abstract

We compute the most general leading-order correction to Kerr solution when the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented with higher-derivative terms, including the possibility of dynamical couplings controlled by scalars. The model we present depends on five parameters and it contains, as particular cases, Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, dynamical Chern-Simons gravity and the effective action coming from Heterotic Superstring theory. By solving the corrected field equations, we find the modified Kerr metric that describes rotating black holes in these theories. We express the solution as a series in the spin parameter $\chi$, and we show that including enough terms in the expansion we are able to describe black holes with large spin. For the computations in the text we use an expansion up to order $\chi^{14}$, which is accurate for $\chi<0.7$, but we provide as well a Mathematica notebook that computes the solution at any given order. We study several properties of the corrected black holes, such as geometry of the horizon, ergosphere, light rings and scalar hair. Some of the corrections violate parity, and we highlight in those cases plots of horizons and ergospheres without $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ symmetry.

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Near-extremal black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity have a regular extremal endpoint matching the deformed near-horizon Kerr throat, while in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity the extremal throat is disconnected fro...

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In higher-derivative gravity, the leading correction to extreme-mass-ratio inspiral waveforms and fluxes enters at 5PN order and is controlled by the ℓ=2 tidal Love number.

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

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simultaneously sampling the EFT scaling index p̃ and length scale ℓ̃ in ParSpec shows p̃ is prior-dominated and the ℓ̃ ~ 83 km bound is mostly prior geometry.

  6. Stochastic Evolution of Primordial Black Holes to near-extremality in EFTs of Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In EFT-modified gravity, about the same fraction of primordial black holes (24.6–24.9%) spin up to near-extremality as in GR (~24.7%), and those survivors carry ~10x enhanced near-horizon tidal forces.

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The Reall–Santos extremalization method is extended to perturbations around Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet backgrounds, reproducing known quasi-topological black-hole thermodynamics without solving the perturbed metric.
