We consider static non-extremal charged black hole solutions in the context of N=2 gauged supergravity theories in five dimensions, and we show that they satisfy first-order flow equations. Then we analyze the motion of the dual brane in…
We study the brane with arbitrary tension $\sigma$ on the edge of various black holes with AdS asymptotics. We investigate Friedmann equations governing the motion of the brane universes and match the Friedmann equation to Cardy entropy…
Along this review, we focus on the study of several properties of modified gravity theories, in particular on black-hole solutions and its comparison with those solutions in General Relativity, and on Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker…
Among the several proposals to solve the incompatibility between the observed small value of the cosmological constant and the huge value obtained by quantum field theories, we can find the idea of a decaying vacuum energy density, leading…
A simple model of the brane-world cosmology has been proposed, which is characterized by four parameters, the bulk cosmological constant, the spatial curvature of the universe, the radiation strength arising from bulk space-time and the…
We study entanglement entropy (EE) in conformal field theories (CFTs) in Minkowski space with a planar boundary or with a planar defect of any codimension. In any such boundary CFT (BCFT) or defect CFT (DCFT), we consider the reduced…
This contribution inquires into Clausius' proposal that "the entropy of the world tends to a maximum.'" The question is raised whether the entropy of "the world" actually does have a maximum; and if the answer is "Yes!," what such states of…
In this note we calculate the Casimir effect of free thermal gravitons in Einstein universe and discuss how it changes the entropy bound condition proposed recently by Verlinde [hep-th/0008140] as a higher dimensional generalization of…
We consider the cosmological evolution of a brane for general bulk matter content. In our setup the bulk pressure and the energy exchange densities are comparable to the brane energy density. Adopting a phenomenological fluid ansatz and…
We study the dynamics of the geometric entanglement entropy of a 2D CFT in the presence of a boundary. We show that this dynamics is governed by local equations of motion, that take the same form as 2D Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to…
An effective quantum field theory (QFT) with a manifest UV/IR connection, so as to be valid for arbitrarily large volumes, can successfully be applied to the cosmological dark energy problem as well as the cosmological constant (CC)…
Cohen, Kaplan, and Nelson's influential paper established that the UV-IR cut-offs cannot be arbitrarily chosen but are constrained by the relation $\Lambda^2 L \lesssim M_p$. Here, we revisit the formulation of the CKN entropy bound and…
We investigate the transition phenomenon of the universe between a phantom and a non-phantom phases. Particular attention is devoted to the case in which the cosmological constant depends on time and is proportional to the square of the…
We consider the simplest scenario when black strings / cigars penetrate the cosmological brane. As a result, the brane has a Swiss-cheese structure, with Schwarzschild black holes immersed in a Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker…
We discuss the brane cosmology in the 5D anti de Sitter Reissner-Nordstrom (AdSRN$_5$) spacetime. A brane with the tension $\sigma$ is defined as the edge of an AdSRN$_5$ space with mass $M$ and charge $Q$. In this case we get the…
The combined Einstein equations and scalar equation of motion in the Horava-Witten scenario of the strongly coupled heterotic string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold are solved in the presence of additional matter densities on the…
As one of the possible extensions of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, it has been recently suggested that the presence of spacetime torsion could solve problems of the very early and the late-time universe undergoing accelerating…
We apply the gravity-thermodynamics conjecture, namely the first law of thermodynamics on the Universe horizon, but using the generalized Kaniadakis entropy instead of the standard Bekenstein-Hawking one. The former is a one-parameter…
Requiring the existence of a unitary, causal and local UV-completion places a set of positivity bounds on the corresponding effective field theories (EFTs). We discuss the obstructions and possibility in applying the positivity bound to…
We consider 5-dimensional cosmological solutions of a single brane. The correct cosmology on the brane, i.e., governed by the standard 4-dimensional Friedmann equation, and stable compactification of the extra dimension is guaranteed by the…
