To explain black hole thermodynamics in quantum gravity, one must introduce constraints to ensure that a black hole is actually present. I show that for a large class of black holes, such ``horizon constraints'' allow the use of conformal…

In this paper, exact asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in the context of symmetric teleparallel gravity, i.e., $f(Q)$ theory of gravity, are investigated. Since modified theories of gravity provide new field equations, we have analyzed…

We present new traversable wormhole and non-singular black hole solutions in pure, scale-free $R^2$ gravity. These exotic solutions require no null energy condition violating or "exotic" matter and are supported only by the vacuum of the…

We investigate the quantum stability of a timelike topological wormhole with a simple geometry $M_2 \times S^2$, supported classically by anisotropic fluid. We compute the one-loop quantum backreaction generated by the vacuum fluctuations…

The Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity is conventionally formulated in terms of the Einstein-Hilbert-York-Gibbons-Hawking action, which requires suitable subtractions to produce the correct black hole partition function.…

The geometry of three-dimensional space guides the search for a better model than the blackhole with its unwelcome singularity. An elementary construction produces on the 4-manifold of 2-spheres in a Riemannian 3-space a space-time metric…

A gravitational scenario is proposed where the euclidean action is invariant under the isotropic and homogeneous version of the euclidean {\it U(1)} group of local transformations of the scale factor and scalar matter field, interpreting…

In this note we introduce a method to calculate the finite volume corrections to the mean field results for the free energy when replica symmetry is broken at one-step. We find that the naive results are modified by the presence of…

In this work, we introduce a novel set of asymptotically flat wormhole solutions within the framework of $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. Considering a linear $f(R,T)=R+ 2\lambda T$ form, we show that a wide variety of wormhole solutions with…

In this paper, we explore wormhole solutions in a higher-derivative theory of gravity where the action depends not only on the Ricci scalar \(R\), but also on its d'Alembertian, \(\Box R\). Such \(f(R,\Box R)\) models are motivated by…
