As we progress into the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, robust theoretical frameworks are essential for interpreting data and uncovering new physics. This workshop is dedicated to the deployment of tools from theoretical physics for GW phenomenology.
Key topics include:
-
Modern theoretical approaches for modeling GWs from compact binaries, such as effective field theories and techniques inspired by quantum field theory.
-
Tidal response and quasi-normal modes of compact objects, which provide insights into their internal structure and offer potential signatures of new physics.
-
Gravitational wave memory effects, linked to asymptotic symmetries and soft graviton theorems, provide further tests of GR and insights into cosmology.
Bringing together experts from across gravitational theory and related fields, the workshop aims to deepen our theoretical understanding required to fully exploit the potential of incoming GW observations.
