On Black Hole Area Quantization and Echoes
Andrew Coates, Sebastian H. Völkel, Kostas D. Kokkotas
In this work we argue that black hole area quantization of Bekenstein and Mukhanov should not give rise to measurable effects in terms of so-called gravitational wave echoes during…
The gravitational Higgs mechanism and resulting smoking gun effects
Verena Krall, Andrew Coates, Kostas D. Kokkotas
Recently, a toy model was introduced to demonstrate that screening mechanisms in alternative theories of gravitation can hide additional effects. In this model a scalar field is ch…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
Spectral Lines of Quantized, Spinning Black Holes and their Astrophysical Relevance
Andrew Coates, Sebastian H. Völkel, Kostas D. Kokkotas
In this Letter, we study black hole area quantization in the context of gravitational wave physics. It was recently argued that black hole area quantization could be a mechanism 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-…
