Challenges to global solutions in Horndeski's theory
read the original abstract
We explore the question of obtaining global solutions in Horndeski's theories of gravity. Towards this end, we study a relevant set of the theory and, by employing the Einstein frame we simplify the analysis by exploiting known results on global solutions of wave equations. We identify conditions for achieving global solutions as well as obstacles that can arise to spoil such goal. We illustrate such problems via numerical simulations.

Scalar emission from binary neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories with kinetic screening
Kinetic screening non-monotonically suppresses or enhances scalar quadrupolar emission from equal-mass neutron star binaries depending on screening radius versus wavelength, with a dipole re-emerging linearly with mas...

Non-linear evolution of five-dimensional black strings in effective field theory
Simulations of 5D black string instability in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity find that positive Gauss-Bonnet coupling caps curvature growth inside EFT validity, unlike negative coupling.
