We investigate f(R, T) gravity models (where R is the curvature scalar and T is the trace of the stress–energy tensor of ordinary matter) that are able to reproduce the four known types of future finite-time singularities. We choose a suitable expression for the Hubble parameter to realise the cosmic acceleration and we introduce two parameters, α and Hs, which characterise each type of singularity. We address the conformal anomaly and we observe that it cannot remove the sudden singularity or the Big Brake, but, for some values of α, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze may be avoided. We also find that, even without taking into account the conformal anomaly, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze may be removed thanks to the presence of the T contribution of the f(R, T) theory.

We investigate models of future finite-time singularities in f(T) theory, where T is the torsion scalar. The algebraic function f(T) is the teleparallel term, T, plus an arbitrary function, g(T). A suitable expression for the Hubble parameter is assumed and constraints are imposed to provide an expanding universe. Two parameters, β and Hs, that appear in the Hubble parameter are relevant in specifying the types of singularities. Differential equations of g(T) are established and solved, leading to algebraic f(T) models for each type of future finite-time singularity. Moreover, we take into account the viscosity in the fluid and discuss three interesting cases: constant viscosity, viscosity proportional to [Formula: see text], and the general one where the viscosity is proportional to (−T)n/2, where n is a natural number. We see that for the first and second cases, in general, the singularities are robust against the viscous fluid, while for the general case, the Big Rip and the Big Freeze can be avoided from the effects of the viscosity for some values of n.

This paper is aimed to evaluate the existence of wormholes in viable [Formula: see text] gravity models (where [Formula: see text] is the scalar curvature and [Formula: see text] is the trace of stress–energy tensor of matter). The exact solutions for energy–momentum tensor components depending on different shapes and redshift functions are calculated without some additional constraints. To investigate this, we consider static spherically symmetric geometry with matter contents as anisotropic fluid and formulate the Einstein field equations for three different [Formula: see text] models. For each model, we derive expression for weak and null energy conditions and graphically analyzed its violation near the throat. It is really interesting that wormhole solutions do not require the presence of exotic matter — like that in general relativity. Finally, the stability of the solutions for each model is presented using equilibrium condition.

Abstract The large N limit of symmetric orbifold theories was recently argued to have an AdS/CFT dual world-sheet description in terms of an sl(2, ℝ) WZW model. In previous work the world-sheet state corresponding to the symmetric orbifold stress-energy tensor was identified. We calculate certain 2- and 3-point functions of the corresponding vertex operator on the world-sheet, and demonstrate that these amplitudes reproduce exactly what one expects from the dual symmetric orbifold perspective.

The electromagnetic perturbations propagating in the multiconical spacetime of N parallel cosmic strings are described. The expression for vacuum average of the stress-energy tensor is reduced to a form involving only zero-spin-weighted perturbation modes.

A periodic connection is constructed for a double well potential defined in the plane. This solution violates Modica's estimate as well as the corresponding Liouville theorem for general phase transition potentials. Gradient estimates are also established for several kinds of elliptic systems. They allow us to prove the Liouville theorem in some particular cases. Finally, we give an alternative form of the stress–energy tensor for solutions defined in planar domains. As an application, we deduce a (strong) monotonicity formula.

Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate that at leading order in post Minkowskian (PM) expansion, the stress-energy tensor of Kerr-Newman black hole can be recovered to all orders in spin from three sets of minimal coupling: the electric and gravitational minimal coupling for higher-spin particles, and the “minimal coupling” for massive spin-2 decay. These couplings are uniquely defined from kinematic consideration alone. This is shown by extracting the classical piece of the one-loop stress-energy tensor form factor, which we provide a basis that is valid to all orders in spin. The 1 PM stress tensor, and the metric in the harmonic gauge, is then recovered from the classical spin limit of the form factor.
