Smoking Gun Signatures of Quasilocal Probability in Black Hole Ringdowns
Oem Trivedi, Alfredo Gurrola, Robert J. Scherrer
Building on recent work introducing the idea of Quasilocal Probability in curved spacetime, we develop its observational implications for black hole ringdown in detail. We show tha…
Direct cosmographic reconstruction of the quintessence potential
Saikat Chakraborty, Peter K. S. Dunsby, Robert J. Scherrer
We derive expressions for the first and second derivatives of the quintessence potential , in terms of and , as fu…
Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Gravity
Oem Trivedi, Alfredo Gurrola, Robert J. Scherrer
Hermiticity is usually treated as a foundational axiom of quantum mechanics, guaranteeing real spectra and unitary time evolution. In this work we argue that Hermiticity is more na…
Exact general solutions for cosmological scalar field evolution in a vacuum-energy dominated expansion
Patrick Hu, Robert J. Scherrer
We derive exact general solutions (as opposed to attractor particular solutions) for the evolution of a scalar field in a universe dominated by a background fluid with equation…
A long freeze is hard to achieve in the presence of matter
Samuel Blitz, Robert J. Scherrer, Oem Trivedi
Certain holographic dark energy (HDE) models allow for the possibility of a ``long freeze,'' in which the scale factor evolves to a constant in the long-time limit. Here we extend…
Gravitational Radiation Power Spectrum of Garfinkle-Vachaspati Cosmic String Loops
S. David Storm, Robert J. Scherrer
We examine the power spectrum of the th harmonic for Garfinkle-Vachaspati cosmic strings, which correspond to planar rectangular loops. While these loop tractories are sel…
