Super-Entropic Black Holes and the Kerr-CFT Correspondence
Musema Sinamuli, Robert B. Mann
We demonstrate that Kerr-CFT duality can be extended to super-entropic black holes, which have non-compact horizons with finite area. We demonstrate that this duality is robust ins…
Ultraspinning limits and rotating hyperboloid membranes
Robie A. Hennigar, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann +1
We apply the hyperboloid membrane limit to the general Kerr-AdS metrics and their recently studied super-entropic cousins and obtain a new class of rotating black holes, for which…
Thermalon mediated phase transitions in Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann, Saoussen Mbarek
Thermalons can mediate phase transitions between different vacua in higher curvature gravity, potentially changing the asymptotic structure of the spacetime. Treating the cosmologi…
Geoids in General Relativity: Geoid Quasilocal Frames
Marius Oltean, Richard J. Epp, Paul L. McGrath +1
We develop, in the context of general relativity, the notion of a geoid -- a surface of constant "gravitational potential". In particular, we show how this idea naturally emerges a…
Dynamical Casimir effect in Circuit QED for Nonuniform Trajectories
Paulina Corona-Ugalde, Eduardo Martin-Martinez, C. M. Wilson +1
We propose a generalization of the superconducting circuit simulation of the dynamical Casimir effect where we consider relativistically moving boundary conditions following differ…
A Simple Test of the Equivalence Principle(s) for Quantum Superpositions
Patrick J. Orlando, Robert B. Mann, Kavan Modi +1
We propose a simple experimental test of the quantum equivalence principle introduced by Zych and Brukner [arXiv:1502.00971], which generalises the Einstein equivalence principle t…
Asymptotic Safety in the Conformal Hidden Sector?
Zhi-Wei Wang, Frederick S. Sage, T. G. Steele +1
We combine the notion of asymptotic safety (AS) with conformal invariance in a hidden sector beyond the Standard Model. We use the renormalization group (RG) equations as a bridge…
Double Images from a Single Black Hole
Shohreh Abdolrahimi, Robert B. Mann, Christos Tzounis
In the simulations of the multi-black holes and merging black holes a larger primary image and a secondary smaller image which looks like an eyebrow and the deformation of the shad…
Conformal Complex Singlet Extension of the Standard Model: Scenario for Dark Matter and a Second Higgs Boson
Zhi-Wei Wang, T. G. Steele, T. Hanif +1
We consider a conformal complex singlet extension of the Standard Model with a Higgs portal interaction. The global symmetry of the complex singlet can be either broken or u…
Classicality of a quantum oscillator
Aida Ahmadzadegan, Robert B. Mann, Daniel R. Terno
Gaussian quantum systems exhibit many explicitly quantum effects but can be simulated classically. Using both the Hilbert space (Koopman) and the phase-space (Moyal) formalisms we…
Reentrant phase transitions and van der Waals behaviour for hairy black holes
Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann
We study the extended phase space thermodynamics for hairy AdS black hole solutions to Einstein-Maxwell- theory conformally coupled to a scalar field in five dimensions. We find…
Lower-Dimensional Black Hole Chemistry
Antonia M. Frassino, Robert B. Mann, Jonas R. Mureika
The connection between black hole thermodynamics and chemistry is extended to the lower-dimensional regime by considering the rotating and charged BTZ metric in the -D and a…
Mass and Thermodynamic Volume in Lifshitz Spacetimes
Wilson G. Brenna, Robert B. Mann, Miok Park
We examine the concept of black hole thermodynamic volume and its consistency with thermodynamic mass in spacetimes that are not asymptotically flat but instead have anisotropic Li…
P-V Criticality in Quasitopological Gravity
Robie A. Hennigar, Wilson G. Brenna, Robert B. Mann
We investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of AdS quasitopological black hole solutions in the context of extended thermodynamic phase space, in which the cosmological constant ind…
Ultraspinning limits and super-entropic black holes
Robie A. Hennigar, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann +1
By employing the new ultraspinning limit we construct novel classes of black holes with non-compact event horizons and finite horizon area and study their thermodynamics. Our ultra…
Anti-Unruh Phenomena
Wilson G. Brenna, Robert B. Mann, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We find that a uniformly accelerated particle detector coupled to the vacuum can cool down as its acceleration increases, due to relativistic effects. We show that in (1+1)-dimensi…
Distorted Local Shadows
Shohreh Abdolrahimi, Robert B. Mann, Christos Tzounis
We introduce the notion of a local shadow for a black hole and determine its shape for the particular case of a distorted Schwarzschild black hole. Considering the lowest-order eve…
