Thermodynamics of the BMN matrix model at strong coupling

We construct the black hole geometry dual to the deconfined phase of the BMN matrix model at strong 't Hooft coupling. We approach this solution from the limit of large temperature where it is approximately that of the non-extremal D0-brane geometry with a ...

(Re-)inventing the relativistic wheel: gravity, cosets, and spinning objects

Alexander Monin, Francesco Riva, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

Space-time symmetries are a crucial ingredient of any theoretical model in physics. Unlike internal symmetries, which may or may not be gauged and/or spontaneously broken, space-time symmetries do not admit any ambiguity: they are gauged by gravity, and an ...

Horava gravity versus thermodynamics: The black hole case

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Under broad assumptions, breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the exist ...

Stream Carving: an Adaptive Seam Carving Algorithm

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Daniel Domingues

We propose a new content-aware image resizing scheme, "Stream Carving", which is based on the well-known seam carving method. Our algorithm may introduce larger seams in the retargeted image, i.e. seams with a width larger than one pixel, that we call "str ...

Magnetism in a Mn modulation-doped InAs/InGaAs heterostructure with a two-dimensional hole system

Dirk Grundler

For an InAsquantum well which is modulation-doped with Mn we measure directly and simultaneously the magnetization and magnetic anisotropy of, both, the two dimensional hole system (2DHS) and Mn dopants. Using highly sensitive micromechanical torque magnet ...

Phenomenology of 10(32) dark sectors

Michele Redi

We postulate an exact permutation symmetry acting on 10(32) standard model copies as the largest possible symmetry extension of the standard model. This setup automatically lowers the fundamental gravity cutoff down to TeV, and thus, accounts for the quant ...

The theta parameter in loop quantum gravity: effects on quantum geometry and black hole entropy

Danilo Jimenez Rezende

The precise analog of the theta-quantization ambiguity of Yang-Mills theory exists for the real SU(2) connection formulation of general relativity. As in the former case theta labels representations of large gauge transformations, which are super-selection ...

Black hole bound on the number of species and quantum gravity at CERN LHC

Michele Redi

In theories with a large number N of particle species, black hole physics imposes an upper bound on the mass of the species equal to M-Planck/root N. This bound suggests a novel solution to the hierarchy problem in which there are N approximate to 10(32) g ...

Gravity Cutoff in Theories with Large Discrete Symmetries

Sergey Sibiryakov, Michele Redi

We set an upper bound on the gravitational cutoff in theories with exact quantum numbers of large N periodicity, such as Z(N) discrete symmetries. The bound stems from black hole physics. It is similar to the bound appearing in theories with N particle spe ...

Single hole and vortex excitations in the doped Rokhsar-Kivelson quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice

Dmitri Ivanov, Samuel Bieri, Hugo Ribeiro

We consider the doped Rokhsar-Kivelson quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice with one mobile hole (monomer) at the Rokhsar-Kivelson point. The motion of the hole is described by two branches of excitations: the hole may either move with or without ...
