Finite scalar field theory with SU(1,1) spacetime symmetry from near-BPS limits of SYM
Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Baiguera, Lihan Guo +2
In this work, we consider an interacting and matrix-valued scalar quantum field theory that emerges from a near-BPS decoupling limit of super Yang-Mills. The theory…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Tidal perturbations of an extreme mass ratio inspiral around a Kerr black hole
Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +3
We determine the metric of a Kerr black hole subject to external tidal fields using metric reconstruction techniques. Working within the Newman-Penrose formalism, we solve the Teuk…
Observable signature of magnetic tidal coupling in hierarchical triple systems
Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +3
We study hierarchical triple systems formed by a compact binary orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH), focusing on the role of relativistic magnetic tidal interactions. Extendi…
Strong-gravity precession resonances for binary systems orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole
Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +2
Binary systems of compact objects in close orbit around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) may form in galactic nuclei, providing a unique environment to probe strong-gravity tidal e…
Conformal Mapping of Non-Lorentzian Geometries in SU(1,2) Conformal Field Theory
Stefano Baiguera, Troels Harmark, Yang Lei +1
We realize an explicit conformal mapping between the state and operator pictures in a class of (2+1)-dimensional non-Lorentzian field theories with SU(1,2)U(1) conformal sy…
