Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
Particle Dark Matter Constraints: the Effect of Galactic Uncertainties
Maria Benito, Nicolas Bernal, Nassim Bozorgnia +2
Collider, space, and Earth based experiments are now able to probe several extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics which provide viable dark matter candidates. Direct…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986
We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…
An estimate of the DM profile in the Galactic bulge region
Fabio Iocco, Maria Benito
We present an analysis of the mass distribution in the region of the Galactic bulge, which leads to constraints on the total amount and distribution of Dark Matter (DM) therein. Ou…
Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts During the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run and Implications for the Origin of GRB 150906B
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, IPN Collaboration +1002
We present the results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with -ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravi…
Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
Hexagonalization of Correlation Functions
Thiago Fleury, Shota Komatsu
We propose a nonperturbative framework to study general correlation functions of single-trace operators in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at large . The basic…
Sharpening the shape analysis for higher-dimensional operator searches
Sylvain Fichet, Patricia Rebello Teles, Alberto Tonero
When the Standard Model is interpreted as the renormalizable sector of a low-energy effective theory, the effects of new physics are encoded into a set of higher dimensional operat…
The Impact of Particle Production on Gravitational Baryogenesis
J. A. S. Lima, Douglas Singleton
Baryogenesis driven by curvature effects is investigated by taking into account gravitationally induced particle production in the very early Universe. In our scenario, the baryon…
Shining Light on Polarizable Dark Particles
Sylvain Fichet
We investigate the possibilities of searching for a self-conjugate polarizable particle in the self-interactions of light. We first observe that polarizability can arise either fro…
Time dependent electromagnetic fields and 4-dimensional Stokes' theorem
Ryan Andosca, Douglas Singleton
Stokes' theorem is central to many aspects of physics -- electromagnetism, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and Wilson loops to name a few. However, the pedagogical examples and research…
The basic physics of the binary black hole merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +953
The first direct gravitational-wave detection was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory on September 14, 2015. The GW150914 signal was strong eno…
Upper limits on the rates of binary neutron star and neutron-star--black-hole mergers from Advanced LIGO's first observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +958
We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron star systems and neutron-star--black-hole systems during the first observing run of Advanc…
Fermionic Correlators from Integrability
Joao Caetano, Thiago Fleury
We study three-point functions of single-trace operators in the su(1|1) sector of planar N = 4 SYM borrowing several tools based on Integrability. In the most general configuration…
Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953
We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…
Results of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on LIGO S6 data running on the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the…
Exploring the Sensitivity of Next Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +720
The second-generation of gravitational-wave detectors are just starting operation, and have already yielding their first detections. Research is now concentrated on how to maximize…
The S-matrix Bootstrap II: Two Dimensional Amplitudes
Miguel F. Paulos, Joao Penedones, Jonathan Toledo +2
We consider constraints on the S-matrix of any gapped, Lorentz invariant quantum field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions due to crossing symmetry and unitarity. In this way we establish r…
The S-matrix Bootstrap I: QFT in AdS
Miguel F. Paulos, Joao Penedones, Jonathan Toledo +2
We propose a strategy to study massive Quantum Field Theory (QFT) using conformal bootstrap methods. The idea is to consider QFT in hyperbolic space and study correlation functions…
Extracting OPE coefficient of Konishi at four loops
Vasco Gonçalves
We compute in this short note the OPE coefficient of two 20' operators and the Konishi. We use the OPE decomposition of a four point function of four 20' operators and the method o…
