Defrosting frozen stars: spectrum of internal fluid modes
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tom Shindelman
The frozen star model provides a classical description of a regularized black hole and is based upon the idea that regularizing the singularity requires deviations from the Schwarz…
A maximal-entropy initial state of the Universe as a microscopic description of inflation
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved
We propose that the initial state of the Universe was an isotropic state of maximal entropy. Such a state can be described in terms of a state of closed, interacting, fundamental s…
Non-singular black holes interiors need physics beyond the standard model
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved
The composition as well as the very existence of the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) remains at the forefront of open problems in fundamental physics. To address this i…
The problem with `The Problem of Time'
K. L. H. Bryan, A. J. M. Medved
We investigate three aspects of the supposed problem of time: The disagreement between the treatments of time in general relativity and quantum theory, the problem of recovering ti…
Lower limit on the entropy of black holes as inferred from gravitational wave observations
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, K. Yagi
Black hole (BH) thermodynamics was established by Bekenstein and Hawking, who made abstract theoretical arguments about the second law of thermodynamics and quantum theory in curve…
-point functions of strongly coupled fluids dual to generalized higher-derivative theories of gravity
M. M. W. Shawa, A. J. M. Medved
We calculate the connected stress-tensor correlation functions that are dual to a certain class of graviton scattering amplitudes in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter, black brane s…
