This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory. Gravity fits nicely into the effective field theory description and forms a good quantum theory at ordinary energies.

  1. Stationary Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet black holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    New stationary vectorized black holes exist in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory, including charged spherical, uncharged axial with magnetic moments, and rotating solutions bounded by Kerr and static cases.

  2. 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.

  3. Quantum gravity and matter fields in a general background gauge

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    One-loop effective action for quantum gravity plus matter is computed off-shell in a general background gauge, shown to be gauge-independent on-shell per the DeWitt-Kallosh theorem, and used to establish non-renormali...

  4. Stationary Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet black holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory with quadratic coupling admits static charged spherical and uncharged magnetic-dipole vectorized black holes, plus a bounded domain of rotating solutions.

  5. Perturbative Renormalisation Group Improved Black Hole Solution and its Quasinormal Modes

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0

    A second-order RG-improved Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric is derived and its scalar QNMs are shown to depend weakly on the free parameter ζ, with consistent results from WKB, shooting, and matrix-pencil time-domain analysis.

  6. Towards the consistent perturbative expansion in discrete gravity

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    A mixed finite-difference action plus a principal-value soft synchronous gauge is claimed to make lattice gravity perturbation theory reproduce continuum gravity at small momenta.

  7. 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.

  8. Response of interferometers to the vacuum of quantum gravity

    hep-th 2024-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  9. Love numbers of black holes and compact objects

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A pedagogical review of Love numbers and tidal responses for black holes and compact objects in general relativity and extensions.
