One-dimensional scattering problems are of wide physical interest and are encountered in many diverse applications. In this article I establish some very general bounds for reflection and transmission coefficients for one-dimensional potential scattering. Equivalently, these results may be phrased as general bounds on the Bogolubov coefficients, or statements about the transfer matrix. A similar analysis can be provided for the parametric change of frequency of a harmonic oscillator. A number of specific examples are discussed---in particular I provide a general proof that sharp step function potentials always scatter more effectively than the corresponding smoothed potentials. The analysis also serves to collect together and unify what would otherwise appear to be quite unrelated results.

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new analytical black hole solution in Kalb-Ramond gravity with ModMax electrodynamics is presented, and its perturbative properties (QNMs, greybody factors, Hawking sparsity) are computed in both ordinary and phanto...

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An analytic Schwarzschild-like metric with an exponential dark matter halo is constructed and its shadows, quasi-normal modes, and greybody bounds are computed, though several derived expressions have sign errors.

  3. ModMax black hole surrounded by perfect-fluid dark matter in Lorentz-violating Kalb-Ramond gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Derives static spherically symmetric black hole metric combining ModMax electrodynamics, Lorentz-violating Kalb-Ramond gravity, and perfect-fluid dark matter, then analyzes thermodynamic quantities and stability.

  4. Polymer Black Hole Surrounded by Quintessence

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A polymer black hole with quintessence yields a shadow that can match Sgr A* for many combinations of free parameters while cooling and dimming the black hole.

  5. Greybody Factor for massive scalar field in charged black hole

    gr-qc 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    For a massive scalar field around a charged black hole, the greybody factor falls as the field mass rises, consistent between WKB and rigorous bound methods.
