Title: "Towards Dark Ages with LuSEE-Night" plus "large scale isocurvature fluctuations and the Hubble tension"
Title: Gravitational Wave Symphony from Oscillating Spectator Scalar Fields Abstract: Spectator scalar fields can be generically present in the early Universe, and are potentially dark matter candidates. We investigate the […]

TITLE: Impact of primordial magnetic fields on matter power spectrum ABSTRACT: Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) offer a simple explanation for the origin of galactic magnetic fields as well as of […]
TITLE: CMB limits on decaying dark matter: going beyond the ionization threshold ABSTRACT: The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints […]
Title: Binary black hole waveforms in the small mass ratio limit Abstract: Current gravitational-wave detectors are being upgraded, and plans are developing for future detectors with greater sensitivity over broader […]
TITLE: Studying the Extreme Universe with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, ABSTRACT: The night sky is filled with flashes of blue "Cherenkov" light, which last for just a few billionths of […]
TITLE: Revisiting the axion-electron coupling ABSTRACT: In the presence of axion dark matter, fermion spins experience an “axion wind” torque and an “axioelectric” force. We investigate new experimental probes of these […]
TITLE: Ghosts on the way to a QFT for gravity ABSTRACT: Ghosts have been a stumbling block in the development of a UV complete quantum field theory for gravity. We […]
TITLE: Quasinormal Modes from Penrose Limits ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will explain how to describe quasinormal modes with a large real frequency using Penrose limits. To do so, I first […]
Title: Quantum near extremal black holes and anomalies Abstract: The Bekenstein–Hawking formula gives a coarse-grained count of the number of microstates of a black hole, and it is remarkable that it may […]
Title: Fundamental Physics and Cosmology from Stellar Mass Binary Black Holes Abstract:The first three observing runs of the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA gravitational wave detectors produced a wealth of "firsts," […]
