Abstract

We study the head-on collision of two plane neutrino waves in the coupled Einstein-Weyl system, treating the massless Weyl spinor as an odd Grassmann valued field. We show that the mixed components of the Einstein equations force the two counter propagating waves to be built on a single Grassmann mode, whose bilinear $\varepsilon=ηη^{*}$ is nilpotent. With this structure the full coupled system is solved exactly in the interaction region for arbitrary amplitude and phase profiles, and the metric and spinor fields are matched to the single wave regions by the non-impulsive O'Brien-Synge junction conditions. The metric functions contain no terms coupling the two waves; the Weyl scalar $Ψ_2$ vanishes, and $Ψ_0$, $Ψ_4$ are proportional to the neutrino energy fluxes. The waves therefore traverse each other without mutual scattering; we trace this to the nilpotency of the single mode bilinear. We discuss the limits of this result and indicate where cross couplings can arise.

Shortest-Path Multiplicity Heterogeneity as a Graph Diagnostic for Radial Organization in Sampled Geometries

Shortest-path counts describe how many minimal routes connect a pair of graph vertices, complementing distance alone. We study their heterogeneity within graph-distance shells using C_log(p, r_g), the cube root of the third absolute central moment of log shortest-path multiplicities. This permutation-invariant statistic measures variation across shell targets and does not encode direction by itself. In a Flamm--Schwarzschild case study, its radial profile differs from that of a matched-flat control. The binned statistic has a Pearson correlation of approximately 0.912 with a logarithmic Schwarzschild reference profile, indicating radial-reference agreement rather than reconstruction of continuum curvature. Comparisons across sample sizes and neighbor parameters further describe behavior under the tested graph constructions. Preserved summaries and plotting records support the numerical evidence, although original graph realizations and the definitive execution state were not recovered. These results motivate multiplicity heterogeneity as a graph diagnostic for radial organization, with interpretation conditional on sampling, connectivity and boundary effects.

Horizon-scale intensity and polarization images of rotating Konoplya-Zhidenko black holes with thick accretion flows

We investigate the shadow and polarization images of a Konoplya--Zhidenko rotating non-Kerr black hole surrounded by a geometrically thick and optically thin accretion flow. The accretion flow is described by an analytical ballistic approximation accretion flow model. The numerical results show that the shadow image exhibits two main features, an outer bright ring and an inner dark region. The former corresponds to higher-order images, while the latter is associated with photon capture by the black hole. Increasing the deformation parameter $η$ does not significantly change the overall shape of the higher-order images, but it enlarges their size. Increasing either the spin parameter $a$ or the observer inclination angle $θ_o$ enhances the asymmetry of the higher-order images and makes the intensity on the left side much larger than that on the right side. This behavior is associated with frame dragging and the relativistic Doppler effect. In the polarization images, the degree of linear polarization is much smaller in the higher-order image region than in other regions, and the polarization vectors extend over the whole image plane. Within the framework used in this work, these results illustrate how the spacetime geometry and near-horizon accretion dynamics jointly influence the intensity and polarization images.

Optical Signatures of Black Holes Surrounded by a Generalized Cloud of Strings

In this work, we investigate the optical signatures of black holes surrounded by a generalized cloud of strings, described by the Letelier--Alencar spacetime. We first analyze null geodesics, showing that the string parameters can either increase or decrease the photon sphere radius and the critical impact parameter relative to their Schwarzschild values. Since the spacetime is not asymptotically flat, the critical impact parameter does not directly coincide with the physical shadow radius. We use this distinction to derive constraints on the model parameters from the shadow radius bounds of Sgr A* and M87*. In the weak-field regime, we calculate the light deflection angle using both the Gauss--Bonnet method and a perturbative expansion of the null geodesic equations, obtaining consistent results that contain a contribution from the asymptotically conical geometry in addition to the local gravitational deflection. We also examine the Shapiro time delay and identify a distance dependent contribution associated with the non Minkowskian asymptotic background. Finally, we study the optical appearance of geometrically and optically thin accretion disks and construct celestial sphere images through backward ray tracing. The transfer functions and lensing images show that the generalized cloud of strings modifies the null geodesic mapping in a nonuniform manner rather than producing a simple rescaling of the Schwarzschild image. In particular, configurations with a smaller shadow may still produce an outward displacement of the main Einstein ring image, demonstrating that different optical observables probe distinct aspects of photon propagation in this geometry.
