Supersymmetric isolated horizons
Tomas Liko, Ivan Booth
We construct a covariant phase space for rotating weakly isolated horizons in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in all (odd) dimensions. In particular, we show that hor…
Extremality conditions for isolated and dynamical horizons
Ivan Booth, Stephen Fairhurst
A maximally rotating Kerr black hole is said to be extremal. In this paper we introduce the corresponding restrictions for isolated and dynamical horizons. These reduce to the stan…
Isolated horizons in higher-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Tomas Liko, Ivan Booth
The isolated horizon framework was introduced in order to provide a local description of black holes that are in equilibrium with their (possibly dynamic) environment. Over the pas…
A quasilocal Hamiltonian for gravity with classical and quantum applications
Ivan S. Booth
I modify the quasilocal energy formalism of Brown and York into a purely Hamiltonian form. As part of the reformulation, I remove their restriction that the time evolution of the b…
Cosmological Pair Creation of Charged and Rotating Black Holes
I. S. N. Booth, R. B. Mann
In this paper, we investigate the pair creation of charged and rotating black hole pairs in a background with a positive cosmological constant. Instantons to describe this situatio…
