Powering AGNs with super-critical black holes
A. Avgoustidis, R. Jimenez, L. Alvarez-Gaume +1
We propose a novel mechanism for powering the central engines of Active Galactic Nuclei through super-critical (type II) black hole collapse. In this picture, ~ of ma…
Critical formation of trapped surfaces in the collision of gravitational shock waves
Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Cesar Gomez, Agustin Sabio Vera +2
We study the formation of marginally trapped surfaces in the head-on collision of two shock waves both in anti-de Sitter and Minkowski space-time in various dimensions as a functio…
Critical gravitational collapse: towards a holographic understanding of the Regge region
Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Cesar Gomez, Agustin Sabio Vera +2
We study the possible holographic connection between the Regge limit in QCD and critical gravitational collapse of a perfect fluid in higher dimensions. We begin by analyzing the p…
Twisted invariances of noncommutative gauge theories
Alvaro Duenas-Vidal, Miguel A. Vazquez-Mozo
We study noncommutative deformations of Yang-Mills theories and show that these theories admit a infinite, continuous family of twisted star-gauge invariances. This family interpol…
12th International Conference on Elastic and Diffractive Scattering (Blois Workshop) - Forward Physics and QCD
J. Bartels, K. Borras, M. Diehl +118

Scaling Phenomena in Gravity from QCD
Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Cesar Gomez, Miguel A. Vazquez-Mozo
We present holographic arguments to predict properties of strongly coupled gravitational systems in terms of weakly coupled gauge theories. In particular we relate the latest compu…
