We argue that the Black Hole-Neutron Star (BH-NS) binaries are the natural astrophysical probes of quantum gravity in the context of the new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In particular, we discuss the observable effect of enhanced black-hole mass loss in a BH-NS binary, due to the presence of an additional length scale tied to the intrinsic non-commutativity of quantum spacetime in quantum gravity.

Pulsars are some of the most accurate clocks found in nature, while black holes offer a unique arena for the study of quantum gravity. As such, pulsar-black hole (PSR-BH) binaries provide ideal astrophysical systems for detecting the effects of quant um gravity. With the success of aLIGO and the advent of instruments like the SKA and eLISA, the prospects for the discovery of such PSR-BH binaries are very promising. We argue that PSR-BH binaries can serve as ready-made testing grounds for proposed resolutions to the black hole information paradox. We propose using timing signals from a pulsar beam passing through the region near a black hole event horizon as a probe of quantum gravitational effects. In particular, we demonstrate that fluctuations of the geometry outside a black hole lead to an increase in the measured root mean square deviation of the arrival times of pulsar pulses traveling near the horizon. This allows for a clear observational test of the nonviolent nonlocality proposal for black hole information escape. For a series of pulses traversing the near-horizon region, this model predicts an rms in pulse arrival times of $sim30 mu$s for a $3 M_odot$ black hole, $sim0.3, $ms for a $30 M_odot$ black hole, and $sim40, $s for Sgr A*. The current precision of pulse time-of-arrival measurements is sufficient to discern these rms fluctuations. This work is intended to motivate observational searches for PSR-BH systems as a means of testing models of quantum gravity.
In the population synthesis simulations of Pop III stars, many BH (Black Hole)-BH binaries with merger time less than the age of the Universe $(tau_{rm H})$ are formed, while NS (Neutron Star)-BH binaries are not. The reason is that Pop III stars hav e no metal so that no mass loss is expected. Then, in the final supernova explosion to NS, much mass is lost so that the semi major axis becomes too large for Pop III NS-BH binaries to merge within $tau_{rm H}$. However it is almost established that the kick velocity of the order of $200-500{rm~ km~s^{-1}}$ exists for NS from the observation of the proper motion of the pulsar. Therefore, the semi major axis of the half of NS-BH binaries can be smaller than that of the previous argument for Pop III NS-BH binaries to decrease the merging time. We perform population synthesis Monte Carlo simulations of Pop III NS-BH binaries including the kick of NS and find that the event rate of Pop III NS-BH merger rate is $sim 1 {rm Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}}$. This suggests that there is a good chance of the detection of Pop III NS-BH mergers in O2 of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo from this autumn.
Dynamics at large redshift near the horizon of an extreme Kerr black hole are governed by an infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry. This symmetry may be exploited to analytically, rather than numerically, compute a variety of potentially observable processes. In this paper we compute and study the conformal transformation properties of the gravitational radiation emitted by an orbiting mass in the large-redshift near-horizon region.

We compute the effective potential for scalar fields in asymptotically safe quantum gravity. A scaling potential and other scaling functions generalize the fixed point values of renormalizable couplings. The scaling potential takes a non-polynomial f orm, approaching typically a constant for large values of scalar fields. Spontaneous symmetry breaking may be induced by non-vanishing gauge couplings. We strengthen the arguments for a prediction of the ratio between the masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson. Higgs inflation in the standard model is unlikely to be compatible with asymptotic safety. Scaling solutions with vanishing relevant parameters can be sufficient for a realistic description of particle physics and cosmology, leading to an asymptotically vanishing cosmological constant or dynamical dark energy.
In this manuscript we compute corrections to the global Casimir effect at zero and finite temperature due to Rainbows Gravity (parametrized by $xi$). For this we use the solutions for the scalar field with mass $m$ in the deformed Schwarzschild backg round and the corresponding quantized energies of the system, which represent the stationary states of the field and yield the stable part of the quantum vacuum energy. The analysis is made here by considering the limit for which the source mass, $M$, approaches zero, in order to verify the effects on the global Casimir effect in mini black holes near to the Planck scale, $omega_P$. We find a singular behavior for the regularized vacuum energy at zero temperature and for all the corresponding thermodynamic quantities when $m^2=omega^2_P/xi$, what can be seen as the limit of validity of the model. Furthermore, we show that the remnant Casimir tension over the event horizon in the limit $Mto 0$ is finite for any temperature and all the space of parameters. In fact we show that the remnant tension receives no corrections from Rainbows Gravity. This points to the fact that such a behavior may be an universal property of this kind of system.
