Hidetoshi Omiya 교수의 연구실은 초경량 스칼라 필드, 특히 축전자(axion)가 블랙홀 주위에서 형성하는 양자 응집체(axion cloud)와 그가 유도하는 중력파를 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 특히 초경량 입자의 비선형 상호작용, 슈퍼라디언트 불안정성, 블랙홀의 스핀 감쇠 등에서 발생하는 복잡한 동역학을 수치적·이론적 방법으로 분석하며, 향후 LISA-Taiji와 같은 중력파 관측망을 통한 신호 탐지 가능성을 탐색하고 있습니다. 연구는 기본 물리학의 새로운 탐색과 암흑물질 후보 입자 탐지에 기여하고자 합니다.

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
