Search for Eccentric Binary Neutron Star Mergers in the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO

Alexander H. Nitz, Amber Lenon, Duncan A. Brown

We present a search for gravitational waves from merging binary neutron stars which have non-negligible eccentricity as they enter the LIGO observing band. We use the public Advanc…

Matter Mixing in Aspherical Core-collapse Supernovae: Three-dimensional Simulations with Single Star and Binary Merger Progenitor Models for SN 1987A

Masaomi Ono, Shigehiro Nagataki, Gilles Ferrand +5

We perform three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of aspherical core-collapse supernovae focusing on the matter mixing in SN 1987A. The impacts of four progenitor (pre-supernov…

Amplitude recursions with an extra marked point

Johannes Broedel, Andre Kaderli

The recursive calculation of Selberg integrals by Aomoto and Terasoma using the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and the Drinfeld associator makes use of an auxiliary point and faci…

Gravitational-Wave Constraints on an Effective Field-Theory Extension of General Relativity

Noah Sennett, Richard Brito, Alessandra Buonanno +2

Gravitational-wave observations of coalescing binary systems allow for novel tests of the strong-field regime of gravity. Using data from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center…

Dissipation in extreme-mass ratio binaries with a spinning secondary

Sarp Akcay, Sam R. Dolan, Chris Kavanagh +3

We present the gravitational-wave flux balance law in an extreme mass-ratio binary with a spinning secondary. This law relates the flux of energy (angular momentum) radiated to nul…

A note on the Drinfeld associator for genus-zero superstring amplitudes in twisted de Rham theory

Andre Kaderli

The string corrections of tree-level open-string amplitudes can be described by Selberg integrals satisfying a Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equation. This allows for a recursion of…

Field Theories on Null Manifolds

Arjun Bagchi, Rudranil Basu, Aditya Mehra +1

We argue that generic field theories defined on null manifolds should have an emergent BMS or conformal Carrollian structure. We then focus on a simple interacting conformal Carrol…

From spin chains to real-time thermal field theory using tensor networks

Mari Carmen Banuls, Michal P. Heller, Karl Jansen +2

One of the most interesting directions in theoretical high-energy and condensed-matter physics is understanding dynamical properties of collective states of quantum field theories.…

Newton-Hooke/Carrollian expansions of (A)dS and Chern-Simons gravity

Joaquim Gomis, Axel Kleinschmidt, Jakob Palmkvist +1

We construct finite- and infinite-dimensional non-relativistic extensions of the Newton-Hooke and Carroll (A)dS algebras using the algebra expansion method, starting from the (anti…

Astrometric Effects of Gravitational Wave Backgrounds with non-Luminal Propagation Speeds

Deyan P. Mihaylov, Christopher J. Moore, Jonathan Gair +2

A passing gravitational wave causes a deflection in the apparent astrometric positions of distant stars. The effect of the speed of the gravitational wave on this astrometric shift…

Robust and resource-efficient microwave near-field entangling Be gate
