Modelling self-consistently beyond General Relativity
read the original abstract
The majority of extensions to General Relativity display mathematical pathologies (higher derivatives, character change in equations that can be classified within PDE theory, and even unclassifiable ones) that cause severe difficulties to study them, especially in dynamical regimes. We present here an approach that enables their consistent treatment and extraction of physical consequences. We illustrate this method in the context of single and merging black holes in a highly challenging beyond GR theory.

A first-order formulation of f(R) gravity in spherical symmetry
A first-order nonlocal integro-differential system for the scalar field phi and curvature R is derived for f(R) gravity in spherical symmetry, extending Christodoulou's approach to allow analysis of solutions via hype...

Black hole mergers beyond general relativity: a self-force approach
Self-force theory is extended to compute merger and ringdown waveforms in beyond-GR black hole binaries under the extreme mass-ratio approximation, with first calculations of self-force corrections to the merger waveform.

GW250114: testing Hawking's area law and the Kerr nature of black holes
GW250114 data confirm the remnant black hole ringdown frequencies lie within 30% of Kerr predictions and that the final horizon area is larger than the sum of the progenitors' areas to high credibility.

Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object
Parameterized inspiral tests on GW230529 find consistency with GR, with |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} and ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ in ESGB theories.
