E Berti, E Barausse, V Cardoso… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
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

SL Liebling, C Palenzuela - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Numerical methods for finding stationary gravitational solutions

ÓJC Dias, JE Santos, B Way - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled
the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to matter) …

On the nonlinear stability of asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions

OJC Dias, GT Horowitz, D Marolf… - Classical and Quantum …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
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

A Buchel, SL Liebling, L Lehner - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2013 - APS
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

B Craps, O Evnin, J Vanhoof - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
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

M Maliborski, A Rostworowski - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
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 …
