Searching for cosmic strings via black hole spin-down
Sameer Ahmed, Michael J. Kavic, Steven L. Liebling +3
Cosmic strings that are attached to rapidly spinning black holes can extract significant amounts of rotational energy and angular momentum. Here we study the effect on primordial b…
Stability and Observability of Magnetic Primordial Black Hole-Neutron Star Collisions
John Estes, Michael Kavic, Steven L. Liebling +2
The collision of a primordial black hole with a neutron star results in the black hole eventually consuming the entire neutron star. However, if the black hole is magnetically char…
Novel semi-circle law and Hall sliding in a strongly interacting electron liquid
Niko Jokela, Matti Järvinen, Matthew Lippert
We study a strongly interacting, fermionic fluid in the presence of an applied magnetic field using a holographic framework. At low temperatures, translation symmetry is spontaneou…
Accessing the axion via compact object binaries
Michael Kavic, Steven L. Liebling, Matthew Lippert +1
Black holes in binaries with other compact objects can provide natural venues for indirect detection of axions or other ultralight fields. The superradiant instability associated w…
Holographic pinning
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Matthew Lippert
In a holographic probe-brane model exhibiting a spontaneously spatially modulated ground state, we introduce explicit sources of symmetry breaking in the form of ionic and antiferr…
Probing Near-Horizon Fluctuations with Black Hole Binary Mergers
Steven L. Liebling, Michael Kavic, Matthew Lippert
The strong version of the nonviolent nonlocality proposal of Giddings predicts "strong but soft" quantum metric fluctuations near black hole horizons in an attempt to resolve the i…
