Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations
One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

Dynamical boson stars
The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal as a model for particles. In
the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth configurations of …

Holographic thermalization, quasinormal modes and superradiance in Kerr-AdS
A bstract Black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds play a pivotal role in the

On the nonlinear stability of asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions
Despite the recent evidence that anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime is nonlinearly unstable, we
argue that many asymptotically AdS solutions are nonlinearly stable. This includes geons …

Boson stars in AdS spacetime
We construct boson stars in global anti–de Sitter (AdS) space and study their stability. Linear
perturbation results suggest that the ground state along with the first three excited state …

Renormalization group, secular term resummation and AdS (in) stability
A bstract We revisit the issues of non-linear AdS stability, its relation to growing (secular)
terms in naıve perturbation theory around the AdS background, and the need and possible …

Time-periodic solutions in an Einstein AdS–massless-scalar-field system
We construct time-periodic solutions for a system of a self-gravitating massless scalar field,
with a negative cosmological constant, in d+ 1 spacetime dimensions at spherical symmetry …
