Gravity simulators are laboratory systems where small excitations like sound or surface waves behave as fields propagating on a curved spacetime geometry. The analogy between gravity and fluids requires vanishing viscosity, a feature…
We study the geodesics of massive particles around accelerating Schwarzschild black hole. We show that the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit increases and the angular momentum of particle at this orbit decreases by increasing…

As a step towards the classification of supergravity backgrounds with flux, we study the (back-reacted) geometry created by a BPS M2-brane when it wraps a cycle in a Calabi-Yau manifold. If it is to preserve supersymmetry, the membrane…
We revisit and complete the study of curved BPS-domain walls in matter-coupled 5D, N=2 supergravity and carefully analyse the relation to gravitational theories known as "fake supergravities". We first show that \emph{curved} BPS-domain…

Geodesic probes in certain horizonless microstate geometries experience extreme tidal forces long before reaching the region where these geometries differ significantly from the extremal BTZ black hole. The purpose of this paper is to show…
We construct black hole solutions to the Yang-Mills equations in an AdS_4-Schwarzschild background which exhibit superconductivity. What makes these backgrounds p-wave superconductors is that the order parameter is a vector, and the…
Circular orbits of spinning test particles and their stability in Schwarzschild-like backgrounds are investigated. For these space-times the equations of motion admit solutions representing circular orbits with particles spins being…
Logarithmic superfluid theory of physical vacuum suggests that gravity has a multiple-scale structure; where one can recognize sub-Newtonian, Newtonian, logarithmic, linear and quadratic (de Sitter) terms in the induced spacetime metric and…
We consider the dynamics of a single probe brane on various cosmological brane backgrounds. The on-shell condition of the static probe brane leads to the supersymmetric intersection rules for static BPS configurations, though the…

It is found theoretically based on the Ginzburg-Landau framework that p-wave superfluids of neutral atom gases in three dimension harmonic traps exhibit spontaneous mass current at rest, whose direction depends on trap geometry. Under…
It has recently been realized that the gap nodes of multiband superconductors that break time-reversal symmetry generically take the form of Fermi surfaces of Bogoliubov quasiparticles. However, these Fermi surfaces lead to a nonzero…
Gravitino masses above the electroweak scale provide the simplest solution to the gravitino problem, but such large mass scales lie far beyond the reach of collider experiments. We show that the stochastic gravitational wave background…
This work deals with the analysis of cylindrically symmetric and stationary space-times $\mathcal{C}_{t}$ with closed timelike curves. The equation of motion describing the evolution of a massive scalar field in a $\mathcal{C}_{t}$…
Modified gravity is often approached in the context of effective-field theory (EFT), with the view that the EFT corrections permit a more desirable theory. In this paper, we posit that this should extend to the causal structure of curved…
