Constraints on primordial black holes

B Carr, K Kohri, Y Sendouda… - Reports on Progress in …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We update the constraints on the fraction of the Universe that may have gone into primordial
black holes (PBHs) over the mass range 10− 5 to 10 50 g. Those smaller than∼ 10 15 g …

The entropy of Hawking radiation

S Vagnozzi, R Roy, YD Tsai, L Visinelli… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Horizon-scale images of black holes (BHs) and their shadows have opened an
unprecedented window onto tests of gravity and fundamental physics in the strong-field …

An algebra of observables for de Sitter space

V Chandrasekaran, R Longo, G Penington… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We describe an algebra of observables for a static patch in de Sitter space, with
operators gravitationally dressed to the worldline of an observer. The algebra is a von …

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

G Penington, SH Shenker, D Stanford… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Recent work has shown how to obtain the Page curve of an evaporating black hole
from holographic computations of entanglement entropy. We show how these computations …

Entanglement wedge reconstruction and the information paradox

G Penington - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract When absorbing boundary conditions are used to evaporate a black hole in
AdS/CFT, we show that there is a phase transition in the location of the quantum Ryu …

The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry

A Almheiri, R Mahajan, J Maldacena… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We consider a gravity theory coupled to matter, where the matter has a higher-
dimensional holographic dual. In such a theory, finding quantum extremal surfaces becomes …

The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

Scalar induced gravitational waves review

G Domènech - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
We provide a review on the state-of-the-art of gravitational waves induced by primordial
fluctuations, so-called induced gravitational waves. We present the intuitive physics behind …

Solvable models of quantum black holes: a review on Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity

TG Mertens, GJ Turiaci - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
