Quadratic gravity corrections to scalar QNMs of rapidly rotating black holes
Stef J. B. Husken, Tom van der Steen, Simon Maenaut +6
In an effective-field-theory framework for gravity, black-hole quasinormal mode spectra acquire corrections in quadratic-curvature, scalar-tensor extensions of general relativity.…
Ringing of rapidly rotating black holes in effective field theory
Tom van der Steen, Simon Maenaut, Stef J. B. Husken +5
Within the effective field theory approach to gravity, deviations from general relativity can be systematically described by higher-curvature operators. However, computing the resu…
Holographic (Eternal) Inflation
Thomas Hertog, Jef Pauwels, Victoria Venken
We identify a minisuperspace of complex deformations of ABJM theory for which the partition function specifies the amplitude of an eternally inflating universe. The boundary theory…
Quasinormal modes of rotating black holes in higher-derivative gravity
Pablo A. Cano, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog +1
We compute the spectrum of linearized gravitational excitations of black holes with substantial angular momentum in the presence of higher-derivative corrections to general relativ…
Axion-de Sitter wormholes
Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Thomas Hertog, Rob Tielemans +2
We construct wormholes supported by axion flux in the presence of a positive cosmological constant. The solutions describe compact, one-handle bodies colloquially known as kettlebe…
The Kontsevich-Segal Criterion in the No-Boundary State Constrains Inflation
Thomas Hertog, Oliver Janssen, Joel Karlsson
We show that the Kontsevich-Segal (KS) criterion, applied to the complex saddles that specify the semiclassical no-boundary wave function, acts as a selection mechanism on inflatio…
