Dynamical tidal response of Kerr black holes from scattering amplitudes

MVS Saketh, Z Zhou, MM Ivanov - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We match scattering amplitudes in point particle effective field theory (EFT) and general
relativity to extract low frequency dynamical tidal responses of rotating (Kerr) black holes to …

From amplitudes to gravitational radiation with cubic interactions and tidal effects

M Accettulli Huber, A Brandhuber, S De Angelis… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We study the effect of cubic and tidal interactions on the spectrum of gravitational waves
emitted in the inspiral phase of the merger of two nonspinning objects. There are two …

Hidden symmetry of the static response of black holes: applications to Love numbers

JB Achour, ER Livine, S Mukohyama… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer

Spin supplementary condition in quantum field theory: covariant SSC and physical state projection

JW Kim, J Steinhoff - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The spin supplementary conditions are constraints on spin degrees of freedom in
classical relativity which restricts physical degrees of freedom to rotations. It is argued that …

Tidal response from scattering and the role of analytic continuation

G Creci, T Hinderer, J Steinhoff - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The tidal response of a compact object is a key gravitational-wave observable encoding
information about its interior. This link is subtle due to the nonlinearities of general relativity …

Stability of relativistic tidal response against small potential modification

T Katagiri, H Nakano, K Omukai - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The tidal response of compact objects in an inspiraling binary system is measured by a set
of tidal Love and dissipation numbers imprinted in the gravitational waveforms. While a four …

Absorptive Effects in Black Hole Scattering

YF Bautista, YT Huang, JW Kim - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.03382, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper we define absorptive Compton amplitudes, which captures the absorption
factor for waves of spin-weight-$ s $ scattering in black hole perturbation theory. At the …

Probing horizon scale quantum effects with Love

S Datta - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Future gravitational wave (GW) detectors have been projected to be able to probe the nature
