Micro Black Holes and the Democratic Transition
Gia Dvali, Oriol Pujolas
Unitarity implies that the evaporation of microscopic quasi-classical black holes cannot be universal in different particle species. This creates a puzzle, since it conflicts with…
A Model Independent Ultraviolet Cutoff for Theories with Charged Massive Higher Spin Fields
Massimo Porrati, Rakibur Rahman
We argue that the theory of a massive higher spin field coupled to electromagnetism in flat space possesses an intrinsic, model independent, finite upper bound on its UV cutoff. By…
General Massive Spin-2 on de Sitter Background
Gregory Gabadadze, Alberto Iglesias, Yanwen Shang
We study linearized massive gravity on the de Sitter background. With a small-enough graviton mass this may have had relevance to inflation, or the present-day cosmic acceleration.…
Non Pauli-Fierz Massive Gravitons
Gia Dvali, Oriol Pujolas, Michele Redi
We study general Lorentz invariant theories of massive gravitons. We show that, contrary to the standard lore, there exist consistent theories where the graviton mass term violates…
Universal Limits on Massless High-Spin Particles
M. Porrati
We present a model-independent argument showing that massless particles interacting with gravity in a Minkowski background space can have at most spin two. This result is proven by…
Gravity Cutoff in Theories with Large Discrete Symmetries
Gia Dvali, Michele Redi, Sergey Sibiryakov +1
We set an upper bound on the gravitational cutoff in theories with exact quantum numbers of large N periodicity, such as Z_N discrete symmetries. The bound stems from black hole ph…
