Love numbers of black holes and compact objects
MarÃa J. RodrÃguez, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon
The Love numbers of a gravitating body are response coefficients encoding its tidal deformability. In compact binary systems, they appear in the gravitational waveform during the i…
Ladder Symmetries of Higher Dimensional Black Holes
Roman Berens, Lam Hui, Daniel McLoughlin +2
We compute the ladder operators for static tidal perturbations to higher-dimensional black holes. These operators map between solutions of the relevant equation of motion at differ…
Symmetries of Vanishing Nonlinear Love Numbers of Schwarzschild Black Holes
Oscar Combaluzier-Szteinsznaider, Lam Hui, Luca Santoni +2
The tidal Love numbers parametrize the conservative induced tidal response of self-gravitating objects. It is well established that asymptotically-flat black holes in four-dimensio…
Higher-Dimensional Black Holes and Effective Field Theory
Daniel Glazer, Austin Joyce, Maria J. Rodriguez +3
We study the scalar tidal responses of spinning higher-dimensional black holes, and their effective field theory description. After constructing the effective field theory of a spi…
