Revisiting the no-boundary proposal with a scalar field

Caroline Jonas, Jean-Luc Lehners, Vincent Meyer

Recent works have suggested that the no-boundary proposal should be defined as a sum over regular, not necessarily compact, metrics. We show that such a prescription can be impleme…

Relativistic Hydrodynamics: A Singulant Perspective

Michal P. Heller, Alexandre Serantes, Michał Spaliński +2

There is growing evidence that the hydrodynamic gradient expansion is factorially divergent. We advocate for using Dingle's singulants as a way to gain analytic control over its la…

Exact Gravity Duals for Simple Quantum Circuits

Johanna Erdmenger, Mario Flory, Marius Gerbershagen +2

Holographic complexity proposals have sparked interest in quantifying the cost of state preparation in quantum field theories and its possible dual gravitational manifestations. Th…

General-relativistic precession in a black-hole binary

Mark Hannam, Charlie Hoy, Jonathan E. Thompson +24

The general-relativistic phenomenon of spin-induced orbital precession has not yet been observed in strong-field gravity. Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes (BBH…

Narrowband searches for continuous and long-duration transient gravitational waves from known pulsars in the LIGO-Virgo third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1658

Isolated neutron stars that are asymmetric with respect to their spin axis are possible sources of detectable continuous gravitational waves. This paper presents a fully-coherent s…

Constraining neutron star properties with a new equation of state insensitive approach

Bhaskar Biswas, Sayak Datta

Instead of parameterizing the pressure-density relation of a neutron star (NS), one can parameterize its macroscopic properties such as mass (), radius (), and dimensionless…

Turbulent magnetic field amplification in binary neutron star mergers

C. Palenzuela, R. Aguilera-Miret, F. Carrasco +5

Magnetic fields are expected to play a key role in the dynamics and the ejection mechanisms that accompany the merger of two neutron stars. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic…

Effective-one-body multipolar waveforms for eccentric binary black holes with non-precessing spins

Antoni Ramos-Buades, Alessandra Buonanno, Mohammed Khalil +1

We construct an inspiral-merger-ringdown eccentric gravitational-wave (GW) model for binary black holes with non-precessing spins within the effective-one-body formalism. This wave…

Thermodynamics of spacetime and unimodular gravity

Ana Alonso-Serrano, Marek Liška

In this review we discuss emergence of unimodular gravity (or, more precisely, Weyl transverse gravity) from thermodynamics of spacetime. By analyzing three different ways to obtai…

Eccentric self-forced inspirals into a rotating black hole

Philip Lynch, Maarten van de Meent, Niels Warburton

We develop the first model for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) into a rotating massive black hole driven by the gravitational self-force. Our model is based on an action angle…
