In this paper, we investigated the effects of a noncommutative (NC) space-time on the dynamics of the Universe. We generalize the black hole entropy for a NC black hole. Then, using the entropic gravity formalism, we will show that the noncommutativity changes the strength of the gravitational field. By applying this result to a homogeneous and isotropic Universe containing nonrelativistic matter and a cosmological constant, we show that the modified scenario by the noncommutativity of the space-time is a better fit to the obtained data than the standard one at 68% CL.

In 1935, Einstein and Rosen described what is now called the Einstein-Rosen bridge. Wheeler called this a wormhole, which could connect two distant parts of the universe. Thorne and Morris showed the wormhole cannot be traversable unless exotic matter with negative energy props it up. Using the Penrose mechanism of superradiance, one can produce rotational energy from a black hole, which could be used to detect dark matter particles. Higher dimensional objects such as branes in superstring theory have been considered as sources of gravitational waves. Black holes have even been proposed to be giant atoms, related to Hawking radiation and black hole entropy. Bekenstein and Mukhanov postulated that black holes radiated quantum radiation. Many such speculative ideas have been put forth that could potentially be verified by detecting gravitational waves. Yet, many physicists work with mathematical equations, unconcerned with whether their ideas can be verified or falsified by experiments.

Abstract It is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the entropy of a black hole can be given a statistical mechanical interpretation in terms of Planck mass particles. It is furthermore shown that the previously proposed Planck aether model (assuming that space is densely filled with an equal number of positive and negative Planck masses) gives an expression for the black hole entropy, different from the Bekenstein-Hawking formula, with the entropy proportional to the 3/4 power of the black hole surface rather than proportional to its surface. The Planck aether model also gives an expression for the entropy of the gravitational field, which for a black hole is the entropy of negative Planck masses. To be consistent with Nernst's theorem, it is conjectured that this gravitational field entropy is negative. For a universe in which the sum of the positive matter energy and the negative gravitational field energy is zero, the sum of the matter and gravitational field entropy would therefore vanish as well. Because the positive and negative Planck masses are separated from each other, a cancellation of their entropy appears to be only possible in the event of a gravitational collapse of the universe as a whole.

In this study, to investigate the very nature of quantum black holes, we try to relate three independent studies: (q, p)-deformed Fermi gas model, Verlinde’s entropic gravity proposal and Strominger’s quantum black holes obeying the deformed statistics. After summarizing Strominger’s extremal quantum black holes, we represent the thermostatistics of (q, p)-fermions to reach the deformed entropy of the (q, p)-deformed Fermi gas model. Since Strominger’s proposal claims that the quantum black holes obey deformed statistics, this motivates us to describe the statistics of quantum black holes with the (q, p)-deformed fermions. We then apply the Verlinde’s entropic gravity proposal to the entropy of the (q, p)-deformed Fermi gas model which gives the two-parameter deformed Einstein equations describing the gravitational field equations of the extremal quantum black holes obeying the deformed statistics. We finally relate the obtained results with the recent study on other modification of Einstein equations obtained from entropic quantum corrections in the literature.

Some 30 years ago very few scientists thought that black holes may really exist. Attention focussed on the black hole hypothesis after neutron stars had been discovered. It was rather surprising that astrophysicists immediately ‘welcomed’ black holes. They found their place not only in the remnants of supernova explosions but also in the nuclei of galaxies and quasars.

While the basic laws of physics seem time-reversal invariant, our understanding of the apparent irreversibility of the macroscopic world is well grounded in the notion of entropy. Because astrophysics deals with the largest structures in the Universe, one expects evidence there for the most pronounced entropic arrow of time. However, in recent theoretical astrophysics work it appears possible to identify constructs with time-reversal symmetry, which is puzzling in the large-scale realm especially because it involves the engines of powerful outflows in active galactic nuclei which deal with macroscopic constituents such as accretion disks, magnetic fields, and black holes. Nonetheless, the underlying theoretical structure from which this accreting black hole framework emerges displays a time-symmetric harmonic behavior, a feature reminiscent of basic and simple laws of physics. While we may expect such behavior for classical black holes due to their simplicity, manifestations of such symmetry on the scale of galaxies, instead, surprise. In fact, we identify a parallel between the astrophysical tug-of-war between accretion disks and jets in this model and the time symmetry-breaking of a simple overdamped harmonic oscillator. The validity of these theoretical ideas in combination with this unexpected parallel suggests that black holes are more influential in astrophysics than currently recognized and that black hole astrophysics is a more fundamental discipline.

Some of the extremal black hole solutions in string theory have the same quantum numbers as the Bogomol’nyi saturated elementary string states. We explore the possibility that these black holes can be identified with elementary string excitations. It is shown that stringy effects could correct the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the black hole entropy in such a way that it correctly reproduces the logarithm of the density of elementary string states. In particular, this entropy has the correct dependence on three independent parameters, the mass and the left-handed charge of the black hole, and the string coupling constant.

Abstract Nontrivial diffeomorphisms act on the horizon of a generic 4D black holes and create distinguishing features referred to as soft hair. Amongst these are a left-right pair of Virasoro algebras with associated charges that reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for Kerr black holes. In this paper we show that if one adds a negative cosmological constant, there is a similar set of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms that act non-trivially on the horizon. The algebra of these diffeomorphisms gives rise to a central charge. Adding a boundary counterterm, justified to achieve integrability, leads to well-defined central charges with cL = cR. The macroscopic area law for Kerr-AdS black holes follows from the assumption of a Cardy formula governing the black hole microstates.

The neutral time-like particle’s bound orbits around modified Hayward black holes have been investigated. We find that both in the marginally bound orbits (MBO) and the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO), the test particle’s radius and its angular momentum are all more sensitive to one of the parameters [Formula: see text]. Especially, modified Hayward black holes with [Formula: see text] could mimic the same ISCO radius around the Kerr black hole with the spin parameter up to [Formula: see text]. Small [Formula: see text] could mimic the ISCO of small-spinning test particles around Schwarzschild black holes. Meanwhile, rational (periodic) orbits around modified Hayward black holes have also been studied. The epicyclic frequencies of the quasi-circular motion around modified Hayward black holes are calculated and discussed with respect to the observed Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) frequencies. Our results show that rational orbits around modified Hayward black holes have different values of the energy from the ones of Schwarzschild black holes. The epicyclic frequencies in modified Hayward black holes have different frequencies from Schwarzschild and Kerr ones. These might provide hints for distinguishing modified Hayward black holes from Schwarzschild and Kerr ones by using the dynamics of time-like particles around the strong gravitational field.

By studying objects outside our Solar System, we can observe star systems with far greater gravitational fields. ‘Extrasolar tests of gravity’ considers stars of different sizes that have undergone gravitational collapse, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. A black hole consists of a region of space-time enclosed by a surface called an event horizon. The gravitational field of a black hole is so strong that anything that finds its way inside the event horizon can never escape. Other star systems considered are binary pulsars and triple star systems. With the invention of even more powerful telescopes, there will be more tantalizing possibilities for testing gravity in the future.

Gravitational lensing and black hole shadows are one of the strongest observational evidences to prove the existence of black holes in the universe. The gravitational lensing arises due to the deflection of light by the gravitational field of a gravitating body such as a black hole. Investigation of the shadow cast by a compact object as well as deflection of light around it may provide the useful information about physical nature of the particular compact object and other related aspects. In this paper, we study the deflection of light by a dual-charged stringy black hole space–time derived in dilaton-Maxwell gravity. The variation of deflection angle with the impact parameter for different values of electric and magnetic charges is studied. We also study the shadow of this black hole space–time to obtain the radius of shadow cast by it. We have considered an optically thin emission disk around it and observed that there are not significant changes in the shadow cast by this black hole compared to well-known Schwarzschild black hole space–time in GR.
