Can Compactifications Solve the Cosmological Constant Problem?
Mark P. Hertzberg, Ali Masoumi
Recently, there have been claims in the literature that the cosmological constant problem can be dynamically solved by specific compactifications of gravity from higher-dimensional…
State of matter at high density and entropy bounds
Ali Masoumi
Entropy of all systems that we understand well is proportional to their volumes except for black holes given by their horizon area. This makes the microstates of any quantum theory…
Topics in vacuum decay (Ph.D Thesis)
Ali Masoumi
If a theory has more than one classically stable vacuum, quantum tunneling and thermal jumps make the transition between the vacua possible. The transition happens through a first…
A violation of the covariant entropy bound?
Ali Masoumi, Samir D. Mathur
Several arguments suggest that the entropy density at high energy density should be given by the expression , where is a constant of order unity. On the othe…
