Abstract

A phenomenological model of an ideal fluid with a scalar charge is formulated, on the basis of which a model with a neutral fluid and a vacuum-field model with rules of transition between them are constructed. A qualitative analysis of the obtained dynamic systems is carried out and numerical cosmological models based on these systems are constructed. A mathematical model of plane longitudinal scalar-gravitational perturbations of the Friedmann ideal charged fluid with Higgs interaction is formulated. It is shown that in the absence of fluid, i.e., in the vacuum-field model, gravitational perturbations do not arise. Perturbations of the scalar field are possible only in those cases when in the unperturbed state the cosmological system is at singular points. For these cases, exact solutions of the field equation are found, expressed in Bessel functions of the first and second kind and describing damped oscillations in the case of a stable unperturbed state and growing oscillations in the case of an unstable unperturbed state. The WKB theory of plane scalar-gravitational perturbations is constructed: dispersion equations are obtained in general form and solved for a neutral fluid. In this case, expressions are obtained for the local frequency and growth increment of oscillations, as well as the integral increment. It is shown that only free wave regimes or growing standing oscillations are possible during the evolution. Perturbations in the WKB approximation in a neutral fluid are studied and it is shown that local formulas for the evolution of perturbations correspond to the model of the 1985 article by M.Yu. The times of the beginning and end of the instability phase are determined and it is shown that instability can develop only at the unstable inflationary stage of the expansion of the Universe.

Electrovacuum Black Hole Uniqueness

We prove the black hole uniqueness conjecture in the axially symmetric, stationary, electrovacuum setting, subject to the refined asymptotic analysis of the associated singular harmonic maps, which includes an analyticity hypothesis at the axes. More precisely, it is shown that any asymptotically flat solution of the Einstein--Maxwell equations in this class, with more than one black hole horizon component is either: Majumdar--Papapetrou, up to a duality rotation, in which case all logarithmic angle defects vanish, or every finite axis rod logarithmic angle defect is strictly negative and hence every interaction force is strictly attractive. The proof extends the singular harmonic map method used for vacuum Kerr uniqueness in [18].

Constraining Modified Mass-to-Horizon Cosmology Through Primordial Inflationary Observables

We investigate slow-roll inflation in a modified cosmological framework inspired by a generalized mass-to-horizon relation (MHR), $M=\gamma {c^2 L^n}/{G}$, where $n$ is a real parameter and $\gamma$ a dimensional constant. Using Padmanabhan's emergence paradigm, we derive the modified Friedmann equations for a flat FRW universe and analyze the dynamics of a canonical scalar field (inflaton) under the slow-roll approximation. We study the resulting inflationary phenomenology for power-law and Starobinsky potentials. For power-law potentials, the MHR modification fails to reconcile these models with current CMB constraints on $r$ and $n_s$. In contrast, Starobinsky inflation exhibits significant sensitivity to deviations from $n=1$. A perturbative analysis ($n=1+\Delta$) yields corrections to inflationary observables. We observe that the scalar power-spectrum normalization, under a fixed-Starobinsky prescription, imposes the stringent constraint $0.960 \lesssim n \lesssim 1.040$ for $N=60$ efolds. This is considerably tighter than spectral-index bounds. Our results establish inflation, particularly Starobinsky-like models, as a sensitive probe of generalized horizon thermodynamics and departures from standard MHR scaling.

Improving the Sensitivity of Gravitational Wave Detection with Weighted Conformal Prediction

In the last decade, kilometre-scale interferometric gravitational-wave detectors have observed hundreds of compact binary mergers, the majority of which are binary black holes. However, the data are noise-dominated, and multiple independent search algorithms (pipelines) are used to enhance sensitivity and improve robustness. Rather than the standard approach of selecting the most significant pipeline output, we combine the outputs from all pipelines using a conformal prediction-based framework to provide statistically rigorous confidence estimates for candidate events. While combining pipelines improves sensitivity and ranking robustness, it requires a principled statistical framework that remains valid as data properties evolve across observing runs. A key challenge is distribution shifts between simulated datasets used for training and calibration and the real, unlabelled, observations used for testing, which can invalidate coverage guarantees and bias confidence estimates. In this work, we address this challenge by incorporating likelihood-ratio reweighting into our conformal prediction framework to account for covariate shift. Using mock datasets containing simulated signals, we demonstrate that weighted conformal prediction restores well-calibrated coverage under covariate shift and increases the confidence of events near the detection threshold, recovering true signals that would otherwise be missed.
