We compute the tidal Love numbers and static response coefficients associated to several rotating black holes in higher dimensions, including Myers-Perry holes, rings, strings. These exhibit a rich complex structure as function of hole parameters multipoles. Our results agree limiting cases with known new expressions for various lower-dimensional holes. In particular, we provide an alternative approach computation Kerr case boosted string.

Abstract JWST observations, when combined with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data, promise to improve age estimates of star clusters in nearby spiral galaxies. However, feedback from young cluster stars pushes out the natal gas and dust, making formation evolution a challenge model.

While static Love number vanish identically for Kerr black holes, we show that the corresponding dynamical tidal coefficients are generically non-zero and exhibit logarithmic behavior. The computational method employs a related but simpler scheme consistent with CFT descriptions, low-frequency regimes post-Newtonian results. These illustrated numerical examples.

We derive the explicit embedding of effective Kerr spacetimes, which are pertinent to vanishing static Love numbers, soft hair descriptions black holes, and low-frequency scalar-Kerr scattering amplitudes, as solutions within N = 2 supergravity. These spacetimes exhibit a hidden $SL(2, R) \times U (1)$ or $SO(4, 2)$ symmetry resembling so called subtracted geometries with SL(2, R)$ symmetry, accurately represent near-horizon geometry holes and, we will argue most represents internal...
