Characters, quasinormal modes, and Schwinger pairs in with flux

Manvir Grewal, Klaas Parmentier

An integral representation of the 1-loop partition function for charged scalars and spinors, minimally coupled to a uniform field on , is given in terms of Ha…

Effective Field Theory for the Perturbations of a Slowly Rotating Black Hole

Lam Hui, Alessandro Podo, Luca Santoni +1

We develop the effective theory for perturbations around black holes with scalar hair, in two directions. First, we show that the scalar-Gauss--Bonnet theory, often used as an exam…

Large power spectrum and primordial black holes in the effective theory of inflation

Guillermo Ballesteros, Sebastián Céspedes, Luca Santoni

We study the generation of a large power spectrum, necessary for primordial black hole formation, within the effective theory of single-field inflation. The mechanisms we consider…

Ladder Symmetries of Black Holes: Implications for Love Numbers and No-Hair Theorems

Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Riccardo Penco +2

It is well known that asymptotically flat black holes in general relativity have a vanishing static, conservative tidal response. We show that this is a result of linearly realized…

Euclidean Twistor Unification

Peter Woit

Taking Euclidean signature space-time with its local Spin(4)=SU(2)xSU(2) group of space-time symmetries as fundamental, one can consistently gauge one SU(2) factor to get a chiral…

Mass and spin for classical strings in

Klaas Parmentier

We demonstrate that all rigidly rotating strings with center of mass at the origin of the static patch satisfy the Higuchi bound. This extends the observation of Noumi et al…

A technical analog of the cosmological constant problem and a solution thereof

Ioanna Kourkoulou, Alberto Nicolis, Guanhao Sun

The near vanishing of the cosmological constant is one of the most puzzling open problems in theoretical physics. We consider a system, the so-called framid, that features a techni…
