Microcanonical D-branes and Back Reaction
Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Per Kraus
We compare the emission rates from excited D-branes in the microcanonical ensemble with back reaction corrected emission rates from black holes in field theory. In both cases, the…

Tunneling in a Time Dependent Setting
Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Per Kraus
A standard approach to analyzing tunneling processes in various physical contexts is to use instanton or imaginary time path techniques. For systems in which the tunneling takes pl…

Quantum Gravity and Turning Points in the Semiclassical Approximation
Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Samir D. Mathur
The wavefunctional in quantum gravity gives an amplitude for 3-geometries and matter fields. The four-space is usually recovered in a semiclassical approximation where the gravity…
