The Weak Null Condition in Free-evolution Schemes for Numerical Relativity: Dual Foliation GHG with Constraint Damping

Edgar Gasperin, David Hilditch

All strategies for the treatment of future null-infinity in numerical relativity involve some form of regularization of the field equations. In a recent proposal that relies on the…

Scalarized black holes in the presence of the coupling to Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Masato Minamitsuji, Taishi Ikeda

In this paper, we study static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions in the scalar-tensor theories with the coupling of the scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term…

Hyperbolicity of Divergence Cleaning and Vector Potential Formulations of GRMHD

David Hilditch, Andreas Schoepe

We examine hyperbolicity of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics with divergence cleaning, a flux-balance law form of the model not covered by our earlier analysis. The calcul…

Influence of intrinsic spin in the formation of singularities for inhomogeneous effective dust space-times

Paulo Luz, Filipe C. Mena, Amir Hadi Ziaie

The evolution of inhomogeneous space-times composed of uncharged fermions is studied for Szekeres metrics which have no Killing vectors, in general. Using the Einstein-Cartan theor…

Gravitating solitons and black holes with synchronised hair in the four dimensional O(3) sigma-model

C. Herdeiro, I. Perapechka, E. Radu +1

We consider the non-linear sigma-model, composed of three real scalar fields with a standard kinetic term and with a symmetry breaking potential in four spacetime d…

Magnetized accretion disks around Kerr black holes with scalar hair - I. Constant angular momentum disks

Sergio Gimeno-Soler, José A. Font, Carlos Herdeiro +1

Testing the true nature of black holes - the no-hair hypothesis - will become increasingly more precise in the next few years as new observational data is collected in both the gra…

Gravitational radiation and the evolution of gravitational collapse in cylindrical symmetry

Alfonso García-Parrado, Filipe C. Mena

Using the Sparling form and a geometric construction adapted to spacetimes with a 2-dimensional isometry group, we analyse a quasi-local measure of gravitational energy. We then st…

Greybody factors and quasinormal modes for a nonminimally coupled scalar field in a cloud of strings in (2+1)-dimensional background

Ángel Rincón, Grigoris Panotopoulos

We study the propagation of a probe massless nonminimally coupled scalar field in a fixed gravitational background of a cloud of strings in (2+1) dimensions. We obtain exact analyt…

Elastic shocks in relativistic rigid rods and balls

João L. Costa, José Natário

We study the free boundary problem for the "hard phase" material introduced by Christodoulou, both for rods in (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and for spherically symmetric b…

Charged Fermions and Strong Cosmic Censorship

Kyriakos Destounis

It was recently shown that the Strong Cosmic Censorship conjecture might be violated for near-extremally-charged black holes in de Sitter space. Here, we extend our study to charge…

Anisotropic stars as ultracompact objects in General Relativity

Guilherme Raposo, Paolo Pani, Miguel Bezares +2

Anisotropic stresses are ubiquitous in nature, but their modeling in General Relativity is poorly understood and frame dependent. We introduce the first study on the dynamical prop…

Particle creation in gravitational collapse to a horizonless compact object

Tomohiro Harada, Vitor Cardoso, Daiki Miyata

Black holes (BHs) play a central role in physics. However, gathering observational evidence for their existence is a notoriously difficult task. Current strategies to quantify the…

Electromagnetic emission from axionic clouds and the quenching of superradiant instabilities

Taishi Ikeda, Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso

The nature of dark matter is one of the longest-standing puzzles in science. Axions or axion-like particles are a key possibility, and arise in mechanisms to solve the strong CP pr…

Axionic instabilities and new black hole solutions

Mateja Boskovic, Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso +2

The coupling between scalar and vector fields has a long and interesting history. Axions are one key possibility to solve the strong CP problem and axion-like particles could be on…

From micro to macro and back: probing near-horizon quantum structures with gravitational waves

Andrea Maselli, Paolo Pani, Vitor Cardoso +3

Supermassive binaries detectable by the future space gravitational-wave interferometer LISA might allow to distinguish black holes from ultracompact horizonless objects, even when…

Gravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field in a Periodic Box

Chul-Moon Yoo, Taishi Ikeda, Hirotada Okawa

Gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field with the periodic boundary condition in a cubic box is reported. This system can be regarded as a lattice universe model. We const…

The scalarised Schwarzschild-NUT spacetime

Yves Brihaye, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu

It has recently been suggested that vacuum black holes of General Relativity (GR) can become spontaneously scalarised when appropriate non-minimal couplings to curvature invariants…

Classical and quantum aspects of electric-magnetic duality rotations in curved spacetimes

Ivan Agullo, Adrian del Rio, Jose Navarro-Salas

It is well known that the source-free Maxwell equations are invariant under electric-magnetic duality rotations, F --> F cos θ + *F sin θ. These transformations are indeed a symmet…

Synchronized stationary clouds in a static fluid

Carolina L. Benone, Luís C. B. Crispino, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro +1

The existence of stationary bound states for the hydrodynamic velocity field between two concentric cylinders is established. We argue that rotational motion, together with a trapp…

Strong cosmic censorship: The nonlinear story

Raimon Luna, Miguel Zilhão, Vitor Cardoso +2

A satisfactory formulation of the laws of physics entails that the future evolution of a physical system should be determined from appropriate initial conditions. The existence of…
