The set of sum rules for a wide class of nonminimal Higgs models has been obtained. Difficulties and ways for revealing the possibilities of studying extended Higgs models at colliders have been revealed with the use of these sum rules and…
We investigate the evaporation of an uncharged and non-rotating black hole (BH) in vacuum, by taking into account the effects given by the shrinking of the horizon area. These include the back-reaction on the metric and other smaller…
A relativistic quantum model of particle scattering near the horizon of a microscopic black hole unifies gravity and the harmonic-oscillator force. The model is obtained by modifying a harmonic-oscillator nonstandard Lagrangian for a closed…
The strong version of the nonviolent nonlocality proposal of Giddings predicts "strong but soft" quantum metric fluctuations near black hole horizons in an attempt to resolve the information paradox. To study observable signatures of this…
Both AdS/CFT duality and more general reasoning from quantum gravity point to a rich collection of boundary observables that always evolve unitarily. The physical quantum gravity states described by these observables must be solutions of…
Quantum Mechanics of the Early Universe is considered as deformation of a well-known Quantum Mechanics. Similar to previous works of the author, the principal approach is based on deformation of the density matrix with concurrent…
Although supermassive black holes (SMBHs) correlate well with their host galaxies, there is an emerging view that outliers exist. Henize 2-10, NGC 4889, and NGC1277 are examples of SMBHs at least an order of magnitude more massive than…
When massless particles are involved, the traditional scattering matrix ($S$-matrix) does not exist: it has no rigorous non-perturbative definition and has infrared divergences in its perturbative expansion. The problem can be traced to the…
Time evolution of a black hole lattice universe is simulated. The vacuum Einstein equations in a cubic box with a black hole at the origin are numerically solved with periodic boundary conditions on all pairs of opposite faces. Defining…
To model the interior of a black hole, a study is made of a spin system with long-range random four-spin couplings that exhibits quantum chaos. The black hole limit corresponds to a system where the microstates are approximately degenerate…
Recent observational and theoretical studies have suggested that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow mostly through non-merger (`secular') processes. Since galaxy mergers lead to dynamical bulge growth, the only way to observationally…
We define bit models of evaporating black holes which incorporate the effects of replica wormholes. These enter as non-perturbative corrections to the gravitational inner product, arising from spacetime wormholes that connect replica black…
We explore a version of black hole complementarity, where an approximate semiclassical effective field theory for interior infalling degrees of freedom emerges holographically from an exact evolution of exterior degrees of freedom. The…
We present some preliminary results from recent numerical simulations that model the evolution of super-massive black hole (SMBH) binaries in galactic nuclei. Including the post-Newtonian terms for the binary system and adopting appropriate…
Aims: In this paper we study density cusps that may contain central black holes. The actual co-eval self-similar growth would not distinguish between the central object and the surroundings. Methods: To study the environment of a growing…
This work presents a comprehensive investigation of the gravitational phenomena that correspond to a non-commutative (NC) charged black hole, by incorporating NC geometry through a Moyal twist. We derive the deformed metric up to the second…
(abridged) We consider a secular orbital evolution of a supermassive binary black hole (SBBH) with unequal masses $M_p$ and $M_s < M_p$ in a central part of a non-spherical nuclear star cluster (NSC). When the mass of NSC inside the orbit…
In this talk we go over several new developments regarding the techniques for a large class of non-hermitian matrix models with unitary randomness (complex random numbers). In particular, we discuss: (a) - A diagrammatic approach based on a…
We consider a collapsing relativistic spherical shell for a free quantum field. Once the center of the wavefunction of the shell passes a certain radius R, the degrees of freedom inside R are traced over. We show that an observer outside…
The dynamics of neutrino mixing and oscillations are studied directly in finite real time in a model that effectively describes charged current weak interactions. Finite time corrections to the S-matrix result for the appearance and…
