abstract

The leading corrections to General Relativity can be parametrized by higher-derivative interactions in a low-energy effective field theory, in a way that is general and agnostic to the precise UV completion of gravity. Using numerical methods, we compute the leading-order corrections to the Kerr metric across the entire range of sub-extremal values of spin and analyse their impact on physical quantities. We find that rapidly rotating black holes are most affected by the higher-derivative corrections, making them especially sensitive probes of new physics. A dataset of solutions and the code used to produce them are publicly available.

Kerr Black Hole Ringdown in Effective Field Theory

gr-qc · 2026-03-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Effective field theory yields model-independent corrections to Kerr black hole quasinormal modes that oscillate logarithmically near extremality, indicating discrete scale invariance.
