Cross section, final spin and zoom-whirl behavior in high-energy black hole collisions
U. Sperhake, V. Cardoso, F. Pretorius +3
We study the collision of two highly boosted equal mass, nonrotating black holes with generic impact parameter. We find such systems to exhibit zoom-whirl behavior when fine tuning…

Spikes in the Mixmaster regime of G_2 cosmologies
Woei Chet Lim, Lars Andersson, David Garfinkle +1
We produce numerical evidence that spikes in the Mixmaster regime of G_2 cosmologies are transient and recurring, supporting the conjecture that the generalized Mixmaster behavior…

Dynamical Chern-Simons Modified Gravity I: Spinning Black Holes in the Slow-Rotation Approximation
Nicolas Yunes, Frans Pretorius
The low-energy limit of string theory contains an anomaly-canceling correction to the Einstein-Hilbert action, which defines an effective theory: Chern-Simons (CS) modified gravity…
