Black hole gas in TeV-gravity models
Monica Borunda, Manuel Masip
In a plasma at temperature close to the fundamental scale a small fraction of particles will experience transplanckian collisions that may result in microscopic black holes (BHs).…
Black hole gas in the early universe
Monica Borunda, Manuel Masip
We consider the early universe at temperatures close to the fundamental scale of gravity (M_D << M_Planck) in models with extra dimensions. At such temperatures a small fraction of…
The Palatini formalism for higher-curvature gravity theories
Mar Bastero-Gil, Monica Borunda, Bert Janssen
We compare the metric and the Palatini formalism to obtain the Einstein equations in the presence of higher-order curvature corrections that consist of contractions of the Riemann…
Palatini versus metric formulation in higher curvature gravity
Monica Borunda, Bert Janssen, Mar Bastero-Gil
We compare the metric and the Palatini formalism to obtain the Einstein equations in the presence of higher-order curvature corrections that consist of contractions of the Riemann…
The Universality of Penrose Limits near Space-Time Singularities
Matthias Blau, Monica Borunda, Martin O'Loughlin +1
We prove that Penrose limits of metrics with arbitrary singularities of power-law type show a universal leading u^{-2}-behaviour near the singularity provided that the dominant ene…
Penrose Limits and Spacetime Singularities
Matthias Blau, Monica Borunda, Martin O'Loughlin +1
We give a covariant characterisation of the Penrose plane wave limit: the plane wave profile matrix is the restriction of the null geodesic deviation matrix (curvature tenso…
