Model-independent search for the quasinormal modes of gravitational wave echoes

Di Wu, Pengyuan Gao, Jing Ren +1

Postmerger gravitational wave echoes provide a unique opportunity to probe the near-horizon structure of astrophysical black holes, which may be modified due to nonperturbative qua…

Limits on High-Frequency Gravitational Waves in Planetary Magnetospheres

Tao Liu, Jing Ren, Chen Zhang

High-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) carry a wealth of information on the early Universe with a tiny comoving horizon and astronomical objects of small scale but with dense e…

Stochastic Wave Dark Matter with Fermi-LAT -ray Pulsar Timing Array

Hoang Nhan Luu, Tao Liu, Jing Ren +4

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) can detect disturbances in the fabric of spacetime on a galactic scale by monitoring the arrival time of pulses from millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Recent…

Hybrid stars may have an inverted structure

Chen Zhang, Jing Ren

We propose a new stellar structure of compact stars, the ``cross stars" that consist of a hadronic matter core and a quark matter crust, with an inverted structure compared to the…

On thermodynamics of compact objects

Ufuk Aydemir, Jing Ren

With the recent progress in observations of astrophysical black holes, it has become more important to understand in detail the physics of strongly gravitating horizonless objects.…

Pulsar Polarization Arrays

Tao Liu, Xuzixiang Lou, Jing Ren

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) consisting of widely distributed and well-timed millisecond pulsars can serve as a galactic interferometer to measure gravitational waves. With the same…

Gravitational wave echoes search with combs

Jing Ren, Di Wu

Gravitational wave echoes may provide a smoking gun signal for new physics in the immediate vicinity of black holes. As a quasiperiodic signal in time, echoes are characterized by…

Quantum nucleation of up-down quark matter and astrophysical implications

Jing Ren, Chen Zhang

Quark matter with only and quarks (QM) might be the ground state of baryonic matter at large baryon number . With , this has no d…

Not quite black holes as dark matter

Ufuk Aydemir, Bob Holdom, Jing Ren

Primordial black holes that survive until the present have been considered as a dark matter candidate. In this paper we argue that primordial 2-2-hole remnants provide a more promi…

Anatomy of a thermal black hole mimicker

Jing Ren

We are entering a new era to test the strong gravity regime around astrophysical black holes. The possibility that they are actually horizonless ultracompact objects and then free…

Probing Quartic Higgs Self-Interaction

Tao Liu, Kun-Feng Lyu, Jing Ren +1

The Higgs self-interactions play a crucial role for exploring the underlying mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the nature of the phase transition involved. In this art…

Gravitational wave echoes through new windows

Randy S. Conklin, Bob Holdom, Jing Ren

There has been a striking realization that physics resolving the black hole information paradox could imply postmerger gravitational wave echoes. We here report on evidence for ech…

Quark matter may not be strange

Bob Holdom, Jing Ren, Chen Zhang

If quark matter is energetically favored over nuclear matter at zero temperature and pressure then it has long been expected to take the form of strange quark matter (SQM), with co…

LHC Search of New Higgs Boson via Resonant Di-Higgs Production with Decays into 4W

Jing Ren, Rui-Qing Xiao, Maosen Zhou +3

Searching for new Higgs particle beyond the observed light Higgs boson h(125GeV) will unambiguously point to new physics beyond the standard model. We study the resonant production…

Not quite a black hole

Bob Holdom, Jing Ren

Astrophysical black hole candidates, although long thought to have a horizon, could be horizonless ultra-compact objects. This intriguing possibility is motivated by the black hole…

Quadratic gravity: from weak to strong

Bob Holdom, Jing Ren

More than three decades ago quadratic gravity was found to present a perturbative, renormalizable and asymptotically free theory of quantum gravity. Unfortunately the theory appear…

SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) Interpretation on the 750 GeV Diphoton Excess

Jing Ren, Jiang-Hao Yu

We propose that the SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) (aka G221) models could provide us a 750 GeV scalar resonance that may account for the diphoton excess observed at the LHC while satisfying…

Realizing Dark Matter and Higgs Inflation in Light of LHC Diphoton Excess

Shao-Feng Ge, Hong-Jian He, Jing Ren +1

LHC Run-2 has provided intriguing di-photon signals of a new resonance around 750GeV, which, if not due to statistical fluctuations, must call for new physics beyond the standard m…

A QCD analogy for quantum gravity

Bob Holdom, Jing Ren

Quadratic gravity presents us with a renormalizable, asymptotically free theory of quantum gravity. When its couplings grow strong at some scale, as in QCD, then this strong scale…
