Fiducial observers and the thermal atmosphere in the black hole quantum throat
We propose a construction of fiducial observers in the throat region of near-extremal black holes within the framework of JT quantum gravity, leading to a notion of local observers in a highly quantum regime of the gravitational field. The construction is based on an earlier proposal for light-ray anchoring to the asymptotic boundary and is uniquely fixed at the semiclassical level by demanding that the notion of time translations for an observer at the asymptotic boundary of JT gravity should …

I’ve been resting up all day, taking it easy… sore throat is gone (since Wednesday night) and no snot or congestion today, just tired really.

I know we've been saying that AI should be more assertive in saying that it doesn't know rather than making shit up, but Google just flat-out lied to me.

As it happens, this *is* a Terry Pratchett quote. It's merely an early one, from Mort.

Short-Range Approximation to Casimir Wormholes Inspired by Scalar and Electric Fields
We investigate a static traversable wormhole sustained by a combination of a minimally coupled scalar field and an electric field, with exotic matter sourced by Casimir energy. Considering two scenarios, where the Casimir plate separation is either radially variable or fixed, we derive analytical near-throat solutions for both massless and massive scalar fields. To ensure consistency of the field equations, a thermal tensor is also incorporated, consisting solely of pressure terms that vanish a…

Real-time speech enhancement in noise for throat microphone using neural audio codec as foundation model
We present a real-time speech enhancement demo using speech captured with a throat microphone. This demo aims to showcase the complete pipeline, from recording to deep learning-based post-processing, for speech captured in noisy environments with a body-conducted microphone. The throat microphone records skin vibrations, which naturally attenuate external noise, but this robustness comes at the cost of reduced audio bandwidth. To address this challenge, we fine-tune Kyutai's Mimi--a neural audi…

Hyperbolic Casimir-like wormhole
We present a systematic study of exact solutions for traversable wormhole geometries in a static and hyperbolic symmetric spacetime. In the conventional form of studying wormhole geometry, traversability requires the presence of exotic matter, which also provides negative gravity effects to keep the wormhole throat open. Using hyperbolic symmetry we obtain a solution already provided with negative energy density that replaces this effect and allows us to derive wormhole geometries that effectiv…

Near-extremal quantum cross-section for charged fields and superradiance
We study the scattering and absorption properties of charged scalar fields on a near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole background. We show that in this low-temperature regime the near-horizon throat experiences large quantum fluctuations, whose leading contribution is described by the one dimensional Schwarzian effective action, while the soft $U(1)$ gauge modes can only contribute to subleading order. We investigate the role of the leading quantum effects both inside and outside the supe…

Constraints on DBI dark energy with chameleon mechanism
In this work, we investigate the Dirac Born Infeld chameleon scalar field model in light of the latest cosmological observations, analyzing the model both with the incorporation of the chameleon mechanism and without it. Results from current cosmological observations, such as Pantheon Plus, DES Y5, DESI DR2, and the compressed Planck likelihood, are used to constrain the model. We consider the AdS throat in the form of $f(ϕ) = λ/ ϕ^4$ and a potential $V(ϕ) = m_0^2 ϕ^2 + m_1^2 ϕ^4$ .One in…

Dehnen-type dark matter wormholes in the $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{L}_m,\mathcal{T})$ action
We are exploring the possibility of traversable wormholes existing in a more realistic context. Specifically, we are looking at scenarios that don't rely on exotic factors, like having a mass shell at the throat or allowing particles and antiparticles to coexist without annihilation. To do this, we are constructing wormholes with double power-law density distributions, drawing inspiration from the Dehnen-type dark matter halo in the framework of generalized geometry-matter coupling gravity. Our…

Near-extremal dynamics away from the horizon
Near-extremal black holes are usually studied by zooming into the throat that describes their near-horizon geometry. Within this throat, one can argue that two-dimensional JT gravity is the appropriate effective theory that dominates at low temperature. Here, we discuss how to capture this effective description by standing far away from the horizon. Our strategy is to construct a phase space within gravitational theories in AdS$_{d+1}$ that fixes the radial dependence while keeping the transver…

Evolving Wormholes in a Cosmological Background
Wormholes are non-trivial topological structures that arise as exact solutions to Einstein's field equations, theoretically connecting distinct regions of spacetime via a throat-like geometry. While static traversable wormholes necessarily require exotic matter that violates the classical energy conditions, subsequent studies have sought to minimize such violations by introducing time-dependent geometries embedded within cosmological backgrounds. This review provides a comprehensive survey of e…

Traversable Kaluza-Klein wormholes?
Various authors have suggested that Kaluza--Klein variants of traversable wormholes might to some extent ameliorate the defocussing properties (the curvature condition violations, and implied energy condition violations) inherent in positing the existence of a traversable wormhole throat. We shall show that in a Kaluza--Klein context the price paid for completely eliminating the defocussing properties of the wormhole throat is extremely high -- the 5th dimension has to become truly enormous (fo…

Closed timelike curves in PT-symmetric wormholes
We investigate a modified Einstein-Rosen wormhole model, made unidirectionally traversable through a bimetric geometry defined by two regular metrics, g(+) and g(-), and characterized by PT symmetry combining time reversal (t -> -t) and spatial inversion (x -> -x). In this framework, two distinct spacetime regions are identified at the wormhole throat (r = alpha) via PT symmetry, forming a single spacetime sheet. This model employs Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates to eliminate coordinate singu…

A viable wormhole model in a five-dimensional spacetime
This paper generalizes two of the author's earlier wormhole solutions that are characterized by an extra spatial dimension. This paper adds the assumption that the components of the line element are functions not only of the radial coordinate $r$ but of the extra coordinate $l$ as well, resulting in a significant generalization. It is shown that the throat of the wormhole can be threaded with ordinary matter and that the unavoidable violation of the null energy condition can be attributed to th…

Observing an accretion disk inside a wormhole shadow
The paper considers the problem of the possibility of observing an accretion disk through the throat of the Ellis-Bronnikov-Morris-Thorne wormhole. It is shown that this image has a complex structure and is fundamentally different from the image of an accretion disk around a black hole. Images of the accretion disk are presented at various angles between the plane of the disk and the observer's line of sight.
