Theory-agnostic Reconstruction of Potential and Couplings from Quasi-Normal Modes
read the original abstract
In this work, we use a parametrized theory-agnostic approach that connects the observation of black hole quasi-normal modes with the underlying perturbation equations, with the goal of reconstructing the potential and the coupling functions appearing in the latter. The fundamental quasi-normal mode frequency and its first two overtones are modeled through a second order expansion in the deviations from general relativity, which are assumed to be small but otherwise generic. By using a principal component analysis, we demonstrate that percent-level measurements of the fundamental mode and its overtones can be used to constrain the effective potential of tensor perturbations and the coupling functions between tensor modes and ones of different helicity, without assuming an underlying theory. We also apply our theory-agnostic reconstruction framework to analyze simulated quasi-normal mode data produced within specific theories extending general relativity, such as Chern-Simons gravity.

Constraining deviations from the Teukolsky equation with GW250114
GW250114's fundamental ringdown mode bounds theory-agnostic deviations from the Teukolsky equation to be consistent with zero at characteristic scales of 60-100 km.

Inspiral tests of general relativity and waveform geometry
The power of ppE-style GR tests comes from waveform geometry: GR parameter biases absorb most of any smooth phase deviation, and SVD finds the few orthogonal directions that remain.

Parametrized quasinormal modes, greybody factors and their correspondence
In the parametrized quasinormal mode framework, QNMs and GBFs depend on the order and polynomial power of potential modifications, with the QNM-GBF correspondence valid only in limited regimes.
