We discuss and classify all four dimensional black hole solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-Lambda theory. These solutions contain a black hole region with an event horizon. The cosmological constant can be nonzero and the black hole may possess electric and magnetic charge. We classify solutions according to their asymptotic behavior. Three major parts are asymptotic-flat, asymptotic-de Sitter and asymptotic-Anti-de Sitter and in all of them we discuss Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, Kerr and Kerr-Newman black holes separately. Black holes can also have NUT charge and acceleration parameter which make the solution singular in one direction. As a result, these solutions are asymptotically... 

Black holes are a general set of solutions of Einstein’s general relativity. Their most important feature is the horizon, which is basically a region that separates the space-time into two causally disconnected regions. Studying the general features of black holes, classifying this family of solutions and studying the dynamics of particles and fields in the background of a given black hole are famous subjects in the field of classical black hole physics which are going to be covered in this thesis. By putting different conditions on the equations, we will get different solutions like Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, Kerr, Kerr-Newman and etc, each of them having specific features. Then we... 

The phase space of the Near Horizon of Extremal Geometries has been studied in ”arXiv:1506.07181”. The phase space for the NHEGs consists of the space of all near horizon geometries with a given symmetry. Utilizing covariant phase space method we will build the symplectic two form on the phase space and will use it to define the notion of symplectic symmetry. The conserved charges corresponding to this symmetries form a symmetry algebra which is called NHEG algebra. It turns out that this algebra is a generalization of the celebrated Virasoro algebra. In this thesis we will first review necessary concepts for construction of the phase space of a Lagrangian field theory and will build the... 

We know the matter can curve the space-time according to the general theory of relativity. On the other hand Quantum Field Theory has been formulated in a flat space-time and we cannot use most of its techniques within a curved space-time. Formulating the Quantum Field Theory in curved space-time is important for various subjects in physics like early universe or black hole physics. We will review the formulating QFT in cosmological background and will look for observable consequences on Cosmological Microwave Background in this thesis  

The cosmic inflation paradigmwas first introduced as a possible solution to the standardBig Bang cosmology problems. [1]. The inflationary models not only provide a solutionfor so the called flatness and horizon problems, but also they predict perturbations asprimordial seeds of large scale structures of Universe. Inflationary models can connecthigh-energy physics to the experiments. There is a mutual relation between inflationand high energy physics. It is necessary to find a fundamental description of inflationarymechanism and on the other hand the observational predictions of inflationary modelscan put bound on free parameters of associated fundamental theories. Thanks to vastdata... 

There are different approaches in modifications of General Relativity as the theory of gravity. The modified theories of gravity are important cases in this context, which mostly start by modifying the Einstein-Hilbert action, while keeping the general covariance. Within the modified theories of gravity, we consider two cases. The first is the f(R) theories of gravity, and the second is curvature squared theories of gravity with an action like S = ∫d4x pg( 116GR + (R)2 + R2 +(R)2). Curvature squared theories of gravity have interesting feautures, most important of which is renormalizability, in contrast with General Relativity. But this advantage, as noted by K.S. Stelle in 1977 comes at... 

Multiverse scenario has been recently addressed by physicists and they have found it useful in many areas of physics. In this dissertation, I have treated some issues about multiverse such as the kinds of multiverses, the arguments for or against multiverse, areas in which multiverse is introduced, etc. This dissertation has six chapters and an appendix. In the chapter one, some classifications of multiverse is introduced, and also some definitions of the concept of a world is presented. Then, my classification and definition of a multiverse and a world is introduced. In the chapter two, the concept of possible worlds in philosophy and its relationship with multiverse hypothesis is examined.... 

Near Horizon Extremal Geometries (NHEG), are geometries which may appear in the near horizon region of the extremal black holes. These geometries have SL(2;R)U(1)n isometry, and constitute a family of solutions to the theory under consideration. In the first part of this report,their thermodynamic properties are reviewed, and their three universal laws are derived. In addition, at the end of the first part, the role of these laws in black hole thermodynamics is presented. In the second part of this thesis, we review building their classical phase space in the Einstein-Hilbert theory. The elements in the NHEG phase space manifold are built by appropriately chosen coordinate transformations of... 

In every theory with local symmetries, observales are mainly the gauge invariant quantities and fields are defined up to a local transformation.By choosing boundary conditions on field configurations and on the generating functions of gauge transformations, we can associate conserved charges to a particular subset of the generating functions. Thus field combinations which are related by these particular gauge transformations are physically distinct. These set of conserved charges usually form infinite-dimensional algebras such as Virasoro or BMS algebra. In addition, sets of all combinations of the associated fields form a phase space with a symplectic structure induced form the action of... 

In this paper, a new method for handling power plants preventive maintenance scheduling problem is proposed in which a decentralized framework is applied in order to help the electricity markets to prevent data sharing. The new approach is the extension of alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) along with several heuristics and refinements to omit the effect of non-convexity of the problem. Since, the new methodmerely needs minimal information exchange, it is completely practical. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a case study based on generating system of Iran is presented. It is shown that the proposed model obtains acceptable results  

In this thesis, we propose a QoS-aware routing algorithm for multimedia streaming that uses cross-layer information (application layer and physical layer) in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN). Our goal is to use cross-layer information to route video packets efficiently and deliver a higher quality video in streaming applications. Our QoS-Aware Multi-Path Selection (QAMPS) method is based on multi-path multi-priority selection algorithm that uses Two-Phase geographic Greedy Forwarding (TPGF) as a routing algorithm. The proposed method guarantees QoS by splitting video streams into I-frames, P-frames and B-frames in the application layer and passes them to the network layer for... 

In this dissertation, the application of frequency and space diversities in radar target parameter estimation are investigated. On this basis, multi-frequency signal is used to improve the range resolution, array structure is used to increase the angle estimation accuracy and the merger of the multi-frequency signal and array structure are used to increase the maximum number of targets that can be uniquely identified.Considering the desirable properties of multi-frequency signals such as high bandwidth efficiency, high range resolution achievement without chip length decrease and …, there has been increased interest in the vast area of research on the design of such signals that has...
