the direct detection of gravitational waves opens the possibility to test general relativity and its alternatives in the strong field regime. here we focus on the test of the existence of extra dimensions. the classification of gravitational waves in metric gravity theories according to their polarizations in higher-di...
classification of gravitational waves in higher-dimensional space-time and possibility of observation
gravitational wave echoes may provide a smoking gun signal for new physics in the immediate vicinity of black holes. as a quasiperiodic signal in time, echoes are characterized by the nearly constant time delay, and its precise measurement can help reveal a planck-scale deviation outside of the would-be horizon. differ...
