High-energy gravitational scattering and black hole resonances
Steven B. Giddings, Mark Srednicki
Aspects of super-planckian gravitational scattering and black hole formation are investigated, largely via a partial-wave representation. At large and decreasing impact parameters,…
Universal quantum mechanics
Steven B. Giddings
If gravity respects quantum mechanics, it is important to identify the essential postulates of a quantum framework capable of incorporating gravitational phenomena. Such a construc…
High-energy black hole production
Steven B. Giddings
Black hole production in high-energy collisions is briefly surveyed. Included is a summary of recent developments and open problems relevant to collider (LHC) production, as well a…
Black holes, information, and locality
Steven B. Giddings
Thirty years of a deepening information paradox suggest the need to revise our basic physical framework. Multiple indicators point toward reassessment of the principle of locality:…
Gravitational effects in ultrahigh-energy string scattering
Steven B. Giddings, David J. Gross, Anshuman Maharana
Ultrahigh-energy string scattering is investigated to clarify the relative role of string and gravitational effects, and their possible contributions to nonlocal behavior. Differen…
A global picture of quantum de Sitter space
Steven B. Giddings, Donald Marolf
Perturbative gravity about a de Sitter background motivates a global picture of quantum dynamics in `eternal de Sitter space,' the theory of states which are asymptotically de Sitt…
