abstract

Ostrogradsky's construction of a Hamiltonian formalism for nondegenerate higher derivative Lagrangians is reviewed. The resulting instability imposes by far the most powerful restriction on fundamental, interacting, continuum Lagrangian field theories. A discussion is given of the problems raised by attempts to evade this restriction.

Gravitational Memory from Hairy Binary Black Hole Mergers

gr-qc · 2026-04-10 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Gravitational memory from hairy binary black hole mergers in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity differs from GR by a few percent due to altered nonlinear dynamics, with direct scalar contributions suppressed, and including memory increases GR-sGB mismatch by more than an order of magnitude.

Polydoxon Transformations and Scientific Reward in Physics

physics.hist-ph · 2026-05-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

The paper develops a descriptive framework in which scientific reward in physics is understood as transformations of the Polydoxon, the structured set of viable theories, with reward scaling by the transformation's scope, centrality, depth, and future leverage.

Probing higher curvature gravity via ringdown with overtones

gr-qc · 2025-12-27 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Higher-curvature terms deform the near-horizon potential of spherically symmetric black holes, producing progressively larger shifts in overtone quasinormal frequencies that remain detectable in ringdown waveforms when the fundamental mode stays close to its GR value.

Imperfect dark matter with higher derivatives

gr-qc · 2025-10-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Higher-derivative extension of dark matter yields an imperfect fluid that matches pressureless dust on homogeneous backgrounds but generates acceleration and vorticity to avoid caustic singularities in inhomogeneous cosmologies.

The Diffeomorphism Field

math-ph · 2019-07-15 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

This thesis reviews and refines constructions of dynamical theories for the diffeomorphism field by mimicking Yang-Mills theory from Kac-Moody algebras and investigates geometric alternatives.
