Causality and the generalized laws of black hole thermodynamics imply a bound, known as the textit{Bekenstein--Hod universal bound}, on the information emission rate of a perturbed system. Using a time-domain ringdown analysis, we investigate whether remnant black holes produced by the coalescences observed by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo obey this bound. We find that the bound is verified by the astrophysical black hole population with $94%$ probability, providing a first confirmation of the Bekenstein--Hod bound from black hole systems.
A universal geometric inequality for bodies relating energy, size, angular momentum, and charge is naturally implied by Bekensteins entropy bounds. We establi
The primary and secondary masses of the binary black holes (BBH) reported by LIGO/Virgo are correlated with a narrow dispersion that appears to increase in proportion to mass. The mean binary mass ratio $1.45pm0.07$ we show is consistent with pairs drawn randomly from the mass distribution of black holes in our Galaxy. However, BBH masses are concentrated around $simeq 30M_odot$, whereas black holes in our Galaxy peak at $simeq 10M_odot$. This mass difference can be reconciled by gravitational lensing magnification which allows distant events to be detected with typically $zsimeq 2$, so the waveform is reduced in frequency by $1+z$, and hence the measured chirp masses appear 3 times larger than their intrinsic values. This redshift enhancement also accounts for the dispersion of primary and secondary masses, both of which should increase as $1+z$, thereby appearing to scale with mass, in agreement with the data. Thus the BBH component masses provide independent support for lensing, implying most high chirp mass events have intrinsic masses like the stellar mass black holes in our Galaxy, coalescing at $z>1$, with only two low mass BBH detections, of $simeq 10M_odot$ as expected for unlensed events in the local Universe, $zsimeq 0.1$. This lensing solution requires a rapidly declining BBH event rate below $z<1$, which together with the observed absence of BBH spin suggests most events originate within young globular clusters at $z>1$, via efficient binary capture of stellar mass black holes with randomly oriented spins.
Various techniques to tackle the black hole information paradox have been proposed. A new way out to tackle the paradox is via the use of a pseudo-density operator. This approach has successfully dealt with the problem with a two qubit entangle system for a single black hole. In this paper, we present the interaction with a binary black hole system by using an arrangement of the three qubit system of Greenberger Horne Zeilinger (GHZ) state. We show that our results are in excellent agreement with the theoretical value. We have also studied the interaction between the two black holes by considering the correlation between the qubits in the binary black hole system. The results depict a complete agreement with the proposed model. In addition to the verification, we also propose how modern detection of gravitational waves can be used on our optical setup as an input source, thus bridging the gap with the gravitational waves observational resources in terms of studying black hole properties with respect to quantum information and entanglement.
The detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo provides an opportunity to test general relativity in a regime that is inaccessible to traditional astronomical observations and laboratory tests. We present four tests of the consistency of the data with binary black hole gravitational waveforms predicted by general relativity. One test subtracts the best-fit waveform from the data and checks the consistency of the residual with detector noise. The second test checks the consistency of the low- and high-frequency parts of the observed signals. The third test checks that phenomenological deviations introduced in the waveform model (including in the post-Newtonian coefficients) are consistent with zero. The fourth test constrains modifications to the propagation of gravitational waves due to a modified dispersion relation, including that from a massive graviton. We present results both for individual events and also results obtained by combining together particularly strong events from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, as collected in the catalog GWTC-1. We do not find any inconsistency of the data with the predictions of general relativity and improve our previously presented combined constraints by factors of 1.1 to 2.5. In particular, we bound the mass of the graviton to be $m_g leq 4.7 times 10^{-23} text{eV}/c^2$ ($90%$ credible level), an improvement of a factor of 1.6 over our previously presented results. Additionally, we check that the four gravitational-wave events published for the first time in GWTC-1 do not lead to stronger constraints on alternative polarizations than those published previously.
We have examined gravitational wave echo signals for nine binary black hole merger events observed by Advanced LIGO and Virgo during the first and second observation runs. To construct an echo template, we consider Kerr spacetime, where the event horizon is replaced by a reflective membrane. We use frequency-dependent reflection rate at the angular potential barrier, which is fitted to the numerical data obtained by solving Teukolsky equations. This reflection rate gives a frequency-dependent transmission rate that is suppressed at lower frequencies in the template. We also take into account the overall phase shift of the waveform as a parameter, which arises when the wave is reflected at the membrane and potential barrier. Using this template based on black hole perturbation, we find no significant echo signals in the binary black hole merger events.
