Love at First Loop: Quantum Deformability of Near-Extremal Black Holes
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Roberto Emparan +1
The static Love numbers of black holes vanish in classical, four-dimensional, asymptotically flat General Relativity. We study how this changes for the response of near-extremal Re…
Accelerating black holes in higher-derivative gravity
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Simen Jacobs
Accelerating black holes in General Relativity are described by the C-metric. We study how this geometry is modified by higher-derivative corrections, focusing on cubic curvature t…
Amplification of new physics in the quasinormal mode spectrum of highly-rotating black holes
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde
We show that perturbatively-small higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action can lead to order-one modifications of the quasinormal mode spectrum of near-extremal…
Eikonal quasinormal modes of highly-spinning black holes in higher-curvature gravity: a window into extremality
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David, Guido van der Velde
We carry out the first computation of gravitational quasinormal modes of black holes with arbitrary rotation in a theory with higher-derivative corrections. Our analysis focuses on…
Microstates of AdS black holes with hypermultiplets
Marina David, Annelien Vekemans
We construct supersymmetric rotating AdS black holes in 5d gauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets and a universal hypermultiplet, and verify their…
Isospectrality in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David
Two universal predictions of general relativity are the propagation of gravitational waves of large momentum along null geodesics and the isospectrality of quasinormal modes in man…
Teukolsky equation for near-extremal black holes beyond general relativity: near-horizon analysis
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David
We study gravitational perturbations on the near-horizon region of extremal and near-extremal rotating black holes in a general higher-derivative extension of Einstein gravity. We…
Near-horizon geometries and black hole thermodynamics in higher-derivative AdS supergravity
Pablo A. Cano, Marina David
Higher-derivative corrections in the AdS/CFT correspondence allow us to capture finer details of the dual CFT and to explore the holographic dictionary beyond the infinite N and st…
Thermodynamics of black holes with probe D-branes
Alejandro Cabo-Bizet, Marina David, Alfredo González Lezcano
Understanding how the thermodynamic properties of a black hole are modified when probed by D-branes is an important problem in AdS/CFT. This work focuses on a recently proposed bla…
