Surrogate model for an aligned-spin effective one body waveform model of binary neutron star inspirals using Gaussian process regression

Benjamin D. Lackey, Michael Pürrer, Andrea Taracchini +1

Fast and accurate waveform models are necessary for measuring the properties of inspiraling binary neutron star systems such as GW170817. We present a frequency-domain surrogate ve…

Entanglement renormalization and symmetry fractionalization

Sukhbinder Singh, Nathan McMahon, Gavin Brennen

It is well known that the matrix product state (MPS) description of a gapped ground state with a global on-site symmetry can exhibit "symmetry fractionalization". Namely, even thou…

Asymptotic structure of a massless scalar field and its dual two-form field at spatial infinity

Marc Henneaux, Cedric Troessaert

Relativistic field theories with a power law decay in at spatial infinity generically possess an infinite number of conserved quantities because of Lorentz invariance. Mos…

New dual gravitational charges

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

We show that there are a further infinite number of, previously unknown, supertranslation charges. These can be viewed as duals of the known BMS charges corresponding to supertrans…
