Einstein-aether Elliptic Charges and the First Law of Asymptotically AdS Black Holes
Walter Arata, Moustafa Ismail, Stefano Liberati +3
We investigate the thermodynamic role of asymptotic aether alignment for universal horizons in Einstein-aether theory. In the static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically AdS sect…
Taming the Aretakis instability: extremal black holes with multi-degenerate horizons
Shreyansh Agrawal, Panagiotis Charalambous, Laura Donnay +2
Stationary black hole geometries with non-degenerate Cauchy horizons are classically unstable due to mass inflation. At extremality, mass inflation is absent, but a different dynam…
A Covariant Phase Space Approach to Einstein-AEther Gravity
Walter Arata, Stefano Liberati, Giulio Neri
Black hole thermodynamics in Lorentz-violating gravity is subtle because different excitations propagate at different speeds and hence identify different causal horizons. We revisi…
A Covariant Formulation of Logarithmic Supertranslations at Spatial Infinity
Florian Girelli, Simon Langenscheidt, Giulio Neri +2
We investigate the asymptotic symmetries of asymptotically flat spacetimes at spatial infinity. We propose a new symplectic structure and conservative boundary conditions in a poly…
Orbit method for Quantum Corner Symmetries
Giulio Neri, Ludovic Varrin
The classification of the unitary irreducible representations of symmetry groups is a cornerstone of modern quantum physics, as it provides the fundamental building blocks for cons…
Inner horizon instability via the trace anomaly effective action
Julio Arrechea, Giulio Neri, Stefano Liberati
In quantum field theory applied to black hole spacetimes, substantial evidence suggests that the Unruh and Hartle-Hawking vacuum states become singular at Cauchy horizons. This rai…
