Relativistic signatures of scalar dark matter in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

Robrecht Keijzer, Simon Maenaut, Henri Inchauspé +1

We study gravitational wave emission by circular extreme-mass-ratio systems in a spherically symmetric scalar environment. Previous studies have focused on the impact of scalar rad…

Good things always come in 3s: trimodality in the binary black-hole chirp-mass distribution supports bimodal black-hole formation

Reinhold Willcox, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Eva Laplace +7

The latest GWTC-4 release from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration nearly doubles the known population of double compact object mergers and reveals a new trimodal structure in…

The Doppler boosted LISA response to gravitational waves

Tom van der Steen, Henri Inchauspé, Thomas Hertog +1

Future space-based gravitational wave observatories like LISA, TianQin and Taji are expected to detect massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs),…

New gravitational-wave data support a bimodal black-hole mass distribution

R. Willcox, F. R. N. Schneider, E. Laplace +7

Detailed stellar evolution and supernova models yield a bimodal black-hole mass distribution with a narrow peak around 10 solar masses from stars within a narrow range of progenito…

Ringdown Analysis of Rotating Black Holes in Effective Field Theory Extensions of General Relativity

Simon Maenaut, Gregorio Carullo, Pablo A. Cano +4

Quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes were recently computed in a generic effective-field-theory extension of general relativity with higher-derivative corrections. We…

The Kontsevich-Segal Criterion in the No-Boundary State Constrains Anisotropy

Thomas Hertog, Oliver Janssen, Joel Karlsson

We show that the Kontsevich-Segal-Witten (KSW) criterion applied to the no-boundary state constrains anisotropic deformations of de Sitter space. We consider squashed and $S^…

Stability of Axion-Saxion wormholes

T. Hertog, S. Maenaut, B. Missoni +2

We reconsider the perturbative stability of Euclidean axion wormholes. The quadratic action that governs linear perturbations is derived directly in Euclidean gravity. We demonstra…

Sharp Predictions from Eternal Inflation Patches in D-brane Inflation

Thomas Hertog, Oliver Janssen

We numerically generate the six-dimensional landscape of D3-brane inflation and identify patches of eternal inflation near sufficiently flat inflection points of the potential. We…
