We here take as starting point the known fact that quantum gravity coupled to matter in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions gives rise to an effective picture characterized by a momentum space with anti-de Sitter geometry, and we point out some key properties of $2+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space. We observe that it is impossible to implement all of these properties in theories with a $3+1$-dimensional anti-de Sitter momentum space, and we then investigate, with the aim of providing guidance to the relevant phenomenology focusing on possible modified laws of conservation of momenta, the implications of giving up, in the $3+1$-dimensional case, some of the properties of the $2+1$-dimensional case.","PeriodicalId":505126,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140077411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for driving the said accelerated expansion, all such models require a violation of Near Equilibrium Conditions (NEC) associated with the background viscous theory. But recently, it was found that, with the aid of a cosmological constant, it is possible to maintain NEC for the bulk viscous warm dark matter during certain evolutionary epochs of the Universe. Nevertheless, this negated the possibility of having a ‘solely’ viscous-driven late acceleration in Einstein gravity within the NEC limit. In the present study, we investigate a model of the universe composed of mixed dark matter components, with viscous dark matter (vDM), and inviscid cold dark matter (CDM) as its constituents, in the context of R + 2λTvm gravity, and show that the model predicts late acceleration by satisfying NEC, critical energy condition (CEC) and second law of thermodynamics (SLT) throughout the evolution, even in the absence of a cosmological constant. One intriguing feature observed in this model is the possibility of having a negative bulk viscous coefficient and yet satisfying the second law of thermodynamics. Finally, by applying both theoretical and observational constraints on the model parameters, we determined the best-fit values of model parameters and thereby analyzed the evolutionary behavior of some relevant cosmological observables.","PeriodicalId":505126,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140261317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When we study the dynamical black hole formation via the radiation collapse in the radiating Boulware–Deser spacetime in five dimensions, the central zero mass singularity is weak, conical and naked, and the horizon forms only when a finite amount of matter, that depends on the coupling constant of the Gauss–Bonnet term, falls into the central singularity. To understand this phenomenon transparently and geometrically, we study the radiating Boulware–Deser spacetime in five dimensions using a 1+1+3 spacetime decomposition, for the first time. We find that the geometric and thermodynamic quantities can be expressed in terms of the gravitational mass and the Gauss–Bonnet (GB) parameter and separate each of them into their Gauss–Bonnet and matter parts. Drawing comparisons with five dimensional GR at every step, we explicitly show how the mass gap arises for a general mass function M(v) and what functions for M(v) make certain geometrical quantities well defined at the central singularity. We show in the case of self-similar radiation collapse in the modified theory, the central singularity is not a sink for timelike geodesics and is extendable. This clearly demonstrates how the GB invariant affects the nature of the final state of a continual collapse in this modified theory.","PeriodicalId":505126,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140090337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a ruler to test, we use Rastall gravity in the context of background cosmology being a simple extension to general relativity. We compare the results from quasars dataset with other known samples such as cosmic chronometers, supernovae of the Ia type, baryon acoustic oscillations, HII galaxies, and also a joint analysis. Results are consistent with the standard cosmological model emphasizing that Rastall gravity is equivalent to General Relativity. According to the constraints provided from the joint sample, the age of the Universe is τU = 12.601+0.067 −0.066 Gyrs and the transition to an accelerated phase occurs at zT = 0.620 ± 0.025 in the redshift scale, being only the phase transition consistent with the standard paradigm and having a younger Universe. With the quasars sample, the universe age differs with that expected in ΛCDM having a result of τU = 11.958+0.139 −0.109 Gyrs with a transition at zT = 0.652 ± 0.032 this last consistent with standard cosmology. A remarkable result is that quasars constraints has the capability to differentiate among general relativity and Rastall gravity due to the result for the parameter λ = −2.231+0.785 −0.546. Moreover, the parameter j under quasars constraints suggests that the cause of the late universe’s acceleration is a dark energy fluid different from a cosmological constant.","PeriodicalId":505126,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139617661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
