Chern–Simons modified general relativity

S Alexander, N Yunes - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
Chern–Simons modified gravity is an effective extension of general relativity that captures
leading-order, gravitational parity violation. Such an effective theory is motivated by anomaly …

Fundamental theoretical bias in gravitational wave astrophysics<? format?> and the parametrized post-Einsteinian framework

N Yunes, F Pretorius - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
We consider the concept of fundamental bias in gravitational wave astrophysics as the
assumption that general relativity is the correct theory of gravity during the entire wave …

Testing general relativity with low-frequency, space-based gravitational-wave detectors

JR Gair, M Vallisneri, SL Larson, JG Baker - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2013 - Springer
We review the tests of general relativity that will become possible with space-based
gravitational-wave detectors operating in the∼ 10− 5− 1 Hz low-frequency band. The …

Slowly rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity:<? format?> Deformation quadratic in the spin

K Yagi, N Yunes, T Tanaka - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2012 - APS
We derive a stationary and axisymmetric black hole solution to quadratic order in the spin
angular momentum. The previously found, linear-in-spin terms modify the odd-parity sector …

N Yunes, F Pretorius - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
The low-energy limit of string theory contains an anomaly-canceling correction to the
Einstein-Hilbert action, which defines an effective theory: Chern-Simons (CS) modified …

Null geodesics and shadow of a rotating black hole in extended Chern-Simons modified gravity

L Amarilla, EF Eiroa, G Giribet - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
The Chern-Simons modification to general relativity in four dimensions consists of adding to
