Stability Of A Regular Black Holes Thin-Shell Wormhole In Reissner-Nordstrom - De Sitter Space-Time, A. Eid Dec 2019

Stability Of A Regular Black Holes Thin-Shell Wormhole In Reissner-Nordstrom - De Sitter Space-Time, A. Eid

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The dynamics regular black holes thin shell wormhole with a phantom energy equation of state in Reissner-Nordstrom - De sitter space-time is studied using the Darmois-Israel formalism. A mechanical stability analysis is carried out by using the standard perturbation method. The stable and unstable static solution depends on the suitable value of parameters.


Tests Of General Relativity With The Binary Black Hole Signals From The Ligo-Virgo Catalog Gwtc-1, B. P. Abbott, S. Mukherjee Nov 2019

Tests Of General Relativity With The Binary Black Hole Signals From The Ligo-Virgo Catalog Gwtc-1, B. P. Abbott, S. Mukherjee

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations

The detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo provides an opportunity to test general relativity in a regime that is inaccessible to traditional astronomical observations and laboratory tests. We present four tests of the consistency of the data with binary black hole gravitational waveforms predicted by general relativity. One test subtracts the best-fit waveform from the data and checks the consistency of the residual with detector noise. The second test checks the consistency of the low- and high-frequency parts of the observed signals. The third test checks that phenomenological deviations introduced in the waveform model (including in …


Blandford-Znajek Process In Vacuo And Its Holographic Dual, Ted Jacobson, Maria J. Rodriguez Jun 2019

Blandford-Znajek Process In Vacuo And Its Holographic Dual, Ted Jacobson, Maria J. Rodriguez

All Physics Faculty Presentations

Blandford and Znajek discovered a process by which a spinning black hole can transfer rotational energy to a plasma, offering a mechanism for energy and jet emissions from quasars. Here we describe a version of this mechanism that operates with only vacuum electromagnetic fields outside the black hole. The setting, which is not astrophysically realistic, involves either a cylindrical black hole or one that lives in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, and the field is given in simple, closed form for a wide class of metrics. For asymptotically anti–de Sitter black holes in 2+1 dimensions, the holographic dual of this mechanism is …


Optimizing Advanced Ligo's Scientific Output With Fast, Accurate, Clean Calibration, Aaron Daniel Viets May 2019

Optimizing Advanced Ligo's Scientific Output With Fast, Accurate, Clean Calibration, Aaron Daniel Viets

Theses and Dissertations

Since 2015, the direct observation of gravitational waves has opened a new window to observe the universe and made strong-field tests of Einstein's general theory of relativity possible for the first time. During the first two observing runs of the Advanced gravitational-wave detector network, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo detector have made 10 detections of binary black hole mergers and one detection of a binary neutron star merger with a coincident gamma-ray burst. This dissertation discusses methods used in low and high latency to produce Advanced LIGO's calibrated strain data, highlighting improvements to accuracy, latency, and …


General Relativity As A Biconformal Gauge Theory, James Thomas Wheeler Apr 2019

General Relativity As A Biconformal Gauge Theory, James Thomas Wheeler

All Physics Faculty Publications

We consider the conformal group of a space of dim n=p+q, with SO(p,q) metric. The quotient of this group by its homogeneous Weyl subgroup gives a principal fiber bundle with 2n-dim base manifold and Weyl fibers. The Cartan generalization to a curved 2n-dim geometry admits an action functional linear in the curvatures. Because symmetry is maintained between the translations and the special conformal transformations in the construction, these spaces are called biconformal; this same symmetry gives biconformal spaces overlapping structures with double field theories, including manifest T-duality. We establish that biconformal geometry is …


On Memory Effect In Modified Gravity Theories, Ercan Kiliçarslan Jan 2019

On Memory Effect In Modified Gravity Theories, Ercan Kiliçarslan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we discuss the gravitational memory effect in higher derivative and infinite derivative gravity theories and give the detailed relevant calculations whose results were given in our recent works. We show that the memory effect in higher derivative gravity takes the same form as in pure GR at large distances, whereas at small distances, the results are different. We also demonstrate that, in infinite derivative gravity, the memory is reduced via error function as compared to Einstein's gravity. For the lower bound on the mass scale of nonlocality, the memory essentially reproduces the usual GR result at distances …


Gravitational Radiation From Superradiant Instabilities Of Rotating Black Holes, Shrobana Ghosh Jan 2019

Gravitational Radiation From Superradiant Instabilities Of Rotating Black Holes, Shrobana Ghosh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

We use the Teukolsky formalism to calculate the gravitational radiation from a non-axi\-symmetric cloud formed due to superradiant amplification of a spin-0 bosonic field. We focus on the prospects of the future space-based gravitational wave detector, Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), and the current version of ground-based detector, Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (AdLIGO), to detect or constrain scalars with mass in the range $m_s\in [10^{-19},10^{-15}]$ eV and $m_s\in[10^{-14},10^{-11}]$ eV, respectively. Using astrophysical models of black hole populations calibrated to observations we find that, in optimistic scenarios, AdLIGO could detect up to $10^4$ resolvable events in a four-year search if …
