Cosmological Implications of $f(R,Σ, T)$ Gravity: A Unified Approach Using OHD and SN Ia Data

Abstract

This paper investigates the cosmological implications of the modified gravity framework known as $f(R,Σ, T)$ gravity, focusing on its potential to unify and extend current cosmological models. The theory, introduced by Bakry and Ibraheem in 2023, combines the Ricci scalar, a scalar parameter representing torsion or other geometric properties, and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. By analyzing observational Hubble data (OHD) and the Pantheon compilation of Type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia), we explore how this framework provides the accelerated expansion of the universe, the nature of dark energy, and phenomena like the Big Rip singularity. Employing the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and solving the modified field equations, we derive key cosmological parameters such as the Hubble constant and matter energy density parameter. These parameters are constrained through statistical analysis of observational data, yielding and from OHD, and and from SN Ia. The evolution of the equation of state (EoS) parameter, isotropic pressure, and energy density is also investigated. By considering energy conditions and stability criteria, the study highlights the viability of gravity as an alternative framework to General Relativity and models. Our findings affirm the model's compatibility with current observational evidence and its potential to the universe's past and future dynamics.

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.

Dynamical tidal response of neutron stars: From effective field theory to gravitational waveforms

We investigate the fully relativistic dynamical tidal response of neutron stars up to second order in the frequency. Combining the worldline effective field theory for extended gravitating bodies with perturbation theory of relativistic stellar models, we derive the tidal deformation induced by an external time-dependent field, including a universal logarithmic running term. In the effective theory, we work in dimensional regularization and, through a consistent matching procedure, obtain for the first time the complete leading-order dynamical tidal corrections to both the conservative dynamics and the gravitational-wave signal of compact binaries, including the scheme-dependent finite terms in addition to the running. We show that, in the relativistic regime, dynamical effects cannot be fully captured by mode excitations alone. The magnitude of the additional contribution depends on the stellar compactness, the equation of state, and the running term. Dynamical Love numbers are significantly enhanced with respect to their static counterparts for relatively small compactness. As a result, although they formally enter the gravitational-wave phase at eighth post-Newtonian order, dynamical tidal effects yield a nonnegligible contribution during the late inspiral. Using a Fisher-matrix analysis, we show that third-generation detectors such as the Einstein Telescope could measure dynamical Love numbers for a range of neutron-star masses and equations of state. Conversely, neglecting these effects can lead to significant biases in the inference of static Love numbers, and hence on the nuclear equation of state. Our results highlight the importance of dynamical tidal effects for high-precision gravitational-wave modeling with future detectors.

Probing quantum chaos near a wormhole throat with a circular string

We investigate whether quantum fluctuations of a circular probe string develop a quantum-chaotic response while traversing a wormhole throat. The classical circular-string embedding is periodic and radially stable, but its two physical transverse polarizations experience time-dependent tidal potentials. Expanding the world-sheet action to quadratic order, we canonically quantize these modes and construct out-of-time-ordered correlator(OTOC) amplitudes from their unequal-time commutators. For the Ellis--Bronnikov wormhole, both polarizations exhibit finite intervals of approximately exponential OTOC growth associated with the first throat passage. The corresponding dimensionless rate measured with respect to physical time is positive over the parameter range studied and generally decreases as the probe energy is increased relative to the throat scale. In the global-monopole extension, increasing the solid-angle deficit narrows the band of locally amplifiable modes and suppresses the extracted rates; a sufficiently strong defect can nearly quench the radial signal, while the angular channel retains a polarization-dependent non-monotonic structure when the energy-to-throat-scale ratio is small. These quantities characterize finite-time dynamical sensitivity in the Gaussian fluctuation sector and should not be identified with asymptotic many-body chaos or a thermodynamic phase transition. Although the numerical analysis uses two representative wormhole geometries, the construction depends only on covariant world-sheet fluctuations and real-time commutators. It therefore provides a transferable, non-holographic framework for applying quantum-chaos diagnostics directly to quantum probes in curved spacetimes.
