Analytical Fluxes from Generic Schwarzschild Geodesics

Majed Khalaf, Chris Kavanagh, Ofri Telem

We present an analytic method for computing gravitational-wave fluxes from bound Schwarzschild geodesics with arbitrary eccentricity. Our approach systematically expands the Fourie…

Dissipative Losses In Black Hole-Induced Vacuum Decay

Michael Geller, Ofri Telem

We address the long-standing puzzle of false vacuum decay catalyzed by black holes. Naively, small black holes with large Hawking temperatures can generate highly-boosted true vacu…

Non-Abelian and Type-A Conformal Anomalies from Euler Descent

Gleb Aminov, Csaba Csáki, Ofri Telem +1

We classify the non-Abelian anomaly of the Euclidean conformal group in dimensions via Stora-Zumino descent from its Euler invariant polynomial in dimensio…

Phase Transitions at Unusual Values of

Csaba Csáki, Teruhiko Kawano, Hitoshi Murayama +1

We calculate the dependence in a cousin of QCD, where the vacuum structure can be analyzed exactly. The theory is gauge theory with flavo…

The Quantum Spectral Method: From Atomic Orbitals to Classical Self-Force

Majed Khalaf, Ofri Telem

Can classical systems be described analytically at all orders in their interaction strength? For periodic and approximately periodic systems, the answer is yes, as we show in this…

Bound-Unbound Universality and the All-Order Semi-Classical Wave Function in Schwarzschild

Majed Khalaf, Chia-Hsien Shen, Ofri Telem

We present a systematic method for analytically computing time-dependent observables for a relativistic probe particle in Coulomb and Schwarzschild backgrounds. The method generate…
