Black Hole Quasinormal Mode Resonances and Reconnections in Coupled Systems

Leah Jenks, Hayato Motohashi, Kazufumi Takahashi +2

Black hole quasinormal modes (QNMs) provide a window into the underlying structure of black holes and the environments in which they arise. QNMs have particularly rich dynamics in…

Scalar quasinormal modes of rotating black holes in parity-violating gravity

Hiroaki W. H. Tahara, Hayato Motohashi, Kazufumi Takahashi +1

Recently, an exact rotating black hole solution in a parity-violating theory of gravity was obtained via a conformal transformation of the Kerr solution in general relativity, with…

Probing higher curvature gravity via ringdown with overtones

Keisuke Nakashi, Masashi Kimura, Hayato Motohashi +1

We investigate metric perturbations of a spherically symmetric black hole in higher curvature gravity. We show that higher curvature corrections deform the near-horizon region of t…

EFT of Dark Energy with Cosmic Chronometers: Reconstructing Background EFT Functions

Fumiya Okamatsu, Kazufumi Takahashi

The effective field theory (EFT) of dark energy provides a model-independent framework for studying cosmology within scalar-tensor theories. In this work, we explore how the time e…

Dynamical Tidal Response of Non-rotating Black Holes: Connecting the MST Formalism and Worldline EFT

Hajime Kobayashi, Shinji Mukohyama, Naritaka Oshita +2

The response of a black hole (BH) to tidal forces encodes key information about the underlying gravitational theory and affects the waveform of gravitational waves emitted during b…

Effective Field Theory of Perturbations on Arbitrary Black Hole Backgrounds with Spacelike Scalar Profile

Shinji Mukohyama, Emeric Seraille, Kazufumi Takahashi +1

We develop the effective field theory (EFT) of perturbations in the context of scalar-tensor theories with a spacelike scalar profile on arbitrary black hole backgrounds. Our const…

Resonance of black hole quasinormal modes in coupled systems

Takuya Takahashi, Hayato Motohashi, Kazufumi Takahashi

Black hole quasinormal modes (QNMs) can exhibit resonant excitations associated with avoided crossings in their complex frequency spectrum. Such resonance phenomena can serve as no…

Parametrized Tidal Dissipation Numbers of Non-rotating Black Holes

Hajime Kobayashi, Shinji Mukohyama, Naritaka Oshita +2

A set of tidal dissipation numbers (TDNs) quantifies the absorption of the tidal force exerted by a companion during an inspiralling phase of a binary compact object. This tidal di…

Inverting no-hair theorems: How requiring General Relativity solutions restricts scalar-tensor theories

Hajime Kobayashi, Shinji Mukohyama, Johannes Noller +3

Black hole solutions in general scalar-tensor theories are known to permit hair, i.e. non-trivial scalar profiles and/or metric solutions different from the ones of General Relativ…

(In)stability of the black hole greybody factors and ringdowns against a small-bump correction

Naritaka Oshita, Kazufumi Takahashi, Shinji Mukohyama

Recently, it has been proposed that the black hole greybody factors can be important to model ringdown spectral amplitudes. We study the stability of greybody factors against a sma…

Black holes, multiple propagation speeds, and energy extraction

Vitor Cardoso, Shinji Mukohyama, Naritaka Oshita +1

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the speed of light to be a universal speed of propagation of massless carriers. However, other possibilities exist -- including Lore…
