Optimizing Light in Space and Time: Inverse Design of Spacetime‐Modulated Metasurfaces via Discontinuous Galerkin Time‐Domain Method

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work presents a rigorous inverse design framework based on a discontinuous Galerkin time‐domain (DGTD) framework to handle arbitrary temporal variations in material properties. Our DGTD method is coupled with an advanced Bayesian optimization algorithm to design a realistic space‐time modulated silicon‐based metasurface that achieves nearly 80%$80\

Black hole collisions, instabilities, and cosmic censorship violation at large D

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We study the evolution of black hole collisions and ultraspinning black hole instabilities in higher dimensions. These processes can be efficiently solved numerically in an effective theory in the limit of large number of dimensions D.

Photon‐Sphere Modes in Curved Optical Microcavities: A Black‐Hole Analogue Laser

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
An optical analogue of a Schwarzschild black hole is realized using curved microcavities that preserve light‐like geodesics. A new family of laser modes confined around the photon sphere is identified alongside conventional whispering‐gallery modes. Analytical theory, numerical simulations, and experiments reveal curvature‐induced confinement, enabling

The enhancon mechanism in string theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The enhancon mechanism is a specific phenomenon in string theory which resolves a certain naked spacetime singularity arising in the supergravity description related to N = 2 supersymmetric pure gauge theory.

Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2008
Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations in which classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a ...

Quantum Singularities in Conformally Static Spacetimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
After a brief review of the standard definition and analysis of classical singularities in general relativistic spacetimes, and of quantum singularities in static spacetimes with timelike classical singularities, an extension of quantum singularities to conformally static spacetimes is summarized and applied to two test cases.

Is Spacetime Hole-Free? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Here, we examine hole-freeness - a condition sometimes imposed to rule out seemingly artificial spacetimes. We show that under existing definitions (and contrary to claims made in the literature) there exist inextendible, globally hyperbolic spacetimes ...

End of the world brane networks for infinite distance limits in CY moduli space

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Dynamical Cobordism provides a powerful method to probe infinite distance limits in moduli/field spaces parameterized by scalars constrained by generic potentials, employing configurations of codimension-1 end of the world (ETW) branes.

Stringy effects and the role of the singularity in holographic complexity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
There has been considerable recent interest in holographic complexity. The two leading conjectures on this subject hold that the quantum complexity of the boundary thermofield double state should be dual to either the volume of the Einstein-Rosen bridge ...

The singular status of spacetime singularities in quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes
Spacetime singularities are expected to disappear in quantum gravity. Singularity resolution prima facie supports the view that spacetime singularities are mathematical pathologies of general relativity.
