Gravitation Group Seminar: Nicola Franchini: Constraining modifications of black hole perturbation potentials near the light ring with quasinormal modes

On Monday, October 3 at 10.00 we will be welcoming Nicola Franchini (APC) for the gravitation group seminar. The seminar will take place in room 631B, (a zoom link can be found below).
Nicola will talk about the constraints from quasinormal modes on black hole perturbation potentials. 

Constraining modifications of black hole perturbation potentials near the light ring with quasinormal modes

Abstract

Theory and observational constraints in nonlocal gravity

I will present selected field theoretical aspects and Bayesian model selection studies in a particular class of modified gravity theories, so-called nonlocal gravity theories. In particular, I will focus on three nonlocal gravity models that have been proposed for explaining the late-time acceleration of the expansion of the universe and have been shown to provide a statistically equivalent fit to LCDM given recent cosmological data.

Primordial Black Holes from Inflation

Abstract:
It is now recognized that primordial black holes (PBHs) may be produced in various models of inflation in the early universe. In this talk, I review several different scenarios of PBH formation from inflation, each of which has rather distinct features. Then I discuss how these models may be observationally tested in the not-so-distant future, particularly by gravitational wave observations.
 

Gravitational lensing for dark matter explorations inside the Milky Way and for cosmological investigations

Abstract. I’ll show the analysis we perform on gravitational microlensing signatures and how we estimate gravitational microlensing parameters to obtain information about several components of the dark matter in our galaxy like free-floating planets, brown dwarfs, primordial black holes, making use of actual and future space-based telescopes: Euclid, THESEUS, Gaia, Roman, etc.
