Supermassive Primordial Black Holes for Nano-Hertz Gravitational Waves and High-redshift JWST Galaxies

Recently,observational hints for supermassive black holes have been accumulating,prompting the question:Can primordial black holes(PBHs)be supermassive,particularly with masses M■10^(9)M_(⊙)?A supercritical bubble,containing an inflating baby universe,that nucleated during inflation can evolve into a PBH in our observable universe.We find that when the inflaton slowly transitions past a neighboring vacuum,the nucleation rate of supercritical bubbles inevitably peaks,leading to a mass distribution of multiverse PBHs with a peak mass up to M■10^(11)M_(⊙).Thus,our mechanism naturally provides a primordial origin for supermassive black holes.

Advancing space-based gravitational wave astronomy: Rapid parameter estimation via normalizing flows

Gravitational wave(GW) astronomy is witnessing a transformative shift from terrestrial to space-based detection, with missions like Taiji at the forefront. While the transition brings unprecedented opportunities for exploring massive black hole binaries(MBHBs), it also imposes complex challenges in data analysis, particularly in parameter estimation amidst confusion noise.Addressing this gap, we utilize scalable normalizing flow models to achieve rapid and accurate inference within the Taiji environment. Innovatively, our approach simplifies the data's complexity, employs a transformation mapping to overcome the year-period time-dependent response function, and unveils additional multimodality in the arrival time parameter. Our method estimates MBHBs several orders of magnitude faster than conventional techniques, maintaining high accuracy even in complex backgrounds. These findings significantly enhance the efficiency of GW data analysis, paving the way for rapid detection and alerting systems and enriching our ability to explore the universe through space-based GW observation.

Gravidynamics,spinodynamics and electrodynamics within the framework of gravitational quantum field theory

By noticing the fact that the charged leptons and quarks in the standard model are chirality-based Dirac spinors since their weak interaction violates maximally parity symmetry though they behave as Dirac fermions in electromagnetic interaction,we show that such a chirality-based Dirac spinor possesses not only electric charge gauge symmetry U(1)but also inhomogeneous spin gauge symmetry WS(1,3)=SP(1,3)?W1,3,which reveals the nature of gravity and spacetime.The gravitational force and spin gauge force are governed by the gauge symmetries W1,3and SP(1,3),respectively,and a biframe spacetime with globally fiat Minkowski spacetime as base spacetime and locally fiat gravigauge spacetime as a fiber is described by the gravigauge field through emergent non-commutative geometry.The gauge-geometry duality and renormalizability in gravitational quantum field theory(GQFT)are carefully discussed.A detailed analysis and systematic investigation on gravidynamics and spinodynamics as well as electrodynamics are carried out within the framework of GQFT.A full discussion on the generalized Dirac equation and Maxwell equation as well as Einstein equation and spin gauge equation is made in biframe spacetime.New effects of gravidynamics as extension of general relativity are particularly analyzed.All dynamic equations of basic fields are demonstrated to preserve the spin gauge covariance and general coordinate covariance due to the spin gauge symmetry and emergent general linear group symmetry GL(1,3,R),so they hold naturally in any spinning reference frame and motional reference frame.

Exploring the nature of black hole and gravity with an imminent merging binary of supermassive black holes

A supermassive binary black-hole candidate SDSS J1430+2303 reported recently motivates us to investigate an imminent binary of supermassive black holes as potential gravitational wave source, and the radiated gravitational waves at the end of the merger are shown to be in the band of space-borne detectors. We provide a general analysis on the required detecting sensitivity needed for probing such type gravitational wave sources and make a full discussion by considering two typically designed configurations of space-borne antennas. If a source is so close, it is possible to be detected with Taiji pathfinder-plus which is proposed to be an extension for the planned Taiji pathfinder by just adding an additional satellite to the initial two satellites. The gravitational wave detection on such kind of source enables us to explore the properties of supermassive black holes and the nature of gravity.

Vector meson effects on multi-Skyrmion states from the rational map ansatz

The roles of the lightest vector mesons ρ and ω in the multi-Skyrmion states are studied using the hidden local symmetry approach up to the next-to-leading order,including the homogeneous Wess-Zumino terms.The low-energy constants in the effective field theory are determined using the Sakai-Sugimoto model and the flat-space five-dimensional Yang-Mills action.With only two inputs,m_(ρ) and f_(π),it is possible to determine all low-energy constants without ambiguity.The vector meson effects can be investigated by sequentially integrating vector mesons,and their geometry can be elucidated by comparing the results using the low-energy constants estimated from the Sakai-Sugimoto model and the flat-space five-dimensional Yang-Mills action.We found that theρmeson reduces the masses of the multi-Skyrmion states and increases the overlaps of their constituents,whereas theωmeson repulses the constituents of the multi-Skyrmion states and increases their masses.Therefore,these vector mesons are crucial in the Skyrme model approach to nuclei.We also found that the warping factor,an essential element in the holographic model of QCD,affects the properties of the multi-Skyrmion states and cannot be ignored.
