In this paper we study the equilibrium configurations of anisotropic self-gravitating fermions, by extending to general relativity the solutions obtained in a previous paper. This treatment also generalizes to anisotropic systems the…

We propose a model of gravity in which a General Relativity metric tensor and an effective metric generated from a single scalar formulated in Geometric Scalar Gravity are mixed. We show that the model yields the exact Schwarzschild…
We study the equilibration of a class of far-from-equilibrium strongly interacting systems using gauge/gravity duality. The systems we analyse are 2+1 dimensional and have a four dimensional gravitational dual. A prototype example of a…
Motivated by the Higgs Inflation scenario, we study static spherically-symmetric solutions of the non-Abelian Higgs model coupled non-minimally to Gravity. We find solutions for the self-gravitating sphaleron as well as monopole-like…

Spontaneous collapse models are modifications of standard quantum mechanics in which a physical mechanism is responsible for the collapse of the wavefunction, thus providing a way to solve the so-called "measurement problem". The two most…
Building upon a thermodynamic formalism, we show that self-gravitating systems in hydrostatic equilibrium with a uniform density are maximal entropy states when submitted to perturbations which are slow on dynamical timescale. We coin this…

The scaling property of the thermodynamic free energy ($\Phi$) of a system at global equilibrium has been examined using a real-time method known as the virial theorem. We demonstrate these scaling properties through a derived relation…

The semi-classical collapse, including lowest order back-reaction, of a thin shell of self-gravitating quantized matter is illustrated. The conditions for which self-gravitating matter forms a thin shell are first discussed and an effective…
We consider integrable quantum spin chains with alternating spins (S_1,S_2). We derive a finite set of non-linear integral equations for the thermodynamics of these models by use of the quantum transfer matrix approach. Numerical solutions…
We report an exhaustive study of the performance of different variants of Green function methods for the spherium model in which two electrons are confined to the surface of a sphere and interact via a genuine long-range Coulomb operator.…
Matrix models play an important role in studies of quantum gravity, being candidates for a formulation of M-theory, but are notoriously difficult to solve. In this work, we present a fresh approach by introducing a novel exact model…
We re-derive hydrodynamical equations in General Relativity (GR) in the comoving reference frame for spherical symmetry and obtain from them the well-known but not explicitly derived Lagrangean equations in Special Relativity (SR), that is,…
We propose an approach to find out when a self-gravitating system is in a quasi-equilibrium state. This approach is based on a comparison between two quantities identifying behavior of the system: a measure of interactions intensity and the…
Small spin systems at the interface between analytical studies and experimental application have been intensively studied in recent decades. The spin ring consisting of four spins with uniform antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction is an…
We suggest a mechanism for the emergence of classical dynamical spacetime from an underlying quantum gravitational system. This is an example of a more general process, which we name micro-equilibration, and which can be thought of as local…
There are two paradigms to study nanoscale engines in stochastic and quantum thermodynamics. Autonomous models, which do not rely on any external time-dependence, and models that make use of time-dependent control fields, often combined…
