Black holes in the gravity/gauge theory correspondence [PDF]

, 2002
The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a microscopic description of black hole thermodynamics. In this thesis, I study the relation between the classical physics of black holes and this microscopic description.

Classical and thermodynamic stability of black holes [PDF]

, 2010
We consider the stability of black holes within both classical general relativity and the semiclassical thermodynamic description. In particular, we study linearised perturbations and their contributions to the gravitational partition function. Exploring

The Velocity Dispersion Profile of Nine Open Clusters in the Solar Neighborhood

The Astrophysical Journal
We analyze the velocity dispersion profiles of nine open clusters in the solar neighborhood using kinematic data from Gaia DR 3, aiming to identify potential dynamical signatures of stellar-mass black holes through a comparison of theoretical and ...

Ion‐Reconfigurable “N”‐Shaped Antiambipolar Behavior in Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A unique N‐shaped negative differential transconductance (NDT) characteristics is demonstrated in single‐polymer organic electrochemical transistors through a sequential doping–redox–doping process driven by iodide ions. This redox‐driven mechanism enables low‐voltage, ion‐controlled reconfigurability and tunable current modulation, allowing seamless ...

The Black Hole Mass Function: From Stellar to Supermassive [PDF]

, 2023
The overall purpose of this thesis is to establish the black hole (BH) mass function, from stellar to supermassive. We divide this work into two: 1) the stellar black hole mass function covering the mass range $m_{\bullet} \sim 5 - 150 \ M_{\odot}$; 2 ...

Collapse of Rotating Very Massive Stellar Cores Leading to a Black Hole and a Massive Disk as a Source of Gravitational Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
We derive models of rotating very massive stellar cores with mass ≈10 ^2 –10 ^4 M _⊙ that are marginally stable to the pair-unstable collapse, assuming that the core is isentropic and composed primarily of oxygen.

Optically thick winds of very massive stars suppress intermediate-mass black hole formation

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are the link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. Gravitational waves have started to unveil a population of IMBHs in the ~100–300 M⊙ range. Here, we investigate the formation of IMBHs from non-rotating

GW231123: Likely a Product of Successive Mergers from ∼10 Stellar-mass Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal
GW231123 is an exceptionally massive binary black hole (BBH) merger with unusually high component spins. Such extreme properties challenge conventional stellar evolution models, predicting a black hole (BH) mass gap due to pair-instability supernovae. We

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...
