Hyperboloidal foliations with scri-fixing in spherical symmetry

Anil Zenginoglu, Sascha Husa

We study in spherical symmetry the conformal compactification for hyperboloidal foliations with nonvanishing constant mean curvature. The conformal factor and the coordinates are c…

Geometry for the accelerating universe

Raffaele Punzi, Frederic P. Schuller, Mattias N. R. Wohlfarth

The Lorentzian spacetime metric is replaced by an area metric which naturally emerges as a generalized geometry in quantum string and gauge theory. Employing the area metric curvat…

Constraint-preserving Sommerfeld conditions for the harmonic Einstein equations

M. C. Babiuc, H-O. Kreiss, Jeffrey Winicour

The principle part of Einstein equations in the harmonic gauge consists of a constrained system of 10 curved space wave equations for the components of the space-time metric. A new…

Extracting Information about EMRIs using Time-Frequency Methods

Linqing Wen, Yanbei Chen, Jonathan Gair

The inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into supermassive black holes are some of the most exciting sources of gravitational waves for LISA. Detection of these sources using…

An all-optical trap for a gram-scale mirror

T. Corbitt, Y. Chen, H. Mueller-Ebhardt +7

We report on a stable optical trap suitable for a macroscopic mirror, wherein the dynamics of the mirror are fully dominated by radiation pressure. The technique employs two freque…

The Zamolodchikov-Faddeev Algebra for AdS_5 x S^5 Superstring

Gleb Arutyunov, Sergey Frolov, Marija Zamaklar

We discuss the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra for the superstring sigma-model on AdS_5 x S^5. We find the canonical su(2|2)^2 invariant S-matrix satisfying the standard Yang-Baxter…

Glueballs vs. Gluinoballs: Fluctuation Spectra in Non-AdS/Non-CFT

Marcus Berg, Michael Haack, Wolfgang Muck

Building on earlier results on holographic bulk dynamics in confining gauge theories, we compute the spin-0 and spin-2 spectra of gauge theories dual to the non-singular Maldacena-…

Conformal Symmetry and the Standard Model

Krzysztof A. Meissner, Hermann Nicolai

We re-examine the question of radiative symmetry breaking in the standard model in the presence of right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector. We demonstrate tha…

Celestial mechanics of elastic bodies

Robert Beig, Bernd G. Schmidt

We construct time independent configurations of two gravitating elastic bodies. These configurations either correspond to the two bodies moving in a circular orbit around their cen…

An explicit harmonic code for black-hole evolution using excision

Bela Szilagyi, Denis Pollney, Luciano Rezzolla +2

We describe an explicit in time, finite-difference code designed to simulate black holes by using the excision method. The code is based upon the harmonic formulation of the Einste…

Gravitational waves from Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals in non-pure Kerr spacetimes

Enrico Barausse, Luciano Rezzolla, David Petroff +1

To investigate the imprint on the gravitational-wave emission from extreme mass-ratio inspirals in non-pure Kerr spacetimes, we have studied the ``kludge'' waveforms generated in h…

Binary black hole late inspiral: Simulations for gravitational wave observations

John G. Baker, Sean T. McWilliams, James R. van Meter +4

Coalescing binary black hole mergers are expected to be the strongest gravitational wave sources for ground-based interferometers, such as the LIGO, VIRGO, and GEO600, as well as t…
