Tidal stellar disruptions by massive black hole pairs: II. Decaying binaries

Xian Chen, Alberto Sesana, Piero Madau +1

Tidal stellar disruptions have traditionally been discussed as a probe of the single, massive black holes (MBHs) that are dormant in the nuclei of galaxies. In Chen et al. (2009),…

U-duality and non-BPS solutions

Gianguido Dall'Agata, Stefano Giusto, Clement Ruef

We derive the explicit action of the U-duality group of the STU model on both BPS and non-BPS extremal multi-center solutions. As the class of known non-BPS extremal solutions is n…

Late-time behaviour of the Einstein-Vlasov system with Bianchi I symmetry

Ernesto Nungesser

The late-time behaviour of the Einstein-dust system is well understood for homogeneous spacetimes. For the case of Bianchi I we have been able to show that the late-time behaviour…

Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter II.2: Quantum Strings in AdS5xS5

Tristan McLoughlin

We review the semiclassical analysis of strings in AdS5xS5 with a focus on the relationship to the underlying integrable structures. We discuss the perturbative calculation of ener…

Horizon area--angular momentum inequality for a class of axially symmetric black holes

Andrés Aceña, Sergio Dain, María E. Gabach Clément

We prove an inequality between horizon area and angular momentum for a class of axially symmetric black holes. This class includes initial conditions with an isometry which leaves…

Quantum Gowdy model within the new loop quantum cosmology improved dynamics

M Martín-Benito, L J Garay, G A Mena Marugán

The linearly polarized Gowdy model can be regarded as compact Bianchi I cosmologies with inhomogeneous modes allowed to travel in one direction. We study a hybrid quantizatio…

On the structure of the ergosurface of Pomeransky-Senkov black rings

Julien Cortier

We study the properties of the ergosurface of the Pomeransky-Senkov black rings, and show that it splits into an "inner"' and an "outer" region. As for the singular set, the topolo…

Integral invariants in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories

G. Bossard, P. S. Howe, U. Lindstrom +2

Integral invariants in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are discussed in spacetime dimensions for gauge groups. It is shown that, in addition t…

The Universal RG Machine

Dario Benedetti, Kai Groh, Pedro F. Machado +1

Functional Renormalization Group Equations constitute a powerful tool to encode the perturbative and non-perturbative properties of a physical system. We present an algorithm to sy…

Matter in inhomogeneous loop quantum cosmology: the Gowdy model

Mercedes Martín-Benito, Daniel Martín-de Blas, Guillermo A. Mena Marugán

We apply a hybrid approach which combines loop and Fock quantizations to fully quantize the linearly polarized Gowdy model in the presence of a massless scalar field with the…

Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories

S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136

Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…

Oscillator Construction of su(n|m) Q-Operators

Rouven Frassek, Tomasz Lukowski, Carlo Meneghelli +1

We generalize our recent explicit construction of the full hierarchy of Baxter Q-operators of compact spin chains with su(n) symmetry to the supersymmetric case su(n|m). The method…

Forced motion near black holes

Jonathan R. Gair, Eanna E. Flanagan, Steve Drasco +2

We present two methods for integrating forced geodesic equations in the Kerr spacetime, which can accommodate arbitrary forces. As a test case, we compute inspirals under a simple…

A simple proof of orientability in colored group field theory

Francesco Caravelli

In this short note we use results from the theory of crystallizations to prove that color in group field theories garantees orientability of the piecewise linear pseudo-manifolds a…

Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter VI.1: Superconformal Symmetry

Niklas Beisert

Aspects of the D=4, N=4 superconformal symmetry relevant to the AdS/CFT duality and integrability are reviewed. These include the Lie superalgebra psu(2,2|4), its representations,…

Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter III.1: Bethe Ansätze and the R-Matrix Formalism

Matthias Staudacher

The one-dimensional Heisenberg XXX spin chain appears in a special limit of the AdS/CFT integrable system. We review various ways of proving its integrability, and discuss the asso…

Supersymmetric P(X,phi) and the Ghost Condensate

Justin Khoury, Jean-Luc Lehners, Burt Ovrut

We show how to construct supersymmetric actions for higher-derivative scalar field theories of the form P(X,phi), within the context of d=4, N=1 supersymmetry. This construction is…
