The extended scalar-tensor and vector-tensor theories admit black hole solutions with the nontrivial profiles of the scalar and vector fields, respectively. The disformal transformation maps a solution in a class of the scalar-tensor or vector-tensor theories to that in another class, and hence it can be a useful tool to construct a new nontrivial solution from the known one. First, we investigate how the stationary and axisymmetric solutions in the vector-tensor theories without and with the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry are disformally transformed. We start from a stationary and axisymmetric solution satisfying the circularity conditions, and show that in both the cases the metric of the disformed solution in general does not satisfy the circularity conditions. Using the fact that a solution in a class of the vector-tensor theories with the vanishing field strength is mapped to that in a class of the shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theories, we derive the disformed stationary and axisymmetric solutions in a class of these theories, and show that the metric of the disformed solutions does not satisfy the circularity conditions if the scalar field depends on the time or azimuthal coordinate. We also confirm that in the scalar-tensor theories without the shift symmetry, the disformed stationary and axisymmetric solutions satisfy the circularity conditions. Second, we investigate the disformal transformations of the stationary and axisymmetric black hole solutions in the generalized Proca theory with the nonminimal coupling to the Einstein tensor, the shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theory with the nonminimal derivative coupling to the Einstein tensor, the Einstein-Maxwell theory, and the Einstein-conformally coupled scalar field theory. We show that the disformal transformations modify the causal properties of the spacetime.

Disformal transformation provides a map relating different scalar-tensor and vector-tensor theories and gives access to a powerful solution-generating method in modified gravity. In view of the vast family of new solutions one can achieve, it is crucial to design suitable tools to guide their construction. In this work, we address this question by revisiting the Petrov classification of disformally constructed solutions in modified gravity theories. We provide close formulas which relate the principal null directions as well as the Weyl scalars before and after the disformal transformation. These formulas allow one to capture if and how the Petrov type of a given seed geometry changes under a disformal transformation. Finally, we apply our general setup to three relevant disformally constructed solutions for which the seeds are respectively homogeneous and isotropic, static spherically symmetric and stationary axisymmetric. For the first two cases, we show that the Petrov type O and Petrov type D remain unchanged after a disformal transformation while we show that disformed Kerr black hole is no longer of type D but of general Petrov type I. The results presented in this work should serve as a new toolkit when constructing and comparing new disformal solutions in modified gravity.
We study thermodynamics in $f(R)$ gravity with the disformal transformation. The transformation applied to the matter Lagrangian has the form of $g_{m } = A(phi,X)g_{m } + B(phi,X)pa_mfpa_ f$ with the assumption of the Minkowski matter metric $g_{m } = e_{m }$, where $phi$ is the disformal scalar and $X$ is the corresponding kinetic term of $phi$. We verify the generalized first and second laws of thermodynamics in this disformal type of $f(R)$ gravity in the Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. In addition, we show that the Hubble parameter contains the disformally induced terms, which define the effectively varying equations of state for matter.
Primordial cosmological perturbations are the seeds that were cultivated by inflation and the succeeding dynamical processes, eventually leading to the current Universe. In this work, we investigate the behavior of the gauge-invariant scalar and tensor perturbations under the general extended disformal transformation, namely, $g_{mu u} rightarrow A(X,Y,Z)g_{mu u} + Phi_muPhi_ u$, where $X equiv -tfrac{1}{2}phi^{;mu}phi_{;mu}, Y equiv phi^{;mu}X_{;mu}, Z equiv X^{;mu}X_{;mu} $ and $Phi_mu equiv Cphi_{;mu} + DX_{;mu}$, with $C$ and $D$ being a general functional of $(phi,X,Y,Z)$. We find that the tensor perturbation is invariant under this transformation. On the other hand, the scalar curvature perturbation receives a correction due the conformal term only; it is independent of the disformal term at least up to linear order. Within the framework of the full Horndeski theory, the correction terms turn out to depend linearly on the gauge-invariant comoving density perturbation and the first time-derivative thereof. In the superhorizon limit, all these correction terms vanish, leaving only the original scalar curvature perturbation. In other words, it is invariant under the general extended disformal transformation in the superhorizon limit, in the context of full Horndeski theory. Our work encompasses a chain of research studies on the transformation or invariance of the primordial cosmological perturbations, generalizing their results under our general extended disformal transformation.
Non-minimally coupled curvature-matter gravity models are an interesting alternative to the Theory of General Relativity and to address the dark energy and dark matter cosmological problems. These models have complex field equations that prevent a full analytical study. Nonetheless, in a particular limit, the behavior of a matter distribution can, in these models, be described by a Schrodinger-Newton system. In nonlinear optics, the Schrodinger-Newton system can be used to tackle a wide variety of relevant situations and several numerical tools have been developed for this purpose. Interestingly, these methods can be adapted to study General Relativity problems as well as its extensions. In this work, we report the use of these numerical tools to study a particular non-minimal coupling model that introduces two new potentials, an attractive Yukawa potential and a repulsive potential proportional to the energy density. Using the imaginary-time propagation method we have shown that stationary solutions arise even at low energy density regimes.
We investigate how physical quantities associated with relativistic stars in the Jordan and Einstein frames are related by the generalized disformal transformations constructed by the scalar and vector fields within the slow-rotation approximation. We consider the most general scalar disformal transformation constructed by the scalar field, and by the vector field without and with the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, respectively. At the zeroth order of the slow-rotation approximation, by imposing that both the metrics of the Jordan and Einstein frames are asymptotically flat, we show that the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass is frame invariant. At the first order of the slow-rotation approximation, we discuss the disformal transformations of the frame-dragging function, angular velocity, angular momentum, and moment of inertia of the star. We show that the angular velocity of the star is frame invariant in all the cases. While the angular momentum and moment of inertia are invariant under the scalar disformal transformation, they are not under the vector disformal transformation without and with the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry.
