McVittie's Legacy: Black Holes in an Expanding Universe
Nemanja Kaloper, Matthew Kleban, Damien Martin
We prove that a class of solutions to Einstein's equations---originally discovered by G. C. McVittie in 1933---includes regular black holes embedded in Friedman-Robertson-Walker co…
Comments on "Gauge Fields and Unparticles"
Jamison Galloway, Damien Martin, David Stancato
The derivation of Feynman rules for unparticles carrying standard model quantum numbers is discussed. In particular, this note demonstrates that an application of Mandelstam's appr…
Is PT-symmetric quantum mechanics just quantum mechanics in a non-orthogonal basis?
Damien Martin
One of the postulates of quantum mechanics is that the Hamiltonian is Hermitian, as this guarantees that the eigenvalues are real. Recently there has been an interest in asking if…
Much ado about nothing: a treatise on empty and not-so-empty spacetimes
Damien Martin
In this thesis three separate problems relevant to general relativity are considered. Methods for algorithmically producing all the solutions of isotropic fluid spheres have been d…
Talk about Pivots
Damien Martin, Andreas Albrecht
We consider two different methods of parameterizing the dark energy equation of state in order to assess possible ``figures of merit'' for evaluating dark energy experiments. The t…
Dirty black holes: Symmetries at stationary non-static horizons
A J M Medved, Damien Martin, Matt Visser
We establish that the Einstein tensor takes on a highly symmetric form near the Killing horizon of any stationary but non-static (and non-extremal) black hole spacetime. [This foll…
