Journal Article

We study spherical collapse of a scalar cloud in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity—a theory in which black holes can develop scalar hair if they are in a certain mass range. We show that an additional quadratic coupling of the scalar field to the Ricci sca... Read More about Spherical collapse in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity: Taming ill-posedness with a Ricci coupling.

Refined linearly anisotropic couple-stress elasticity (2024)
Journal Article
Soldatos, K. P. (2024). Refined linearly anisotropic couple-stress elasticity. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, https://doi.org/10.1177/10812865231222898

A recently developed, refined version of the conventional linear couple-stress theory of isotropic elasticity is extended to include the influence of anisotropic material effects. With this development, the implied refined theory (1) retains ability... Read More about Refined linearly anisotropic couple-stress elasticity.

Incompatibility of gravity theories with auxiliary fields with the standard model (2024)
Journal Article
Ventagli, G., Pani, P., & Sotiriou, T. P. (2024). Incompatibility of gravity theories with auxiliary fields with the standard model. Physical Review D, 109(4), Article 044002. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.109.044002

Theories of gravity with auxiliary fields are of particular interest since they are able to circumvent Lovelock’s theorem while avoiding the introduction of new degrees of freedom. This type of theories introduces derivatives of the stress-energy ten... Read More about Incompatibility of gravity theories with auxiliary fields with the standard model.

Relativistic Perturbation Theory for Black-Hole Boson Clouds (2024)
Journal Article

We develop a relativistic perturbation theory for scalar clouds around rotating black holes. We first introduce a relativistic product and corresponding orthogonality relation between modes, extending a recent result for gravitational perturbations....
