The constraint on the total energy in a given spatial region is given from holography by the mass of a black hole which just fits in that region, which leads to an UV/IR relation: the maximal energy density in that region is proportional to…
Neutron stars contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe. This feature, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astrophysics, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of…
The suspicion that the existence of a minimal uncertainty in position measurements violates Lorentz invariance seems unfounded. It is shown that the existence of such a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position is not only consistent with…
Many methods have been developed for measuring the mass of invisible particles that only use kinematic information available at hadron colliders. Because a particle is identified by its mass, these methods are critical when distinguishing…
The holographic models for dense QCD matter work surprisingly well. A general implication seems that the deconfinement phase transition dictates the maximum mass of neutron stars. The nuclear matter phase turns out to be rather stiff which,…
The masses and radii of neutron stars are discussed in general relativity and scalar-tensor theory of gravity and the differences are compared with the current uncertainties stemming from the nuclear equation of state in the relativistic…
The properties of matter at ultra-high densities, low temperatures, and with a significant asymmetry between protons and neutrons can be studied exclusively through astrophysical observations of neutron stars. We show that measurements of…
The cosmological Friedmann equation sourced by the trace anomaly of a conformal field theory that is dual to the five-dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS geometry can be derived from the first law of thermodynamics if the apparent horizon of the…
The holographic principle relates (classical) gravitational waves in the bulk to quantum fluctuations and the Weyl anomaly of a conformal field theory on the boundary (the brane). One can thus argue that linear perturbations in the bulk of…
We investigate the origin of holographic dark energy models which were recently proposed to explain the dark energy-dominated universe. For this purpose, we introduce the spacetime foam uncertainty of $\delta l \ge l_{\rm…
In this work the Vacuum Energy Density Problem or Dark Energy Problem is studied on the basis of the earlier results by the author within the scope of the Holographic Principle. It is demonstrated that the previously introduced deformed…
The apparent Lorentz invariance of the laws of physics does not imply that space-time is indeed minkowskian. Matter made of solutions of Lorentz-invariant equations would feel a relativistic space-time even if the actual space-time had a…
The structure of a star composed of locally non-electroneutral incompressible three-component matter is considered within the framework of general relativity. For thermodynamic quantities like the pressure, the solution can be represented…
Employing a recently proposed metamodeling for the nucleonic matter equation of state we analyze neutron star global properties such as masses, radii, momentum of inertia, and others. The impact of the uncertainty on empirical parameters on…
The holostar is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations with a singularity free interior matter-density rho = 1 / (8 pi r^2) and a boundary membrane consisting out of tangential pressure. Although the interior matter has on…
Heisenberg showed in the early days of quantum theory that the uncertainty principle follows as a direct consequence of the quantization of electromagnetic radiation in the form of photons. As we show here the gravitational interaction of…
The appearance of strangeness in the form of hyperons within the inner core of neutron stars is expected to affect its detectable properties such as its global structure or gravitational wave emission. In this work, we explore the parameter…
The formation of a strange or hybrid star from a neutron star progenitor is believed to occur when the central stellar density exceeds a critical value. If the transition from hadron to quark matter is of first order, the event has to…
Based on an analysis of the entropy associated to the vacuum quantum fluctuations, we show that the holographic principle, applied to the cosmic scale, constitutes a possible explanation for the observed value of the cosmological constant,…
Using a set of model equations of state satisfying the latest constraints from both terrestrial nuclear experiments and astrophysical observations as well as state-of-the-art nuclear many-body calculations of the pure neutron matter…
