nonzero-angular-momentum propagation. The results show that, for zero-angular-momentum propagation, the oscillation periods of the survival probability and QCs progressively decrease with propagation distance in the inward direction. In the outward direction, increasing $M$ lengthens the oscillation periods of $P_{ν_e\rightarrowν_e}$, entanglement, and the monogamy of nonlocality, whereas increasing the angular momentum $a$ or charge $Q$ shortens them. For nonzero-angular-momentum propagation, the metric parameters also generate local profile modulations through additional two-path interference terms, rather than merely rescaling the oscillation period. Furthermore, we find that, despite differences in their ranges of variation, entanglement and coherence exhibit highly consistent oscillatory behavior in both propagation cases. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of neutrino-based relativistic quantum information.

Tidal Love numbers of wormholes as black-hole mimickers

We study the dynamical scalar tidal Love numbers of wormholes that provide viable mimickers for black holes, focusing on thin-shell Schwarzschild and Damour-Solodukhin geometries. Using a matched near- and far-zone expansion, we determine their tidal response in the low-frequency regime. The presence of a long throat introduces an additional characteristic scale and naturally separates the modes into two classes. Super-throat modes probe the global wormhole geometry and are sensitive to both asymptotic regions, whereas sub-throat modes probe only one side of the wormhole and effectively perceive the throat as a black-hole horizon. We derive the scalar tidal Love numbers analytically for both classes of modes and show that their dissipative parts exhibit distinct low-frequency behavior, reflecting whether one or both potential barriers participate in the scattering process. We further find that, as the wormhole approaches the black-hole limit, the super-throat contribution becomes progressively negligible, while the sub-throat response smoothly reduces to that of a Schwarzschild black hole. These results demonstrate that the tidal response of wormholes depends crucially on whether the perturbation probes the global structure of the throat.

Effective Matter Conversion in Gravitational Collapse and the Dynamical Formation of Regular Black Holes

We study inverse source reconstruction in generalized Vaidya spacetimes. A prescribed density fixes the mass and tangential pressure, while a two-sector decomposition determines a dimensionless radial balance function. We distinguish this function from a time-directed conversion rate and identify the additional null-flux information required for a covariant exchange vector. Positivity restricts the allowed target pressures: a de Sitter core cannot be represented by nonnegative sectors with nonnegative tangential equations of state. An explicit finite-density profile admits a positive vacuum-like completion, finite curvature invariants, and inner and outer trapping horizons above a calculable threshold. Its total source satisfies the null, weak, and dominant energy conditions during monotonic accretion, while the timelike convergence condition fails in the core. We check polytropic, bag-model-inspired, and condensate-inspired profiles and the corresponding cosmological reconstruction. Finally, we compute the stationary endpoint's shadow and compare its exterior deformation with published Sagittarius A* measurements. The construction establishes local curvature regularity and marginal-sphere formation, without claiming a microscopic formation mechanism, perturbative stability, or geodesic completeness.
