Thermal Origin of Black Hole Quasinormal Modes

D. Giataganas, G. F. Giudice, A. Kehagias +2

When a black hole rings after a merger, it emits gravitational waves at characteristic frequencies known as quasinormal modes (QNMs). In the eikonal limit, these modes are governed…

A Bound on the Dynamical Love Number

Alex Kehagias, Antonio Riotto

The paper derives a theoretical bound on the frequency dependence of the tidal deformability (Love number) of compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes, using the Schwa…

Radial Mirror Scattering and the QNM Convergence Region

Alex Kehagias, Antonio Riotto

We revisit the convergence region of the quasinormal modes expansion of Schwarzschild retarded Green functions from a radial scattering viewpoint. The tortoise coordinate admits a…

Black Hole Photon Rings Saturate the Quantum Chaos Bound

D. Giataganas, G. F. Giudice, A. Kehagias +2

We study the quantum chaos bound in the photon ring region surrounding black holes. By evaluating the Lyapunov exponent associated with unstable null geodesics in a broad class of…

Standard Model Higgs Peaks: a Note on the Vacuum Instability during Inflation

G. Franciolini, A. Kehagias, A. Riotto

In the Standard Model, the Higgs potential develops an instability at high field values when the quartic self-coupling runs negative. Large quantum fluctuations during cosmic infla…

Nonlinear Gravity and Multipole Turbulence

A. Ianniccari, A. Kehagias, L. Lo Bianco +1

We derive a kinetic Boltzmann equation characterizing the long-term statistical behavior of the turbulent dynamics of nonlinear interacting gravitational wave multipoles in Minkows…
