Noncommutative geometry-inspired wormholes supported by quasi-de Sitter and Chaplygin-like equations of state

We construct static, spherically symmetric wormhole solutions with a nontrivial redshift function, inspired by noncommutative geometry, in which point sources are replaced by Gaussian smearing of minimal length, yielding a regular shape function. Within this framework, we derive model-independent relations that isolate the role of the redshift function in controlling the stress-energy components and the violation of the null energy condition (NEC). Negative or suitably tuned redshifts confine the exotic matter to a thin neighborhood of the throat. We then reformulate this redshift engineering in matter terms through a quasi-de Sitter equation of state (EOS) with localized Gaussian or Lorentzian perturbations, obtaining minimally exotic wormholes that are regular, horizon-free, and asymptotically flat. Finally, we extend the analysis to a Chaplygin-like EOS, introducing a nonlinear coupling between pressure and density that yields redshift wells with possible local blueshift regions and tunable anisotropies governed by a certain nonlinearity parameter. Together, these results provide a unified and physically transparent framework for constructing traversable noncommutative-geometry-inspired wormholes with controlled, spatially localized exotic matter content.

A comment on singular and non-singular black holes using the Gaussian distribution

In this work, we join the controversial discussion on singular and non-singular black holes using the Gaussian distribution. Our result which uses correct boundary conditions shifts the debate in favour of regular black holes at the centre. The present findings add new insights into the ongoing discussions surrounding singularities in black hole solutions of the Einstein equations.

Axisymmetric Solutions to Einstein Field Equations via Integral Transforms

In this paper, we present new axisymmetric and reflection symmetric vacuum solutions to the Einstein field equations. They are obtained using the Hankel integral transform method and all three solutions exhibit naked singularities. Our results further reinforce the importance and special character of axisymmetric solutions in general relativity and highlight the role of integral transforms methods in solving complex problems in this field. We compare our results to already existing solutions which exhibit the same type of singularities. In this context we notice that most known axial-symmetric solutions possess naked singularities. A discussion of characteristic features of the newly found metrics, e.g., blueshift and the geometry of the singularities, is given.

Emergence of the Gambier equation in cosmology

We show how the Gambier equation arises in connection to Friedmann-Lema$\mbox{\^{i}}$tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology and a Dark Matter equation of state. Moreover, we provide a correspondence between the Friedmann equations and the Gambier equations that possess the Painlev$\acute{\mbox{e}}$ property in $2+1$ dimensions. We also consider special cases of the Gambier G27 equation such as the generalized Pinney equation. For an extended FLRW model with dynamic scalar field as matter model, the Einstein equations correspond to the Milne-Pinney equation which in turn can be mapped to the parametric Gambier equation of second order.

Optical properties of null geodesics emerging from dynamical systems

We study optical metrics via null geodesics as a central force system, deduce the related Binet equation and apply the analysis to certain solutions of Einstein's equations with and without spherical symmetry. A general formula for the deflection angle in the weak lensing regime for the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini (ST) metric is derived. In addition, we obtain a new weak lensing formula for the deflection angle on the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole (BH). We also explore the bending of light by considering the gravitational objects described by the Tomimatsu-Sato (TS) metric.

Coulomb Law in the Non-Uniform Euler-Heisenberg Theory

We consider the non-linear classical field theory which results from adding to the Maxwell's Lagrangian the contributions from the weak-field Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian and a non-uniform part which involves derivatives of the electric and magnetic fields. We focus on the electrostatic case where the magnetic field is set to zero, and we derive the modified Gauss law, resulting in a higher order differential equation. This equation gives the electric field produced by stationary charges in the higher order non-linear electrodynamics. Specializing for the case of a point charge, we investigate the solutions of the modified Gauss law and calculate the correction to the Coulomb law.

Light bending in a two black hole metric

We discuss the propagation of light in the C-metric. We discover that null geodesics admit circular orbits only for a certain family of orbital cones. Explicit analytic formulae are derived for the orbital radius and the corresponding opening angle fixing the cone. Furthermore, we prove that these orbits based on a saddle point in the effective potential are Jacobi unstable. This completes the stability analysis done in previous literature and allows us to probe into the light bending in a two black hole metric. More precisely, by constructing a suitable tetrad in the Newmann-Penrose formalism, we show that light propagation in this geometry is shear-free, irrotational, and a light beam passing by a C-black hole undergoes a focussing process. An exact analytic formula for the compression factor $\theta$ is derived and discussed. Furthermore, we study the weak and strong gravitational lensing when both the observer and the light ray belong to the aforementioned family of invariant cones. In particular, we obtain formulae allowing to calculate the deflection angle in the weak and strong gravitational lensing regimes.

Quantum Mechanical Corrections to the Schwarzschild Black Hole Metric

Motivated by quantum mechanical corrections to the Newtonian potential, which can be translated into an $\hbar$-correction to the $g_{00}$ component of the Schwarzschild metric, we construct a quantum mechanically corrected metric assuming $-g_{00}=g^{rr}$. We show how the Bekenstein black hole entropy $S$ receives its logarithmic contribution provided the quantum mechanical corrections to the metric are negative. In this case the standard horizon at the Schwarzschild radius $r_S$ increases by small terms proportional to $\hbar$ and a remnant of the order of Planck mass emerges. We contrast these results with a positive correction to the metric which, apart from a corrected Schwarzschild horizon, leads to a new purely quantum mechanical horizon.

The Dirac equation in the Kerr-de Sitter metric

We consider a fermion in the presence of a rotating black hole immersed in a universe with positive cosmological constant. After deriving new formulae for the event, Cauchy and cosmological horizons we adopt the Carter tetrad to separate the aforementioned equation into a radial and angular equation. We show how the Chandrasekhar ansatz leads to the construction of a symmetry operator that can be interpreted as the square root of the squared total angular momentum operator. Furthermore, we prove that the the spectrum of the angular operator is discrete and consists of simple eigenvalues and by means of the functional Bethe ansatz method we also derive a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the angular operator to have polynomial solutions. Finally, we show that there exist no bound states for the Dirac equation in the non-extreme case.

Potentials of the Heun class: the triconfluent case

Since the advent of quantum mechanics different approaches to find analytical solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation have been successfully developed. Here we follow and generalize the approach pioneered by Natanzon and others by which the Schr\"odinger equations can be transformed into another well-known equation for transcendental function (e.g., the hypergeometric equation). This sets a class of potentials for which this transformation is possible. Our generalization consists in finding potentials allowing the transformation of the Schr\"odinger equation into a triconfluent Heun equation. We find the energy eigenvalues of this class of potentials, the eigenfunction and the exact superpartners.

Light on curved backgrounds

We consider the motion of light on different spacetime manifolds by calculating the deflection angle, lensing properties and by probing into the possibility of bound states. The metrics in which we examine the light motion include, among other, a general relativistic Dark Matter metric, a dirty Black Hole and a Worm Hole metric, the last two inspired by non-commutative geometry. The lensing in a Holographic Screen metric is discussed in detail. We study also the bending of light around naked singularities like, e.g., the Janis-Newman-Winicour metric and include other cases. A generic property of light behaviour in these exotic metrics is pointed out. For the standard metric like the Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter cases we improve the accuracy of the lensing results for the weak and strong regime.

Orbiting phenomena in black hole scattering

Rainbow, glory and orbiting scattering are usually described by the properties of the classical deflection function related to the real part of the quantum mechanical scattering phase shift or by the diffractive pattern of the quantum mechanical cross sections. Here we show that the case of orbiting scattering of massless spin 0, 1 and 2 particles from Schwarzschild black holes can be characterized by a sudden rise in $|R_l|^2$ at a critical angular momentum $l_C$, which we show corresponds to the unstable circular orbits of these particles. For the cases, $s =0, 2$, we attempt a new interpretation of the Regge-Wheeler potential by identifying the quantum mechanical corrections to the effective potential of massless particles. We probe into the black hole scattering by using numerical and semi-analytical methods which give very good agreements with the exact numerical results. The limitations of previously used approximations as compared to the exact and semi-analytical results are discussed.

On Born approximation in black hole scattering

A massless field propagating on spherically symmetric black hole metrics such as the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter backgrounds is considered. In particular, explicit formulae in terms of transcendental functions for the scattering of massless scalar particles off black holes are derived within a Born approximation. It is shown that the conditions on the existence of the Born integral forbid a straightforward extraction of the quasi normal modes using the Born approximation for the scattering amplitude. Such a method has been used in literature. We suggest a novel, well defined method, to extract the large imaginary part of quasinormal modes via the Coulomb-like phase shift. Furthermore, we compare the numerically evaluated exact scattering amplitude with the Born one to find that the approximation is not very useful for the scattering of massless scalar, electromagnetic as well as gravitational waves from black holes.

Comment on "Quasinormal modes in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime: A simple derivation of the level spacing of the frequencies"

It is shown here that the extraction of quasinormal modes (QNMs) within the first Born approximation of the scattering amplitude is mathematically not well founded. Indeed, the constraints on the existence of the scattering amplitude integral lead to inequalities for the imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies. For instance, in the Schwarzschild case, $0 \leq ω_I < κ$ (where $κ$ is the surface gravity at the horizon) invalidates the poles deduced from the first Born approximation method, namely, $ω_n = i n κ$.

On the existence of certain axisymmetric interior metrics

One of the effects of noncommutative coordinate operators is that the delta-function connected to the quantum mechanical amplitude between states sharp to the position operator gets smeared by a Gaussian distribution. Although this is not the full account of effects of noncommutativity, this effect is in particular important, as it removes the point singularities of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m solutions. In this context, it seems to be of some importance to probe also into ring-like singularities which appear in the Kerr case. In particular, starting with an anisotropic energy-momentum tensor and a general axisymmetric ansatz of the metric together with an arbitrary mass distribution (e.g. Gaussian) we derive the full set of Einstein equations that the Noncommutative Geometry inspired Kerr solution should satisfy. Using these equations we prove two theorems regarding the existence of certain Kerr metrics inspired by Noncommutative Geometry.

The repulsive nature of naked singularities from the point of view of Quantum Mechanics

We use the Dirac equation coupled to a background metric to examine what happens to quantum mechanical observables like the probability density and the radial current in the vicinity of a naked singularity of the Reissner-Nordström type. We find that the wave function of the Dirac particle is regular in the point of the singularity. We show that the probability density is exactly zero at the singularity reflecting quantum-mechanically the repulsive nature of the naked singularity. Furthermore, the surface integral of the radial current over a sphere in the vicinity of the naked singularity turns out to be also zero.

Velocity and velocity bounds in static spherically symmetric metrics

We find simple expressions for velocity of massless particles in dependence of the distance $r$ in Schwarzschild coordinates. For massive particles these expressions put an upper bound for the velocity. Our results apply to static spherically symmetric metrics. We use these results to calculate the velocity for different cases: Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild-de Sitter and Reissner-Nordström with and without the cosmological constant. We emphasize the differences between the behavior of the velocity in the different metrics and find that in cases with naked singularity there exists always a region where the massless particle moves with a velocity bigger than the velocity of light in vacuum. In the case of Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter we completely characterize the radial velocity and the metric in an algebraic way. We contrast the case of classical naked singularities with naked singularities emerging from metric inspired by noncommutative geometry where the radial velocity never exceeds one. Furthermore, we solve the Einstein equations for a constant and polytropic density profile and calculate the radial velocity of a photon moving in spaces with interior metric. The polytropic case of radial velocity displays an unexpected variation bounded by a local minimum and maximum.

Maximal extension of the Schwarzschild spacetime inspired by noncommutative geometry

We derive a transformation of the noncommutative geometry inspired Schwarzschild solution into new coordinates such that the apparent unphysical singularities of the metric are removed. Moreover, we give the maximal singularity-free atlas for the manifold with the metric under consideration. This atlas reveals many new features e.g. it turns out to describe an infinite lattice of asymptotically flat universes connected by black hole tunnels.
