A First-Quantized Formalism for Cosmological Particle Production
Alex J. Hamilton, Daniel Kabat, Maulik K. Parikh
We show that the amount of particle production in an arbitrary cosmological background can be determined using only the late-time positive-frequency modes. We don't refer to modes…
Brane gases in the early universe: thermodynamics and cosmology
Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, Mark G. Jackson +1
We consider the thermodynamic and cosmological properties of brane gases in the early universe. Working in the low energy limit of M-theory we assume the universe is a homogeneous…
Stretched horizons, quasiparticles and quasinormal modes
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We propose that stretched horizons can be described in terms of a gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. The quasiparticles are unstable, with a lifetime set by the imaginary part…
Quasiparticle picture of black holes and the entropy--area relation
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We propose an effective description of 0-brane black holes, in which the black hole is modeled as a gas of non-interacting quasi-particles in the dual quantum mechanics. This simpl…
