Mass inflation and thin shells in quasi-topological gravity
Francesco Di Filippo, David Kubiznak, Aravindhan Srinivasan
We study the null junction conditions in (re-summed) quasi-topological gravity theories, showing that no null thin shells exist within the realms of standard distributional theory…
Towards a Non-singular Paradigm of Black Hole Physics
Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Francesco Di Filippo, Stefano Liberati +18
The study of regular black holes and black hole mimickers as alternatives to standard black holes has recently gained significant attention, driven both by the need to extend gener…
Lectures in Quantum Gravity
Ivano Basile, Luca Buoninfante, Francesco Di Filippo +3
Formulating a quantum theory of gravity lies at the heart of fundamental theoretical physics. This collection of lecture notes encompasses a selection of topics that were covered i…
Black Holes Inside and Out 2024: visions for the future of black hole physics
Niayesh Afshordi, Abhay Ashtekar, Enrico Barausse +27
The gravitational physics landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by our ability to study strong-field regions, in particular black holes. Black Holes Inside and Out gathered world e…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
Taming higher-derivative interactions and bootstrapping gravity with soft theorems
Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Francesco Di Filippo, Nathan Moynihan
On-shell constructibility is redefining our understanding of perturbative quantum field theory. The tree-level S-matrix of constructible theories is completely determined by a set…
