Komar Integrals in Higher (and Lower) Derivative Gravity
David Kastor
The Komar integral relation of Einstein gravity is generalized to Lovelock theories of gravity. This includes, in particular, a new boundary integral for the Komar mass in Einstein…
The Thermodynamics of Kaluza-Klein Black Hole/Bubble Chains
David Kastor, Sourya Ray, Jennie Traschen
A Killing bubble is a minimal surface that arises as the fixed surface of a spacelike Killing field. We compute the bubble contributions to the Smarr relations and the mass and ten…
C-Functions in Lovelock Gravity
Mohamed M. Anber, David Kastor
We present C-functions for static and spherically symmetric spacetimes in Lovelock gravity theories. These functions are monotonically increasing functions of the outward radial co…
Do Killing-Yano tensors form a Lie Algebra?
David Kastor, Sourya Ray, Jennie Traschen
Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vectors. We investigate whether Killing-Yano tensors form a graded Lie algebra with respect to the Schouten-Nijenhuis br…
The Dynamics of Collapsing Monopoles and Regular Black Holes
Hyunji Cho, David Kastor, Jennie Traschen
We study the formation and stability of regular black holes by employing a thin shell approximation to the dynamics of collapsing magnetic monopoles. The core deSitter region of th…
