LensWatch: I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly-Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

J. D. R. Pierel, N. Arendse, S. Ertl +39

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply-imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools…

TDCOSMO X. Automated Modeling of 9 Strongly Lensed Quasars and Comparison Between Lens Modeling Software

S. Ertl, S. Schuldt, S. H. Suyu +5

To use strong gravitational lenses as an astrophysical or cosmological probe, models of their mass distributions are often needed. We present a new, time-efficient automation code…

HOLISMOKES -- X. Comparison between neural network and semi-automated traditional modeling of strong lenses

S. Schuldt, S. H. Suyu, R. Canameras +4

Modeling of strongly gravitationally lensed galaxies is often required in order to use them as astrophysical or cosmological probes. With current and upcoming wide-field imaging su…

STRIDES: Automated uniform models for 30 quadruply imaged quasars

T. Schmidt, T. Treu, S. Birrer +68

Gravitational time delays provide a powerful one step measurement of , independent of all other probes. One key ingredient in time delay cosmography are high accuracy lens mod…

Lobachevsky holography in conformal Chern-Simons gravity

Mario Bertin, Sabine Ertl, Hossein Ghorbani +3

We propose Lobachevsky boundary conditions that lead to asymptotically H^2xR solutions. As an example we check their consistency in conformal Chern-Simons gravity. The canonical ch…

Canonical bifurcation in higher derivative, higher spin, theories

S. Deser, S. Ertl, D. Grumiller

We present a non-perturbative canonical analysis of the D=3 quadratic-curvature, yet ghost-free, model to exemplify a novel, "constraint bifurcation", effect. Consequences include…

Conformal Chern-Simons holography - lock, stock and barrel

Hamid Afshar, Branislav Cvetković, Sabine Ertl +2

We discuss a fine-tuning of rather generic three dimensional higher-curvature gravity actions that leads to gauge symmetry enhancement at the linearized level via partial masslessn…

Holograms of Conformal Chern-Simons Gravity

H. Afshar, B. Cvetkovic, S. Ertl +2

We show that conformal Chern-Simons gravity in three dimensions has various holographic descriptions. They depend on the boundary conditions on the conformal equivalence class and…

All stationary axi-symmetric local solutions of topologically massive gravity

Sabine Ertl, Daniel Grumiller, Niklas Johansson

We classify all stationary axi-symmetric solutions of topologically massive gravity into Einstein, Schrödinger, warped and generic solutions. We construct explicitly all local solu…

Erratum to `Instability in cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point', arXiv:0805.2610

Sabine Ertl, Daniel Grumiller, Niklas Johansson

We correct a sign in the first variation of the on-shell action of cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point and present the three equations affected by that s…
