Simple counterterms for asymptotically AdS spacetimes in Lovelock gravity
Alexandre Yale
Although gravitational actions diverge in asymptotically AdS spacetimes, boundary counterterms can be added in order to cancel out those divergences; such counterterms are known in…
Comment on "Quantum Tunneling Beyond Semiclassical Approximation" by R. Banerjee and B. R. Majhi (and many others!)
Alexandre Yale
We discuss recent work which has found, using a tunneling approach, higher-order terms in the Hawking temperature. We highlight a few important issues in the derivation, such as a…
Exact Hawking Radiation of Scalars, Fermions, and Bosons Using the Tunneling Method Without Back-Reaction
Alexandre Yale
Hawking radiation is studied for arbitrary scalars, fermions, and spin-1 bosons, using a tunneling approach, to every order in but ignoring back-reaction effects. It is sho…
Thermodynamics of Constant Curvature Black Holes Through Semi-Classical Tunneling
Alexandre Yale
We study the semi-classical tunneling of scalar and fermion fields from the horizon of a Constant Curvature Black Hole, which is locally AdS and whose five-dimensional analogue is…
Analysis of Two-Particle Systems in 2 + 1 Gravity Through Hamiltonian Dynamics
Alexandre Yale, R. B. Mann, Tadayuki Ohta
We study the dynamics of particles coupled to gravity in (2 + 1) dimensions. Using the ADM formalism, we derive the general Hamiltonian for an N-body system and analyze the dynamic…
Structure of Lanczos-Lovelock Lagrangians in Critical Dimensions
Alexandre Yale, T. Padmanabhan
The Lanczos-Lovelock models of gravity constitute the most general theories of gravity in D dimensions which satisfy (a) the principle of of equivalence, (b) the principle of gener…
