We construct spontaneously vectorized black holes where a real vector field is coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We employ three coupling functions for the vector field, and determine the respective domains of existence of the…
We introduce a new computational methodology for the identification and characterization of free volume within/around atomistic configurations. This scheme employs a three-stage workflow, by which spheres are iteratively grown inside of…
We consider the thermodynamics of rotating and charged asymptotically de Sitter black holes. Using Hamiltonian perturbation theory techniques, we derive three different first law relations including variations in the cosmological constant,…
Black holes hold a tremendous discovery potential. In this paper the extent to which the Event Horizon Telescope and its next generation upgrade can resolve their structure is quantified. Black holes are characterized by a perfectly…
We use the theory of calibrations to write the equation of a minimal volume vector field on a given Riemann surface.
We show the existence of a Hawking vector field in a full neighborhood of a local, regular, bifurcate, non-expanding horizon embedded in a smooth Einstein-Maxwell space-time without assuming the underlying space-time is analytic. It extends…
Stewart has presented a position-space derivation of the identity for the volume integral of a product of two vector fields noted by Gubarev, Stodolsky, and Zakharov, and applied the results to classical electromagnetic theory. I present a…
We study the property of matter in equilibrium with a static, spherically symmetric black hole in D-dimensional spacetime. It requires this kind of matter has an equation of state (\omega\equiv p_r/\rho=-1/(1+2kn), k,n\in \mathbb{N}), which…
The previously proposed "Complexity=Volume" or CV-duality is probed and developed in several directions. We show that the apparent lack of universality for large and small black holes is removed if the volume is measured in units of the…
Volume polynomials form a distinguished class of log-concave polynomials with remarkable analytic and combinatorial properties. I will survey realization problems related to them, review fundamental inequalities they satisfy, and discuss…
The McVittie metric does not describe a physical black hole in an expanding Universe because the curvature scalar and pressure at its event horizon are infinite. We show that extending this metric to an inhomogeneous scale factor, which…
Black hole configurations offer insights on the non-linear aspects of gravitational theories, and can suggest testable predictions for modifications of General Relativity. In this work, we examine exact black hole configurations in…
We study the moduli space volume of BPS vortices in quiver gauge theories on compact Riemann surfaces. The existence of BPS vortices imposes constraints on the quiver gauge theories. We show that the moduli space volume is given by a vev of…
The volume function V(t) of a compact set S\in R^d is just the Lebesgue measure of the set of points within a distance to S not larger than t. According to some classical results in geometric measure theory, the volume function turns out to…
This paper reviews the work done on black hole interior volume, entropy, and evaporation. An insight into the basics for understanding the interior volume is presented. A general analogy to investigate the interior volume of a black hole,…
We work over strata of meromorphic differentials with poles of order 1, and on affine subspaces defined by linear conditions on the residues. We propose a definition of the volume of these objects as the integral of a tautological class on…
We study the first law of black hole thermodynamics in the presence of surrounding gravitational fields and argue that variations of these fields are naturally incorporated in the first law by defining gravitational tension or gravitational…
We extend the notion of the cardinality of a discrete groupoid (equal to the Euler characteristic of the corresponding discrete orbifold) to the setting of Lie groupoids. Since this quantity is an invariant under equivalence of groupoids,…
We provide an invariant characterization of the physical properties of the Kerr spacetime. We introduce two dimensionless invariants, constructed out of some known curvature invariants, that act as detectors for the event horizon and…
We establish some bounds on the number of higher-dimensional partitions by volume. In particular, we give bounds via vector partitions and MacMahon's numbers.
