Abstract: The uniqueness of the Kerr-de Sitter family of  black hole spacetimes as stationary solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations is a crucial ingredient to understanding the final states of positive cosmological constant universes, such as...

Abstract: I will describe recent progress towards understanding the gravitational path integral in AdS_3 quantum gravity and its boundary interpretation. A central question is: which spacetime topologies should be included in the path integral, and...

Abstract: Neutron stars and black holes represent the inevitable endpoints of stellar evolution for high-mass stars. Despite the apparent fine-tuning of the physical conditions necessary to produce them, neutron stars are abundant in the Galaxy. On...

Abstract: 

Abstract: Extremal horizons (and associated emergent quantum criticality of the corresponding holographic models) receive strong quantum corrections at very low temperatures.  We point out that when such models are embedded in top-down holography...

Abstract: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is a well-motivated extension of ΛCDM that can alter the inner structure of haloes via collisional heat transport. It has been explored as a possible solution to small-scale tensions such as the cusp-...
