The ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density in generalized theories of gravity
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved
Near the horizon of a black brane solution in Anti-de Sitter space, the long-wavelength fluctuations of the metric exhibit hydrodynamic behaviour. For Einstein's theory, the ratio…

Models of Modular Inflation and Their Phenomenological Consequences
Ido Ben-Dayan, Ram Brustein, Senarath P. de Alwis
We study models of modular inflation of the form expected to arise from low energy effective actions of superstring theories. We argue on general grounds that the most likely model…

Entanglement and Nonunitary Evolution
Ram Brustein, Martin B. Einhorn, Amos Yarom
We consider a collapsing relativistic spherical shell for a free quantum field. Once the center of the wavefunction of the shell passes a certain radius R, the degrees of freedom i…
