Gravitational waves and higher dimensions: Love numbers and Kaluza-Klein excitations
read the original abstract
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations provide a wealth of information on the nature and properties of black holes. Among these, tidal Love numbers or the multipole moments of the inspiralling and final objects are key to a number of constraints. Here, we consider these observations in the context of higher-dimensional scenarios, with flat large extra dimensions. We show that -- as might be anticipated, but not always appreciated in the literature -- physically motivated set-ups are unconstrained by gravitational-wave data. Dynamical processes that do not excite the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes lead to a signal identical to that in four-dimensional general relativity in vacuum . In addition, any possible excitation of the KK modes is highly suppressed relative to the dominant quadrupolar term; given existing constraints on the extra dimensions and the masses of the objects seen in gravitational-wave observations, KK modes appear at post-Newtonian order $\sim 10^{11}$. Finally, we re-compute the tidal Love numbers of spherical black holes in higher dimensions. We confirm that these are different from zero, but comparing with previous computations we find a different magnitude and sign.

Dynamical tidal Love numbers of black holes under generic perturbations: Connecting black hole perturbation theory with effective field theory
Dynamical tidal Love numbers for Kerr black holes are obtained to linear frequency order by matching EFT worldline couplings to black-hole perturbation solutions, including spin-induced mode mixing.

Fermionic Love number of higher-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes
Fermionic tidal Love numbers for D-dimensional RN black holes remain nonzero for all angular momentum l (except extremal cases) and lose their l-dependence as D grows to infinity.

Tidal Response and Thermodynamics of Black Holes
A new gauge-invariant effective action computes black hole Love numbers without Regge-Wheeler methods, and these numbers determine leading thermodynamic corrections under external perturbations.

On the logarithmic Love number of black holes beyond general relativity
Logarithmic black hole Love numbers are fixed directly by the Taylor coefficients of the perturbation equation, and perturbative deviations from Schwarzschild/Reissner-Nordström force non-zero running.

Tidal deformation of an accreting compact object
For perfectly reflecting Schwarzschild-like ECOs, the log-compactness scaling of static scalar and spin-1 Love numbers survives a thin accretion disk, which mainly amplifies the response magnitude.
