xPert: Computer algebra for metric perturbation theory
read the original abstract
We present the tensor computer algebra package xPert for fast construction and manipulation of the equations of metric perturbation theory, around arbitrary backgrounds. It is based on the combination of explicit combinatorial formulas for the n-th order perturbation of curvature tensors and their gauge changes, and the use of highly efficient techniques of index canonicalization, provided by the underlying tensor system xAct, for Mathematica. We give examples of use and show the efficiency of the system with timings plots: it is possible to handle orders n=4 or n=5 within seconds, or reach n=10 with timings below 1 hour.

Quasinormal modes and their excitation beyond general relativity. II: isospectrality loss in gravitational waveforms
In a beyond-GR cubic-curvature model, loss of isospectrality makes it generally difficult to identify the two fundamental quasinormal modes from black hole ringdown time series, though evidence for a non-GR mode is so...

Quantum gravity contributions to the gauge and Yukawa couplings in proper time flow
Quantum gravity contributions to the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings are derived via the Schwinger proper-time flow equation; their dependence on gauge fixing and regulators is quantified at gravity's int...

Quantum critical theories in a periodic potential: strange metallic thermoelectric and magnetotransport
Holographic models of quantum critical 2D systems with zero-average periodic potentials show better conductivity, bad-metal electrical but Drude-like thermal transport, and approximately B-linear magnetoresistance.

Cancellation of UV divergences in ghost-free infinite derivative gravity
Specific choices of form factors in ghost-free infinite derivative gravity cancel all one-loop logarithmic UV divergences except the Gauss-Bonnet term and a surface term.
