Asymptotically Lifshitz spacetimes with universal horizons in dimensions

Sayandeb Basu, Jishnu Bhattacharyya, David Mattingly +1

Horava gravity theory possesses global Lifshitz space as a solution and has been conjectured to provide a natural framework for Lifshitz holography. We derive the conditions on the…

Thermodynamic Stability of Warped AdS3 Black Holes

Danny Birmingham, Susan Mokhtari

We study the thermodynamic stability of warped black holes in three-dimensional topologically massive gravity. The spacelike stretched black hole is parametrized by its mass and an…

Classical Stability of the BTZ Black Hole in Topologically Massive Gravity

Danny Birmingham, Susan Mokhtari, Ivo Sachs

We demonstrate the classical stability of the BTZ black hole within the context of topologically massive gravity. The linearized perturbation equations can be solved exactly in thi…

Asymptotic Safety, Asymptotic Darkness, and the hoop conjecture in the extreme UV

Sayandeb Basu, David Mattingly

Assuming the hoop conjecture in classical general relativity and quantum mechanics, any observer who attempts to perform an experiment in an arbitrarily small region will be stymie…

Stability of Topological Black Holes

Danny Birmingham, Susan Mokhtari

We explore the classical stability of topological black holes in d-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, where the horizon is an Einstein manifold of negative curvature. According…

Exact Gravitational Quasinormal Frequencies of Topological Black Holes

Danny Birmingham, Susan Mokhtari

We compute the exact gravitational quasinormal frequencies for massless topological black holes in d-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Using the gauge invariant formalism for gravi…

Moyal Quantization, Holography, and the Quantum Geometry of Surfaces

George Chapline, Alex Granik

An elementary introduction is provided to the phase space quantization method of Moyal and Wigner. We generalize the method so that it applies to 2-dimensional surfaces, where it h…
