We study a higher derivative extension to General Relativity and present a fully nonlinear/non-perturbative treatment to construct initial data and study its dynamical behavior in spherical symmetry when coupled to a massless scalar field. For initial data, we compare the obtained solutions with those from alternative treatments that rely on a perturbative (or iterative) approach. For the future evolution of such data, we implement a recently introduced approach which addresses mathematical pathologies brought in by the higher derivatives. Our solutions demonstrate the presence of unexpected phenomena -when seen from the lense of General Relativity, as well as departures from General Relativity in the quasi-normal mode behavior of the scalar field scattering off the black hole.

  1. Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    In quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity, static spherically symmetric Frobenius solutions are classified: regular cores only, Schwarzschild-like horizons and wormhole throats, plus asymptotic 1/r^6 corrections to Schwarzschild.

  2. Towards long and accurate numerical relativity waveforms of binary black holes beyond general relativity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Spectral methods plus comoving fixing-the-equations drivers yield 40+ cycle equal-mass sGB binary waveforms with phase error ≲1 rad, distinguishable from GR and merging earlier.

  3. Higher-derivative gravitational effective field theories are generically weakly hyperbolic

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Any pure-metric higher-derivative gravity EFT with derivative-independent characteristics has a weakly hyperbolic physical spin-2 block that gauge fixing and constraint addition cannot remove.

  4. High-accuracy drivers to simulate black hole binaries beyond general relativity with the fixing-the-equations approach

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Comoving tensor-aware driver equations in SpECTRE yield ~40-cycle sGB binary waveforms with O(1) rad phase error and eccentricity ≲10^{-3}, free of spurious spin growth.

  5. Gravitational radiations from periodic orbits around a black hole in the effective field theory extension of general relativity

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Periodic orbits around EFTGR black holes produce gravitational waveforms whose substructures increase in complexity with higher zoom numbers.

  6. GW250114: testing Hawking's area law and the Kerr nature of black holes

    gr-qc 2025-09 accept novelty 5.0

    GW250114 data confirm the remnant black hole ringdown frequencies lie within 30% of Kerr predictions and that the final horizon area is larger than the sum of the progenitors' areas to high credibility.

  7. Gravitational radiations from periodic orbits around a black hole in the effective field theory extension of general relativity

    gr-qc 2025-12 reject novelty 4.0

    EFTGR black-hole periodic orbits follow the (z,w,v) taxonomy and emit zoom-whirl waveforms whose phase, not amplitude, is sensitive to the EFTGR coupling ϵ1.

  8. Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3

    gr-qc 2021-12 accept novelty 3.0

    No evidence for physics beyond general relativity is found in the analysis of 15 GW events from GWTC-3, with consistency in residuals, PN parameters, and remnant properties.
