Cavity effect in the quasinormal mode spectrum of topological stars
Pierre Heidmann, Nicholas Speeney, Emanuele Berti +1
We study scalar perturbations of topological solitons, smooth horizonless solutions in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory that correspond to coherent states of gravity via th…
Imaging Topological Solitons: the Microstructure Behind the Shadow
Pierre Heidmann, Ibrahima Bah, Emanuele Berti
We study photon geodesics in topological solitons that have the same asymptotic properties as Schwarzschild black holes. These are coherent states in string theory corresponding to…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
