Analytic detector responses and entanglement in constant-curvature spacetimes

Dyuman Bhattacharya, Jiayue Yang, Ming Zhang +1

We derive analytic response functions for Unruh--DeWitt detectors coupled to real, massless, conformally coupled scalar fields, to distinguish the effects of the field spectrum and…

On the Classical, Penrose, and Reverse Isoperimetric Inequalities in Black Holes: Insights From AdS to Flat Riemannian Backgrounds

Robert B. Mann, Behnam Pourhassan, Ali Dehghani

A collection of evidence is presented showing that the conjectured reverse isoperimetric inequality (RII) for asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) as well as de Sitter (dS) black ho…

Finite stress-tensor moment tomography of boundary-graviton coherences

Dyuman Bhattacharya, Robert B. Mann

Einstein gravity in 2+1 dimensions is a topological theory that does not admit the existence of local bulk gravitons. However, gravity with Brown-Henneaux boundary…

Acceleration and Rotation in Three Dimensions

Cameron R D Bunney, Ruth Gregory, Robert B Mann

We present a new family of exact solutions representing accelerating, rotating, point particle and black hole solutions in three-dimensional Einstein gravity. We investigate their…

Holographic Thermodynamics of Dyonic Dilaton AdS Black Holes

Muhammad Fitrah Alfian Rangga Sakti, Robert Mann, Piyabut Burikham

We investigate the holographic dual of the extended bulk thermodynamics of dyonic dilaton AdS black holes by allowing both the cosmological constant and Newton's gravitational cons…

Soliton-Black Hole Phase Transitions in the Presence of String Clouds

Ziqing Chen, Robert B. Mann

We study soliton-black hole phase transitions in asymptotically AdS planar spacetimes sourced by a cloud of strings. In the planar background, the string cloud exhibits a brush-lik…

From (Hidden) Symmetries to Stealth Solutions

David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann, Marek Milička

In a recent paper, Arxiv:2605.23077, we have demonstrated that (conformal) Killing vectors give rise to stealth vector solutions of a specific bumblebee-type Proca theory supplemen…

Multicritical points of gravitational solitons and a black hole in four dimensions

Moaathe Belhaj Ahmed, Moisés Bravo-Gaete, Robert B. Mann +1

We present the first realization of multicritical points in four-dimensional general relativity, specifically within the context of Plebański nonlinear electrodynamics, using a pol…

Nonperturbative Danielson-Satishchandran-Wald Decoherence with Unruh-DeWitt detectors

Levy B. N. Batista, André G. S. Landulfo, Robert B. Mann +1

Recently, Danielson, Satishchandran, and Wald (DSW) have proposed a novel source of decoherence for uniformly accelerated charges and masses in spatial superposition in spacetimes…

Probing holographic conformal field theories

Ming Zhang, Jiayue Yang, Dyuman Bhattacharya +1

We embed relativistic quantum information protocols in AdS/CFT: an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to a local primary of a holographic CFT has a reduced state fixed by the universal…

Analytic Tools for Harvesting Magic Resource in Curved Spacetime

Jiayue Yang, Dyuman Bhattacharya, Ming Zhang +1

The quantum vacuum is not really empty; it is a reservoir of operationally accessible non-classical resources. Understanding how to extract these resources to fuel information proc…

Normal modes of charged AdS solitons

Mengqi Lu, Ming Zhang, Robert B. Mann

We study massive charged scalar field perturbations in four- and five- dimensional charged anti-de Sitter soliton spacetimes. Appropriate boundary conditions are established via a…

Charged rotating quantum black holes

Dyuman Bhattacharya, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +1

We investigate the thermodynamic and holographic properties of charged and rotating quantum black holes in a doubly holographic braneworld setup. These quantum black holes are deri…

Finite-cutoff Holographic Thermodynamics

Ming Zhang, Wen-Di Tan, Mengqi Lu +3

We develop a framework for holographic thermodynamics in finite-cutoff holography, extending the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to incorporate a fin…

C-metric in a (nut)shell

Cameron R D Bunney, Robert B Mann

We present a comprehensive study of the C-metric in dimensions, placing it within a shell of stress energy and matching it to an exterior vacuum AdS metric. The C-metri…

Quantum charged black holes

Yiji Feng, Hao Ma, Robert B. Mann +2

Within the framework of braneworld holography, we construct a quantum charged black hole localized on a three-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) brane that intersects the asymptotic…

Recent Developments in Holographic Black Hole Chemistry

Robert B. Mann

One of the major developments in classical black hole thermodynamics is the inclusion of vacuum energy in the form of thermodynamic pressure. Known as Black Hole Chemistry, this su…
