Nonlinear tails in the Kerr black hole ringdown
Siyang Ling, Sam S. C. Wong
Power law tails induced by nonlinearities of General Relativity (``sourced'' or ``nonlinear'' tails) were recently shown to dominate the late time waveform of Schwarzschild black h…

Extremal Love: tidal/electromagnetic deformability, logarithmic running and the weak gravity conjecture
Toshifumi Noumi, Sam S. C. Wong
In General Relativity, the tidal Love numbers of black holes vanish, implying they are resistant to tidal deformation. This "rigidity" is easily broken in the presence of higher-de…

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…
