We argue that a simple modification of the TeV scale quantum gravity scenario allows production of semiclassical black holes in particle collisions at the LHC. The key idea is that in models with large extra dimensions the strength of…
We investigate the physics of black hole formation from the head-on collisions of boosted equal mass Oscillatons (OS) in full numerical relativity, for both the cases where the OS have equal phases or are maximally off-phase (anti-phase).…
We investigate classical formation of a D-dimensional black hole in a high energy collision of two particles. The existence of an apparent horizon is related to the solution of an unusual boundary-value problem for Poisson's equation in…
It has been proposed that the superconformal index admits a novel reformulation, called giant graviton expansion. In this paper, we investigate the properties of dual $AdS_5$ black holes using the giant graviton expansion framework. First,…
We consider Gauss-Bonnet (GB) gravity in general dimensions, which is non-minimally coupled to a scalar field. By choosing the scalar potential of the type $V(\phi)=2\Lambda_0+\fft 12m^2\phi^2+\gamma_4\phi^4$, we first obtain large classes…
We construct new classes of supersymmetric AdS$_2 \times {\Sigma}$ solutions of 4d gauged supergravity in presence of charged hypermultiplet scalars, with ${\Sigma}$ the complex weighted projective space known as a spindle. These solutions…
We consider 1/4 BPS black hole solutions of ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity in $AdS_4$. The near horizon geometry is $AdS_2 \times S^2$ and supersymmetry is enhanced. In the first part of the paper we choose a moment map, which allows the…
The issue of microstate counting for general black holes in D=5, N=2 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets is discussed from various viewpoints. The statistical entropy is computed for the near-extremal case by using the central charge…
We study the formation, detection and coarse-graining of black holes in AdS/CFT, with an emphasis on the tension between boundary unitarity and the production of mixed state Hawking radiation in the bulk. We construct CFT states dual to…
Gravitational backgrounds, such as black holes, AdS, de Sitter and inflationary universes, should be viewed as composite of N soft constituent gravitons. It then follows that such systems are close to quantum criticality of graviton…

We discuss the quantum states in the moduli space, which constructed with maximally charged dilaton black holes. Considering the quantum mechanics in the moduli space, we obtain the asymptotic states for the near-coincident black holes and…
Supermassive black holes with up to a $\rm 10^{9}~M_{\odot}$ dwell in the centers of present-day galaxies, and their presence has been confirmed at z $\geq$ 6. Their formation at such early epochs is still an enigma. Different pathways have…
Following Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov [hep-th/0204051], we study strings in AdS black hole backgrounds. With respect to the pure AdS case, rotating strings are replaced by orbiting strings. We interpret these orbiting strings as CFT…
AdS/CFT correspondence is a "first-principle" tool to study the strongly coupled many-body systems. While it has been extensively applied to investigate the continuous symmetry breaking dynamics, the discrete symmetry breaking dynamics are…
We analyze the quantum process in which a cosmic string breaks in a de Sitter (dS) background, and a pair of neutral or charged black holes is produced at the ends of the string. The energy to materialize and accelerate the pair comes from…
A standard insight of the AdS/CFT correspondence is that some aspects of the geometry of a bulk state are encoded in the entanglement structure of its dual boundary state. As entanglement is not a linear quantum observable, this means that…
In matter coupled $F(4)$ gauged supergravity in six dimensions, we study supersymmetric $AdS_6$ black holes with various horizon geometries. We find new $AdS_2\,\times\,\Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}_1}\times\Sigma_{\mathfrak{g}_2}$ horizons with…
We construct a general asymptotically locally AdS$_7$ stationary black hole solution of 7d maximal gauged supergravity with three angular momenta and two electric charges. When embedded in 11d supergravity the black hole describes the…
