UV-Suppressed Matter Sector Corrections to Gravitational Dynamics from a Scalar Spectral Field: EFT Structure, Gravitational Waves, and Information-Theoretic Constraints

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We construct a ghost-free effective field theory in which a scalar spectral field $S$ inducesultraviolet-suppressed corrections to the gravitational-wave propagation and black holequasinormal spectra without modifying the infrared Einstein--Hilbert structure.The resulting theory preserves a single massless spin-2 graviton and remains consistentwith diffeomorphism invariance.
