Black Holes as a Gateway to the Quantum: Classical and Semi-Classical Explorations
Tommaso De Lorenzo
This thesis is entirely devoted to black hole physics as a natural arena to study quantum gravity related questions. The five main Chapters present the results already published in…

Light Cone Black Holes
Tommaso De Lorenzo, Alejandro Perez
When probed with conformally invariant matter fields, light cones in Minkowski spacetime satisfy thermodynamical relations which are the analog of those satisfied by stationary bla…

Spacetime Thermodynamics with Contorsion
Tommaso De Lorenzo, Elena De Paoli, Simone Speziale
We prove that a conserved effective energy-momentum tensor for Einstein-Cartan theory can be identified from the Noether identities of the matter Lagrangian, using the torsion fiel…
