In the Gravity from Entropy framework, spherically symmetric black holes acquire r^{-4} corrections to Schwarzschild geometry, with large-mass evaporation at constant rate -β/24 and intermediate-mass loss following the classical Hawking M^{-2} scaling.
Tree-level amplitudes in agravity-coupled QED produce differential cross sections scaling universally as dσ/dΩ ∝ 1/s at ultra-Planckian energies across multiple channels.
Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.
Gauge dependence cancels in the one-loop effective scalar equation in de Sitter when all diagram contributions including external mode corrections are collected.
Applying Jacobson's thermodynamic derivation to general non-Riemannian spacetimes selects a unique Einstein-Hilbert-plus-torsion-vector-squared theory in the torsion-only case, and yields no action-based theory when non-metricity is present.
In the UV regime of Horava-Lifshitz gravity the Wheeler-DeWitt solutions suppress annihilation-to-nothing behavior for all examined spatial sections and cosmological constants.
Derives a relatively simple graviton propagator in de Sitter space for a one-parameter family of non-covariant gauges to enable gauge-dependence checks in loop computations.
Standard low-energy quantum gravity via effective graviton QFT predicts interferometer length variations of order the Planck length (~10^{-35} m), with no divergences indicating breakdown.
All minisuperspaces from symmetry reductions of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian that obey the principle of symmetric criticality are canonically quantized and their Wheeler-DeWitt equations are solved.
For a cubic-plus-quartic curvature EFT, photon-sphere and strong-lensing observables shift at first order in the couplings, but the impact-parameter formula is dimensionally wrong and the gravitational-wave QNM prediction is unproven.
Higher-curvature corrections induce polarization-dependent effective metrics for photons that shift photon spheres, alter eikonal quasinormal modes, and modify deflection angles in static spherically symmetric backgrounds.
Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional AdS gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the conformal collider bounds, with unstable modes connected to boundary causality-violating modes by phase rotation of complex boundary momentum.
A pedagogical review of Love numbers and tidal responses for black holes and compact objects in general relativity and extensions.
A review summarizing modified theories of gravity, their effects on compact objects, existing bounds from astrophysical observations, and the promise of future gravitational wave tests for strong-field gravity.
