Reconstructing the sky location of gravitational-wave detected compact binary systems: methodology for testing and comparison

Trevor Sidery, Ben Aylott, Nelson Christensen +20

The problem of reconstructing the sky position of compact binary coalescences detected via gravitational waves is a central one for future observations with the ground-based networ…

Is AdS stable?

Piotr Bizoń

It has recently been conjectured that the Anti-de Sitter space is unstable under arbitrarily small perturbations. This article (based on my plenary talk of the same title at the co…

The global existence of Yang-Mills fields on curved space-times

Sari Ghanem

This is an introductory chapter in a series in which we take a systematic study of the Yang-Mills equations on curved space-times. In this first, we provide standard material that…

Heater induced thermal effects on the LTP dynamics

Ferran Gibert, Miquel Nofrarias, Alberto Lobo +7

The STOC (Science and Technology Operations Centre) simulator of the LPF (LISA PathFinder) mission is intended to provide a validation tool for the mission operations tele-commandi…

The embedding tensor of Scherk-Schwarz flux compactifications from eleven dimensions

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, Hermann Nicolai

We study the Scherk-Schwarz reduction of D=11 supergravity with background fluxes in the context of a recently developed framework pertaining to D=11 supergravity. We derive the em…

Flat parameter-space metric for all-sky searches for gravitational-wave pulsars

Karl Wette, Reinhard Prix

All-sky, broadband, coherent searches for gravitational-wave pulsars are computationally limited. It is therefore important to make efficient use of available computational resourc…

Approximate black hole binary spacetime via asymptotic matching

Bruno C. Mundim, Hiroyuki Nakano, Nicolás Yunes +3

We construct a fully analytic, general relativistic, nonspinning black hole binary spacetime that approximately solves the vacuum Einstein equations everywhere in space and time fo…

High-Order Fully General-Relativistic Hydrodynamics: new Approaches and Tests

David Radice, Luciano Rezzolla, Filippo Galeazzi

We present a new approach for achieving high-order convergence in fully general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. The approach is implemented in WhiskyTHC, a new code that mak…

Fourier expansions of Kac-Moody Eisenstein series and degenerate Whittaker vectors

Philipp Fleig, Axel Kleinschmidt, Daniel Persson

Motivated by string theory scattering amplitudes that are invariant under a discrete U-duality, we study Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series on Kac-Moody groups. In particula…

Bethe Ansatz for Yangian Invariants: Towards Super Yang-Mills Scattering Amplitudes

Rouven Frassek, Nils Kanning, Yumi Ko +1

We propose that Baxter's Z-invariant six-vertex model at the rational gl(2) point on a planar but in general not rectangular lattice provides a way to study Yangian invariants. The…

Gravitational self-torque and spin precession in compact binaries

Sam R. Dolan, Niels Warburton, Abraham I. Harte +3

We calculate the effect of self-interaction on the "geodetic" spin precession of a compact body in a strong-field orbit around a black hole. Specifically, we consider the spin prec…

Second Quantized Mathieu Moonshine

Daniel Persson, Roberto Volpato

We study the second quantized version of the twisted twining genera of generalized Mathieu moonshine, and prove that they give rise to Siegel modular forms with infinite product re…

An inverse scattering formalism for STU supergravity

Despoina Katsimpouri, Axel Kleinschmidt, Amitabh Virmani

STU supergravity becomes an integrable system for solutions that effectively only depend on two variables. This class of solutions includes the Kerr solution and its charged genera…

Generalized phase transitions in Lovelock gravity

Xian O. Camanho, Jose D. Edelstein, Gaston Giribet +1

We investigate a novel mechanism for phase transitions that is a distinctive feature of higher-curvature gravity theories. For definiteness, we bound ourselves to the case of Lovel…

Einstein@Home discovery of four young gamma-ray pulsars in Fermi LAT data

H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, B. Allen +15

We report the discovery of four gamma-ray pulsars, detected in computing-intensive blind searches of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The pulsars were found using a…

Thermal Correction of Astigmatism in the Gravitational Wave Observatory GEO 600

Holger Wittel, Harald Lück, Christoph Affeldt +10

The output port of GEO 600 is dominated by unwanted high order modes (HOMs). The current thermal actuation system, a ring heater behind one of the folding mirrors, causes a signifi…

Comments on the Algebraic Properties of Dilaton Actions

Adam Schwimmer, Stefan Theisen

We study the relation between the dilaton action and sigma models for the Goldstone bosons of the spontaneous breaking of the conformal group. We argue that the relation requires t…

Instability of the extreme Kerr-Newman black-holes

Martin Reiris

Using black-hole inequalities and the increase of the horizon's areas, we show that there are arbitrarily small electro-vacuum perturbations of the standard initial data of the ext…

Stability of nonspinning effective-one-body model in approximating two-body dynamics and gravitational-wave emission

Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, Andrea Taracchini +7

The detection of gravitational waves and the extraction of physical information from them requires the prediction of accurate waveforms to be used in template banks. For that purpo…

Effective-one-body model for black-hole binaries with generic mass ratios and spins

Andrea Taracchini, Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan +11

Gravitational waves emitted by black-hole binary systems have the highest signal-to-noise ratio in LIGO and Virgo detectors when black-hole spins are aligned with the orbital angul…
