Top arXiv papers from Week 6, 2020

Top arXiv papers from Week 6, 2020

Apologies to my regular readers for disappearing last week, but I was away and then super busy with an important deadline. Good news is that I have managed to put together my top arXiv column for both week 6 and week 7, so you get 2 at the price of 1. Enjoy!

On the day the UK leaves the EU and I get to live in a non-EU country again after 5 years (yeah!), here comes the fifth installment of my “Top arXiv papers of the week“ column. From this week, I will be reviewing 3 papers instead of 5 (for more info, please see this post). You might also have noticed that my blog now has a name (again, see this post for more info). Enjoy!

In the fourth installment of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column you can read about quantum foam, whether GW190425 is the first neutron star-black hole merger ever detected, the H0 tension and strong lensing time delays, how to efficiently parametrize the spacetime around black holes, and finally whether microlensing of quasars might point towards primordial black holes. Also, I will at least try to come up with a nice name for this blog before next week’s column!

This is the first entry of my “Top arXiv papers of the week” column. As explained in my welcome post, I plan to update this column at the end of each week with a brief description of the 5 papers which I found most interesting among all those posted on the arXiv during the week.
