Static Tidal Perturbations of Relativistic Stars: Corrected Center Expansion and Love Numbers-I
Emel Altas, Ercan Kilicarslan, Onur Oktay +1
We revisit static tidal perturbations of relativistic stars with emphasis on two technical issues in the standard quadrupolar formulation. First, we derive the regular-center Frobe…
Kerr-Schild perturbations in higher derivative gravity theories in dimensions
Ercan Kilicarslan
We study Kerr-Schild perturbations of a ghost-free, generic non-local gravity theory constructed from an infinite series of higher derivative terms in dimensions. The infinite…
Solutions with pure radiation and gyratons in 3D massive gravity theories
Ercan Kilicarslan, Ivan Kolář
We find exact solutions of topologically massive gravity (TMG) and new massive gravity (NMG) in dimensions (3D) with an arbitrary cosmological constant, pure radiation, and…
Anomalous Dispersion in Gravity Theories
Emel Altas, Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
A wave pulse (be it a gravitational wave or a light wave) undergoes anomalous dispersion in a vacuum in flat spacetimes with an even number of spatial dimensions even if all the fr…

Mohammad Reza Setare, Seyed Naseh Sajadi, Suat Dengiz +1
We study the generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) in Compere, Song and Strominger boundary conditions employing a semi-product of a Virasoro and a Kac-Moody curr…
Exact gyratons in higher and infinite derivative gravity
Ivan Kolář, Tomáš Málek, Suat Dengiz +1
We study solutions describing spinning null sources called gyratons in generic theories of gravity with terms that are quadratic in curvature and contain an arbitrary number of cov…
Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory: Gauge Invariant Charges and Linearization Instability
Emel Altas, Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
We construct the gauge-invariant electric and magnetic charges in Yang-Mills theory coupled to cosmological General Relativity (or any other geometric gravity), extending the flat…
Impulsive waves in ghost free infinite derivative gravity in anti-de Sitter spacetime
Suat Dengiz, Ercan Kilicarslan, Ivan Kolář +1
We study exact impulsive gravitational waves propagating in anti-de Sitter spacetime in the context of the ghost free infinite derivative gravity. We show that the source-free theo…
Lee-Wald Charge and Asymptotic Behaviors of the Weyl-invariant Topologically Massive Gravity
Suat Dengiz, Ercan Kilicarslan, Mohammad Reza Setare
We apply the Lee-Wald covariant phase space method to the Weyl-invariant Topologically Massive Gravity and compute the corresponding on-shell conserved charges. By using appropriat…

Atanu Bhatta, Shankhadeep Chakrabortty, Suat Dengiz +1
In this work, we perform a holographic analysis to study non local observables associated to a uniformly \textit{boosted} strongly coupled large thermal plasma in -dimension…
Exotic Massive Gravity: Causality and a Birkhoff-like Theorem
Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
We study the local causality issue via the Shapiro time-delay computations in the on-shell consistent exotic massive gravity in three dimensions. The theory shows time-delay as opp…
-waves as exact solutions to ghost-free infinite derivative gravity
Ercan Kilicarslan
We construct exact pp-wave solutions of ghost-free infinite derivative gravity and demonstrate that the sourceless theory does not bring any pp-wave solutions save for that of Eins…

In this note, we discuss the gravitational memory effect in higher derivative and infinite derivative gravity theories and give the detailed relevant calculations whose results wer…
Weak Field Limit of Infinite Derivative Gravity
Ercan Kilicarslan
A form of infinite derivative gravity is free from ghost-like instabilities with improved small scale behavior. In this theory, we calculate the tree-level scattering amplitude and…
Graviton Mass and Memory
Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
Gravitational memory, a residual change, arises after a finite gravitational wave pulse interacts with free masses. We calculate the memory effect in massive gravity as a function…
Topologically Massive Gravity: Anyon Scattering, Weyl-Gauging and Causality

In this thesis, we studied the Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) in two perspectives. Firstly, by using real scalar and abelian gauge fields, we built the Weyl-invariant extensio…
Unitarity Problems in 3 Gravity Theories
Gokhan Alkac, Luca Basanisi, Ercan Kilicarslan +1
We revisit the problem of the bulk-boundary unitarity clash in 2 + 1 dimensional gravity theories, which has been an obstacle in providing a viable dual two-dimensional conformal f…
Causality in 3D Massive Gravity Theories
Jose D. Edelstein, Gaston Giribet, Carolina Gomez +3
We study the constraints coming from local causality requirement in various dimensional dynamical theories of gravity. In topologically massive gravity, with a single parity…
Asymptotically flat black holes in 2+1 dimensions
Gokhan Alkac, Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
Asymptotically flat black holes in dimensions are a rarity. We study the recently found black flower solutions (asymptotically flat black holes with deformed horizons), stati…
More on Cotton Flow
Ercan Kilicarslan, Suat Dengiz, Bayram Tekin
Cotton flow tends to evolve a given initial metric on a three manifold to a conformally flat one. Here we expound upon the earlier work on Cotton flow and study the linearized vers…
