Novel higher-curvature variations of inflation
Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog
We put forward novel extensions of Starobinsky inflation, involving a class of 'geometric' higher-curvature corrections that yield second-order Friedmann-Lemaître equations and sec…
Modeling and detecting resonant tides of exotic compact objects
Kwinten Fransen, Gideon Koekoek, Rob Tielemans +1
The event horizon of a black hole in general relativity absorbs all infalling radiation. Any observation of the contrary would immediately challenge the expectation that astrophysi…
Ringing of rotating black holes in higher-derivative gravity
Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog
We compute scalar quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies in rotating black hole solutions of the most general class of higher-derivative gravity theories, to quartic order in the curva…
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…
