Exploring New Physics Frontiers Through Numerical Relativity

Cardoso, Vitor, Gualtieri, Leonardo, Herdeiro, Carlos et al.

Understand

The demand to obtain answers to highly complex problems within strong-field gravity has been met with significant progress in the numerical solution of Einstein's equations - along with some spectacular results - in various setups.

  • We review techniques for solving Einstein's equations in generic spacetimes, focusing on fully nonlinear evolutions but also on how to benchmark those results with perturbative approaches.
  • The results address problems in high-energy physics, holography, mathematical physics, fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
