Gravitational Waves as a probe of new fundamental physics

引力波提供了一个新的观测探测黑洞和非常紧凑的恒星，表现出强引力的结构。因此，它们有可能揭示新的物理学，与量子引力或粒子物理学标准模型的扩展有关。为了从引力波数据中提取这样的信息，我们需要对由黑洞和致密星组成的双星系统进行数学建模，在这种情况下，它们携带新的基本场，并将结果与引力波观测结果进行比较。这是该项目的主要重点。它将包括理论发展和分析，扰动和数值数学建模，以及数据分析的一些要素。

Gravitational waves offer a new observational probe on the structure of black holes and very compact stars that exhibit strong gravity. Hence, they have the potential of revealing new physics, putatively associated with quantum gravity or extensions of the standard model of particle physics. To extract such information from gravitational wave data one needs to mathematically model binary systems composed of black holes and compact stars in scenarios where they carry new fundamental fields and confront the results with gravitational-wave observations. This is the main focus of this project. It will include theoretical development and analysis, perturbative and numerical mathematical modelling, and some elements of data analysis.
