These particles decay into two photons, contributing to cosmic background radiation, which may correlate with large-scale structure (LSS). ALPs with a mass around 1 eV decay into monochromatic photons in the near-infrared spectrum, which can be detected by the upcoming SPHEREx mission using line intensity mapping (LIM) technology. To search for ALP signals in SPHEREx, we calculate the cross angular power spectrum between the intensity maps and LSS probes. We employ several LSS probes, including galaxy clustering and weak lensing surveys conducted by the China Space Station Telescope (CSST), as well as CMB lensing performed by CMB-S4. Using a Fisher analysis, we place constraints on the ALP parameters, with uncertainties of <span>(sigma (m_a) = 0.062)</span> and <span>(sigma (g_{agamma gamma }) = 0.19)</span> from the joint surveys. Our results suggest that the current bounds on <span>(g_{agamma gamma })</span> could be improved by an order of magnitude for ALPs in the mass range around 1 eV. The cross-correlation also allows for detection of star formation lines observed by SPHEREx, providing constraints on the amplitude and redshift exponent of their power spectrum with uncertainties of <span>(sigma (A_text {astro}) = 0.004)</span> and <span>(sigma (eta _text {astro}) = 0.004)</span>, respectively. Additionally, we consider intrinsic alignment (IA) as a systematic effect in the weak lensing survey.

A key feature of this theory is its explicit breaking of parity symmetry in the gravitational sector, which is expected to affect the spatial-time component of axisymmetric spacetime. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the chiral scalar–tensor theory on slowly rotating black holes by building on known solutions in the dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity. Using perturbative methods with small coupling and slow rotation approximations, we find that the contributions of the chiral scalar–tensor theory appear at quadratic order in the spin and cubic order in the coupling constants. Furthermore, we explore the properties of this solution in the weak field and check its ergosphere and horizon. In the weak limit, we find that the effects of parity violation are suppressed in the weak field but could become significant in the strong field regime.

Notably, these previous studies have primarily focused on Lorentz-breaking matter on a conventional Rindler wedge. In this work, we demonstrate that considering the complete structure of Lorentz-breaking gravity, specifically the presence of a hypersurface orthogonal æther field, leads to the selection of a new Rindler wedge configuration characterized by a uniformly accelerated æther flow. This uniform acceleration provides a reference scale for comparison with the Lorentz-breaking one, thus ensuring the persistence of the Unruh effect in this context. We establish this by calculating the expected temperature using a Bogolubov approach, and by analyzing the response of a uniformly accelerated detector. We suggest that this resilience of the Unruh effect opens interesting possibilities towards future developments for using it as a tool to constrain Lorentz breaking theories of gravity.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":788,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal C","volume":"85 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjc/s10052-025-14099-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
