Sugawara-type constraints in hyperbolic coset models

Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

In the conjectured correspondence between supergravity and geodesic models on infinite-dimensional hyperbolic coset spaces, and E10/K(E10) in particular, the constraints play a cen…

Quantum noise of a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer with translucent mechanical oscillator

Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Daniel Friedrich, Tobias Westphal +5

Quantum fluctuations in the radiation pressure of light can excite stochastic motions of mechanical oscillators thereby realizing a linear quantum opto-mechanical coupling. When pe…

Encoding simplicial quantum geometry in group field theories

Daniele Oriti, Tamer Tlas

We show that a new symmetry requirement on the GFT field, in the context of an extended GFT formalism, involving both Lie algebra and group elements, leads, in 3d, to Feynman ampli…

The group field theory approach to quantum gravity: some recent results

Daniele Oriti

We introduce the key ideas behind the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, and the basic elements of its formalism. We also briefly report on some recent results obtaine…

On well-posedness, linear perturbations and mass conservation for axisymmetric Einstein equation

Sergio Dain, Omar E. Ortiz

For axially symmetric solutions of Einstein equations there exists a gauge which has the remarkable property that the total mass can be written as a conserved, positive definite, i…

Effective action for Einstein-Maxwell theory at order RF**4

Jose Manuel Davila, Christian Schubert

We use a recently derived integral representation of the one-loop effective action in Einstein-Maxwell theory for an explicit calculation of the part of the effective action contai…

Vacuum Electromagnetic Counterparts of Binary Black-Hole Mergers

Philipp Mösta, Carlos Palenzuela, Luciano Rezzolla +3

As one step towards a systematic modeling of the electromagnetic (EM) emission from an inspiralling black hole binary we consider a simple scenario in which the binary moves in a u…

Random template placement and prior information

Christian Röver

In signal detection problems, one is usually faced with the task of searching a parameter space for peaks in the likelihood function which indicate the presence of a signal. Random…

Polarized Electrogowdy spacetimes censored

Ernesto Nungesser

A sketch of the proof of strong cosmic censorship is presented for a class of solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, those with polarized Gowdy symmetry. A key element of the…

Gravitational waves from neutron stars: Promises and challenges

N. Andersson, V. Ferrari, D. I. Jones +5

We discuss different ways that neutron stars can generate gravitational waves, describe recent improvements in modelling the relevant scenarios in the context of improving detector…

The effects of LIGO detector noise on a 15-dimensional Markov-chain Monte-Carlo analysis of gravitational-wave signals

V. Raymond, M. V. van der Sluys, I. Mandel +3

Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave (…

Neutron star tidal disruption in mixed binaries: the imprint of the equation of state

V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri, F. Pannarale

We study the tidal disruption of neutron stars in black hole-neutron star coalescing binaries. We calculate the critical orbital separation at which the star is disrupted by the bl…

Fractal universe and quantum gravity

Gianluca Calcagni

We propose a field theory which lives in fractal spacetime and is argued to be Lorentz invariant, power-counting renormalizable, ultraviolet finite, and causal. The system flows fr…

From covariant to canonical formulations of discrete gravity

Bianca Dittrich, Philipp A Hoehn

Starting from an action for discretized gravity we derive a canonical formalism that exactly reproduces the dynamics and (broken) symmetries of the covariant formalism. For lineari…

Characteristic extraction in numerical relativity: binary black hole merger waveforms at null infinity

C. Reisswig, N. T. Bishop, D. Pollney +1

The accurate modeling of gravitational radiation is a key issue for gravitational wave astronomy. As simulation codes reach higher accuracy, systematic errors inherent in current n…

Cosmological quantum billiards

Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

The mini-superspace quantization of D=11 supergravity is equivalent to the quantization of a E10/K(E10) coset space sigma model, when the latter is restricted to the E10 Cartan sub…

Ancient solutions to the Ricci flow with pinched curvature

S. Brendle, G. Huisken, C. Sinestrari

We show that any ancient solution to the Ricci flow which satisfies a suitable curvature pinching condition must have constant sectional curvature.

Stress tensor fluctuations in de Sitter spacetime

Guillem Pérez-Nadal, Albert Roura, Enric Verdaguer

The two-point function of the stress tensor operator of a quantum field in de Sitter spacetime is calculated for an arbitrary number of dimensions. We assume the field to be in the…
