I use the term “weak imposter” to describe an object which is a black hole, i.e. it has an event horizon, but whose structure and dynamics is governed by a modified gravity theory. At the other end of the spectrum are “strong imposters”: hypothetical horizonless, compact objects conjectured to form instead of black holes during gravitational collapse. To discover or rule-out imposters will require a quantitative understanding of their merger dynamics. This is hampered at present by a dearth of well-posed theoretical frameworks to describe imposters beyond perturbations of Kerr black holes and their general relativistic binary dynamics.

This cosmological model is designed to account for both the inflationary epoch of the early universe and the current phase of accelerated cosmic expansion. The nonlinear electrodynamic fields provide a mechanism for a graceful exit from the inflationary period, preventing the universe from entering an eternal inflation state. The addition of nonminimal coupling plays a crucial role in shaping the early evolution of the universe. We compare the theoretical predictions of our model with recent observational data and other leading cosmological models, showing that our approach provides a viable and competitive explanation for key aspects of the universe’s evolution. Our results suggest that this model offers a consistent and compelling framework to explain both early-time inflation and the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, in line with current observations.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":578,"journal":{"name":"General Relativity and Gravitation","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This function measures the deviation from the benchmark theory, which is recovered as the critical energy density approaches infinity.

These solutions describe evaporating black holes and expanding white holes. We demonstrate a consistent description of accreting black holes based on the ingoing Kerr–Vaidya metric with increasing mass, and show that the model can be extended to cases where the angular momentum to mass ratio varies. For such metrics we describe conditions on their dynamical evolution required to maintain asymptotic flatness.Pathologies are also identified in the evaporating white hole geometry in the form of an intermediate singularity accessible by timelike observers.
