Finite Charges from the Bulk Action
Robert McNees, Céline Zwikel
Constructing charges in the covariant phase space formalism often leads to formally divergent expressions, even when the fields satisfy physically acceptable fall-off conditions. T…
dS as excitation of AdS
Florian Ecker, Daniel Grumiller, Robert McNees
We introduce a family of 2D dilaton gravity models with state-dependent constant curvature so that dS emerges as an excitation of AdS. Curiously, the strong coupling region…
Looping Pendulum: Theory, Simulation, and Experiment
Collin Dannheim, Luke Ignell, Brendan O'Donnell +2
The looping pendulum is a simple physical system consisting of two masses connected by a string that passes over a rod. We derive equations of motion for the looping pendulum using…
Universal flow equations and chaos bound saturation in 2d dilaton gravity
Daniel Grumiller, Robert McNees
We show that several features of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model are in fact universal properties of two-dimensional Maxwell-dilaton gravity theories with a broad class of asymptotics.…
Bounds on extra dimensions from micro black holes in the context of the metastable Higgs vacuum
Katherine J. Mack, Robert McNees
We estimate the rate at which collisions between ultra-high energy cosmic rays can form small black holes in models with extra dimensions. If recent conjectures about false vacuum…
Menagerie of AdS boundary conditions
Daniel Grumiller, Robert McNees, Jakob Salzer +2
We consider different sets of AdS boundary conditions for the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the linear dilaton sector where the dilaton is allowed to fluctuate to leading order at…
