Ringdowns for black holes with scalar hair: The large mass case (2024)
Journal Article
D’Addario, G., Padilla, A., Saffin, P. M., Sotiriou, T. P., & Spiers, A. (2024). Ringdowns for black holes with scalar hair: The large mass case. Physical Review D, 109(8), Article 084046. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.109.084046

Deviations from general relativity can alter the quasinormal mode (QNM) ringdown of perturbed black holes. It is known that a shift-symmetric (hence massless) scalar can only introduce black hole hair if it couples to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant, in w...

Colliding branes and big crunches (2011)
Journal Article
Omotani, J., Saffin, P. M., & Louko, J. (2011). Colliding branes and big crunches. Physical Review D, 84(6), Article 063526. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.84.063526

We examine the global structure of colliding domain walls in AdS spacetime and come to the conclusion that singularities forming from such collisions are of the big-crunch type rather than that of a black brane.
