Περίληψη:
Gravitational wave observations will provide new insights on the nature
of gravity in the high-curvature and non-linear regime, which has been
poorly explored so far. Black holes are among the most genuine strong
field predictions of General Relativity, and therefore they represent
the ideal candidates to test the pillars of Einstein’s theory. In this
talk I will analyze some prospects and strategies developed to test
gravity through gravitational waves signals produced by binary black
hole sources. In particular I will focus on the constraints that such
observations, supplied by current and future experiments, will be able
to set on alternative theories of gravity.
