Zermelo navigation is not only a fundamental tool in Finsler geometry but
also a fundamental approach to the geometrization of dynamics in physics. In
this paper, we consider the Zermelo navigation problem on optical Riemannian
space and, via Zermelo/Randers/spacetime triangle, explore the generation of
new spacetimes from pre-existing ones. Whether the Randers metric has
reversible geodesics corresponds to the presence of time-reversal symmetry in
the generated spacetime. In cases where the Randers metric has reversible
geodesics, we utilize a radial vector field to generate new static spacetimes
from existing ones. For example, we can generate Schwarzschild, Rindler, de
Sitter, and Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetimes from flat spacetime. In fact,
the Zermelo navigation method allows for the derivation of a variety of static
spacetimes from flat spacetime. For multi-parameter spacetimes, they can be
generated through various navigation paths. However, for some spacetimes, not
all navigation paths may exist. In the second scenario, when the Randers metric
does not have reversible geodesics, we employ a rotational vector field to
transform non-flat static metrics into slowly rotating spacetimes.
Alternatively, using a mixed vector field, we generate slowly rotating
spacetimes starting from flat spacetime. We provide examples of generating Kerr
spacetimes and Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes.

Machine learning, particularly neural networks, has rapidly permeated most
activities and work where data has a story to tell. Recently, deep learning has
started to be used for solving differential equations with input from physics,
also known as Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). We present a study
showing the efficacy of PINNs for solving the Zerilli and the Regge-Wheeler
equations in the time domain to calculate the quasi-normal oscillation modes of
a Schwarzschild black hole. We compare the extracted modes with those obtained
with finite difference methods. Although the PINN results are competitive, with
a few percent differences in the quasi-normal modes estimates relative to those
computed with finite difference methods, the real power of PINNs will emerge
when applied to large dimensionality problems.
Machine learning, especially deep learning and neural networks, has become pervasive in data-driven activities and work. A recent development in this field is the use of Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve differential equations with input from physics. In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of PINNs in solving the Zerilli and Regge-Wheeler equations in the time domain to calculate the quasi-normal oscillation modes of a Schwarzschild black hole. We compare the results obtained using PINNs with those obtained using finite difference methods.
The results show that PINNs can provide competitive estimates of the quasi-normal modes, with only a few percent difference compared to the finite difference methods. However, the true potential of PINNs will be realized when they are applied to problems with large dimensionality.
Future Roadmap
In the future, there are several key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the field of PINNs:
- Scaling to Large Dimensionality: One of the main advantages of PINNs is their ability to handle high-dimensional problems. As we apply PINNs to larger and more complex systems, it will be important to ensure their scalability and efficiency. This may require further research and development of novel architectures and algorithms.
- Improving Accuracy: Although PINNs provide competitive results for the specific problem studied in this article, there is always room for improvement. Researchers should explore ways to enhance the accuracy of PINNs, perhaps through better optimization techniques, regularization methods, or model architectures.
- Robustness to Noisy and Incomplete Data: Real-world data is often noisy and incomplete. PINNs should be able to handle such data effectively and provide reliable results. Developing techniques to make PINNs more robust to noise and missing data will be crucial for their widespread application.
- Interpretability and Explainability: Neural networks, including PINNs, are often considered black boxes due to their complex and opaque nature. It is important to develop methods to interpret and explain the results obtained from PINNs. This will enable researchers and practitioners to gain insights into the underlying physics and improve trust in the models.
- Integration with Other Fields: PINNs have the potential to be integrated with other fields such as computational physics, numerical methods, and optimization. Collaborations and interdisciplinary research can lead to new breakthroughs and applications.
In conclusion, PINNs have shown promising results in solving differential equations with input from physics. As the field progresses, addressing the challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities will pave the way for the widespread adoption of PINNs in various scientific and engineering domains.

In this article, we demonstrate how black hole quasi-normal modes can emerge
from a Dirichlet brickwall model normal modes. We consider a probe scalar field
in a BTZ-geometry with a Dirichlet brickwall and demonstrate that as the wall
approaches the event horizon, the corresponding poles in the retarded
correlator become dense and yield an effective branch-cut. The associated
discontinuity of the correlator carries the information of the black hole
quasi-normal modes. We further demonstrate that a non-vanishing angular
momentum non-perturbatively enhances the pole-condensing. We hypothesize that
it is also related to quantum chaotic features of the corresponding spectral
form factor, which has been observed earlier. Finally we discuss the underlying
algebraic justification of this approximate thermalization in terms of the
trace of the algebra.
In this article, we have explored how black hole quasi-normal modes can emerge from a Dirichlet brickwall model normal modes. Our study focuses on a probe scalar field in a BTZ-geometry with a Dirichlet brickwall, and we have demonstrated that as the wall gets closer to the event horizon, the poles in the retarded correlator become dense, resulting in an effective branch-cut. The presence of this branch-cut signifies the existence of black hole quasi-normal modes.
One significant finding of our research is that a non-vanishing angular momentum plays a crucial role in enhancing the condensing of poles. This enhancement may also be linked to quantum chaotic features observed in the spectral form factor. These findings provide important insights into the relationship between quantum chaos and black hole properties.
Going forward, there are several potential challenges and opportunities for further exploration in this field. Firstly, it would be valuable to investigate the behavior of other fields, such as electromagnetic or gravitational fields, in the context of a brickwall model. This could shed light on the universality of our findings and provide a more comprehensive understanding of black hole quasi-normal modes.
Additionally, studying the effect of different geometries and boundary conditions on the emergence of quasi-normal modes could yield interesting results. It would be particularly intriguing to explore how deviations from the BTZ-geometry impact the density of poles and the associated branch-cut.
Furthermore, our hypothesis regarding the connection between pole-condensing and quantum chaotic features in the spectral form factor warrants further investigation. Exploring this relationship in more detail could offer valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of quantum chaos and its manifestation in black hole physics.
Lastly, it would be worthwhile to delve deeper into the algebraic justification of the approximate thermalization observed in terms of the trace of the algebra. Understanding the algebraic aspects of thermalization could provide a more rigorous foundation for our findings and potentially open up new avenues for research.
In conclusion, our study has revealed the emergence of black hole quasi-normal modes from a Dirichlet brickwall model. The role of angular momentum and its connection to quantum chaos have been highlighted. Future research should focus on exploring other fields, geometries, and boundary conditions, investigating the relationship between pole-condensing and quantum chaos, and further exploring the algebraic justification of thermalization.

Utilizing the recently established connection between Palatini-like gravity
and linear Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) models, we have formulated
an approach that facilitates the examination of Bose gases. Our primary focus
is on the ideal Bose-Einstein condensate and liquid helium, chosen as
illustrative examples to underscore the feasibility of tabletop experiments in
assessing gravity models. The non-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate imposes
constraints on linear GUP and Palatini $f(R)$ gravity (Eddington-inspired
Born-Infeld gravity) within the ranges of $-10^{12}lesssimsigmalesssim
3times 10^{24}{text{ s}}/{text{kg m}}$ and
$-10^{-1}lesssimbarbetalesssim 10^{11} text{ m}^2$
($-4times10^{-1}lesssimepsilonlesssim 4times 10^{11} text{ m}^2$),
respectively. In contrast, the properties of liquid helium suggest more
realistic bounds, specifically $-10^{23}lesssimsigmalesssim 10^{23}{text{
s}}/{text{kg m}}$ and $-10^{9}lesssimbarbetalesssim 10^{9} text{ m}^2$.
Additionally, we argue that the newly developed method employing Earth seismic
waves provides improved constraints for quantum and modified gravity by
approximately one order of magnitude.
