Twisted BPS decoupling limits and AdS/CFT

Troels Harmark

BPS decoupling limits of string and M-theory have led to profound insights into gravity and non-perturbative quantum theory, most notably with the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this p…

Finite scalar field theory with SU(1,1) spacetime symmetry from near-BPS limits of SYM

Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Baiguera, Lihan Guo +2

In this work, we consider an interacting and matrix-valued scalar quantum field theory that emerges from a near-BPS decoupling limit of super Yang-Mills. The theory…

Tidal perturbations of an extreme mass ratio inspiral around a Kerr black hole

Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +3

We determine the metric of a Kerr black hole subject to external tidal fields using metric reconstruction techniques. Working within the Newman-Penrose formalism, we solve the Teuk…

Observable signature of magnetic tidal coupling in hierarchical triple systems

Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +3

We study hierarchical triple systems formed by a compact binary orbiting a supermassive black hole (SMBH), focusing on the role of relativistic magnetic tidal interactions. Extendi…

Strong-gravity precession resonances for binary systems orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole

Marta Cocco, Gianluca Grignani, Troels Harmark +2

Binary systems of compact objects in close orbit around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) may form in galactic nuclei, providing a unique environment to probe strong-gravity tidal e…
