The averaging problem in cosmology is of considerable importance for the correct interpretation of cosmological data. In this essay an approach to averaging based on scalar curvature invariants is presented, which gives rise to significant effects on cosmological evolution.

Deriving the gravitational effective action directly from exact renormalization group is very complicated, if not impossible. Hence, to study the effects of running gravitational coupling which tends to a non-Gaussian UV fixed point (as it is supposed by the asymptotic safety conjecture), two steps are usually adopted. Cutoff identification and improvement of the gravitational coupling to the running one. As suggested in Ref. 1, a function of all independent curvature invariants seems to be the best choice for cutoff identification of gravitational quantum fluctuations in curved space–time and makes the action improvement, which saves the general covariance of theory, possible. Here, we choose Ricci tensor square for this purpose and then the equation of motion of improved gravitational action and its spherically symmetric vacuum solution are obtained. Indeed, its effect on the massive particles’ trajectory and the black hole thermodynamics is studied.

The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of polynomial [Formula: see text] dark sector cosmic terms on the collapse of electrically charged Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi geometry. We explored a class of solutions for [Formula: see text] field equations in the existence of electromagnetic field and under the constraint of constant curvature scalar. The influence of [Formula: see text] model on the dynamics of collapsing object have been discussed by studying its black hole and cosmological horizons. Also, the effects of these dark sources on the time interval between the corresponding singularities and horizons have been studied. We investigated that the process of collapse slows down due to the higher order curvature invariants of polynomial [Formula: see text] model and electromagnetic field.

A fundamental result in the theory of black holes due to Hawking asserts that the event horizon of a black hole in the stationary space-time is a 2-sphere topologically. In this article we prove the Riemannian analogue of Hawking's result. In other words, we prove that each bolt of a 4-dimensional complete noncompact Einstein manifold of zero scalar curvature admitting a semifree isometric circle action is a 2-sphere topologically. We also study the structure of the orbit space of an Einstein manifold admitting a free isometric circle action.

We study the existence of a non-spacelike isometry, ζ, in higher-dimensional Kundt spacetimes with constant scalar curvature invariants (CSI). We present the particular forms for the null or timelike Killing vectors and a set of constraints for the metric functions in each case. Within the class of N-dimensional CSI Kundt spacetimes, admitting a non-spacelike isometry, we determine which of these can admit a covariantly constant null vector that also satisfy ζ[a;b] = 0.

AbstractIt is known that the event horizon of a black hole can often be identified from the zeroes of some curvature invariants. The situation in lower dimensions has not been thoroughly clarified. In this work we investigate both ($$2+1$$2+1)- and ($$1+1$$1+1)-dimensional black hole horizons of static, stationary and dynamical black holes, identified with the zeroes of scalar polynomial and Cartan curvature invariants, with the purpose of discriminating the different roles played by the Weyl and Riemann curvature tensors. The situations and applicability of the methods are found to be quite different from that in 4-dimensional spacetime. The suitable Cartan invariants employed for detecting the horizon can be interpreted as a local extremum of the tidal force suggesting that the horizon of a black hole is a genuine special hypersurface within the full manifold, contrary to the usual claim that there is nothing special at the horizon, which is said to be a consequence of the equivalence principle.
