  1. Geodesic completeness of anisotropic cosmologies and the null energy condition

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Bianchi-I spacetime obeying the null energy condition and expanding in all directions at one time must have past-incomplete null geodesics.

  2. Obstructions to Minimal Regular Black Hole Cosmologies

    gr-qc 2026-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Obstructions from matching conditions and completeness theorems prevent minimal regular black hole models from hosting unbounded FRW daughter cosmologies.

  3. Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the conformal U(1)_X model, the daisy-resummed nucleation scheme shifts LISA-reconstructed gauge couplings by O(10%) relative to the NLO effective-field-theory result, an order of magnitude above the Fisher-matrix ...

  4. Effects of the ekpyrotic mechanism on inflationary phase in loop quantum cosmologies

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In LQC and mLQC-I, tuned ekpyrotic-plus-inflation potentials can yield w>1 at the bounce and at least 60 e-folds of post-bounce inflation.

  5. Thermodynamical uncertainties for primordial black holes from cosmological phase transitions

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A state-of-the-art thermodynamic analysis of supercooled phase transitions yields a universal lower bound β/H_* ≃ 5 and shows that viable PBH dark-matter parameter space in classically conformal gauge-Higgs theories i...

  6. Stable initial conditions and analytical investigations of cosmological perturbations in a modified loop quantum cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A stable initial state is identified in mLQC-I that diagonalizes the Hamiltonian and minimizes particle creation, with mode functions approximated analytically by Airy or cylindrical functions whose constants are fixe...

  7. GRMHD and GRRT Simulations of Black Hole Accretion: Flares, Precession, and Complex Spacetimes

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Simulations of accreting black holes in standard and complex spacetimes indicate that magnetic geometry, quantum corrections, and binary dynamics influence flares, precession, photon rings, and multi-wavelength variab...

  8. Forecast Constraints on Bouncing Cosmology from High Frequency Gravitational Waves Using Superconducting LC Circuits and Resonant Cavities

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper forecasts that resonant-cavity and superconducting-circuit gravitational wave detectors could constrain the bounce energy scale of a generic bouncing cosmology far more tightly than astrophysical observatori...

  9. Astrophysical properties of static black holes embedded in a Dehnen type dark matter halo with the presence of quintessential field

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adding a Dehnen-type dark matter halo and a quintessence field to a Schwarzschild black hole enlarges its shadow and lowers the frequency and damping rate of its quasinormal modes.

  10. Observable thin accretion disk around a self-dual black hole in loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A self-dual loop quantum black hole is shown to look smaller and brighter than Schwarzschild in thin disk models, with the polymer parameter P bounded by Mercury and S2 star data.

  11. Bouncing Cosmology in Interacting Scalar-Torsion Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Two interacting scalar-torsion models are shown, by tuned numerical construction, to host a matter bounce with phantom equation of state and NEC violation at the bounce epoch.
