Accurate models of gravitational waves from merging black holes are necessary for
detectors to observe as many events as possible while extracting the maximum science …

[HTML][HTML] Continuum and discrete initial-boundary value problems and Einstein's field equations

O Sarbach, M Tiglio - Living reviews in relativity, 2012 - Springer
Many evolution problems in physics are described by partial differential equations on an
infinite domain; therefore, one is interested in the solutions to such problems for a given …

Ghost instabilities in self-interacting vector fields: The problem with proca fields

K Clough, T Helfer, H Witek, E Berti - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Massive vector fields feature in several areas of particle physics, eg, as carriers of weak
interactions, dark matter candidates, or an effective description of photons in a plasma. Here …

Black holes and binary mergers in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity: scalar field dynamics

H Witek, L Gualtieri, P Pani, TP Sotiriou - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We study the nonlinear dynamics of black holes that carry scalar hair and binaries
composed of such black holes. The scalar hair is due to a linear or exponential coupling …

Spin-induced dynamical scalarization, descalarization, and stealthness in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity during a black hole coalescence

M Elley, HO Silva, H Witek, N Yunes - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Particular couplings between a scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant lead to
spontaneous scalarization of black holes. Here, we continue our work on simulating this …

Template bank for gravitational waveforms from coalescing binary black holes:<? format?> Nonspinning binaries

coalescences can be modeled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in …

3+ 1 formalism and bases of numerical relativity

E Gourgoulhon - arxiv preprint gr-qc/0703035, 2007 - arxiv.org
These lecture notes provide some introduction to the 3+ 1 formalism of general relativity,
which is the foundation of most modern numerical relativity. The text is rather self-contained …
