Omiya教授の研究室では、重力波・ブラックホール・超軽いスカラー場(特にアクシオン)の相互作用に注目し、宇宙における新物理の探査を目的とした理論的研究を展開しています。特に、回転するブラックホール周辺に形成されるアクシオンクランプの非線形な時間発展や、重力波による検出可能性の評価に注力しています。また、双対ホログラフィーを用いた因果構造の解明や、LISA-Taijiネットワークを用いた異常モードの検出可能性分析など、理論的・観測的両面からのアプローチをとっています。

A bstract Double holography plays a crucial role in recent studies of Hawking radiation and information paradox by relating an intermediate picture, in which a dynamical gravity living on an end-of-the-world brane is coupled to a non-gravitational heat bath, to a much better-understood BCFT picture as well as a bulk picture. In this paper, causal structures in generic double holographic setups are studied. We find that the causal structure in the bulk picture is compatible with causality in the
The vector and scalar polarization modes of gravitational waves do not exist in general relativity, and their detection would have significant impacts on fundamental physics. In this paper, we explored the detectability of these anomalous polarization modes in a gravitational wave background around 1 mHz with the future LISA-Taiji network. The inherent geometrical symmetry of the network largely simplifies the correlation analysis. By taking a suitable linear combination of the correlated output
Abstract Ultra-light particles, such as axions, form a macroscopic condensate around a highly spinning black hole by the superradiant instability. Due to its macroscopic nature, the condensate opens the possibility of detecting the axion through gravitational wave observations. However, the precise evolution of the condensate must be known for the actual detection. For future observation, we numerically study the influence of the self-interaction, especially interaction between different modes,
Abstract There are strong interests in considering ultra-light scalar fields (especially axion) around a rapidly rotating black hole because of the possibility of observing gravitational waves from axion condensate (axion cloud) around black holes. Motivated by this consideration, we propose a new method to study the dynamics of an ultra-light scalar field with self-interaction around a rapidly rotating black hole, which uses the dynamical renormalization group method. We find that for relativis
Abstract Ultra-light axion fields, motivated by string theory, form a large condensate (axion cloud) around rotating black holes through superradiant instability. Several effects due to the axion cloud, such as the spin-down of black holes and the emission of monochromatic gravitational waves, open a new window to search for axions by astrophysical observations. When the axion self-interaction is considered, the evolution of clouds is altered significantly, and an explosive phenomenon called a b
Gravitational waves from condensates of ultralight particles, such as axions, around rotating black holes are a promising probe to search for unknown physics. For this purpose, we need to characterize the signal to detect the gravitational waves, which requires tracking the evolution of the condensates, including various effects. The axion self-interaction causes the nonlinear coupling between the superradiant modes, resulting in complicated branching of evolution. Most studies so far have consi
We discuss the polarizational study of isotropic gravitational wave backgrounds with the second-generation detector network, paying special attention to the impacts of adding LIGO-India. The backgrounds can be characterized by at most five spectral components (three parity-even ones and two parity-odd ones). They can be algebraically decomposed through the difference of the corresponding overlap reduction functions defined for the individual spectra. We newly identify two interesting relations b
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) provide a way to detect gravitational waves (GWs) at nanohertz frequencies. To ensure the detection of GWs, observational data must exhibit the Hellings-Downs angular correlation. It is also known that PTAs can probe ultralight dark matter. This paper considers possible contamination of the Hellings-Downs angular correlation by the ultralight dark matter. We find that ultralight vector dark matter can give rise to the deformation of the Hellings-Downs correlation curv
We study correlation analysis for monopole components of stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds, including the maximally allowed polarization degrees. We show that, for typical detector networks, the correlation analysis can probe virtually five spectra: three for the intensities of the tensor, vector, and scalar modes and two for the chiral asymmetries of the tensor and vector modes. The chiral asymmetric signal for the vector modes has been left untouched so far. In this paper, we derive th
