AbstractWe analyse the canonical energy of vacuum linearised gravitational fields on light cones on a de Sitter, Minkowski, and Anti de Sitter backgrounds in Bondi gauge. We derive the associated asymptotic symmetries. When $$\varLambda >0$$ Λ > 0 the energy diverges, but a renormalised formula with well defined flux is obtained. We show that the renormalised energy in the asymptotically off-diagonal gauge coincides with the quadratisation of the generalisation of the Trautman–Bondi mass proposed in Chruściel and Ifsits (Phys Rev D 93:124075, arXiv:1603.07018 [gr-qc], 2016).

Abstract We study de Sitter configurations in ten-dimensional string models where supersymmetry is either absent or broken at the string scale. To this end, we derive expressions for the cosmological constant in general warped flux compactifications with localized sources, which yield no-go theorems that extend previous works on supersymmetric cases. We frame our results within a dimensional reduction and connect them to a number of Swampland conjectures, corroborating them further in the absence of supersymmetry. Furthermore, we construct a top-down string embedding of de Sitter brane-world cosmologies within unstable anti-de Sitter landscapes, providing a concrete realization of a recently revisited proposal.

Gravitational radiation plays an important role in astrophysics. Based on the fact that our universe is expanding, the gravitational radiation when a positive cosmological constant is presented has been studied along with two different ways recently, one is the Bondi–Sachs (BS) framework in which the result is shown by BS quantities in the asymptotic null structure, the other is the perturbation approach in which the result is presented by the quadrupoles of source. Therefore, it is worth to interpret the quantities in asymptotic null structure in terms of the information of the source. In this paper, we investigate this problem and find the explicit expressions of BS quantities in terms of the quadrupoles of source in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. We also estimate how far away the source is, the cosmological constant may affect the detection of the gravitational wave.

We consider the formulation and some elaboration of p-adic and adelic quantum cosmology. The adelic generalization of the Hartle–Hawking proposal does not work in models with matter fields. p-adic and adelic minisuperspace quantum cosmology is well defined as an ordinary application of p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics. It is illustrated by a few cosmological models in one, two and three minisuperspace dimensions. As a result of p-adic quantum effects and the adelic approach, these models exhibit some discreteness of the minisuperspace and cosmological constant. In particular, discreteness of the de Sitter space and its cosmological constant is emphasized.

Various approaches to quantum gravity, such as string theory, predict a minimal measurable length and a modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle near the Plank scale, known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Here we study the effects of GUP, which preserves the rotational symmetry of the space–time, on the Kepler problem. By comparing the value of the perihelion shift of the planet Mercury in Schwarzschild – de Sitter space–time with the resultant value of GUP, we find a relation between the minimal measurable length and the cosmological constant of the space–time. Now, if the cosmological constant varies with time, we have a variable minimal length in the space–time. Finally, we investigate the effects of GUP on the stability of circular orbits.

We aim to investigate the theory of Lorentz violation with an invariant minimum speed called Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR) from the viewpoint of its metric. Thus, we should explore the nature of SSR-metric in order to understand the origin of the conformal factor that appears in the metric by deforming Minkowski metric by means of an invariant minimum speed that breaks down Lorentz symmetry. So, we are able to realize that there is a similarity between SSR and a new space with variable negative curvature ([Formula: see text]) connected to a set of infinite cosmological constants ([Formula: see text]), working like an extended de Sitter (dS) relativity, so that such extended dS-relativity has curvature and cosmological “constant” varying in time. We obtain a scenario that is more similar to dS-relativity given in the approximation of a slightly negative curvature for representing the current universe having a tiny cosmological constant. Finally, we show that the invariant minimum speed provides the foundation for understanding the kinematics origin of the extra dimension considered in dS-relativity in order to represent the dS-length.

Extremal cosmological black holes are analysed in the framework of the most general second order scalar-tensor theory, the so-called Horndeski gravity. Such extremal black holes are a particular case of Schwarzschild-De Sitter black holes that arises when the black hole horizon and the cosmological one coincide. Such metric is induced by a particular value of the effective cosmological constant and is known as Nariai spacetime. The existence of this type of solutions is studied when considering the Horndeski Lagrangian and its stability is analysed, where the so-called anti-evaporation regime is studied. Contrary to other frameworks, the radius of the horizon remains stable for some cases of the Horndeski Lagrangian when considering perturbations at linear order.

The aim of this work is to analyze and to verify the effects of the charge and cosmological constant on the temperature oscillations that occur in a gas in a circular motion close to geodesic under the action of a Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter metric. The temperature oscillations are determined from Tolman’s law written in Fermi normal coordinates for a comoving observer. The temperature oscillations are calculated for a theoretical model obtained in the literature. Comparing the different configurations analyzed, it is possible to verify that the cosmological constant term causes a small displacement in the oscillation peaks. We also calculated the ratio between frequencies for some particular cases of the Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter metric and verified that the cases with null cosmological constant are closer of the 3/2 value found in QPOs. In another hand, the addition of the cosmological constant causes a direct increase of the ratio between frequencies.
