We prove that under the dominant energy condition any non-degenerate smooth compact totally geodesic horizon admits a smooth tangent vector field of constant non-zero surface gravity. This result generalizes previous work by Isenberg and Moncrief, and by Bustamante and Reiris to the non-vacuum case, the vacuum case being given a largely independent proof. Moreover, we prove that any such achronal non-degenerate horizon is actually a Cauchy horizon bounded on one side by a chronology violating region.

In this study, we present a generalized spherically symmetric, anisotropic and static compact stellar model in $f(T)$ gravity, where $T$ represents the torsion scalar. By employing the Karmarkar condition we have obtained embedding class 1 metric fro
m the general spherically metric of class 2 and the solutions of the Einstein field equations (EFE) has been presented with the choice of suitable parametric values of $n$ under a simplified linear form of $f(T)$ gravity reads as $f(T)=A+BT$, where $A$ and $B$ are two constants. By matching the interior spacetime metric with the exterior Schwarzschild metric at the surface and considering the values of mass and radius of the compact stars we obtain the values of the unknown constants. We have presented further a detailed analysis of the physical acceptability and examined the stability of the stellar configuration by studying the energy conditions, generalized Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov (TOV) equation, Herrera cracking concept, adiabatic index, etc. In the investigation, we predict numerical values of the central density, surface density, central pressure, etc., in a tabular form taking different values of $n$ specifically for $LMC~X-4$, $Cen~X-3$ and $SMC~X-1$ as the representative of compact star candidates.
Recent research has highlighted the non-uniqueness problem of energy-momentum tensors in linearized gravity; many different tensors are published in the literature, yet for particular calculations a unique expression is required. It has been shown th
at (A) none of these spin-2 energy-momentum tensors are gauge invariant and (B) the Noether and Hilbert energy-momentum tensors are not, in general, equivalent; therefore uniqueness criteria is difficult to specify. Conventional wisdom states that the various published energy-momentum tensors for linearized gravity can be derived from the canonical Noether energy-momentum tensor of spin-2 Fierz-Pauli theory by adding ad-hoc improvement terms (the divergence of a superpotential and terms proportional to the equations of motion), that these superpotentials are in some way unique or physically significant, and that this implies some meaningful connection to the Noether procedure. To explore this question of uniqueness, we consider the most general possible energy-momentum tensor for linearized gravity with free coefficients using the Fock method. We express this most general energy-momentum tensor as the canonical Noether tensor, supplemented by the divergence of a general superpotential plus all possible terms proportional to the equations of motion. We then derive systems of equations which we solve in order to prove several key results for spin-2 Fierz-Pauli theory, most notably that there are infinitely many conserved energy-momentum tensors derivable from the improvement method, and there are infinitely many conserved symmetric energy-momentum tensors that follow from specifying the Belinfante superpotential alone. $dots$ since there are infinitely many energy-momentum tensors of this form, no meaningful or unique connection to Noethers first theorem can be claimed by application of the canonical Noether improvement method.
The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) states that the integral along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the tangent vector to the geodesic cannot be negative. ANEC can be used to rule out spacetimes with e
xotic phenomena, such as closed timelike curves, superluminal travel and wormholes. We prove that ANEC is obeyed by a minimally-coupled, free quantum scalar field on any achronal null geodesic (not two points can be connected with a timelike curve) surrounded by a tubular neighborhood whose curvature is produced by a classical source. To prove ANEC we use a null-projected quantum inequality, which provides constraints on how negative the weighted average of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a quantum field can be. Starting with a general result of Fewster and Smith, we first derive a timelike projected quantum inequality for a minimally-coupled scalar field on flat spacetime with a background potential. Using that result we proceed to find the bound of a quantum inequality on a geodesic in a spacetime with small curvature, working to first order in the Ricci tensor and its derivatives. The last step is to derive a bound for the null-projected quantum inequality on a general timelike path. Finally we use that result to prove achronal ANEC in spacetimes with small curvature.
There are many logically and computationally distinct characterizations of the surface gravity of a horizon, just as there are many logically rather distinct notions of horizon. Fortunately, in standard general relativity, for stationary horizons, mo
st of these characterizations are degenerate. However, in modified gravity, or in analogue spacetimes, horizons may be non-Killing or even non-null, and hence these degeneracies can be lifted. We present a brief overview of the key issues, specifically focusing on horizons in analogue spacetimes and universal horizons in modified gravity.
Reasonable spacetimes are non-compact and of dimension larger than two. We show that these spacetimes are globally hyperbolic if and only if the causal diamonds are compact. That is, there is no need to impose the causality condition, as it can be de
duced. We also improve the definition of global hyperbolicity for the non-regular theory (non $C^{1,1}$ metric) and for general cone structures by proving the following convenient characterization for upper semi-continuous cone distributions: causality and the causally convex hull of compact sets is compact. In this case the causality condition cannot be dropped, independently of the spacetime dimension. Similar results are obtained for causal simplicity.
