Loop cosmological dynamics and dualities with Randall-Sundrum braneworlds

Abstract

The discrete quantum geometric effects play an important role in dynamical evolution in the loop quantum cosmology. These effects which are significant at the high energies lead to the quadratic energy density modifications to the Friedmann equation, as in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld scenarios but with a negative sign. We investigate the scalar field dynamics in this scenario and show the existence of a phase of super-inflation independent of the inverse scale factor modifications as found earlier. In this regime the scalar field mimics the dynamics of a phantom field and vice versa. We also find various symmetries between the expanding phase, the contracting phase and the phantom phase in the loop quantum cosmology. We then construct the scaling solutions in the loop quantum cosmology and show their dual relationship with those of the Randall-Sundrum cosmology.

An upper bound on the minimum orbital period of black holes

Previous research has focused on establishing lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of black holes. In this work, we explore the complementary question of whether an upper bound exists for the minimum orbital period of black holes. We investigate the minimum orbital periods of three types of black holes: Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and Kerr-Newman black holes. We find that the minimum orbital period of these black holes is bounded by an upper limit $T_{min} \leqslant 6\sqrt{3}πM$, where $M$ is the black hole mass. Our results suggest that this upper bound on the minimum orbital period may be a general property in black hole spacetimes.

Bounds on the minimum orbital period in the background of 5-dimensional charged black holes

In this paper, we study the upper and lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of 5-dimensional charged black holes. Our results indicate that the upper bound of the minimum orbital period corresponds to non-charged black holes, while the lower bound is achieved in the case of maximally charged black holes. We further establish precise analytical expressions for the upper and lower bounds of the minimum orbital period. Our findings provide valuable insights into 5-dimensional charged black holes and help constrain theoretical gravity models.

Analysis of minimum orbital periods around d-dimensional charged black holes

This paper investigates the bounds on the minimum orbital period for test objects around d-dimensional charged black holes in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We derive the exact critical radius and the minimum orbital period. We then prove analytically that the minimum orbital period decreases strictly as the charge of the black hole increases. Thus, the upper limit is reached for an uncharged black hole, while the lower limit is attained for a maximally charged one, and the two bounds take the closed form $\frac{2π(d-2)}{d-3}[(d-2)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}\leqslant T_{min} \leqslant 2π\sqrt{\frac{d-1}{d-3}}\,[(d-1)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}$. Since the minimum period equals $2π$ times the shadow radius, the upper bound is equivalently a universal upper bound on the shadow radius. These results improve our understanding of dynamics around d-dimensional black holes and impose constraints on candidate gravity theories.
