Shahar Hod
Spacetime singularities that arise in gravitational collapse are always hidden inside of black holes. This is the essence of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. The hypothesis,…

Bounds on the mass-to-radius ratio for non-compact field configurations
Shahar Hod
It is well known that a spherically symmetric compact star whose energy density decreases monotonically possesses an upper bound on its mass-to-radius ratio, . Howeve…

Near-Extreme Black Holes and the Universal Relaxation Bound
Shahar Hod
A fundamental bound on the relaxation time τof a perturbed thermodynamical system has recently been derived, τ\geq \hbar/πT, where is the system's temperature. We demonstrate a…
