The majority of extensions to General Relativity display mathematical pathologies (higher derivatives, character change in equations that can be classified within PDE theory, and even unclassifiable ones) that cause severe difficulties to study them, especially in dynamical regimes. We present here an approach that enables their consistent treatment and extraction of physical consequences. We illustrate this method in the context of single and merging black holes in a highly challenging beyond GR theory.

  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. A first-order formulation of f(R) gravity in spherical symmetry

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A first-order nonlocal integro-differential system for the scalar field phi and curvature R is derived for f(R) gravity in spherical symmetry, extending Christodoulou's approach to allow analysis of solutions via hype...

  3. Black hole mergers beyond general relativity: a self-force approach

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Self-force theory is extended to compute merger and ringdown waveforms in beyond-GR black hole binaries under the extreme mass-ratio approximation, with first calculations of self-force corrections to the merger waveform.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Tidal effects in the total flux and waveform in massless scalar-tensor theories to, respectively, relative 2PN and 1.5PN orders

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives next-to-next-to-leading tidal corrections to flux and phasing in scalar-tensor gravity using adapted post-Newtonian multipolar-post-Minkowskian methods under the adiabatic approximation.

  8. Leading effective field theory corrections to the Kerr metric at all spins

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical solutions show that leading effective-field-theory corrections to the Kerr metric grow with spin and are largest near extremality.

  9. 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.

  10. Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object

    gr-qc 2024-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    Parameterized inspiral tests on GW230529 find consistency with GR, with |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} and ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ in ESGB theories.
