Toroidal black holes in four dimensions
Carlos Barceló, Gerardo García-Moreno, Alejandro Jiménez Cano
From a purely geometric (kinematic) perspective, black holes in four dimensional spacetimes can have event horizons with arbitrary topologies. It is only when energy conditions are…
Beyond Buchdahl's limit: bilayered stars and thin-shell configurations
Julio Arrechea, Carlos Barceló, Gerardo García-Moreno +1
One of the theoretical motivations behind the belief that black holes as described by general relativity exist in nature is that it is hard to find matter configurations that mimic…
Toward a mechanism for the emergence of gravity
Carlos Barceló, Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Luis J. Garay +1
One of the main problems that emergent-gravity approaches face is explaining how a system that does not contain gauge symmetries ab initio might develop them effectively in some re…
Emergent gauge symmetries: Yang-Mills theory
Carlos Barceló, Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Luis J. Garay +1
Gauge symmetries remove unphysical states and guarantee that field theories are free from the pathologies associated with these states. In this work we find a set of general condit…
Inversion of statistics and thermalization in the Unruh effect
Julio Arrechea, Carlos Barceló, Luis J. Garay +1
We derive a master equation for the reduced density matrix of a uniformly accelerating quantum detector in arbitrary dimensions, generically coupled to a field initially in its vac…
