Real-Time Perturbation Theory in de Sitter Space
Kevin Goldstein, David A. Lowe
We consider scalar field theory in de Sitter space with a general vacuum invariant under the continuously connected symmetries of the de Sitter group. We begin by reviewing approac…
Stretched horizons, quasiparticles and quasinormal modes
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We propose that stretched horizons can be described in terms of a gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. The quasiparticles are unstable, with a lifetime set by the imaginary part…
Quasiparticle picture of black holes and the entropy--area relation
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We propose an effective description of 0-brane black holes, in which the black hole is modeled as a gas of non-interacting quasi-particles in the dual quantum mechanics. This simpl…
