Thermodynamics of dynamical black holes beyond perturbation theory

Abhay Ashtekar, Daniel E. Paraizo, Jonathan Shu

The close similarities of the three laws of black hole mechanics, discovered by Bardeen, Carter and Hawking, with the laws of thermodynamics led to the identification of a multiple…

Thermodynamics of Black Holes, far from Equilibrium

Abhay Ashtekar, Daniel E. Paraizo, Jonathan Shu

As in thermodynamics, the celebrated first law of black hole mechanics relates infinitesimal changes in the properties of nearby equilibrium states of black holes (without referenc…

Dynamical Horizon Segments and Spacetime Isometries

Abhay Ashtekar, Badri Krishnan

Given a space-time admitting a dynamical horizon segment (DHS) , we show that there are stringent constraints on the Killing fields that…

Black Hole Evaporation in Loop Quantum Gravity

Abhay Ashtekar

The conference \emph{Black Holes Inside and Out} marked the 50th anniversary of Hawking's seminal paper on black hole radiance. It was clear already from Hawking's analysis that a…

Quasi-Local Black Hole Horizons: Recent Advances

Abhay Ashtekar, Badri Krishnan

While the early literature on black holes focused on event horizons, subsequently it was realized that their teleological nature makes them unsuitable for many physical application…

Black Holes Inside and Out 2024: visions for the future of black hole physics

Niayesh Afshordi, Abhay Ashtekar, Enrico Barausse +27

The gravitational physics landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by our ability to study strong-field regions, in particular black holes. Black Holes Inside and Out gathered world e…
