Stretched Horizon and Entropy of Superstars
Luca D'Errico, Wolfgang Mueck, Roberto Pettorino
Amongst the class of supergravity solutions found by Lin, Lunin and Maldacena, we consider pure and mixed state configurations generated by phase space densities in the dual fermio…
On boosted space-times with cosmological constant and their ultrarelativistic limit
Giampiero Esposito, Roberto Pettorino, Paolo Scudellaro
The problem of deriving a shock-wave geometry with cosmological constant by boosting a Schwarzschild-de Sitter (or anti-de Sitter) black hole is re-examined. Unlike previous work i…
N=1 Matter from Fractional Branes
R. Marotta, F. Nicodemi, R. Pettorino +2
We study a bound state of fractional D3-branes localized inside the world-volume of fractional D7-branes on the orbifold C^3/Z_2 x Z_2. We determine the open string spectrum that l…
On electrodynamics of rapidly moving sources
R. Pettorino, G. A. Vilkovisky
Rapidly moving sources create pairs in the vacuum and lose energy. In consequence of this, the velocity of a charged body cannot approach the speed of light closer than a certain l…
