Nonlinear electroweak sphaleron clouds around Kerr black holes
Carlos Herdeiro, Jutta Kunz, Hendrik Mennenga +1
Kerr black holes and electroweak sphalerons are remarkable solutions of two pillars of modern physics: General Relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics, respectively.…
Electroweak balls: non-topological solitons in the Weinberg-Salam theory
Carlos Herdeiro, Jutta Kunz, Burkhard Kleihaus +1
We construct a new class of smooth, finite-energy solitons in the bosonic Weinberg-Salam theory, which we dub . Their localization mechanism…
Testing Gravity with Binary Pulsars in the SKA Era
V. Venkatraman Krishnan, L. Shao, V. Balakrishnan +21
Binary (and trinary) radio pulsars are natural laboratories in space for understanding gravity in the strong field regime, with many unique and precise tests carried out so far, in…
Phase Structure of Scalarized Black Holes in Einstein-Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
Carlos Herdeiro, Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz +3
We revisit scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and analyze the thermodynamic phase transition between the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity an…

V. Venkatraman Krishnan, L. Shao, V. Balakrishnan +21
Binary (and trinary) radio pulsars are natural laboratories in space for understanding gravity in the strong field regime, with many unique and precise tests carried out so far, in…
Phase transitions of boson stars in scalar-tensor theories
Hyat Huang, Burkhard Kleihaus, Jutta Kunz +3
In scalar-tensor theories, compact objects may experience spontaneous scalarization. Recently, it was shown that matter-induced spontaneous scalarization of neutron stars is predom…
Einstein-(complex)-Maxwell static boson stars in AdS
Carlos Herdeiro, Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz +1
We consider a model with two real Maxwell fields (or equivalently, a complex Maxwell field) minimally coupled to Einsteins gravity with a negative cosmological constant in four spa…
Shadow images of compact objects in beyond Horndeski theory
Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz, Deeshani Mitra
A beyond Horndeski theory is considered that admits wormholes, black holes and naked singularities. In this theory the shadow images of the black holes and the exotic compact objec…
Chains of Boson Stars
C. A. R. Herdeiro, J. Kunz, I. Perapechka +2
We study axially symmetric multi-soliton solutions of a complex scalar field theory with a sextic potential, minimally coupled to Einstein's gravity. These solutions carry no angul…
Myers-Perry black holes with scalar hair and a mass gap
Yves Brihaye, Carlos Herdeiro, Eugen Radu
We construct a family of asymptotically flat, rotating black holes with scalar hair and a regular horizon, within five dimensional Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to a complex…
static black holes with event horizon topology
Burkhard Kleihaus, Jutta Kunz, Eugen Radu
We present numerical evidence for the existence of new black hole solutions in spacetime dimensions. They approach asymptotically the Minkowski background and have an eve…
The Sphaleron Barrier in the Presence of Fermions
Guido Nolte, Jutta Kunz
We calculate the minimal energy path over the sphaleron barrier in the pre\-sen\-ce of fermions, assuming that the fermions of a doublet are degenerate in mass. This allows for sph…
