Gravitational Lensing and Shadow of a Black Hole in Bumblebee Gravity

Analysis

This paper explores the strong gravitational lensing and shadow properties of a black hole within the framework of bumblebee gravity, which incorporates a global monopole charge and Lorentz symmetry breaking. The study aims to identify observational signatures that could potentially validate or refute bumblebee gravity in the strong-field regime by analyzing how these parameters affect lensing observables and shadow morphology. This is significant because it provides a way to test alternative theories of gravity using astrophysical observations.
Reference

“The results indicate that both the global monopole charge and Lorentz-violating parameters significantly influence the photon sphere, lensing observables, and shadow morphology, potentially providing observational signatures for testing bumblebee gravity in the strong-field regime.”

S-Duality for Non-Abelian Monopoles

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper provides a general proof of S-duality in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory for non-Abelian monopoles. It addresses a significant gap in the understanding of S-duality beyond the maximally broken phase, offering a more complete picture of the theory's behavior. The construction of magnetic gauge transformation operators is a key contribution, allowing for the realization of the $H^s \times (H^{\vee})^s$ symmetry.
Reference

“Each BPS monopole state is naturally labeled by a weight of the relevant $W$-boson representation of $(H^{\vee})^{s}$.”
