Stable wormholes in scalar-tensor theories
Gabriele Franciolini, Lam Hui, Riccardo Penco +2
We reconsider the issue of whether scalar-tensor theories can admit stable wormhole configurations supported by a non-trivial radial profile for the scalar field. Using a recently…
Effective Field Theory of Black Hole Quasinormal Modes in Scalar-Tensor Theories
Gabriele Franciolini, Lam Hui, Riccardo Penco +2
The final ringdown phase in a coalescence process is a valuable laboratory to test General Relativity and potentially constrain additional degrees of freedom in the gravitational s…
Behind Horndeski: Structurally Robust Higher Derivative EFTs
Luca Santoni, Enrico Trincherini, Leonardo G. Trombetta
Higher derivative scalar interactions can give rise to interesting cosmological scenarios. We present a complete classification of such operators that can yield sizeable effects wi…
