Spontaneous scalarization of black holes and compact stars from a Gauss-Bonnet coupling
Hector O. Silva, Jeremy Sakstein, Leonardo Gualtieri +2
We identify a class of scalar-tensor theories with coupling between the scalar and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant that exhibit spontaneous scalarization for both black holes and compac…
Implications of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817 for Cosmological Scalar-Tensor Theories
Jeremy Sakstein, Bhuvnesh Jain
The LIGO/VIRGO collaboration has recently announced the detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star-neutron star merger (GW170817) and the simultaneous measurement of an o…
Tests of Gravity with Future Space-Based Experiments
Jeremy Sakstein
Future space-based tests of relativistic gravitation-laser ranging to Phobos, accelerometers in orbit, and optical networks surrounding Earth-will constrain the theory of gravity w…
Tests of Chameleon Gravity
Clare Burrage, Jeremy Sakstein
Theories of modified gravity where light scalars with non-trivial self-interactions and non-minimal couplings to matter-chameleon and symmetron theories-dynamically suppress deviat…
Quasi-normal modes of black holes in scalar-tensor theories with non-minimal derivative couplings
Ruifeng Dong, Jeremy Sakstein, Dejan Stojkovic
We study the quasi-normal modes of asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes in a class of shift-symmetric Horndeski theories where a gravitational scalar is derivatively coupled t…
Baryogenesis in Lorentz-violating gravity theories
Jeremy Sakstein, Adam R. Solomon
Lorentz-violating theories of gravity typically contain constrained vector fields. We show that the lowest-order coupling of such vectors to -symmetric scalars can n…
Tests of Gravity Theories Using Supermassive Black Holes
Jeremy Sakstein, Bhuvnesh Jain, Jeremy S. Heyl +1
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity generally violate the strong equivalence principle, namely compact objects have a suppressed coupling to the scalar force, causing them to fall sl…
Baryogenesis via Dark Matter-Induced Symmetry Breaking in the Early Universe
Jeremy Sakstein, Mark Trodden
We put forward a new proposal for generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe by making use of the dynamics of a scalar field coupled to dark matter. High dark…
