The structure of spinning particle suggested by the rotating Kerr-Newman (black hole) solution, super-Kerr-Newman solution and the Kerr-Sen solution to low energy string theory is considered. Main peculiarities of the Kerr spinning particle…

We construct a new Yang-Mills Lagrangian based on a notion of minimal coupling that incorporates classical spin effects. The construction relies on the introduction of a new covariant derivative, which we name "classical spin covariant…

We calculate the density of states with given mass and spin in string theory and obtain asymptotic formulas. We also compute the tree-level gyromagnetic couplings for arbitrary physical states in the heterotic string theory. These results…

We prove the generalized second law (GSL) for higher curvature gravity theories when the matter sector is non-minimally coupled. The validity of our proof is in the regime of linearized fluctuations about equilibrium black holes, which is…

This paper consolidates noscalar hair theorem for a charged spherically symmetric black hole in four dimension in general relativity as well as in all scalar tensor theories, both minimally and nonminimally coupled, when the effective…

We consider effective theories with massive fields that have spins larger than or equal to two. We conjecture a universal cutoff scale on any such theory that depends on the lightest mass of such fields. This cutoff corresponds to the mass…

According to common lore, massive elementary higher spin particles lead to inconsistencies when coupled to gravity. However, this scenario was not completely ruled out by previous arguments. In this paper, we show that in a theory where the…

Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a scalar field with a two-parameter Higgs-like self-interaction in three spacetime dimensions is recast in terms of a Chern-Simons form for the algebra $g^{+}\oplus g^{-}$ where, depending on the sign…

We explicitly extract the structure of higher-derivative curvature-squared terms at genus 0 and 1 in the d=4 heterotic string effective action compactified on symmetric orbifolds by computing on-shell S-matrix superstring amplitudes. In…

The orbits of two black holes which are initially unbound can be transformed into bound orbits by emitting gravitational waves during close encounters in a star cluster, which is called a gravitational wave (GW) capture. The effects of spin…

In this paper, we investigate gravitational interactions of massive fields with arbitrary integer and half-integer spin, trying to construct a vertex that contains both standard minimal and non-minimal interaction terms necessary to make…

We discuss the problem of identification of coupling constants, which describe interactions between photons and space-time curvature, using exact regular solutions to the extended equations of the nonminimal Einstein-Maxwell theory. We…

We study the hypermultiplet moduli space of an N=4, U(Q_1)xU(Q_5) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions to extract the effective SCFT description of near extremal 5-dimensional black holes modelled by a collection of D1- and D5-branes. On the…

It is well known that spherically symmetric reduction of General Relativity (SSG) leads to non-minimally coupled scalar matter. We generalize (and correct) recent results to Hawking radiation for a class of dilaton models which share with…

Is the graviton massless? This problem was addressed in the literature at a phenomenological level, using modified dispersion relations for gravitational waves, in linearized calculations around flat space. Here, we perform a detailed…

According to the no-hair theorem, astrophysical black holes are uniquely described by their masses and spins. An observational test of the no-hair theorem can be performed by measuring at least three different multipole moments of the…

We consider the shift of charge-to-mass ratio for extremal black holes in the context of effective field theory, motivated by the Weak Gravity Conjecture. We constrain extremality corrections in different regimes subject to unitarity and…

We calculate the scattering of two rotating objects with the linear-in-curvature spin-induced multipoles of Kerr black holes at $\mathcal{O}(G^2)$ and all orders in the spins of both objects. This is done including the complete set of…

We combine old and new quantum field theoretic arguments to show that any theory of stable or metastable higher spin particles can be coupled to gravity only when the gravity sector has a stringy structure. Metastable higher spin particles,…

We study the EFT of a spinning compact object and show that with appropriate gauge fixing, computations become amenable to worldline quantum field theory techniques. We use the resulting action to compute Compton and one-loop scattering…
