Background boucing cosmologies in the framework of General Relativity, driven by a single scalar field filling the Universe, and with a quasi-matter domination period, i.e., depicting the so-called Matter Bounce Scenario, are reconstructed…
We consider self-interacting scalar fields coupled to gravity. Two classes of exact solutions to Einstein's equations are obtained: the first class corresponds to the minimal coupling, the second one to the conformal coupling. One of the…
Varying the curvature, quantum phase transitions are investigated in holographic confining QFTs defined on a fixed constant positive curvature background. We find a competition between two branches of solutions and a phase transition as one…

Flat Space Cosmologies (FSC) are time-dependent solutions in Einstein gravity in three-dimensional (3D) spacetimes with zero cosmological constant. These are orbifolds of 3D flat space that have a cosmological horizon and can be thought of…
We construct a new class of 1/4-BPS time dependent domain-wall solutions with null-like metric and dilaton in type II supergravities, which admit a null-like big bang singularity. Based on the domain-wall/QFT correspondence, these solutions…
We use holography to study the spectra of boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs). To do so, we consider a 2-dimensional Euclidean BCFT with two circular boundaries that correspond to dynamical end-of-the-world branes in 3-dimensional…
We study the holographic dual of the extended thermodynamics of spherically symmetric, charged Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Compared to Einstein's theory of gravity, Gauss-Bonnet gravity…
Motivated by a one-cycle cosmological scenario where the big bang marks the egress from a Euclidean metric signature regime, we investigate the possibility of black holes (BH) hosting the mirroring entryways. Analogous to the inflationary…
Recent studies of asymptotic symmetries suggest, that a Hamiltonian phase space analysis in gravitational theories might be able to account for black hole microstates. In this context we explain, why the use of conventional Bondi fall-off…
The issues of holography and possible links with gauge theories in spacetime physics is discussed, in an approach quite distinct from the more restricted AdS-CFT correspondence. A particular notion of holography in the context of black hole…
