Primary black-hole scalar charges and kinetic screening in -essence-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Guillermo Lara, Georg Trenkler, Leonardo G. Trombetta

Black holes beyond General Relativity may carry non-standard charges that impact their phenomenology. We study how the scalar charge that is induced by the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet coup…

Fixing the dynamical evolution of self-interacting vector fields

Marcelo E. Rubio, Guillermo Lara, Miguel Bezares +2

Numerical simulations of the Cauchy problem for self-interacting massive vector fields often face instabilities and apparent pathologies. We explicitly demonstrate that these issue…

Extending black-hole remnant surrogate models to extreme mass ratios

Matteo Boschini, Davide Gerosa, Vijay Varma +19

Numerical-relativity surrogate models for both black-hole merger waveforms and remnants have emerged as important tools in gravitational-wave astronomy. While producing very accura…

Robustness of kinetic screening against matter coupling

Guillermo Lara, Miguel Bezares, Marco Crisostomi +1

We investigate neutron star solutions in scalar-tensor theories of gravity with first-order derivative self-interactions in the action and in the matter coupling. We assess the rob…

The well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for self-interacting vector fields

Enrico Barausse, Miguel Bezares, Marco Crisostomi +1

We point out that the initial-value (Cauchy) problem for self-interacting vector fields presents the same well-posedness issues as for first-order derivative self-interacting scala…

UV completions, fixing the equations and nonlinearities in -essence

Guillermo Lara, Miguel Bezares, Enrico Barausse

Scalar-tensor theories with first-derivative self interactions, known as -essence, may provide interesting phenomenology on cosmological scales. On smaller scales, however, init…
