For this purpose, the static spherically symmetric as well as perfect fluid distribution are taking into account. To examine the various aspects of some particular compact star models, the Durgapal-Fuloria metric functions are considered. The unknown parameters involved in Durgapal-Fuloria metric functions are computed via matching constraints with observed choices of masses and radii of few particular stellar objects. The viability of the endorsed functions is inspected through the graphical description of matter contents, energy constraints, equation of state factor, mass constituents, causality condition and stellar equation for certain values of Rastall parameter. It is determined that the stars under consideration manifest stable structures corresponding to Durgapal-Fuloria metric potentials in this framework. Further, it is exhibited that for Rastall factor equals to zero, the general results of theory of relativity can be achieved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":578,"journal":{"name":"General Relativity and Gravitation","volume":"56 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142123516","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}

The conventional approach to general relativity is concerned with local fields such as the metric, whereas the NSF focuses on surfaces. The NSF has two distinct but mathematically equivalent interpretations: (a) Future-directed light rays leave a spacetime point and intersect future null-infinity. The resulting surface, known as a light-cone cut, encodes the properties of the spacetime; (b) The angular coordinates (Bondi coordinates) of null-infinity are used to label past light cones, thereby producing a family of null surfaces. These will satisfy the NSF field equations and a solution of these equations provides a description of spacetime.

Compared to the earlier well studied <span>(beta =0)</span> case, the present potential has a rolling down effect due to the <span>(phi ^3)</span> term, along with the usual bounding effect due to the <span>(phi ^4)</span> term.

Using this equation, we consider first the local part of the scalar self energy and compute the rest mass squared of the scalar field, dynamically generated via the late time non-perturbative secular logarithms, by resumming the daisy-like graphs. The logarithms associated here are sub-leading, compared to those associated with the non-local, leading terms. We also argue that unlike the quartic case, considering merely the one loop results for the purpose of resummation does not give us any sensible result here. We next construct the non-perturbative two particle irreducible effective action up to three loop and derive from it the Schwinger–Dyson equation once again. This equation is satisfied by the non-perturbative Feynman propagator. By series expanding this propagator, the resummed local part of the self energy is shown to yield the same dynamical mass as that of the above. We next use this equation to resum the effect of the non-local part of the scalar self energy in the Feynman propagator, and show that even though the perturbatively corrected propagator shows secular growth at late times, there exists one resummed solution which is vanishing for large spacelike separations, in qualitative agreement with the well known result found via the stochastic formalism.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":578,"journal":{"name":"General Relativity and Gravitation","volume":"56 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141986513","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}

We employ a holographic methodology that interprets the cosmological constant and the Newton constant as thermodynamic variables, leading to the derivation of a modified first law of thermodynamics that incorporates the thermodynamic volume and pressure. Our findings reveal that the central charge of the CFT is intrinsically linked to the variation of these constants, and its stability can be ensured by simultaneous adjustment of these constants. We further explore the phase structures of the black holes, utilizing the free energy. Our research uncovers the existence of a critical value of the central charge, beyond which the phase diagram displays a first-order phase transition between small and large black holes. We also delve into the implications of our findings on the complexity of the CFT. Our conclusions underscore the significant role of the central charge in the holographic thermodynamics and phase transition of charged Gauss–Bonnet black holes. Furthermore, we conclude that while the central charge considered provides suitable and satisfactory solutions for this black hole in 4 and 5 dimensions, it becomes necessary to introduce a unique central charge for this structure of modified gravity. In essence, the central charge in holographic thermodynamics is not a universal value and requires modification in accordance with different modified gravities.
