Nonlinear evolution in Galileon EFTs: Regularization and screening

Farid Thaalba, Aaron Held, Ramiro Cayuso +1

In a scalar effective field theory (EFT) with Galileon symmetry, we distinguish the strong-field expansion from the derivative expansion and study spherically symmetric classical n…

Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity

Johanna Borissova, Breno L. Giacchini, Aaron Held

Quantum-gravitational effective actions with higher-derivative and non-local operators are expected to regularize the singularities of general relativity. Here we focus on quasi-lo…

Global stability of ghostly field theories: Classical scattering in dimensions

Aaron Held

We review results on small-data global stability and highlight their applicability to classical interacting scalar fields with opposite-sign kinetic terms (ghosts). Further, we pre…

Black-hole binaries and waveforms in Quadratic Gravity

Aaron Held, Hyun Lim

We report on the first numerical-relativity simulations of black-hole binaries that deviate from General Relativity due to quadratic-curvature corrections. Said theory of Quadratic…

Well-posed initial value formulation of general effective field theories of gravity

Pau Figueras, Aaron Held, Áron D. Kovács

We provide a proof that all polynomial higher-derivative effective field theories of vacuum gravity admit a well-posed initial value formulation when augmented by suitable regulari…

A Lensing-Band Approach to Spacetime Constraints

Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño, Aaron Held

General relativity's prediction that all black holes are described by the Kerr metric, irrespective of their size, can now be empirically tested using electromagnetic observations…
