Horizonless ultracompact objects and dark matter in quadratic gravity
Alberto Salvio, Hardi Veermäe
We show that in quadratic gravity sufficiently light objects must be horizonless and construct explicit analytic examples of horizonless ultracompact objects (UCOs), which are more…

Quasi-Conformal Models and the Early Universe
Alberto Salvio
Extensions of the Standard Model and general relativity featuring a UV fixed point can leave observable implications at accessible energies. Although mass parameters such as the Pl…

Metastability in Quadratic Gravity
Alberto Salvio
Quadratic gravity is a UV completion of general relativity, which also solves the hierarchy problem. The presence of 4 derivatives implies via the Ostrogradsky theorem that the $cl…
