How unique is the expected stress-energy tensor of a massive scalar field?

Wolfgang Tichy, Eanna E. Flanagan

We show that the set of ambiguities in the renormalized expected stress-energy tensor allowed by the Wald axioms is much larger for a massive scalar field (an infinite number of fr…

Treating instabilities in a hyperbolic formulation of Einstein's equations

Mark A. Scheel, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Gregory B. Cook +2

We have recently constructed a numerical code that evolves a spherically symmetric spacetime using a hyperbolic formulation of Einstein's equations. For the case of a Schwarzschild…

Irrotational Binary Neutron Stars in Quasiequilibrium in General Relativity

Saul A. Teukolsky

Neutron stars in binary orbit emit gravitational waves and spiral slowly together. During this inspiral, they are expected to have very little vorticity. It is in fact a good appro…

Stable characteristic evolution of generic 3-dimensional single-black-hole spacetimes

The Binary Black Hole Grand Challenge Alliance, :, R. Gomez +42

We report new results which establish that the accurate 3-dimensional numerical simulation of generic single-black-hole spacetimes has been achieved by characteristic evolution wit…

Hot, Rotating Disks In General Relativity: Collisionless Equilibrium Models

A. Katrin Schenk, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky

We present a method for constructing equilibrium disks with net angular momentum in general relativity. The method solves the relativistic Vlasov equation coupled to Einstein's equ…
