It is well known that two permanent magnets of fixed orientation will either always repel or attract one another regardless of the distance between them. However, if one magnet is rotated at sufficient speed, a stable position at a given equilibrium distance can exist for a second free magnet. The equilibrium is produced by magnetic forces alone, w...

We compute the Quasi-Normal Mode (QNM) frequencies for scalar perturbations for modified Schwarzschild black holes in Loop Quantum Gravity. We study the singularity-free polymerized metric characterized by two parameters encoding loop quantum effects: the minimal area gap a 0 and the polymeric deformation parameter P. We perform numerical computati...

This work focuses on gravitational perturbations of black holes in the self-accelerating branch of the minimal theory of massive gravity (MTMG). This theory is a healthy extension of general relativity (GR) which displays the feature of massive tensor modes, without additional polarizations, strong-coupling issues nor requiring screening mechanisms...

We investigate quadratic algebraically special perturbations (ASPs) of the Schwarzschild black hole. Their dynamics are derived from the expansion up to second order in perturbation of the most general algebraically special twisting vacuum solution of general relativity. Following this strategy, we present analytical expressions for the axial-axial...

We present and analyze a new non-perturbative radiative solution of Horndeski gravity. This exact solution is constructed by a disformal mapping of a seed solution of the shift-symmetric Einstein-Scalar system belonging to the Robinson-Trautman geometry describing the gravitational radiation emitted by a time-dependent scalar monopole. After analyz...

We present a novel approach to the numerical computation of quasi-normal modes, based on the first-order (in radial derivative) formulation of the equations of motion and using a matrix version of the continued fraction method. This numerical method is particularly suited to the study of static black holes in modified gravity, where the traditional...

We consider axial (or odd-parity) perturbations of non-spinning hairy black holes (BH) in shift-symmetric DHOST (Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor) theories, including terms quartic and cubic in second derivatives of the scalar field. We give a new formulation of the effective metric in which axial perturbations propagate as in general relativi...

The recent first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole mergers has spurred a renewed interest in possible deviations from General Relativity (GR), since they could be detected in the GWs emitted by such systems. Of particular interest is the ringdown phase of a binary black hole merger, which can be described by linear pertu...

We study linear perturbations about non rotating black hole solutions in scalar-tensor theories, more specifically Horndeski theories. We consider two particular theories that admit known hairy black hole solutions. The first one, Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory, contains a Gauss-Bonnet term coupled to a scalar field, and its black hole solutio...

We study axial (or odd-parity) perturbations about static and spherically symmetric hairy black hole (BH) solutions in shift-symmetric DHOST (Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor) theories. We first extend to the family of DHOST theories the first-order formulation that we recently developed for Horndeski theories. Remarkably, we find that the dyn...

We study the linear perturbations about a nonrotating black hole solution of Horndeski's theory, using a systematic approach that extracts the asymptotic behaviour of perturbations (at spatial infinity and near the horizon) directly from the first-order radial differential system governing these perturbations instead of finding Schr\"odinger-like e...

The traditional approach to perturbations of nonrotating black holes in general relativity uses the reformulation of the equations of motion into a radial second-order Schrödinger-like equation, whose asymptotic solutions are elementary. Imposing specific boundary conditions at spatial infinity and near the horizon defines, in particular, the quasi...

We present a novel and remarkably simple formulation of degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories whose Lagrangian is quadratic in the second derivatives of some scalar field. Using disformal transformations of the metric, we identify a special “frame” (or metric) for which the Lagrangian of quadratic DHOST theories reduces to the usua...

Cryptography techniques rely on chains of random numbers used to generate safe encryption keys. Since random number generator algorithms are in fact pseudo-random their behavior can be predicted if the generation method is known and as such they cannot be used for perfectly safe communications. In this article, we present a perfectly random generat...
