Love at First Loop: Quantum Deformability of Near-Extremal Black Holes

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Roberto Emparan +1

The static Love numbers of black holes vanish in classical, four-dimensional, asymptotically flat General Relativity. We study how this changes for the response of near-extremal Re…

Accelerating black holes in higher-derivative gravity

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Simen Jacobs

Accelerating black holes in General Relativity are described by the C-metric. We study how this geometry is modified by higher-derivative corrections, focusing on cubic curvature t…

Gravitational waveforms from binaries in higher-derivative gravity: a Love story

Pablo A. Cano, Francesco Fucito, Jose F. Morales +1

We study the emission of gravitational waves by a test particle orbiting a non-rotating black hole in higher-derivative gravity theories with cubic and quartic contractions of the…

Amplification of new physics in the quasinormal mode spectrum of highly-rotating black holes

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde

We show that perturbatively-small higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action can lead to order-one modifications of the quasinormal mode spectrum of near-extremal…

Eikonal quasinormal modes of highly-spinning black holes in higher-curvature gravity: a window into extremality

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde

We carry out the first computation of gravitational quasinormal modes of black holes with arbitrary rotation in a theory with higher-derivative corrections. Our analysis focuses on…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65

The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…

Love numbers beyond GR from the modified Teukolsky equation

Pablo A. Cano

We obtain the full set of tidal Love numbers of non-rotating black holes in an effective field theory extension of general relativity. We achieve our results using a recently intro…

Ringdown Analysis of Rotating Black Holes in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Simon Maenaut, Gregorio Carullo, Pablo A. Cano +4

Quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes were recently computed in a generic effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with higher-derivative corrections. We…

Higher-derivative corrections to the Kerr quasinormal mode spectrum

Pablo A. Cano, Lodovico Capuano, Nicola Franchini +2

We provide the most complete analysis so far of quasinormal modes of rotating black holes in a general higher-derivative extension of Einstein's theory. By finding the corrections…

Isospectrality in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Pablo A. Cano, Marina David

Two universal predictions of general relativity are the propagation of gravitational waves of large momentum along null geodesics and the isospectrality of quasinormal modes in man…

Parametrized quasi-normal mode framework for modified Teukolsky equations

Pablo A. Cano, Lodovico Capuano, Nicola Franchini +2

Modifications to general relativity lead to effects in the spectrum of quasi-normal modes of black holes. In this paper, we develop a parametrized formalism to describe deviations…

Inconsistency of modified gravity in cosmology

Pablo A. Cano

We show that there is a fundamental flaw in the application of modified gravity theories in cosmology, taking gravity as a paradigmatic example. This theory contains a scala…
