Quantum horizons and black hole entropy: Inclusion of distortion and rotation
Abhay Ashtekar, Jonathan Engle, Chris Van Den Broeck
Equilibrium states of black holes can be modelled by isolated horizons. If the intrinsic geometry is spherical, they are called type I while if it is axi-symmetric, they are called…
Batalin-Vilkovisky gauge-fixing of a chiral two-form in six dimensions
Chris Van Den Broeck, Kor Van Hoof
We perform the gauge-fixing of the theory of a chiral two-form boson in six dimensions starting from the action given by Pasti, Sorokin and Tonin. We use the Batalin-Vilkovisky for…
A `warp drive' with more reasonable total energy requirements
Chris Van Den Broeck
I show how a minor modification of the Alcubierre geometry can dramatically improve the total energy requirements for a `warp bubble' that can be used to transport macroscopic obje…
The rigid limit in Special Kähler geometry for SU(2) SYM with a massive quark hypermultiplet
Chris Van Den Broeck
We study the rigid limit of type IIB string theory, compactified on a K3 fibration, which, near its conifold limit, contains the Seiberg-Witten curve for N=2 SU(2) Super-Yang-Mills…
