abstract

Vorticity has recently been suggested to be a property of highly-spinning black holes. The connection between vorticity and limiting spin represents a universal feature shared by objects of maximal microstate entropy, so-called saturons. Using $Q$-ball-like saturons as a laboratory for black holes, we study the collision of two such objects and find that vorticity can have a large impact on the emitted radiation as well as on the charge and angular momentum of the final configuration. As black holes belong to the class of saturons, we expect that the formation of vortices can cause similar effects in black hole mergers, leading to macroscopic deviations in gravitational radiation. This could leave unique signatures detectable with upcoming gravitational-wave searches, which can thereby serve as a portal to macroscopic quantum effects in black holes.

  1. Soft Oscillons

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Scalar fields with plateau potentials support soft oscillons: localized, long-lived oscillations with arbitrarily large radius, frequency set by the radius, and evaporation power scaling linearly or quadratically with radius.

  2. Black Hole Memory Burden and its Signatures in Gravitational Waves from Mergers

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Swift memory burden shifts black-hole quasinormal-mode frequencies by an amount set by the memory-load parameter μ and critical exponent p, with μ able to exceed the progenitor's information content.

  3. The fast, the slow and the merging: probes of evaporating memory burdened PBHs

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffuse gamma-ray and neutrino data, plus CMB ionization limits, constrain the memory-burden parameters k, q, and delta for primordial black holes and narrow viable dark matter masses to a broad but testable window.

  4. Light scalars in light of UV/IR mixing: classicalization via synergy between Vainshtein and chameleon screenings

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.
