A set of tidal Love numbers quantifies tidal deformation of compact objects and is a detectable imprint in gravitational waves from inspiralling binary systems. The measurement of black hole Love numbers allows to test strong-field gravity. In this paper, we present a parametrized formalism to compute the Love numbers of static and spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds, connecting the underlying equations of a given theory with detectable quantities in gravitational-wave observations in a theory-agnostic way. With this formalism, we compute the Love numbers in several systems. We further classify black hole Love numbers according to whether they vanish, are nonzero, or are ``running'' (scale-dependent), in theories or backgrounds that deviate perturbatively from the GR values. The construction relies on static linear perturbations and scattering theory. Our analytic and numerical results are in excellent agreement. As a side result, we show how to use Chandrasekhar's relations to relate basis of even parity to odd parity.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Axial tidal Love numbers for black holes in anisotropic fluid environments are derived analytically and numerically, with non-compact support density profiles producing logarithmic terms that obstruct standard tidal m...

  2. Matching Tidal Deformability (Wilson) Coefficients to Black Hole Love Numbers in Higher-Curvature Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Wilson coefficients in higher-curvature EFTs equal point-particle counterterms plus finite-size Love-number pieces; standard GR matching fails and is corrected for cubic gravity.

  3. On the logarithmic Love number of black holes beyond general relativity

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Logarithmic black hole Love numbers are fixed directly by the Taylor coefficients of the perturbation equation, and perturbative deviations from Schwarzschild/Reissner-Nordström force non-zero running.
