A Cuscuton Representation of the Loop Quantum Cosmology Bounce
Niayesh Afshordi, Kristina Giesel
Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) replaces the big bang singularity of the homogeneous universe by a bounce, usually described by the modified Friedmann equation $H^2=ρ(1-ρ/ρ_c)/(3M_p^2…
Self-regularized entropy: What does black hole entropy predict for tests of Kerr no-hair theorem?
Shokoufe Faraji, Niayesh Afshordi
We compute the canonical, or brick-wall, entropy of a massless scalar field in a quantum black hole model whose strong field exterior is described phenomenologically by the static…
Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65
The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…
Copenhagen Survey on Black Holes and Fundamental Physics
Alice Y. Chen, Phil Halper, Niayesh Afshordi
The purpose of this survey is to take a snapshot of the attitudes of physicists working on some of the most pressing questions in modern physics, which may be useful to sociologist…
Exploring Born-Infeld f(T) teleparallel gravity through accretion disk dynamics
Ruijing Tang, Shokoufe Faraji, Niayesh Afshordi
Teleparallel Born-Infeld gravity (TBI) is a modified theory of gravity that aims to maintain second order field equations, leading to alternative scenarios for strong gravity and c…
Black Holes Inside and Out 2024: visions for the future of black hole physics
Niayesh Afshordi, Abhay Ashtekar, Enrico Barausse +27
The gravitational physics landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by our ability to study strong-field regions, in particular black holes. Black Holes Inside and Out gathered world e…
