A comprehensive and detailed account of the physics of gravitational waves and their role in astrophysics and cosmology. The part on astrophysical sources of gravitational waves includes chapters on GWs from supernovae, neutron stars (neutron star normal modes, CFS instability, r-modes), black-hole perturbation theory (Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equations, Teukoslky equation for rotating BHs, quasi-normal modes) coalescing compact binaries (effective one-body formalism, numerical relativity), discovery of gravitational waves at the advanced LIGO interferometers (discoveries of GW150914, GW151226, tests of general relativity, astrophysical implications), supermassive black holes (supermassive black-hole binaries, EMRI, relevance for LISA and pulsar timing arrays). The part on gravitational waves and cosmology include discussions of FRW cosmology, cosmological perturbation theory (helicity decomposition, scalar and tensor perturbations, Bardeen variables, power spectra, transfer functions for scalar and tensor modes), the effects of GWs on the Cosmic Microwave Background (ISW effect, CMB polarization, E and B modes), inflation (amplification of vacuum fluctuations, quantum fields in curved space, generation of scalar and tensor perturbations, Mukhanov-Sasaki equation,reheating, preheating), stochastic backgrounds of cosmological origin (phase transitions, cosmic strings, alternatives to inflation, bounds on primordial GWs) and search of stochastic backgrounds with Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTA).

Abstract We describe a unitary scattering process, as observed from spatial infinity, of massless scalar particles on an asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black hole background. In order to do so, we split the problem in two different regimes governing the dynamics of the scattering process. The first describes the evolution of the modes in the region away from the horizon and can be analysed in terms of the effective Regge-Wheeler potential. In the near horizon region, where the Regge-Wheeler potential becomes insignificant, the WKB geometric optics approximation of Hawking’s is replaced by the near-horizon gravitational scattering matrix that captures non-perturbative soft graviton exchanges near the horizon. We perform an appropriate matching for the scattering solutions of these two dynamical problems and compute the resulting Bogoliubov relations, that combines both dynamics. This allows us to formulate an S-matrix for the scattering process that is manifestly unitary. We discuss the analogue of the (quasi)-normal modes in this setup and the emergence of gravitational echoes that follow an original burst of radiation as the excited black hole relaxes to equilibrium.

In this paper, we have studied a black hole in de Sitter space which has a conformally coupled scalar field in the background. This black hole is also known as the MTZ black hole. We have obtained exact values for the quasi-normal mode (QNM) frequencies under massless scalar field perturbations. We have demonstrated that when the black hole is near-extremal, that the wave equation for the massless scalar field simplifies to a Schrödinger type equation with the well-known Pöschl–Teller potential. We have also used sixth-order WKB approximation to compute QNM frequencies to compare with exact values obtained via the Pöschl–Teller method for comparison. As an application, we have obtained the area spectrum using modified Hods approach and show that it is equally spaced.

We studied the thermodynamics and spectroscopy of a 4-dimensional, z=0 Lifshitz black hole (Z0LBH). Using Wald’s entropy formula and the Hawking temperature, we derived the quasi-local mass of the Z0LBH. Based on the exact solution to the near-horizon Schrödinger-like equation (SLE) of the massive scalar waves, we computed the quasi-normal modes of the Z0LBH via employing the adiabatic invariant quantity for the Z0LBH. This study shows that the entropy and area spectra of the Z0LBH are equally spaced.

AbstractWe study quantum corrections at the horizon scale of a black hole induced by a Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) with a quadratic term in the momentum. The interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity manifests itself into a non-zero uncertainty in the location of the black hole radius, which turns out to be larger than the usual Schwarzschild radius. We interpret such an effect as a correction which makes the horizon disappear, as it happens in other models of quantum black holes already considered in literature. We name this kind of horizonless compact objects GUP stars. We also investigate some phenomenological aspects in the astrophysical context of binary systems and gravitational wave emission by discussing Love numbers, quasi-normal modes and echoes, and studying their behavior as functions of the GUP deformation parameter. Finally, we preliminarily explore the possibility to constrain such a parameter with future astrophysical experiments.

We studied the quasi-normal modes (QNM) of electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, extending previous works1,2 on the subject. Some of the electromagnetic modes do not oscillate, they only decay, since they have pure imaginary frequencies. The gravitational modes show peculiar features: the odd and even gravitational perturbations no longer have the same characteristic quasinormal frequencies. There is a special mode for odd perturbations whose behavior differs completely from the usual one in scalar1 and electromagnetic perturbation in an AdS spacetime, but has a similar behavior to the Schwarzschild black hole3 in an asymptotically flat spacetime: the imaginary part of the frequency goes as [Formula: see text], where r+ is the horizon radius. We also investigated the small black hole limit showing that the imaginary part of the frequency goes as [Formula: see text]. These results are important to the AdS/CFT4 conjecture since according to it the QNMs describe the approach to equilibrium in the conformal field theory. For other geometries see5,6.

We derive proper time Lyapunov exponent [Formula: see text] and coordinate time Lyapunov exponent [Formula: see text] for a regular Hayward class of black hole. The proper time corresponds to [Formula: see text] and the coordinate time corresponds to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is measured by the asymptotic observers both for Hayward black hole and for special case of Schwarzschild black hole. We compute their ratio as [Formula: see text] for time-like geodesics. In the limit of [Formula: see text] that means for Schwarzschild black hole this ratio reduces to [Formula: see text]. Using Lyapunov exponent, we investigate the stability and instability of equatorial circular geodesics. By evaluating the Lyapunov exponent, which is the inverse of the instability time scale, we show that, in the eikonal limit, the real and imaginary parts of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) is specified by the frequency and instability time scale of the null circular geodesics. Furthermore, we discuss the unstable photon sphere and radius of shadow for this class of black hole.
