GW250114: testing Hawking's area law and the Kerr nature of black holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1785
The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence o…
Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1682
The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensiti…
A Higher Dimensional Stationary Rotating Black Hole Must be Axisymmetric
Stefan Hollands, Akihiro Ishibashi, Robert M. Wald
A key result in the proof of black hole uniqueness in 4-dimensions is that a stationary black hole that is ``rotating''--i.e., is such that the stationary Killing field is not ever…
On the Renormalization Group in Curved Spacetime
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald
We define the renormalization group flow for a renormalizable interacting quantum field in curved spacetime via its behavior under scaling of the spacetime metric, $\g \to λ^2 \g$.…
On the topology of stationary black holes
P. T. Chrusciel, R. M. Wald
We prove that the domain of outer communication of a stationary, globally hyperbolic spacetime satisfying the null energy condition must be simply connected. Under suitable additio…
The First Law of Black Hole Mechanics
Robert M. Wald
A simple proof of a strengthened form of the first law of black hole mechanics is presented. The proof is based directly upon the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity, and…
