Phantom scalar emission in the Kerr black hole spacetime
We study the absorption probability and Hawking radiation spectra of a phantom scalar field in the Kerr black hole spacetime. We find that the presence of negative kinetic energy terms modifies the standard results in the graybody factor, super-radiance and Hawking radiation. Comparing with the usual scalar particle, the phantom scalar emission is enhanced in the black hole spacetime.

Dynamical evolution of scalar perturbation in Hořava-Lifshitz black-hole spacetimes
We study the dynamical evolution of a massless scalar perturbation in the Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz black-hole spacetimes with the coupling constants $\ensuremath{\lambda}=\frac{1}{3}$, $\ensuremath{\lambda}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\ensuremath{\lambda}=3$, respectively. Our calculation shows that, for the three cases, the scalar perturbations decay without any oscillation in which the decay rate imprints the parameter of the Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz black hole. The results are quite different from those in the Schwarzschild AdS black hole and can help us understand more about the Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz gravity.

Entropy and topology of the Kerr-de Sitter black hole
By using the path integral method of Gibbons and Hawking, the entropy of the Kerr-de Sitter black hole is investigated under the microcanonical ensemble. We find that the entropy is one eighth the sum of the products of the Euler number of its cosmological horizon and event horizon with their respective areas. It is shown that the origin of the entropy of the black hole is related to the topology of its instanton.

Analytical study on holographic superconductors with backreactions
A bstractWe employ the variational method for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem to analytically investigate the properties of the holographic superconductors. We find that the analytic method is still powerful when the backreaction is turned on. Reducing step size in the iterative procedure, we observe that the consistency of results between the analytic and numerical computations can be further improved. The obtained analytic result can be used to back up the numerical computations in the holographic superconductor in the fully backreacted spacetime.

$P-V$ criticality of AdS black hole in $f(R)$ gravity
We study thermodynamics of a charged AdS black hole in the special $f(R)$ correction with the constant Ricci scalar curvature. Our results show that the the $f(R)$ correction influences the Gibbs free energy and the phase transition of system. The ratio $\rho_c$ occurred at the critical point increases monotonically with the derivative term $f'(R_0)$. We also disclose that the critical exponents are the same as those of the liquid-gas phase transition in the Van der Waals model, which does not depend on the $f(R)$ correction considered here.

A new approach to the vacuum of inflationary models
A new approach is given for the implementation of boundary conditions used in solving the Mukhanov–Sasaki equation in the context of inflation. The familiar quantization procedure is reviewed, along with a discussion of where one might expect deviations from the standard approach to arise. The proposed method introduces a (model-dependent) fitting function for the z″/z and a″/a terms in the Mukhanov–Sasaki equation for scalar and tensor modes, as well as imposes the boundary conditions at a finite conformal time. As an example, we employ a fitting function and compute the spectral index, along with its running, for a specific inflationary model, which possesses background equations that are analytically solvable. The observational upper bound on the tensor to scalar ratio is used to constrain the parameters of the boundary conditions in the tensor sector as well. An overview on the generalization of this method is also discussed.

Geodesically complete analytic solutions for a cyclic universe
We present analytic solutions to a class of cosmological models described by a canonical scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and experiencing self interactions through a hyperbolic potential. Using models and methods inspired by 2T-physics, we show how analytic solutions can be obtained in flat/open/closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes. Among the analytic solutions, there are many interesting geodesically complete cyclic solutions in which the universe bounces at either zero or finite sizes. When geodesic completeness is imposed, it restricts models and their parameters to a certain parameter subspace, including some quantization conditions on initial conditions in the case of zero-size bounces, but no conditions on initial conditions for the case of finite-size bounces. We will explain the theoretical origin of our model from the point of view of 2T-gravity as well as from the point of view of the colliding branes scenario in the context of M-theory. We will indicate how to associate solutions of the quantum Wheeler-deWitt equation with our classical analytic solutions, mention some physical aspects of the cyclic solutions, and outline future directions.

Cosmological perturbations in f(T) gravity
We investigate the cosmological perturbations in f(T) gravity. Examining the pure gravitational perturbations in the scalar sector using a diagonal vierbein, we extract the corresponding dispersion relation, which provides a constraint on the f(T) Ansaetze that lead to a theory free of instabilities. Additionally, upon inclusion of the matter perturbations, we derive the fully perturbed equations of motion, and we study the growth of matter overdensities. We show that f(T) gravity with f(T) constant coincides with General Relativity, both at the background as well as at the first-order perturbation level. Applying our formalism to the power-law model we find that on large subhorizon scales (O(100 Mpc) or larger), the evolution of matter overdensity will differ from {Lambda}CDM cosmology. Finally, examining the linear perturbations of the vector and tensor sectors, we find that (for the standard choice of vierbein) f(T) gravity is free of massive gravitons.

Cosmic ray threshold anomaly and kinematics in the dS spacetime
We present a covariant framework of kinematics in the dS spacetime, which is a natural postulate of recent astronomical observations ($\Lambda>0)$. One-particle states are presented explicitly. It is noticed that the dispersion relation of free particles is dependent on the degrees of freedom of angular momentum and spin. This fact can be referred to as the effects of the cosmological constant on kinematics of particles. The kinematics in dS spacetime is used to investigate the phenomenon of ultra high energy cosmic rays. We emphasize the possibility of solving the threshold anomalies of the interactions between ultra high energy cosmic rays and soft photons in the covariant framework of kinematics in the dS spacetime.
