The return of the membrane paradigm? Black holes and strings in the water tap
Vitor Cardoso, Oscar J. C. Dias, Leonardo Gualtieri
Several general arguments indicate that the event horizon behaves as a stretched membrane. We propose using this relation to understand gravity and dynamics of black objects in hig…
No consistent cross-interactions for a collection of massless spin-2 fields
Nicolas Boulanger, Thibault Damour, Leonardo Gualtieri +1
We report a no-go theorem excluding consistent cross-couplings for a collection of massless, spin-2 fields described, in the free limit, by the sum of Pauli-Fierz actions (one for…
Harmonic Analysis and Superconformal Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions from AdS/CFT Correspondence
Leonardo Gualtieri
In this thesis I review various aspects of the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence, where AdS_4 supergravity arises from compactification of M-theory on a coset space G/H and preserves N<8…
