Quasinormal modes of black holes: From astrophysics to string theory

RA Konoplya, A Zhidenko - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
Perturbations of black holes, initially considered in the context of possible observations of
astrophysical effects, have been studied for the past 10 years in string theory, brane-world …

An overview of quasinormal modes in modified and extended gravity

F Moulin, A Barrau, K Martineau - Universe, 2019 - mdpi.com
As gravitational waves are now being nearly routinely measured with interferometers, the
question of using them to probe new physics becomes increasingly legitimate. In this article …

Strong coupling in Hořava gravity

C Charmousis, G Niz, A Padilla… - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
By studying perturbations about the vacuum, we show that Hořava gravity suffers from two
different strong coupling problems, extending all the way into the deep infra-red. The first of …

Quantum gravity without Lorentz invariance

TP Sotiriou, M Visser… - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
There has been a significant surge of interest in Hořava's model for 3+ 1 dimensional
quantum gravity, this model being based on anisotropic scaling at az= 3 Lifshitz point …

Shadows and rings of the Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole surrounded by thin disk accretion

GP Li, KJ He - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, under the illumination of thin disk accretion, we have employed the ray-tracing
method to carefully investigate shadows and rings of the Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS) black hole …

Dark matter as integration constant in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

S Mukohyama - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
In the nonrelativistic theory of gravitation recently proposed by Hořava, the Hamiltonian
constraint is not a local equation satisfied at each spatial point but an equation integrated …

Quasinormal modes of test fields around regular black holes

B Toshmatov, A Abdujabbarov, Z Stuchlík, B Ahmedov - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We study scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational test fields in the Hayward, Bardeen, and
Ayón-Beato-García regular black hole spacetimes and demonstrate that the test fields are …

The black hole and cosmological solutions in IR modified Hořava gravity

MI Park - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Recently Hořava proposed a renormalizable gravity theory in four dimensions which
reduces to Einstein gravity with a non-vanishing cosmological constant in IR but with …

Hořava–Lifshitz dark energy

EN Saridakis - The European Physical Journal C, 2010 - Springer
We formulate Hořava–Lifshitz cosmology with an additional scalar field that leads to an
effective dark energy sector. We find that, due to the inherited features from the gravitational …

Perturbative instabilities in Hořava gravity

C Bogdanos, EN Saridakis - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the scalar and tensor perturbations in Hořava gravity, with and without
detailed balance, around a flat background. Once both types of perturbations are taken into …
