Fragile black holes
Instability of Near-Extremal Black Holes Dual to Strongly Coupled Field Theories on Flat Spacetime
We show that AdS black holes dual to field theories on flat spacetime, as used in applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to QCD and condensed matter physics, are unstable to non-perturbative…
The fate of monsters in anti-de Sitter spacetime
A bstractBlack hole entropy remains a deep puzzle: where does such enormous amount of entropy come from? Curiously, there exist gravitational configurations that possess even larger entropy than a…
Kerr black holes are not fragile
Seiberg-Witten Instability of Various Topological Black Holes
We review the Seiberg-Witten instability of topological black holes in Anti-de Sitter space due to nucleation of brane-anti-brane pairs. We start with black holes in general relativity, and then…
Horizon Complementarity and Casimir Violations of the Null Energy Condition
The principle of horizon complementarity is an attempt to extend ideas about black hole complementarity to all horizons, including cosmological ones. The idea is that the degrees of freedom necessary…
Black Hole Remnants and the Information Loss Paradox
A universal lower bound on the specific temperatures of AdS-Reissner–Nordström black holes with flat event horizons
Stability of Horava-Lifshitz Black Holes in the Context of AdS/CFT
The anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is a powerful tool that promises to provide new insights toward a full understanding of field theories under extreme conditions,…
Quantum Non-thermal Effect from Black Holes Surrounded by Quintessence
We present a short and direct derivation of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process across the horizon and compute the tunneling probability. Considering the self-gravitation and energy…

Comment on "The black hole final state"
Horowitz and Maldacena have suggested that the unitarity of the black hole S-matrix can be reconciled with Hawking's semiclassical arguments if a final-state boundary condition is imposed at the…
Hartle–Hawking Wave-Function for Flux Compactifications: the Entropic Principle
We argue that the topological string partition function, which has been known to correspond to a wave-function, can be interpreted as an exact “wave-function of the universe” in the mini-superspace…
Excursions beyond the horizon: Black hole singularities in Yang-Mills theories. I.
We study black hole singularities in the AdS/CFT correspondence. These singularities show up in CFT in the behavior of finite-temperature correlation functions. We first establish a direct relation…
Hartle-Hawking WaveFunction for Flux Compactifications
We argue that the topological string partition function, which has been known to correspond to a wave-function, can be interpreted as an exact “wave-function of the universe” in the mini-superspace…
Holographic description of AdS cosmologies
To gain insight in the quantum nature of the big bang, we study the dual field theory description of asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions of supergravity that have cosmological singularities. The…
A Measure of de Sitter entropy and eternal inflation
We show that in any model of non-eternal inflation satisfying the null energy condition, the area of the de Sitter horizon increases by at least one Planck unit in each inflationary e-folding. This…
Unitarity and the Hilbert space of quantum gravity
Under the premises that physics is unitary and black hole evaporation is complete (no remnants, no topology change), there must exist a one-to-one correspondence between states on future null and…
Thermal gravity, black holes, and cosmological entropy
Taking seriously the interpretation of black hole entropy as the logarithm of the number of microstates, we argue that thermal gravitons may undergo a phase transition to a kind of black hole…
