We study some aspects of a class of non-AdS holography where the 3d bulk gravity is given by Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity (GMMG). We consider the spacelike warped $AdS_3$ ($WAdS_3$) black hole solution of this model where the 2d dual boundary theory is the warped conformal field theory (WFCT). The charge algebra of the isometries in the bulk and the charge algebra of the vacuum symmetries at the boundary are compatible and this is an evidence for the duality conjecture. Further evidence for this duality is the equality of entanglement entropy and modular Hamiltonian on both sides of the duality. So we consider the modular Hamiltonian for the single interval at the boundary in associated to the modular flow generators of the vacuum. We calculate the gravitational charge in associated to the asymptotic Killing vectors that preserve the metric boundary conditions. Assuming the first law of the entanglement entropy to be true, we introduce the matching conditions between the variables in two side of the duality and we find equality of the modular Hamiltonian variations and the gravitational charge variations in two sides of the duality. According to the results of the present paper we can say with more sure that the dual theory of the warped $AdS3$ black hole solution of GMMG is a Warped CFT., 23 pages.

In this paper, we study a constant-roll inflationary model in the context of brane-world cosmology caused by a quintessence scalar field for warm inflation with a constant dissipative parameter [Formula: see text]. We determine the analytical solution for the Friedmann equation coupled to the equation of motion of the scalar field. The evolution of the primordial scalar and tensor perturbations is also studied using the modified Langevin equation. To check the viability of the model, we use numerical approaches and plot some figures. Our results for the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio show good consistency with observations.

Previously we have studied the Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity (GMMG) in asymptotically $AdS_3$ background, and have shown that the theory is free of negative-energy bulk modes. Also we have shown GMMG avoids the aforementioned bulk-boundary unitarity clash. Here instead of $AdS_3$ space we consider asymptotically flat space, and study this model in the flat limit. The dual field theory of GMMG in the flat limit is a $BMS_3$ invariant field theory, dubbed (BMSFT) and we have BMS algebra asymptotically instead of Virasoro algebra. In fact here we present an evidence for this claim. Entanglement entropy of GMMG is calculated in the background in the flat null infinity. Our evidence for mentioned claim is the result for entanglement entropy in filed theory side and in the bulk (in the gravity side). At first using Cardy formula and Rindler transformation, we calculate entanglement entropy of BMSFT in three different cases. Zero temperature on the plane and on the cylinder, and non-zero temperature case. Then we obtain the entanglement entropy in the bulk. Our results in gravity side are exactly in agreement with field theory calculations., 17 pages, reference and paragraphs added

We study the generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) in Compere, Song and Strominger boundary conditions employing a semi-product of a Virasoro and a $\hat{u}(1)$ Kac-Moody current algebras as the asymptotic symmetry algebra. We calculate the entropy of BTZ black holes via the degeneracy of states belonging to a Warped-CFT. We compute the linearized energy excitations by using the representations of the algebra $\hat{u}(1) \times SL(2,R)_R$ and show that energies of excitations are non-negative at (two) chiral points in the parameter space. At these special points, the charge algebra is described by either Virasoro algebra or Kac-Moody algebra. We also consider some special limits of the GMMG theory which correspond to $2+1$-dimensional massive gravity theories such as new massive and minimal massive gravity theories., Comment: 10 pages, references added, published in Phys. Rev. D

We study a single field inflationary model modified by a non-minimal coupling term between the Ricci scalar $R$ and the scalar field $\varphi$ in the context of constant-roll inflation. The first-order formalism is used to analyse the constant-roll inflation instead of the standard methods used in the literature. In principle, the formalism considers two functions of the scalar field, $W=W(\varphi)$ and $Z=Z(\varphi)$, which lead to the reduction of the equations of motion to first-order differential equations. The approach can be applied to a wide range of cosmological situations since it directly relates the function $W$ with Hubble parameter $H$. We perform the inflationary analysis for power-law and exponential couplings, separately. Then, we investigate the features of constant-roll potentials as inflationary potentials. Finally, we compare the inflationary parameters of the models with the observations of CMB anisotropies in view of realize a physically motivated model., Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, Accepted for publication in Int.

In this paper we present the generalization of Chern-Simons-like theories of gravity (CSLTG) to spin-3. We propose a Lagrangian describing the spin-3 fields coupled to Chern-Simons-like theories of gravity. Then we obtain conserved charges of these theories by using a quasi-local formalism. We find a general formula for entropy of black holes solutions of Spin-3 CSLTG. As an example, we apply our formalism to the spin-3 Generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) model. We analysis this model at linearized level and show that this model propagate two massive spin-2 modes and two massive spin-3 modes. We find no-ghost and no-tachyon conditions, which can be satisfy in the parameter space of the model. Then we find energy, angular momentum and entropy of a special black hole solution of this model.

In this paper, we present a method to reconstruct cosmographic parameters, $$\{q,j,s,l\}$$ {q,j,s,l} and their evolution from particular cosmological models. In this method inspired by dynamical system approach, we convert the equation of the cosmological model into an equivalent system of first order differential equations which is much easier to solve numerically. Then, we reproduce the cosmographic parameters in terms of these variables. Instead of best fitting the cosmographic parameters with observation directly, we best fit and estimate the parameters and initial conditions of the model by observational, then the cosmographic parameters will be constrained automatically. The advantage of this method is that, it is free of some of shortcomings reconstructing theories with higher-order derivatives. It also enable us to measure not only the current value of cosmographic parameters $$\{q_{0},j_{0},s_{0},l_{0}\}$$ {q0,j0,s0,l0} the past values, $$\{q_{i},j_{i},s_{i},l_{i}\}$$ {qi,ji,si,li} , future values $$\{q_{f},j_{f},s_{f},l_{f}\}$$ {qf,jf,sf,lf} and their evolution. This can be a useful tool to test, compare and distinguish different cosmological models according to the reconstructed cosmographic parameters at different epoch of the universe.

This article is devoted to static spherically symmetric black hole solutions of dRGT (de Rham–Gabadadze–Tolley) massive gravity in the presence of cosmological constant. The unitary and non-unitary gauges are used to find the solutions in three, four and five dimensions. We show that there are two general classes of solutions. In one of them, the effect of massive potential is appeared as the effective cosmological constant. By investigating these solutions in different dimensions, we find an expression for effective cosmological constant in arbitrary dimensions.

We present approximate analytical solutions of the Klein–Gordon equation with arbitrary l state for the Manning–Rosen potential using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method and adopting the approximation scheme for the centrifugal term. We provide the bound state energy spectrum and the wave function in terms of the hypergeometric functions.

Constant-roll warm inflation is introduced in this work. A novel approach to finding an exact solution for Friedman equations coupled to scalar field equation of motion is presented for cold inflation and is extended to warm inflation with the constant dissipative parameter $Q=\frac{\Gamma}{3H}$. The evolution of the primordial inhomogeneities of a scalar field in a thermal bath is also studied. The $1\sigma$ consistency between the theoretical predictions of the model and observational constraints has been proven for a range of $Q$ and $\beta=\frac{\ddot{\phi}}{3H\phi}$ (constant rate of inflaton roll). In addition, we briefly investigate the possible enhancement of super-horizon perturbations beyond the slow-roll approximation., Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures, published version

We have studied constant-roll inflation using the q-de Sitter scale factor. Both the cold and warm inflation have been considered, and the scalar potential and inflaton field have been determined. Also tensor to scalar ratio and the spectral index are obtained. In the cold inflation case, the perturbations have been investigated using Mukhanov–Sasaki equation, and the results determined for the spectral index and tensor to scalar ration are consistent with observations. In the warm inflation two cases of constant damping ([Formula: see text]) and the field dependent damping ([Formula: see text]) have been studied. In both cases the power spectrum and the tensor to scalar ratio are determined as a function of the inflaton field. It has been shown that in both cases the spectral index is independent of the inflaton field. In the case of constant damping the obtained value for the spectral index is inconsistent with observations but for the case of field dependent damping the parameter [Formula: see text] can be chosen such that the value obtained for all the physical quantities including the spectral index be consistent with present cosmological observations.

In the present work, we consider the non-minimal coupling inflationary model in the context of the constant-roll idea which is investigated by the first-order formalism. We attempt to find the hidden symmetries behind the model by the Lie symmetry method. We supply this aim by using the symmetry features of the Heun function instead of Killing vector approach. We show that the hidden symmetries of the non-minimal constant-roll inflation in the cases of power-law and exponential couplings are characterized as a generalized form of s l ( 2 , R ) and s u ( 1 , 1 ) algebra

The explicit form of the field equations has been obtained by varying the action of the four-dimensional Einstein-dilaton gravity in the presence of the scalar-coupled exponential nonlinear electrodynamics. The exact black hole solutions of the field equations have been obtained in an energy-dependent spherically symmetric geometry. It has been found that the solution of the scalar field equation can be obtained by combining two Liouville potentials. We have introduced three types of exponentially charged dilatonic black holes and their thermodynamic properties have been studied noting the effects of rainbow functions. The impacts of rainbow functions on the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the new black hole solutions have been explored. Through the Smarr mass formula, it has been demonstrated that the first law of black hole thermodynamics remains valid for either of the new rainbow black hole solutions. The quantum gravitational effects on the thermodynamic phase transition or thermal stability of the black holes have been studied by use of the canonical ensemble method. By calculating the black hole heat capacity, the type-1 and type-2 phase transition points and the conditions under which the exponentially charged rainbow black holes are locally stable have been identified.

In this paper we obtain conserved charges of spin-3 topologically massive gravity by using a quasi-local formalism. We find a general formula to calculate conserved charge of the spin-3 topologically massive gravity which corresponds to a Killing vector field $\xi$. We show that this general formula reduces to the previous one for the ordinary spin-3 gravity presented in \cite{31} when we take into account only transformation under diffeomorphism, without considering generalized Lorentz gauge transformation (i.e. $\lambda _{\xi} =0$), and by taking $\frac{1}{\mu}\rightarrow 0$. Then we obtain a general formula for the entropy of black hole solutions of the spin-3 topologically massive gravity. Finally we apply our formalism to calculate energy, angular momentum and entropy of a special black hole solution and we find that obtained results are consistent with previous results in the limiting cases. Moreover our result for energy, angular momentum and entropy are consistent with the first law of black hole mechanics., Comment: 24 pages

The Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity (CSLTG) are formulated at first order formalism. In this formalism, the derivation of the entropy of a black hole on bifurcation surface, as a quasi-local conserved charge is problematic. In this paper we overcome these problems by considering the concept of total variation and the Lorentz–Lie derivative. We firstly find an expression for the ADT conserved current in the context of the CSLTG which is based on the concept of the Killing vector fields. Then, we generalize it to be conserved for all diffeomorphism generators. Thus, we can extract an off-shell conserved charge for any vector field which generates a diffeomorphism. The formalism presented here is based on the concept of quasi-local conserved charges which are off-shell. The charges can be calculated on any codimension two space-like surface surrounding a black hole and the results are independent of the chosen surface. By using the off-shell quasi-local conserved charge, we investigate the Virasoro algebra and find a formula to calculate the central extension term. We apply the formalism to the BTZ black hole solution in the context of the Einstein gravity and the Generalized massive gravity, then we find the eigenvalues of their Virasoro generators as well as the corresponding central charges. Eventually, we calculate the entropy of the BTZ black hole by the Cardy formula and we show that the result exactly matches the one obtained by the concept of the off-shell conserved charges.

Recently it has been speculated that a set of infinitesimal [Formula: see text] diffeomorphisms exist which act nontrivially on the horizon of some black holes such as Kerr and Kerr–Newman black holes.[Formula: see text] Having applied this symmetry in covariant phase space formalism, one can obtain Virasoro charges as surface integrals on the horizon. Kerr–Bolt space–time is well known for its asymptotically topology and has been studied widely in recent years. In this work, we are interested to find conserved charge associated to the Virasoro symmetry of Kerr–Bolt geometry using covariant phase space formalism. We will show right and left central charge are [Formula: see text], respectively. Our results also show good agreement with Kerr space–time in the limiting behavior.

In this paper, we obtain the effect of backreaction on the scale factor of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) and de Sitter spaces. We consider a non-minimally coupled massive scalar field to the curvature scalar. For our purpose, we use the results of vacuum expectation values of energy–momentum tensor, which have been obtained previously. By substituting the quantum energy density into the Friedmann equation, we obtain the linear order perturbation of the scale factor. So, the effect of backreaction leads to the new scale factor.

In this paper, we study the problem of massless particle creation in a flat, homogeneous and isotropic universe in the framework of $f(G)$ gravity. The Bogolyubov coefficients are calculated for the accelerating power-law solutions of the model in a matter dominated universe, from which the total number of created particle per unit volume of space can be obtained. It is proved that the total particle density always has a finite value. Therefore, the Bogolyubov transformations are well-defined and the Hilbert spaces spanned by the vacuum states at different times are unitarily equivalent. We find that the particles with small values of the mode $k$ are produced in the past and particles with large values of $k$ are produced only in the future. The negative pressure resulting from the gravitational particle creation is also determined. It is then argued that this pressure even in the presence of energy density and thermal pressure may affect significantly the cosmic expansion.

We consider near horizon fall-off conditions of stationary black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory and find conserved charge conjugate to symmetry generator that preserves near horizon fall-off conditions. Subsequently, we find supertranslation, superrotation and multiple-charge modes. We apply the obtained results on a typical static dilaton black hole and on a charged rotating black string, as examples. In this case, supertranslation double-zero-mode charge $\mathcal{T}_{(0,0)}$ is not equal to black hole entropy times Hawking temperature. This may be seen as a problem but it is not, because, in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory, we have a U(1) gauge freedom and we use an appropriate gauge fixing to fix that problem. We show that new entropy formula $4 \pi \hat{J}^{+}_{0} \hat{J}^{-}_{0}$, proposed in \cite{17}, is valid for black strings as well as black holes., Comment: 15 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1802.04665

In this paper we provide the first non-trivial evidence for universality of the entropy formula $4\pi J_{0}^{+}J_{0}^{-}$ beyond pure Einstein gravity in 4-dimensions. We consider the Einstein-Maxwell theory in the presence of cosmological constant, then write near horizon metric of the Kerr-Newman (A)dS black hole in the Gaussian null coordinate system. We consider near horizon fall-off conditions for metric and $U(1)$ gauge field. We find asymptotic combined symmetry generator, consists of diffeomorphism and $U(1)$ gauge transformation, so that it preserves fall-off conditions. Consequently, we find supertranslation, supperrotation and multiple-charge modes and then we show that the entropy formula is held for the Kerr-Newman (A)dS black hole. Supperrotation modes suffer from a problem. By introducing new combined symmetry generator, we cure that problem., Comment: 16 pages. Version published in JHEP

Recently, the theory of Topologically massive gravity non-minimally coupled to a scalar field has been proposed which comes from Lorentz-Chern-Simons theory \cite{1}. That theory is a torsion free one. We extend that theory by adding an extra term which makes torsion to be non-zero. The extended theory can be regarded as an extension of Minimal massive gravity such that it is non-minimally coupled to a scalar field. We obtain equations of motion of extended theory such that they are expressed in terms of usual torsion free spin-connection. We show that BTZ spacetime is a solution of this theory when scalar field is constant. We define quasi-local conserved charge by the concept of generalized off-shell ADT current which both are conserved for any asymptotically Killing vector field as well as a Killing vector field which is admitted by spacetime everywhere. Also we find general formula for entropy of stationary black hole solution in the context of considered theory. We apply the obtained formulas on BTZ black hole solution, to calculate energy, angular momentum and entropy of this soultion. We obtain the central extension term, the central charges and the eigenvalues of the Virasoro algebra generators for the BTZ black hole solution. We calculate energy and angular momentum of BTZ black hole using the eigenvalues of the Virasoro algebra generators. Also we calculate the entropy of BTZ black hole by using the Cardy formula. We find that obtained results using two different ways are exactly matched as we expected., Comment: 22 pages, no figure

In the first order formalism of gravity theories, there are some theories which are not Lorentz-diffeomorphism covariant. In the framework of such theories we cannot apply the method of conserved charge calculation used in Lorentz-diffeomorphism covariant theories. In this paper we firstly introduce the total variation of a quantity due to an infinitesimal Lorentz-diffeomorphism transformation. Secondly, in order to obtain the conserved charges of Lorentz-diffeomorphism non-covariant theories, we extend the Tachikawa method \cite{3}. This extension includes not only Lorentz gauge transformation but also the diffeomorphism. We apply this method to the Chern-Simons-like theories of gravity (CSLTG) and obtain a general formula for the entropy of black holes in those theories. Finally, some examples on CSLTG are provided and the entropy of the BTZ black hole is calculated in the context of the examples., 13 pages, we have improved language of the paper

In this paper we study the Generalized Minimal Massive Gravity (GMMG) in asymptotically $AdS_3$ background. The generalized minimal massive gravity theory is realized by adding the CS deformation term, the higher derivative deformation term, and an extra term to pure Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We study the linearized excitations around the $AdS_3$ background and find that at special point (tricritical) in parameter space the two massive graviton solutions become massless and they are replaced by two solutions with logarithmic and logarithmic-squared boundary behavior. So it is natural to proposed that GMMG model could also provide a holographic description for a $3-$rank Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory (LCFT). We calculate the energy of the linearized gravitons in $AdS_3$ background, and show that the theory is free of negative-energy bulk modes. Then we obtain the central charges of the CFT dual explicitly and show GMMG also avoids the aforementioned "bulk-boundary unitarity clash". After that we show that General Zwei-Dreibein Gravity (GZDG) model can reduce to GMMG model. Finally by a Hamiltonian analysis we show that the GMMG model has no Boulware-Deser ghosts and this model propagate only two physical modes., 23 pages, new sections added

Einstein-Maxwell theory is not only covariant under diffeomorphisms but also is under $U(1)$ gauge transformations. We introduce a combined transformation constructed out of diffeomorphism and $U(1)$ gauge transformation. We show that symplectic potential, which is defined in covariant phase space method, is not invariant under combined transformations. In order to deal with that problem, following Donnelly and Freidel proposal \cite{1}, we introduce new fields. In this way, phase space and consequently symplectic potential will be extended. We show that new fields produce edge modes. We consider surface-preserving symmetries and we show that the group of surface-preserving symmetries is semi-direct sum of 2-dimensional diffeomorphism group on a spacelike codimension two surface with $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $U(1)$. Eventually, we deduce that the Casimir of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ is the area element, similar to the pure gravity case \cite{1}., Comment: 18 pages

The brane inflationary model inspired by a polytropic inflationary idea is studied. In the slow-roll approximation and high energy limit, for a chaotic potential, the model is developed, and its characteristics are discussed. We obtain explicit expressions for the scalar power spectrum, the tensor-scalar ratio, the scalar spectral index and its running in terms of the polytropic parameters. We find a new constraint on the energy scale of the inflation and the brane tension using the WMAP9 data.

The exact solution of the Schrodinger equation for the four quasi-exactly solvable potentials is presented using the functional Bethe ansatz method. It is shown that all models give rise to the same basic differential equation which is quasi-exactly solvable. The eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and the allowed potential parameters are given for each of the four models in terms of the roots of a set of algebraic Bethe ansatz equations.

We study the warm-tachyon inflationary universe model with viscous pressure in high-dissipation regime. General conditions which are required for this model to be realizable are derived in the slow-roll approximation. We present analytic expressions for density perturbation and amplitude of tensor perturbation in longitudinal gauge. Expressions of tensor-to-scalar ratio, scalar spectral index and its running are obtained. We develop our model by using exponential potential, the characteristics of this model are calculated for two specific cases in great details: 1- Dissipative parameter $\Gamma$ and bulk viscous parameter $\zeta$ are constant parameters. 2- Dissipative parameter is a function of tachyon field $\phi$ and bulk viscous parameter is a function of matter-radiation mixture energy density $\rho$. The parameters of the model are restricted by recent observational data from the nine-year Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe (WMAP9), Planck and BICEP2 data., Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in PLB (2014). arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1302.0493, arXiv:1312.2832

The general Bianchi type I with dark energy in the form of standard and modified Chaplygin gas with variable G and Λ and bulk viscosity have been investigated. The de Sitter, power-law and general exponential solutions are assumed for the scale factor in each spatial direction and the corresponding cosmological models are reconstructed. Moreover, for the general exponential solutions, from which the de Sitter and power-law solutions may be obtained, we obtain models that reproduce the early universe, assumed as the inflation, and the late time accelerated expanding universe, that which yields a constant value for the deceleration parameter. We reconstruct bulk viscosity, ξ, gravitational parameter, G, cosmological term, Λ, density parameter, Ω, cosmological constant density parameter, ΩΛ, and deceleration parameter, q, for different equations of state. In the large time limit the model describes an accelerating universe wherein the effective negative pressure induced by Chaplygin gas and bulk viscous pressure are driving the acceleration.

The ordinary and entropy-corrected versions of the holographic dark energy models in the spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe are considered. Then the F(G) modified gravity models as a candidates of dark energy are reconstructed according to the ordinary and entropy-corrected versions of the holographic dark energy models. The EoS parameters corresponding to the F(G) gravity models are obtained. The validity phantom or quintessence models in this framework of the modified gravity are investigated.

We study particle production in a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe in the framework of f(T) gravity. An exact power-law solution is obtained by solving the Friedmann equations and assuming that matter is minimally coupled with gravitation. The torsion scalar, T, appears to plays the same role as the curvature (Ricci scalar) in general relativity (GR) and its modified theories, f(R). Particularly, in the phantom phase, we observe that the vacuum state corresponds to a vanishing torsion scalar and particle production becomes important as the torsion scalar diverges. This aspect not only provides the equivalence between teleparallel gravity and GR, but also between their respective modified versions, f(T) and f(R), in the view of massless particle production phenomenon when matter is minimally coupled with gravity. However, when the gravitational and scalar fields are not minimally coupled, it appears that this similarity between the teleparallel gravity and GR may break down, because the torsion scalar no longer has the same time-dependent expression as the Ricci scalar.

In this paper we show that warped AdS$_{3}$ black hole spacetime is a solution of the generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) and introduce suitable boundary conditions for asymptotically warped AdS$_{3}$ spacetimes. Then we find the Killing vector fields such that transformations generated by them preserve the considered boundary conditions. We calculate the conserved charges which correspond to the obtained Killing vector fields and show that the algebra of the asymptotic conserved charges is given as the semi direct product of the Virasoro algebra with $U(1)$ current algebra. We use a particular Sugawara construction to reconstruct the conformal algebra. Thus, we are allowed to use the Cardy formula to calculate the entropy of the warped black hole. We demonstrate that the gravitational entropy of the warped black hole exactly coincide with what we obtain via Cardy's formula. As we expect the warped Cardy formula also give us exactly the same result which we obtain from usual Cardy's formula. We calculate mass and angular momentum of the warped black and then check that obtained mass, angular momentum and entropy satisfy first law of the black hole mechanics. According to the results of this paper we belief that the dual theory of the warped AdS$_{3}$ black hole solution of GMMG is a Warped CFT., Comment: 24 pages, accepted for publication in Class.

We study the dynamics of interacting holographic dark energy model in Brans-Dicke cosmology for the future event horizon and the Hubble horizon cut-offs. We determine the system of first-order differential equations for the future event horizon and Hubble horizon cut-offs, and obtain the corresponding fixed points, attractors, repellers and saddle points. Finally, we investigate the cosmic coincidence problem in this model for the future event horizon and Hubble horizon cut-offs and find that for both cut-offs and for a variety of Brans-Dicke parameters the coincidence problem is almost resolved., 14 pages, two figures, revised

In this paper we consider a generally covariant theory of gravity, and extend the generalized off-shell ADT current such that it becomes conserved for field dependent (asymptotically) Killing vector field. Then we define the extended off-shell ADT current and the extended off-shell ADT charge. Consequently, we define the conserved charge perturbation by integrating from the extended off-shell ADT charge over a spacelike codimension two surface. Eventually, we use the presented formalism to find the conserved charge perturbation of an asymptotically flat spacetime. The conserved charge perturbation we obtain is exactly matched with the result of Ref. (Barnich and Troessaert, 12:105 2011). These charges are as representations of the $$\hbox {BMS}_4$$ symmetry algebra. Also, we find that the near horizon conserved charges of a non-extremal black hole with extended symmetries are the Noether charges. For this case our result is also exactly matched with that of Ref. (Donnay et al., arXiv:1607.05703 [hep-th], 2016).

We consider a metric which describes Ba$\tilde{\text{n}}$ados geometries and show that the considered metric is a solution of generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) model. We consider the Killing vector field which preserves the form of considered metric. Using the off-shell quasi-local approach we obtain the asymptotic conserved charges of given solution. Similar to the Einstein gravity in the presence of negative cosmological constant, for the GMMG model also, we show that the algebra among the asymptotic conserved charges is isomorphic to two copies of the Virasoro algebra. Eventually, we find relation between the algebra of the near horizon and the asymptotic conserved charges. This relation show that the main part of the horizon fluffs proposal of Refs.\cite{140,14} appear for generic black holes in the class of Ba$\tilde{\text{n}}$ados geometries in the context of GMMG model., 12 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1606.05260

In this paper the quantum backreaction of non-minimally coupled massless quintom fields in FLRW universe has been discussed. quintom model contains two massless scalar fields where one of scalar fields has positive kinetic energy and another one has negative kinetic energy term. In this model, we obtain the vacuum expectation value of the full energy–momentum tensor in different cosmological eras including inflation, radiation and matter dominated eras on FRLW universe with constant \(\epsilon \). This quantity is divergent in different cases. In order to renormalize it, we separate the vacuum expectation values of the full energy–momentum tensor to the UV and IR parts by using \(\mu \) cutoff. Then we eliminate the UV divergences by introducing a counterterm action and adding it to the action of the model. Also we calculate the IR part of the energy–momentum tensor during inflation and different transitions. For this purpose, we assume that the transition from one period to the next happens fast. Therefore we use a sudden transition approximation at matching time. In order to study behavior of the backreaction, we obtain the ratio of the dominant contribution of quantum energy density to the corresponding background quantity in different cosmological eras. Moreover, we show that the one-loop fluctuations of quintom model on de Sitter space give a contribution to the cosmological constant. Finally we obtain the effect of the quantum backreaction on the background geometry leading to new scale factor for cosmological eras.

In this letter, we suggest a local covariant action for a gauge field theory of fermionic Continuous-Spin Particles (CSPs). The action is invariant under gauge transformations without any constraint on both the gauge field and the gauge transformation parameter. The Fang-Fronsdal equations for a tower of massless fields with all half-integer spins arise as a particular limit of the equation of motion of fermionic CSPs., 8 pages, no figure. Due to the constructive contribution of X. Bekaert in this letter, his name is added as a new author. This version of the paper accepted for publication in PLB(2016)

Restricting the covariant gravitational phase spaces to the manifold of parametrized families of solutions, the mass, angular momenta, entropies, and electric charges can be calculated by a single and simple method. In this method, which has been called "solution phase space method," conserved charges are unambiguous and regular. Moreover, assuming the generators of the charges to be exact symmetries, entropies and other conserved charges can be calculated on almost arbitrary surfaces, not necessarily horizons or asymptotics. Hence, the first law of thermodynamics would be a local identity relating the exact symmetries to which the mass, angular momentum, electric charge, and entropy are attributed. In this paper, we apply this powerful method to the $f(R)$ gravitational theories accompanied by the terms quadratic in the Riemann and Ricci tensors. Furthermore, conserved charges and the first law of thermodynamics for some of their black hole solutions are exemplified. The examples include warped AdS$_3$, charged static BTZ, and 3-dimensional $z=3$ Lifshitz black holes., 21 pages, synchronized with the published version

Recent released Planck data and other astronomical observations show that the universe may be anisotropic on large scales. This hints a cosmological privileged axis in our anisotropic expanding universe. This paper proceeds a modified redshift in anisotropic cosmological model as $ 1+\tilde{z}(t,\hat{\textbf{p}})=\frac{a(t_{0)}}{a(t)}(1-A(\hat{\textbf{n}}.\hat{\textbf{p}}))$ (where $A$ is the magnitude of anisotropy ,$\hat{\textbf{n}}$ is the direction of privileged axis, and $\hat{\textbf{p}}$ is the direction of each SNe Ia sample to galactic coordinates) along with anisotropic parameter $\delta=\frac{A(\hat{\textbf{n}}.\hat{\textbf{p}})}{1+A(\hat{\textbf{n}}.\hat{\textbf{p}})}$. The luminosity distance is expanded with model-independent cosmographic parameters as a function of modified redshift $\tilde{z}$. As the transformation matrix $M(n\times n)$ is obtained to convert the Taylor series coefficients of isotropic luminosity distance to corresponding anisotropic parameters. These results culminate the magnitude of anisotropy about $\mid A\mid \simeq 10^{-3}$ and the direction of preferred axis as $(l,b)=(297^{-34}_{+34},3^{-28}_{+28})$, which are consistent with other studies in $1-\sigma$ confidence level., Comment: 21 pages,11 figures

We study analytical properties of the holographic superconductors with Weyl corrections. We describe the phenomena in the probe limit neglecting backreaction of the space-time. We observe that for the conformal dimension $\triangle_{+}=3$, the minimum value of the critical temperature $T^{Min}_c$ at which condensation sets, can be obtained directly from the equations of motion as $T^{Min}_c\approx 0.170845\sqrt[3]{\rho}$, which is in very good agreement with the numerical value $T^{Min}_c=0.170\sqrt[3]{\rho}$ [Phys.Lett.B697:153-158,2011]. This value of $T^{Min}_c$ corresponds to the value of the Weyl's coupling $\gamma=-0.06$ in table (1) of [Phys.Lett.B697:153-158,2011]. We calculate the $T^{Min}_c\approx 0.21408\sqrt[3]{\rho}$ for another Weyl's coupling $\gamma=0.02$ and the the conformal dimension $\triangle_{-}=1$. Further, we show that the critical exponent is $\beta=1/2$. We observe that there is a linear relation between the charge density $\rho$ and the chemical potential difference $\mu-\mu_c$ qualitatively matches the numerical curves., Comment: Accepted for publication in Modern Physics Letters A, 11 pages, Title changed

In the present paper we study the holographic description of the five-dimensional Kerr–Gödel black holes. We find that if focusing on the near-horizon region, for the massless scalar scattering in the low-frequency limit, the radial equation could be rewritten as the SL (2, R)L × SL (2, R)R quadratic Casimir, suggesting the existence of dual two-dimensional description. We read the temperatures of the dual CFT from the conformal coordinates. We recover the macroscopic entropy from microscopic considerations by applying the Cardy formula for the putative dual CFT. We also show that the absorption cross-section of a near-region scalar field is matched to the universal behavior of the 2-point function of finite temperature CFT.

In this note we searched for a family of solutions with Caustic singularity in non relativistic-renormalizable Ho$\check {\textbf{r}}$ava-Lifshitz (HL)theory without the general covariant. We show that in infrared (IR) limit and with a deviation from $\lambda=1$ we have no caustic singularity. Also in ultraviolet (UV) regime and for Ricci flat 3-dimensional (3d) spaces and codimension 1 and for $\lambda\neq1$ the non linear terms should help bouncing this kind of most dangerous would be caustics. But if 3d curvature does not vanish, higher curvature terms do help caustics even in codimension one. Thus the arguments in [JCAP 0909:005,2009] are satisfied correctly.

In this paper we consider a massive scalar field on the boundary of AdS space–time and calculate the quasinormal modes for the string inspired Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity in five dimensions. We study the effects of Gauss–Bonnet parameter, temperature, scalar field's mass and momentum vector on the effective potential and quasinormal modes.

In this paper, we have shown that the entropy of the dilaton-axion black hole can be expressed by the Cardy-Verlinde formula. The later is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension. Next we have calculated the first order correction to the Cardy-Verlinde formula in the context of dilaton-axion black hole.

We show that extremal rotating charged black holes have a hidden conformal symmetry. In this regard, we consider the wave equation of a massless scalar field propagating in rotating charged spacetimes and find in the “near region”, the wave equation in extremal limit can be written in terms of SL(2,R) Casimir invariants. Moreover, we obtain the microscopic entropy of the rotating charged black holes and find the correlation function of a near-region scalar field matches to the microscopic greybody factor of the dual 2D CFT.

We show that extremal rotating NS5-branes space–times have a hidden conformal symmetry. In this regard, we consider the wave equation of a massless scalar field propagating in extremal NS5-branes space–times and find in the "near region," the wave equation in extremal limit can be written in terms of the SL (2, R) quadratic Casimir. Moreover, we obtain the microscopic entropy of the extremal NS5-branes space–times, also we calculate the correlation function of a near-region scalar field and find perfect agreement with the dual 2D CFT.

We show that extremal BMPV black holes have a hidden conformal symmetry. In this regard, we consider the wave equation of a massless scalar field propagating in extremal BMPV spacetime and find in the “near region”, the wave equation in extremal limit could be written in terms of the SL(2,R) quadratic Casimir. From the new conformal coordinates, the temperatures of the dual CFTs could be read directly. For the extremal black hole, the Hawking temperature is vanishing. Correspondingly, only the left (right) temperature of the dual CFT is non-vanishing and the excitations of the other sector are suppressed. Moreover, we obtain the microscopic entropy of the extremal BMPV black hole and find that the correlation function of a near-region scalar field matches to the microscopic greybody factor of the dual 2D CFT.

In the present paper, we show that for a low frequency limit the wave equation of massless scalar field in the background of rotating NS5-branes can be written as the Casimir of SL (2, R) symmetry. Our result shows that the entropy of the rotating NS5-brane is reproduced by the Cardy formula, also the absorption cross-section is in consistence with the finite temperature absorption cross-section for a 2D CFT.

In this paper, we extend the modified holographic dark energy proposed by Wei [H. Wei, Nucl. Phys. B819 (2009) 210] to the interacting case and in a nonflat universe. We first choose the IR cutoff to be the radius of the event horizon Rh measured on the sphere of the horizon and derive the equation of state for the holographic energy density in the nonflat universe. Then, by choosing the Jeans length as the IR cutoff, we obtain the necessary conditions for having a cosmologically consistent model.

We investigate the energy–momentum tensor for a massless conformally coupled scalar field in the region between two curved surfaces in k = -1 static Robertson–Walker space–time. We assume that the scalar field satisfies the Robin boundary condition on the surfaces. Robertson–Walker space–time space is conformally related to Rindler space; as a result we can obtain vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor for a conformally invariant field in Robertson–Walker space–time space from the corresponding Rindler counterpart by the conformal transformation.
