A class of exact solutions are presented for the interior of black holes of solar mass and beyond. In a core enclosed by the inner horizon, the binding energy released by dissolution of the pre-collapse nuclei is stored in electrostatic and…

We obtain an improved version of the area theorem for not necessarily differentiable horizons which, in conjunction with a recent result on the completeness of generators, allows us to prove that under the null energy condition every…

Baryogenesis during the electroweak phase transition is a plausible scenario for for the origin of matter in the Universe. Furthermore, it has the advantage over other scenarios in that one can imagine that much of the physics involved may…

In this paper we deal with infinite horizon optimal control problems. Basing on weak variations in an extremal problem in weighted function spaces we prove necessary conditions in form of the adjoint equation and a variational inequality.…

I give a synopsis, specifically aimed at nonexperts, of some of the recent developments in electroweak baryogenesis. The focus of the talk is on the present status of electroweak baryogenesis in supersymmetric models, since this is a…

If there is explicit violation of baryon plus lepton number at some energy scale, then the electroweak theory depends upon a {\theta}-angle. Due to a singular integration over small scale size instantons, this {\theta}-dependence is…

Event horizons are the defining feature of classical black holes. They are the key ingredient of the information loss paradox which, as paradoxes in quantum foundations, is built on a combination of predictions of quantum theory and…

Using the 2-D quantum energy momentum tensor expectation value near a black hole, the value near a collapsing shell which stops collapsing just outside the putative horizon is calculated and shown not to have any evidence of preHawking…

Several anomalies of black hole thermodynamics are resolved if one accepts hints from semi classical theory that in regions of strong gravity the energy density of the vacuum can become substantially negative. This leads to a picture of the…

We establish a correspondence between the gravitational phase space at null infinity and the subleading phase space near a finite-distance null hypersurface, such as a black hole horizon. Within this framework, we identify the celestial…

The minimization of energy-like cost functionals is addressed in the context of optimal control problems. For a general class of dynamical systems, with possibly unstable and nonlinear free dynamics, it is shown that a sequence of solutions…

We argue that classical scale invariance provides a technically natural solution to the problem of the radiative stability of the electroweak scale. Some realistic electroweak scale-invariant models are considered and their possible…

Localization phenomena in light scattering from random fluctuations of matter fields and spacetime metric near a black hole horizon were predicted to produce a pronounced peak in the angular distribution of second harmonic light in the…

This short note compares different methods to prove that Einstein-Dirac systems have no static, spherically symmetric solutions.

The results of high precision weak neutral current (WNC), Z-pole, and high energy collider electroweak experiments have been the primary prediction and test of electroweak unification. The electroweak program is briefly reviewed from a…

As is well known, electroweak breaking in the MSSM requires substantial fine-tuning. We explain why this fine tuning problem is abnormally acute, and this allows to envisage possible solutions to this undesirable situation. Following these…

It was argued recently that there exists an unexpected phenomenon, the reflection of incoming particles on the event horizon of black holes (Kuchiev(2003)). This means that a particle approaching the black hole can bounce back into the…

The concept of transparent and opaque horizons is defined. One example of opaqueness is the presence of a firewall. Two apparently contradictory statements are reconciled: The overwhelming number of black hole states have opaque horizons;…

The fact that the null generators of a future Cauchy horizon are past complete was proved first by Hawking and Ellis [1]. Then Budzy\'nski, Kondracki, and Kr\'olak outlined a proof free from an error found in the original one [2]. Finally,…

It is argued that the spatial homogeneity of the early universe need not be explained as having evolved from a previous inhomogeneous state. Rather, a homogeneous cosmic initial condition follows from the Second Law of Thermodynamics…
