The BTZ black hole exhibits anti-Hawking phenomena
Laura J. Henderson, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +2
The Unruh effect is a surprising prediction of quantum field theory that asserts accelerating observers perceive a thermal spectrum of particles with a temperature proportional to…
Quantum optical levitation of a mirror
C. T. Marco Ho, Ryan J. Marshman, Robert B. Mann +1
While the levitating mirror has seen renewed interest lately, relatively little is known about its quantum behaviour. In this paper we present a quantum theory of a one dimensional…
Null hypersurfaces in Kerr-(A)dS spacetimes
Abdulrahim Al Balushi, Robert B. Mann
For many purposes, a three-dimensional foliation of spacetime is more advantageous to understanding its light cone structure. We derive the equations describing such foliations for…
Ruppeiner Geometry, Phase Transitions, and the Microstructure of Charged AdS Black Holes
Shao-Wen Wei, Yu-Xiao Liu, Robert B. Mann
Originally considered for van der Waals fluids and charged black holes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 071103 (2019)], we extend and generalize our approach to higher-dimensional charged Ad…
Charged accelerating black hole in gravity
Ming Zhang, Robert B. Mann
We obtain a charged accelerating AdS black hole solution in gravity and investigate its thermodynamic behaviour. We consider low-acceleration black holes that do not have an…
Thermodynamic Instabilities of Generalized Exotic BTZ Black Holes
Wan Cong, Robert B. Mann
We examine the conjecture that black holes violating the reverse isoperimetric inequality have negative specific heat at constant volume . We test this conjecture on the famil…
Hairy Black Hole Chemistry
Dumitru Astefanesei, Robert Mann, Raul Rojas
We study the thermodynamics of an exact hairy black hole solution in Anti-deSitter (AdS) spacetime. We use the counterterm method supplemented with boundary terms for the scalar fi…
Motion of localized sources in general relativity: gravitational self-force from quasilocal conservation laws
Marius Oltean, Richard J. Epp, Carlos F. Sopuerta +2
An idealized "test" object in general relativity moves along a geodesic. However, if the object has a finite mass, this will create additional curvature in the spacetime, causing i…
Finely Split Phase Transitions of Rotating and Accelerating Black Holes
Niloofar Abbasvandi, Wasif Ahmed, Wan Cong +2
We investigate the thermodynamic phase behaviour of rotating and slowly accelerating AdS black holes. While we find some similarities with the non-rotating charged counterparts, su…
Repulsive Interactions and Universal Properties of Charged Anti-de Sitter Black Hole Microstructures
Shao-Wen Wei, Yu-Xiao Liu, Robert B. Mann
The Ruppeiner geometry of thermodynamic fluctuations provides a powerful diagnostic of black hole microstructures. We investigate this for charged AdS black holes and find that whi…
Extended Thermodynamics and Complexity in Gravitational Chern-Simons Theory
Antonia Micol Frassino, Robert B. Mann, Jonas R. Mureika
We study several aspects of the extended thermodynamics of BTZ black holes with thermodynamic mass and angular momentum , for general val…
Mass in Lovelock Unique Vacuum gravity theories
Gabriel Arenas-Henriquez, Robert B. Mann, Olivera Miskovic +1
We derive an expression for conserved charges in Lovelock AdS gravity for solutions having -fold degenerate vacua, making manifest a link between the degeneracy of a given vacuu…
Critical Phenomena of Born-Infeld-de Sitter Black Holes in Cavities
Fil Simovic, Robert B. Mann
We examine the thermodynamic behaviour of charged, asymptotically de Sitter black holes embedded in a finite-radius isothermal cavity, with a Born-Infeld gauge field replacing the…
Thermodynamics of Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetimes
Robie A. Hennigar, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann
The thermodynamics of the Taub-NUT solution has been predominantly studied in the Euclidean sector, upon imposing the condition for the absence of Misner strings. Such thermodynami…
Trapped surfaces, energy conditions, and horizon avoidance in spherically-symmetric collapse
Valentina Baccetti, Robert B. Mann, Daniel R. Terno
We consider spherically-symmetric black holes in semiclassical gravity. For a collapsing radiating thin shell we derive a sufficient condition on the exterior geometry that ensures…
Zeno Friction and Anti-friction from Quantum Collision Models
Daniel Grimmer, Achim Kempf, Robert B. Mann +1
We analyze the quantum mechanics of the friction experienced by a small system as it moves non-destructively with velocity over a surface. Specifically, we model the interactio…
Black hole chemistry and holography in generalized quasi-topological gravity
Mozhgan Mir, Robie A. Hennigar, Jamil Ahmed +1
We investigate the thermodynamics of AdS black holes in Generalized Quasitopological Gravity with and without electric charge, concentrating on the version of the theory that is cu…
On generalized quasi-topological cubic-quartic gravity: thermodynamics and holography
Mozhgan Mir, Robert B. Mann
We investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of asymptotically anti de Sitter black holes in generalized quasi-topological gravity containing terms both cubic and quartic in the curv…
Probing geometric information using the Unruh effect in the vacuum
Aida Ahmadzadegan, Fatemeh Lalegani, Achim Kempf +1
We present a new method by which, in principle, it is possible to "see in absolute darkness," i.e., without exchanging any real quanta through quantum fields. This is possible beca…
A classification of Markovian fermionic Gaussian master equations
Marvellous Onuma-Kalu, Daniel Grimmer, Robert B. Mann +1
We introduce a classification scheme for the generators of open fermionic Gaussian dynamics. We simultaneously partition the dynamics along the following four lines: (1) unitary ve…
Holographic Complexity and Charged Scalar Fields
Musema Sinamuli, Robert B. Mann
We construct a time-dependent expression of the computational complexity of a quantum system which consists of two conformal complex scalar field theories in d dimensions coupled t…
Safe Trinification
Zhi-Wei Wang, Abdulrahim Al Balushi, Robert Mann +1
In this work, we provide a UV safe Trinification theory in which the Standard Model is embedded. Using recently developed large number-of-flavor techniques, safety is achieved by a…
