Coupling matter and curvature in Weyl geometry- conformally invariant f(R,L_m) gravity
Speaker
Tiberiu Harko (National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Romania)

Only on campus (Mathematics Department, amphitheater Sousa Pinto)
Event type
We propose an extension of the $f(R,L_m)$ gravity theory by considering the coupling between matter and geometry in conformal quadratic Weyl gravity, explicitly formulated in the Weyl geometry.

Dual-Frame Generalized Harmonic Gauge on Hyperboloidal Slices

Both for studies of cosmic censorship and for practical purposes in gravitational wave astronomy, it is desirable to include future null-infinity in the computational domain. Extending formulations of general relativity known to behave well in the strong-field regime out to infinity with compactification is, however, a subtle game.

Dynamical friction from scalar dark matter
Speaker
Dina Traykova (Albert Einstein Institute)
Event date
Venue
online (only)
Event type
Despite the plethora of evidence of the existence and abundance of dark matter we have from large scale cosmological observations, there is still little we know of its properties or its behaviour on small scales. A promising way to test this is through the effects it may have on the gravitational wave signal from black hole binary mergers.
