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…
