Innermost stable circular orbit of arbitrary-mass compact binaries at fourth post-Newtonian order

Luc Blanchet, David Langlois, Etienne Ligout

We compute by means of post-Newtonian (PN) methods the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of arbitrary-mass (in particular, comparable-mass) compact binaries. Two methods are u…

Cosmological scalar perturbations for a metric reconstructed from group field theory

Steffen Gielen, Lisa Mickel

While homogeneous cosmologies have long been studied in the group field theory (GFT) approach to quantum gravity, including a quantum description of cosmological perturbations is h…

Large black-hole scalar charges induced by cosmology in Horndeski theories

Eugeny Babichev, Gilles Esposito-Farèse, Ignacy Sawicki +1

The regularity of black hole solutions, embedded in an expanding Universe, is studied in a subclass of Horndeski theories, namely the sum of the simplest quadratic, cubic and quint…

Gravitational wave signals from primordial black holes orbiting solar-type stars

Vitorio A. De Lorenci, David I. Kaiser, Patrick Peter +2

Primordial black holes (PBHs) with masses between and kg are candidates to contribute a substantial fraction of the total dark matter abundance. When in orbit a…

Non-Gaussianities as a Signature of Quantumness of Quantum Cosmology

Hervé Bergeron, Przemysław Małkiewicz, Patrick Peter

We show that the consistent application of the rules of quantum mechanics to cosmological systems inevitably results in the so-called multiverse states in which neither the backgro…

Effective field theory reproducing the MOND phenomenology based on a non-Abelian Yang-Mills graviphoton

Luc Blanchet, Emeric Seraille

Motivated by the phenomenology of MOND, we propose a theory based on a fundamental non Abelian Yang-Mills gauge field with gravitational coupling constant (a "graviphoton") emergin…

Tail effects of self-interacting scalar fields

Philippe Brax, Emma Bruyère

We consider the effects of quartic self-interactions on the dynamics of a binary system due to a (nearly) massless scalar field conformally coupled to matter. We investigate the de…
