General Relativity is a hugely successful description of gravitation. However, both theory and observations suggest that General Relativity might have significant classical and quantum corrections in the Strong Gravity regime. Testing the strong field limit of gravity is one of the main objectives of the future gravitational wave detectors. One way to detect strong gravity is through the polarization of gravitational waves. For quasi-normal modes of black-holes in General Relativity, the two polarization states of gravitational waves have the same amplitude and frequency spectrum. Using the principle of energy conservation, we show that the polarizations differ for modified gravity theories. We obtain a diagnostic parameter for polarization mismatch that provides a unique way to distinguish General Relativity and modified gravity theories in gravitational wave detectors.

AbstractWe review the current status of general relativistic studies for coalescences of black hole–neutron star binaries. First, high-precision computations of black hole–neutron star binaries in quasiequilibrium circular orbits are summarized, focusing on the quasiequilibrium sequences and the mass-shedding limit. Next, the current status of numerical-relativity simulations for the merger of black hole–neutron star binaries is described. We summarize our understanding for the merger process, tidal disruption and its criterion, properties of the merger remnant and ejected material, gravitational waveforms, and gravitational-wave spectra. We also discuss expected electromagnetic counterparts to black hole–neutron star coalescences.


By choosing the metric (called physical metric) in general relativity as the exact solution to the Einstein equation that fits the time delay data, one can determine the size and gravitational redshift on the surface of compact objects (neutron stars and black holes). The author shows that the physical metric is invariant by rotation. As a result, the frequencies of gravitational waves from pulsars are represented as n * f / for pulsar frequency f and harmonics n. Based on this result, the author has identified potential pulsar candidates with gravitational wave spectra. This result will be critical in the study of gravitational redshift of compact objects.

There is marginal evidence that the quintessential form of matter responsible for the acceleration of the universe observed today has ratio between pressure and energy density w < -1. Such a regime, called superacceleration, cannot be achieved with conventional scalar field models. The simplest nonexotic model achieving superacceleration is that of a scalar field nonminimally coupled to the Ricci curvature. This model is studied for general potentials and an exact superaccelerating solution is presented. In quintessential inflation, the model can have blue gravitational wave spectra, improving the prospects for the detection of cosmological gravitational waves.
