Nonperturbative renormalization of the lattice Sommerfield vector model

Vieri Mastropietro

The lattice Sommerfield model, describing a massive vector gauge field coupled to a light fermion in 2d, is an ideal candidate to verify perturbative conclusions. In contrast with…

Bubbles of nothing in binary black holes and black rings, and viceversa

Marco Astorino, Roberto Emparan, Adriano Viganò

We argue that expanding bubbles of nothing are a widespread feature of systems of black holes with multiple or non-spherical horizons, appearing as a limit of regions that are narr…
