Group get together to cellebrate Prof. Darío Nuñez, from UNAM, Mexico City, one year visit (Oct 2023 - Sep 2024). Many thanks Darío for the wonderful discussions, positive energy and dynamics. We hope you come back soon!
Nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) is an umbrella term for various nonlinear generalisations of Maxwell’s theory, usually defined by Lagrangians depending on two quadratic electromagnetic invariants. We discuss two classes of no-go theorems that can be established when NLE fields are coupled to gravity.
On Wednesday 18, we gathered for a dinner in town to celebrate our many visitors. While Víctor Jaramillo (University of Science and Technology of China), Raimon Luna and Milton Ruiz (both from University of Valencia) joined us for a week, we also welcomed longer term guests Ana Bokulić (University of Zagreb) and Razieh Ranjbar (Ferdowsi University).

We apply a novel approach based on physics-informed neural networks to the computation of quasinormal modes of black hole solutions in modified gravity. In particular, we focus on the case of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory, with several choices of the coupling function between the scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant.
We construct and explore Noether charge-swapping structures of boson stars, drawing inspiration from similar configurations of non-topological solitons in Minkowski space (Charge-swapping Q-balls). The resulting structures are dynamic, with a multipolar structure and both positive and negative Noether charges within a star.
We analyze the dynamics of a collisionless kinetic gas propagating in the exterior of a rotating Kerr black hole. We focus on the phase space region corresponding to orbits that are bounded in space.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
