The uniqueness and rigidity theorems assert that the asymptotically flat, vacuum, stationary rotating black hole solution in general relativity must be the Kerr solution, exhibiting novel symmetries such as axisymmetry and circularity. In our analysis of post-merger ringdown signal from coalescing black hole binary systems, we identify potential observational signatures for deviations from these Kerr symmetries. Utilizing ringdown data from the gravitational wave event GW150914, we place significant constraints on such deviations. Our analysis introduces a new and novel approach for testing spacetime symmetries through gravitational wave observations.

  1. Polarization Analysis of Ringdown Signals

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Constrained polarization model for Kerr ringdown modes enables inclination inference from two-detector data for non-precessing mergers but introduces biases when applied to precessing systems.

  2. Twisted doughnuts: Thick disk torus around equatorial asymmetric black hole

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Equatorial asymmetry in black hole spacetimes twists thick tori, displacing their centers and cusps away from the equatorial plane in the same direction as Keplerian orbits.

  3. Testing non-circular black hole spacetime with X-ray reflection

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    X-ray reflection data for EXO 1846–031 cannot distinguish the non-circular deformation parameter ℓ_NP from zero, remaining consistent with the Kerr hypothesis.

  4. Periodic orbits and gravitational waveforms around a Schwarzschild black hole with a cloud of strings embedded in perfect fluid dark matter

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Analysis of how string cloud parameter a and dark matter parameter α alter MBO, ISCO, periodic orbits indexed by q, and the gravitational waveforms generated by those orbits in a modified Schwarzschild spacetime.
