Spin-orbit effects for compact binaries in scalar-tensor gravity
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville +1
Gravitational waves provide us with a new window into our Universe, and have already been used to place strong constrains on the existence of light scalar fields, which are a commo…
Spin precession as a new window into disformal scalar fields
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville +1
We launch a first investigation into how a light scalar field coupled both conformally and disformally to matter influences the evolution of spinning point-like bodies. Working dir…
Quantum Corrections to Generic Branes: DBI, NLSM, and More
Garrett Goon, Scott Melville, Johannes Noller
We study quantum corrections to hypersurfaces of dimension embedded in generic higher-dimensional spacetimes. Manifest covariance is maintained throughout the analysis and…
On the time evolution of cosmological correlators
Sebastian Cespedes, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville
Developing our understanding of how correlations evolve during inflation is crucial if we are to extract information about the early Universe from our late-time observables. To tha…
Solutions to Problems at Les Houches Summer School on EFT
Marcel Balsiger, Marios Bounakis, Mehdi Drissi +10
This work details worked solutions to the various problems set by the lecturers during the course of the Les Houches summer school 2017 on effective field theories in particle phys…
Inflation in Motion: Unitarity Constraints in Effective Field Theories with Broken Lorentz Symmetry
Tanguy Grall, Scott Melville
During inflation, there is a preferred reference frame in which the expansion of the background spacetime is spatially isotropic. In contrast to Minkowski spacetime, observables ca…
