AI 中文摘要
旋转黑洞的超辐射不稳定性可在其周围产生大量玻色物质过密区，共同构成引力原子。该机制可探测标量、轴子和矢量粒子的大部分参数空间，而这些参数空间超出传统探测策略的范围。然而，由于不同扰动的相互竞争，建模双星系统中这类天体的动力学十分复杂。本研究提供了一套处理这些扰动的可靠方案，涵盖最小的内部扰动（相对论修正与自引力）以及外部潮汐场。在世界线有效场论框架下，我们首次计算了引力原子的洛夫数，其中也包含最受关注的自旋云情形。部分自旋态具有负的（静态）洛夫数，其幅度相对于非自旋态的标度呈参数化增强——在具有物理意义的场景中，增强因子为O(10²–10³)。最后，我们研究了双星并合早期阶段的演化，评估了相互竞争的扰动对偏移共振的影响。这一动力学图景使我们能够确定，在哪些阶段永久多极矩是新轻玻色子的最强指示器，以及哪些阶段感应多极矩占据主导，同时在共振期间也能跟踪两种有限尺寸效应。更广泛地说，我们的结果表明，引力原子是研究引力波物理中潮汐响应理论方面的有用玩具模型。
英文摘要
The superradiant instability of rotating black holes can generate a significant overdensity of bosonic matter around them, together forming a gravitational atom. This mechanism allows one to probe a large part of the parameter space of scalars, axions and vectors that lies beyond the reach of traditional detection strategies. Modelling the dynamics of these systems in binaries is, however, subtle, due to the competing nature of the different perturbations. In this work, we provide a consistent scheme to treat these perturbations, including both the minimal set of internal ones (relativistic corrections and self-gravity) and the external tidal field. Within the worldline effective field theory framework, we then calculate the Love numbers of gravitational atoms, for the first time also for the most interesting case of spinning clouds. Certain spinning states are found to have \textit{negative} (static) Love numbers, with a magnitude parametrically enhanced relative to the scaling for the non-spinning states -- in phenomenologically relevant scenarios by a factor $\mathcal{O}(10^2\text{--}10^3)$. Finally, we consider the binary evolution in the early inspiral, assessing the impact of the competing perturbations on \textit{shifted resonances}, which for dense clouds can alter the nature of some of the hyperfine and fine transitions (sinking instead of floating). This dynamical picture allows us to identify at which stages the permanent multipoles are the strongest indicators of new light bosons, and at which the induced ones take over, while keeping track of both types of finite-size effects even during the resonance. More broadly, our results demonstrate that gravitational atoms are a useful toy model for studying the theoretical aspects of tidal response in gravitational-wave physics.
