Gravitational Waves as a probe of new fundamental physics

引力波提供了一种新的观测探测器，可以观察黑洞和表现出强烈引力的非常致密的恒星的结构。因此，它们具有揭示新物理学的潜力，被认为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，人们需要对黑洞和致密恒星组成的双星系统进行数学建模，在这些系统中，黑洞和致密恒星携带新的基本场，并与引力波观测结果相对抗。这是这个项目的主要焦点。它将包括理论发展和分析，微扰和数值数学建模，以及一些数据分析的元素。

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.
