[HTML][HTML] Model independent tests of the Kerr bound with extreme mass ratio inspirals

GA Piovano, A Maselli, P Pani - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
An outstanding prediction of general relativity is the fact that the angular momentum S of an
isolated black hole with mass μ is limited by the Kerr bound, S≤ G μ 2/c. Testing this …

[HTML][HTML] Holographic dual of the weak gravity conjecture

B McInnes - Nuclear Physics B, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The much-discussed Weak Gravity Conjecture is interesting and important in both
the asymptotically flat and the asymptotically AdS contexts. In the latter case, it is natural to …

Spinning compact objects in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

GA Piovano - 2022 - iris.uniroma1.it
Since the first landmark observation of gravitational waves (GWs) in 2015, GW astronomy
has tremendously impacted fundamental physics and astrophysics. A network of four ground …
