General Relativity à la string: a progress report
Tullio Regge, Claudio Teitelboim
Preliminary results on a canonical formulation of general relativity based on an analogy with the string model of elementary particles are presented. Rather than the metric compone…
Decay of the Cosmological Constant. Equivalence of Quantum Tunneling and Thermal Activation in Two Spacetime Dimensions
Andres Gomberoff, Marc Henneaux, Claudio Teitelboim
We study the decay of the cosmological constant in two spacetime dimensions through production of pairs. We show that the same nucleation process looks as quantum mechanical tunnel…
Duality in linearized gravity
Marc Henneaux, Claudio Teitelboim
We show that duality transformations of linearized gravity in four dimensions, i.e., rotations of the linearized Riemann tensor and its dual into each other, can be extended to the…
Thermal Decay of the Cosmological Constant into Black Holes
Andres Gomberoff, Marc Henneaux, Claudio Teitelboim +1
We show that the cosmological constant may be reduced by thermal production of membranes by the cosmological horizon, analogous to a particle ``going over the top of the potential…
de Sitter Black Holes with Either of the Two Horizons as a Boundary
Andres Gomberoff, Claudio Teitelboim
The action and the thermodynamics of a rotating black hole in the presence of a positive cosmological constant are analyzed. Since there is no spatial infinity, one must bring in,…
Gravitational Thermodynamics of Schwarzschild-de Sitter Space
Claudio Teitelboim
The Euclidean Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry may be considered as an extremum of two different action principles. If the thermodynamical parameters are held fixed at the cosmolog…
