On the Asymptotic Causal Structure in Gravitational EFTs
Bruno Bucciotti, Paolo Creminelli, Alessandro Longo +2
It is usually assumed that a healthy EFT should not allow superluminal propagation. In the presence of gravity, however, the notion of superluminality becomes subtle, since there i…
Unraveling the Spectrum of the Open String
Bruno Bucciotti, Felipe Figueroa, Guilherme L. Pimentel
We construct a large portion of the massive spectrum of the open bosonic string using light-cone quantization, providing explicit oscillator realizations for individual single-part…
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +70
The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…
Ringdown nonlinearities in the eikonal regime
Bruno Bucciotti, Vitor Cardoso, Adrien Kuntz +2
The eikonal limit of black hole quasinormal modes (the large multipole limit ) can be realized geometrically as a next-to-leading order solution to the geometric optics…
Amplitudes and Polarizations of Quadratic Quasi-Normal Modes for a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Bruno Bucciotti, Leonardo Juliano, Adrien Kuntz +1
General Relativity predicts the existence of quadratic quasi-normal modes at second order in perturbation theory. Building on our recent work, we compute the amplitudes and polariz…
Quadratic Quasi-Normal Modes of a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Bruno Bucciotti, Leonardo Juliano, Adrien Kuntz +1
Quadratic quasi-normal modes, generated at second order in black hole perturbation theory, are a promising target for testing gravity in the nonlinear regime with next-generation g…
