Source-independence conjecture for ultra-relativistic scattering
Consider the ultra-relativistic scattering problem, in which compact objects or particles collide with kinetic energy much greater than their rest-mass energy. Source-independence…

Critical-impact-parameter conjecture for maximal luminosity in ultrarelativistic black-hole scattering
Let two black holes scatter with impact parameter , and let denote the critical impact parameter at the threshold of formation of a central black hole; for larger imp…

Integrability conjecture for the universality of binary black hole merger waveforms
Binary black hole (BBH) merger waveforms are gravitational-wave signals produced during the coalescence of two black holes; integrability means that the underlying dynamical system…

Asymptotic massless-graviton conjecture for gravitational waves in anti-de Sitter space
Let be the massless-graviton component of the gravitational wave, and let denote the corresponding comparison field. For a functio…
