Stability and Observability of Magnetic Primordial Black Hole-Neutron Star Collisions
John Estes, Michael Kavic, Steven L. Liebling +2
The collision of a primordial black hole with a neutron star results in the black hole eventually consuming the entire neutron star. However, if the black hole is magnetically char…
Wilson Surface Central Charge from Holographic Entanglement Entropy
John Estes, Darya Krym, Andy O'Bannon +2
We use entanglement entropy to define a central charge associated to a two-dimensional defect or boundary in a conformal field theory (CFT). We present holographic calculations of…
Holographic two-point functions for Janus interfaces in the CFT
Marco Chiodaroli, John Estes, Yegor Korovin
This paper investigates scalar perturbations in the top-down supersymmetric Janus solutions dual to conformal interfaces in the CFT, finding analytic closed-form solutions.…
Shining Light on Quantum Gravity with Pulsar-Black Hole Binaries
John Estes, Michael Kavic, Matthew Lippert +1
Pulsars are some of the most accurate clocks found in nature, while black holes offer a unique arena for the study of quantum gravity. As such, pulsar-black hole (PSR-BH) binaries…
Finite temperature holographic duals of 2-dimensional BCFTs
John Estes
We consider holographic duals of -dimensional conformal field theories in the presence of a boundary, interface, defect and/or junction, referred to collectively as BCFTs. In ge…
Near Horizon Geometry of Strings Ending on Intersecting D8/D4-branes
John Estes, Darya Krym, Bert Van Pol
We consider solutions of massive IIA supergravity corresponding to the half-BPS intersection of D8/D4-branes with fundamental strings. The -dimensional intersection preserves…
