Implications of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for Tidal Love Numbers of Black Holes
Valerio De Luca, Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong
The Weak Gravity Conjecture indicates that extremal black holes in the low energy effective field theory should be able to decay. This criterion gives rise to non-trivial constrain…
Soft theorems for boosts and other time symmetries
Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Ilia Komissarov +3
We derive soft theorems for theories in which time symmetries -- symmetries that involve the transformation of time, an example of which are Lorentz boosts -- are spontaneously bro…
Stability of Hairy Black Holes in Shift-Symmetric Scalar-Tensor Theories via the Effective Field Theory Approach
Justin Khoury, Toshifumi Noumi, Mark Trodden +1
Shift-symmetric Horndeski theories admit an interesting class of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole solutions exhibiting time-dependent scalar hair. The properties of these solutio…
Bayesian Reasoning in Eternal Inflation: A Solution to the Measure Problem
Justin Khoury, Sam S. C. Wong
Probabilities in eternal inflation are traditionally defined as limiting frequency distributions, but a unique and unambiguous probability measure remains elusive. In this paper, w…
