The shear diffusion coefficient for generalized theories of gravity
Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved
Near the horizon of a black brane in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and near the AdS boundary, the long-wavelength fluctuations of the metric exhibit hydrodynamic behaviour. The gauge-…
A Brief Editorial on de Sitter Radiation via Tunneling
A. J. M. Medved
Very recently (by which we mean two days ago), Y. Sekiwa submitted a paper [arXiv:0802.3266] that dismisses some previous calculations of the de Sitter radiative temperature. Signi…
A Comment or two on Holographic Dark Energy
A. J. M. Medved
It has, quite recently, become fashionable to study a certain class of holographic-inspired models for the dark energy. These investigations have, indeed, managed to make some sign…
A Commentary on Ruppeiner Metrics for Black Holes
A. J. M. Medved
There has been some recent controversy regarding the Ruppeiner metrics that are induced by Reissner-Nordstrom (and Reissner-Nordstrom-like) black holes. Most infamously, why does t…
