The most general electrically and magnetically charged rotating black hole solutions of 5 dimensional \KK\ theory are given in an explicit form. Various classical quantities associated with the black holes are derived. In particular, one…
Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) constitute a prime target for future space-based gravitational-wave observatories such as LISA. In this paper, we analytically investigate the long-term phase shift (dephasing) in the gravitational wave…
In this paper, we investigate periodic orbits of test particles around a non-rotating Destounis-Suvorov-Kokkotas black hole and the resulting gravitational waves. Firstly, we examine the properties of circular orbits and find that circular…
Bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed within the context of QCD, paying attention to what can be derived from the theory with a reasonable degree of rigour. This is compared with the results of semiclassical arguments. Among…
I discuss some questions related to hard scattering processes in nuclei and corrections to the leading twist approximation. The QCD factorization theorem requires that high energy partons do not lose energy while traversing the nucleus. I…
The condition for the existence of the superradiance modes is derived for the incident scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves when the spacetime background is a higher-dimensional rotating black hole with multiple angular momentum…
The presence of long-range interactions violates a condition necessary to relate the energy of two particles in a finite volume to their S-matrix elements in the manner of Luscher. While in infinite volume, QED contributions to low-energy…
It has long been believed that accretion onto supermassive black holes powers quasars, but there has been relatively few observational constraints on the spins of the black holes. We address this problem by estimating the average radiative…
The quotients of a (non-orientable) quantum Seifert manifold by circle actions are described. In this way quantum weighted real projective spaces that include the quantum disc and the quantum real projective space as special cases are…
We review some recent results obtained for black holes using effective field theory methods applied to quantum gravity, in particular the unique effective action. Black holes are complex thermodynamical objects that not only have a…
Recent simulations of wave dark matter around black hole binaries revealed the formation of a universal density profile that co-rotates with the binary. We derive this profile from first principles, interpreting it as the steady state of a…
We describe a realistic mechanism whereby black holes with significant QCD color charge could have formed during the early universe. Primordial black holes (PBHs) could make up a significant fraction of the dark matter if they formed well…
Black holes are spacetimes that should describe the end state of the gravitational collapse of huge amounts of quantum matter. A quantum description of dust cores for black hole geometries that accounts for the large number of matter…
Quasar feedback is a key ingredient in shaping galaxy evolution. A rare population of extremely red quasars (ERQs) at $z=2-3$ are often associated with high-velocity [O III]$\lambda5008$ outflows and may represent sites of strong feedback.…
Strange quark nuggets (SQNs) could be the relics of the cosmological QCD phase transition, and they could very likely be the candidate of cold quark matter if survived the cooling of the later Universe, although the formation and evolution…
Most of the galaxies harbor supermassive Black Holes (SMBH) in their center. Some of them are observed in very high redshifts. We explore the possibility that SMBH form from the coherent waves of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) which are…
We present the perturbative heavy-quark condensate at five-loop order in QCD. This constitutes the first calculation at this order accounting for non-vanishing quark masses. Our result confirms the computation of the five-loop vacuum…
Quasars are thought to be powered by supermassive black holes accreting surrounding gas. Central to this picture is a putative accretion disk which is believed to be the source of the majority of the radiative output. It is well known,…
Rapid formation of supermassive black holes occurs in dense nuclear star clusters that are initially gas-dominated. Stellar-mass black hole remnants of the most massive cluster sink into the core, where a massive runaway black hole forms as…
We give the explicit expression for four-dimensional rotating charged black hole solutions of N=4 (or N=8) superstring vacua, parameterized by the ADM mass, four charges (two electric and two magnetic charges, each arising from a different…
