Higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics
Antonia M. Frassino, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1
Holographic braneworlds are used to present a higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics. In this framework, classical, asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hol…
The minus sign in the first law of de Sitter horizons
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson, Andrew Svesko +1
Due to a well-known, but curious, minus sign in the Gibbons-Hawking first law for the static patch of de Sitter space, the entropy of the cosmological horizon is reduced by the add…
Membrane nucleation rates from holography
Maite Arcos, Willy Fischler, Juan F. Pedraza +1
Membrane nucleation, a higher dimensional analog of the Schwinger effect, is a useful toy model for vacuum decay. While a non-perturbative effect, the computation of nucleation rat…
Black holes in dS
Roberto Emparan, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +2
In three-dimensional de Sitter space classical black holes do not exist, and the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution instead describes a conical defect with a single cosmological hori…
Computing spacetime
Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1
Inspired by the universality of computation, we advocate for a principle of spacetime complexity, where gravity arises as a consequence of spacetime optimizing the computational co…
Quasi-local energy and microcanonical entropy in two-dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity
Andrew Svesko, Evita Verheijden, Erik P. Verlinde +1
We study the semi-classical thermodynamics of two-dimensional de Sitter space () in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity coupled to conformal matter. We extend the quasi-l…
