We revisit the reconstruction of a free quantum field in 4-dimensional Lorentzian Anti-de-Sitter (AdS$_4$) spacetime in terms of primary operators in the boundary 3d CFT (CFT$_3$). We show that the positive and negative energy subspaces of…

Here we shall show that there is no other instability for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes, than the eikonal one and consider the features of the quasinormal spectrum in the stability sector in detail. The obtained…

We consider a massive vector Boson in a static patch of $D$-dimensional de Sitter space (dS$_D$). We argue that this field is controlled by an effective physical (squared) mass $\mu_{\mathrm{v}}^2 = m_{\mathrm{v}}^2 +…

We analyze the semiclassical stability of the Schwarzschild AdS black hole in the Euclidean partition function approach. We perform this computation in the large $D$ limit and focus on scalar perturbations. We obtain the equations for…

We present a construction of a perturbatively stable non-supersymmetric type II closed string model in four dimensions. It is based on a freely acting Scherk-Schwarz Z2-deformation of a supersymmetric construction which is recovered in…

We perform the study of perturbative aspects of a three-dimensional supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca theory minimally coupled to scalar superfields. Using the superfield formalism, we derive the propagators for both gauge and…

Motivated by the GW170817/GRB170817A constraint on the deviation of the speed of gravitational waves from that of photons, we study disformal transformations of the metric in the context of the generalized Proca theory. The constraint…

In this paper, we study Proca stars in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) Ellis wormholes. This study distinguishes itself from the analysis of the Proca stars in asymptotically flat spacetimes. In the AdS Ellis wormhole background, the…

We study black hole formation during the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in asymptotically $AdS_D$ spacetimes for $D=4,5$. We conclude that spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in asymptotically $AdS$ spaces is…

Constrained propagation of massless fields is ubiquitous in physical systems, arising from boundaries, material structure, or other restrictions on admissible modes. This paper shows that such constraints generically induce mass-like terms…
