Tests of general relativity with future detectors
摘要
This "vision document" is about what the future has in store for tests of general relativity with gravitational wave detectors. I will make an honest attempt to answer this question by addressing the role of inspiral-based and ringdown-based tests; recent progress on quasinormal modes in modified theories of gravity; the complementarity between light ring tests and ringdown tests; and the interesting possibility of observing some of the nonlinear effects predicted by general relativity. I may well prove to be wrong. To quote Yogi Berra: "It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future".
