AbstractCollapsing solutions in f(R) gravity are restricted due to junction conditions that demand continuity of the Ricci scalar and its normal derivative across the time-like collapsing hypersurface. These are obtained via the method of R-matching, which is ubiquitous in f(R) collapse scenarios. In this paper, we study spherically symmetric collapse with the modification term $$\alpha R^2$$ α R 2 , and use R-matching to exemplify a class of new solutions. After discussing some mathematical preliminaries by which we obtain an algebraic relation between the shear and the anisotropy in these theories, we consider two metric ansatzes. In the first, the collapsing metric is considered to be a separable function of the co-moving radius and time, and the collapse is shear-free, and in the second, a non-separable interior solution is considered, that represents gravitational collapse with non-zero shear viscosity. We arrive at novel solutions that indicate the formation of black holes or locally naked singularities, while obeying all the necessary energy conditions. The separable case allows for a simple analytic expression of the energy-momentum tensor, that indicates the positivity of the pressures throughout collapse, and is further used to study the heat flux evolution of the collapsing matter, whose analytic solutions are presented under certain approximations. These clearly highlight the role of modified gravity in the examples that we consider.

Bosonic representations of N=2 superconformal algebra are studied. We show that the free energy momentum tensor decomposes into an orthogonal sum of the interacting bosonic model (IBM) and a coset-like tensors. We define the notion of flags of models and show that the central charge does not decrease along the flags. We examine the conditions for an arbitrary un-oriented graph to form an IBM. We discuss several properties of the chiral algebra of these models and examine the role of the continuous parameters by studying an example. Finally we discuss the relations between these models and the N=2 superconformal coset models.

Starting from the known representation of the Kac–Moody algebra in terms of the coordinates and momenta, we extend it to the representation of the super Kac–Moody and super Virasoro algebras. Then we use general canonical method to construct an action invariant under local gauge symmetries, where components of the super energy–momentum tensor L± and G± play the role of the diffeomorphisms and supersymmetry generators respectively. We obtain covariant extension of WZNW theory with respect to local supersymmetry as well as explicit expressions for gauge transformations.

This paper formulates the exact static anisotropic spherically symmetric solution of the field equations through gravitational decoupling. To accomplish this work, we add a new gravitational source in the energy–momentum tensor of a perfect fluid. The corresponding field equations, hydrostatic equilibrium equation as well as matching conditions are evaluated. We obtain the anisotropic model by extending the known Durgapal and Gehlot isotropic solution and examined the physical viability as well as the stability of the developed model. It is found that the system exhibits viable behavior for all fluid variables as well as energy conditions and the stability criterion is fulfilled.

This paper studies the viable regions of some cosmic models in a higher derivative [Formula: see text] theory with the help of energy conditions (where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar, d’Alembert’s operator and trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively). For this purpose, we assume a flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric which is assumed to be filled with perfect fluid configurations. We take two distinct realistic models that might be helpful to explore stable regimes of cosmological solutions. After taking some numerical values of cosmic parameters, like crackle, snap, jerk (etc.) as well as viable constraints from energy conditions, the viable zones for the under observed [Formula: see text] models are examined.

In this paper, a rotating thin shell in a (2 + 1)-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetime is studied. The spacetime exterior to the shell is the rotating BTZ spacetime and the interior is the empty spacetime with a cosmological constant. Through the Einstein equation in (2 + 1) dimensions and the corresponding junction conditions we calculate the dynamical relevant quantities, namely, the rest energy–density, the pressure, and the angular momentum flux density. We also analyze the matter in a frame where its energy–momentum tensor has a perfect fluid form. In addition, we show that Machian effects, such as the dragging of inertial frames, also occur in rotating (2 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. The weak and the dominant energy condition for these shells are discussed.

Within the scope of Bianchi type-IX cosmological model we have studied the role of spinor field in the evolution of the Universe. It is found that unlike the diagonal Bianchi models in this case the components of energy–momentum tensor of spinor field along the principal axis are not the same (i.e., [Formula: see text]), even in the absence of spinor field nonlinearity. The presence of nontrivial non-diagonal components of energy–momentum tensor of the spinor field imposes severe restrictions both on geometry of space–time and on the spinor field itself. As a result the space–time turns out to be either locally rotationally symmetric or isotropic. In this paper we considered the Bianchi type-IX space–time both for a trivial b, that corresponds to standard Bianchi type-IX and the one with a non-trivial b. It was found that a positive self-coupling constant λ1 gives rise to an oscillatory mode of expansion, while a trivial λ1 leads to rapid expansion at the early stage of evolution.

We investigate the role of tilted and nontilted congruence in the dynamics of dissipative Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi spacetime in [Formula: see text] gravity. We consider imperfect fluid with its congruences observed by tilted observer and dust fluid filled with LTB geometry observed by the nontilted observer. In order to elaborate the dynamical features of two congruences, we consider well-known [Formula: see text] models and develop relationships between tilted and nontilted dynamical variables. We evaluate the nonzero divergence of energy–momentum tensor for tilted congruence and transport equation for the system in [Formula: see text] gravity. We have also checked the instability regimes for nontilted congruence.

Models of static wormholes within the [Formula: see text] extended theory of gravity are investigated, in particular the family [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] being the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. Models corresponding to different relations for the pressure components (radial and lateral), and several equations-of-state (EoS), reflecting different matter content, are worked out explicitly. The solutions obtained for the shape functions of the generated wormholes obey the necessary metric conditions, as manifested in other studies in the literature. The respective energy conditions reveal the physical nature of the wormhole models thus constructed. It is found, in particular, that for each of those considered, the parameter space can be divided into different regions, in which the exact wormhole solutions fulfill the null energy conditions (NEC) and the weak energy conditions (WEC), respectively, in terms of the lateral pressure. Moreover, the dominant energy condition (DEC) in terms of both pressures is also valid, while [Formula: see text]. A similar solution for the theory [Formula: see text] is found numerically, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are either constant or functions of [Formula: see text], leading to the result that the NEC in terms of the radial pressure is also valid. For nonconstant [Formula: see text] models, attention is focused on the behavior [Formula: see text]. To finish, the question is addressed, how [Formula: see text] will affect the wormhole solutions corresponding to fluids of the form [Formula: see text], in the three cases such as NEC, WEC and DEC. Issues concerning the nonconservation of the matter energy–momentum tensor, the stability of the solutions obtained, and the observational possibilities for testing these models are discussed in Sec. 6.

Hawking radiation is obtained from anomalies resulting from a breaking of diffeomorphism symmetry near the event horizon of a black hole. Such anomalies, manifested as a nonconservation of the energy–momentum tensor, occur in two different forms — covariant and consistent. The crucial role of covariant anomalies near the horizon is revealed, since this is the only input required to obtain the Hawking flux, thereby highlighting the universality of this effect. A brief description of the application of this method to obtain thermodynamic entities like entropy or temperature is provided.

This paper is devoted to study the traversable wormhole (WH) solutions in the context of f(𝒢) gravity. For this purpose, we consider the viable power-law form f(𝒢) = a𝒢n as well as specific variable red-shift function and investigate WH geometries for traceless, isotropic as well as barotropic fluids. It is found that in each case, the effective energy-momentum tensor violates the null energy condition throughout the WH throat. We also check the null as well as weak energy conditions for ordinary matter. We conclude that physical acceptable WH solutions exist in certain regions only for radial barotropic case while the range of these regions increases and decreases as the power of 𝒢 increases in even and odd manner, respectively.
