Dynamical thin shells in black hole ringdown

Han-Wen Hu, Chen Lan, Zong-Kuan Guo

We study how a radially oscillating thin shell outside a black hole (BH) affects gravitational wave ringdown and derive matching conditions for polar and axial perturbations from t…

Effects of Poisson Isocurvature Perturbations on Induced Gravitational Waves

Zi-An Zhou, Cheng-Jun Fang, Zong-Kuan Guo

A sudden transition from an early matter-dominated era to a radiation-dominated era provides a representative mechanism for enhancing induced gravitational waves (GWs). In the prim…

Astrophysical Graviton Squeezing Can Be Hidden in the Far-Field

Cheng-Jun Fang, Zong-Kuan Guo, Zhen-Hong Lyu +3

While localized astrophysical sources can generate macroscopic graviton squeezing, their observable quantum signatures at far-field detectors remain unresolved. In this work, we in…

Parametric resonance amplification of gravitational waves in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity

Han-Wen Hu, Chen Lan, Zong-Kuan Guo

Within the effective field theory of dynamical Chern-Simons (dCS) gravity, we study parametric resonance amplification of gravitational waves driven by an oscillating environmental…

Fixing the Renormalization of Inflationary Loops via Ward Identities

Cheng-Jun Fang, Zong-Kuan Guo

Evaluating quantum loop corrections to curvature perturbations in non-attractor inflation presents theoretical ambiguities. A crucial aspect of this challenge lies in the unconstra…

Nonminimally coupled quintessence with sign-switching interaction

Jia-Qi Wang, Rong-Gen Cai, Zong-Kuan Guo +3

We propose a new nonminimally coupled quintessence model to account for the late-time dark energy dynamics indicated by recent Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) measureme…

Localized Steps toward ACT-Favored Inflation

Kai-Ge Zhang, Chengjie Fu, Jian-Feng He +1

Recent ACT measurements favor a scalar spectral index larger than the Planck value, posing a challenge to many single-field slow-roll inflation models. We show that a smooth, local…

Waveform stability of black hole ringdown with stochastic horizon structure

Han-Wen Hu, Cheng-Jun Fang, Zong-Kuan Guo

We examine the robustness of black hole ringdown to stochastic horizon-scale structure within an effective field framework in a proof-of-principle Schwarzschild setup.Consistent wi…

Low-finesse scattering and non-stationary dispersive dynamics of gravitational wave echoes

Han-Wen Hu, Cheng-Jun Fang, Zong-Kuan Guo

We study environmental echoes induced by a weak potential barrier outside a Schwarzschild black hole. In the low-finesse limit, the time domain response is governed by a sequence o…

Parity violating spectral dynamics of black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity

Han-Wen Hu, Chen Lan, Zong-Kuan Guo

We study how environmentally driven spectral instabilities of quasinormal modes respond to parity violating gravito-scalar coupling in black holes. Focusing on dynamical Chern-Simo…

One-loop corrections to infrared GWs is forbidden by symmetries

Cheng-Jun Fang, Han-Wen Hu, Zong-Kuan Guo

Small-scale scalar perturbations amplified during inflation can induce primordial gravitational waves through tensor-scalar interactions. A long-standing controversial issue is whe…

Bispectrum of induced gravitational waves in the poltergeist mechanism

Han-Wen Hu, Cheng-Jun Fang, Zhen-Min Zeng +1

In the poltergeist mechanism the enhancement of induced gravitational waves (GWs) occurs due to a sudden transition from an early matter-dominated era to the radiation-dominated er…

Ward Identity Constraints on Loop Corrections in Non-Attractor Inflation

Cheng-Jun Fang, Zhen-Hong Lyu, Chao Chen +1

The conservation of super-horizon curvature perturbations in strongly interacting inflationary models, particularly in the presence of quantum-loop corrections, remains a topic of…
