Axial tidal Love numbers for black holes in anisotropic fluid environments are derived analytically and numerically, with non-compact support density profiles producing logarithmic terms that obstruct standard tidal matching due to the lack of a strictly vacuum exterior.

abstract
Second-order ordinary linear differential equations appear ubiquitously across physics, describing the behavior of systems from the quantum world of atoms to the classical world of gravitating bodies. We present a unified symmetry-based framework that provides a ``litmus-test criterion'' to determine when such a system admits a hierarchical ladder structure, and, whenever it does, explicitly constructs the ladder. This approach uncovers a previously underappreciated connection to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and a deep commonality among diverse physical problems. Applications to the quantum harmonic oscillator and dynamical tidal response of Kerr black holes are presented to illustrate the framework.

Dynamical tidal Love numbers for Kerr black holes are obtained to linear frequency order by matching EFT worldline couplings to black-hole perturbation solutions, including spin-induced mode mixing.
This review summarizes tidal Love numbers and dissipation effects for black holes, neutron stars, and exotic objects, noting vanishing static bosonic Love numbers for black holes in GR but nonzero values for fermions and exotic objects, with implications for gravitational-wave astronomy.
