Measuring gravity by holding atoms

Cristian D. Panda, Matthew J. Tao, Miguel Ceja +1

Despite being the dominant force of nature on large scales, gravity remains relatively elusive to experimental measurement. Many questions remain, such as its behavior at small sca…

Directed Percolation Criticality in Eternal Inflation

Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

False-vacuum eternal inflation can be described as a random walk on the network of vacua of the string landscape. In this paper we show that the problem can be mapped naturally to…

Non-linearities in the tidal Love numbers of black holes

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

Tidal Love numbers describe the linear response of a compact object under the presence of external tidal perturbations, and they are found to vanish exactly for black holes within…

Superfluid Dark Matter around Black Holes

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury

Superfluid dark matter, consisting of self-interacting light particles that thermalize and condense to form a superfluid in galaxies, provides a novel theory that matches the succe…

Thermalization, Fragmentation and Tidal Disruption: The Complex Galactic Dynamics of Dark Matter Superfluidity

Lasha Berezhiani, Giordano Cintia, Justin Khoury

The idea of self-interacting bosonic dark matter capable of exhibiting superfluidity is revisited. We show that the most interesting parameter space of the theory corresponds to fu…

Implications of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for Tidal Love Numbers of Black Holes

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

The Weak Gravity Conjecture indicates that extremal black holes in the low energy effective field theory should be able to decay. This criterion gives rise to non-trivial constrain…
