Hidden symmetries for tidal Love numbers: Generalities and applications to analog black holes

Valerio De Luca, Brandon Khek, Justin Khoury +1

Tidal Love numbers characterize the conservative, static response of compact objects to external tidal fields. Remarkably, these quantities vanish identically for asymptotically fl…

Apparent and a Lower from Dark Axion and Dark Baryons Interactions

Justin Khoury, Meng-Xiang Lin, Mark Trodden

We show that a simple coupling between dark energy and dark matter can simultaneously address two distinct hints at new physics coming from cosmological observations. The first is…

Gravitational memory and Ward identities in the local detector frame

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

Gravitational memory, which describes the permanent shift in the strain after the passage of gravitational waves, is directly related to Weinberg's soft graviton theorems and the B…

Tidal Love numbers of analogue black holes

Valerio De Luca, Brandon Khek, Justin Khoury +1

Tidal Love numbers quantify the conservative static response of compact objects to external tidal fields, and are found to vanish exactly for asymptotically flat black holes in fou…

Gravitational memory and soft theorems: The local perspective

Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong

In general relativity, gravitational memory describes the lasting change in the separation and relative velocity of freely falling detectors after the passage of gravitational wave…
