Title: Revisiting tidal deformations in black holes
Abstract: Recent advancements suggest that tidal forces, traditionally expected to vanish in extremal black holes, may play a more fundamental role than previously thought. In this talk, we review the tidal deformations of black holes, focusing on the role of Love numbers in characterizing these deformations, and explore the unique properties of tidal interactions in extremal black holes.
