The First Search for Gravitational Waves from Inspiraling Compact Binaries using TAMA300 data

Hideyuki Tagoshi, Nobuyuki Kanda, Takahiro Tanaka +2

We analyzed 6 hours of data from the TAMA300 detector by matched filtering, searching for gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries. We incorporated a two-step hierarch…

The Isotropy of Compact Universes

John D. Barrow, Hideo Kodama

We discuss the problem of the stability of the isotropy of the universe in the space of ever-expanding spatially homogeneous universes with a compact spatial topology. The anisotro…

Convex Functions and Spacetime Geometry

Gary W. Gibbons, Akihiro Ishibashi

Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the con…

Analytic derivation of the map of null rays passing near a naked singularity

Takahiro Tanaka, T. P. Singh

Recently the energy emission from a naked singularity forming in spherical dust collapse has been investigated. This radiation is due to the particle creation in a curved spacetime…

Gravitational field and equations of motion of spinning compact binaries to 2.5 post-Newtonian order

Hideyuki Tagoshi, Akira Ohashi, Benjamin J. Owen

We derive spin-orbit coupling effects on the gravitational field and equations of motion of compact binaries in the 2.5 post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity, one PN o…

Naked singularities and quantum gravity

Tomohiro Harada, Hideo Iguchi, Ken-ichi Nakao +3

There are known models of spherical gravitational collapse in which the collapse ends in a naked shell-focusing singularity for some initial data. If a massless scalar field is qua…

Instability of a membrane intersecting a black hole

Susumu Higaki, Akihiro Ishibashi, Daisuke Ida

The stability of a Nambu-Goto membrane at the equatorial plane of the Reissner-Nordstrøm-de Sitter spacetime is studied. The covariant perturbation formalism is applied to study th…

An asymptotic analysis of spherically symmetric perfect fluid self-similar solutions

B. J. Carr, A. A. Coley

The asymptotic properties of self-similar spherically symmetric perfect fluid solutions with equation of state p=alpha mu (-1<alpha<1) are described. We prove that for large and sm…

Birth of timelike naked singularity

H. Kudoh, T. Harada, H. Iguchi

We investigate the causal structure of the Harada-Iguchi-Nakao (HIN)'s exact solution in detail, which describes the dynamical formation of naked singularity in the collapse of a r…

Response of Interferometric Detectors to Scalar Gravitational Waves

Ken-ichi Nakao, Tomohiro Harada, Masaru Shibata +2

We rigorously analyze the frequency response functions and antenna sensitivity patterns of three types of interferometric detectors to scalar mode of gravitational waves which is p…

Black holes and a scalar field in an expanding universe

Hiromi Saida, Jiro Soda

We consider a model of an inhomogeneous universe including a massless scalar field, where the inhomogeneity is assumed to consist of many black holes. This model can be constructed…

Excitation of Kaluza-Klein modes of U(1) field by parametric resonance

Yoshiyuki Morisawa, Kunihito Uzawa, Shinji Mukohyama

In this paper, based on the theory of parametric resonance, we propose a cosmological criterion on ways of compactification: we rule out such a model of compactification that there…

Thick Domain Walls Intersecting a Black Hole

Yoshiyuki Morisawa, Ryo Yamazaki, Daisuke Ida +2

We discuss the gravitationally interacting system of a thick domain wall and a black hole. We numerically solve the scalar field equation in the Schwarzschild spacetime and show th…

No Black Hole Theorem in Three-Dimensional Gravity

Daisuke Ida

A common property of known black hole solutions in (2+1)-dimensional gravity is that they require a negative cosmological constant. In this letter, it is shown that a (2+1)-dimensi…

Spectral Evolution of the Universe

Masafumi Seriu

We derive the evolution equations for the spectra of the Universe. Here "spectra" means the eigenvalues of the Laplacian defined on a space, which contain the geometrical informati…

Naked Singularity Explosion

Tomohiro Harada, Hideo Iguchi, Ken-ichi Nakao

It is known that the gravitational collapse of a dust ball results in naked singularity formation from an initial density profile which is physically reasonable. In this paper, we…

A classification of spherically symmetric self-similar dust models

B. J. Carr

We classify all spherically symmetric dust solutions of Einstein's equations which are self-similar in the sense that all dimensionless variables depend only upon . We…

Locally U(1)*U(1) Symmetric Cosmological Models: Topology and Dynamics

Masayuki Tanimoto

We show examples which reveal influences of spatial topologies to dynamics, using a class of spatially {\it closed} inhomogeneous cosmological models. The models, called the {\it l…
