New Applications of the Gauge/Gravity Duality

Fernández, Daniel (Fernández Moreno) (Date of defense: 14-06-2013)
The purpose of this thesis is to put forth and present a series of new applications of the gauge/string duality to areas of high energy physics and condensed matter physics. The contributions showcased in this thesis amount ...
Black Holes: New Perspectives from Higher Dimensions

Haddad, Nidal (Date of defense: 27-10-2012)
However successful classical general relativity is, it faces non-normalizability problems at the quantum mechanical level. Nevertheless, it predicts the existence of black holes, which are thermal objects that are expected ...
Correspondences in higher-dimensional gravity

Di Dato, Adriana (Date of defense: 12-11-2015)
In this thesis we have made progress on the study of higher dimensional gravity by focusing on the properties of black holes and branes and their dynamics. We have developed two main projects: • provide several maps ...
Microscopic analysis of rotating black holes

Maccarrone Heredia, Alessandro (Date of defense: 08-02-2016)
The main objective of this thesis is to understand from a microscopic point of view some of the characteristic phenomena of rotating black holes. The inclusion of rotation gives rise to physics that allows a more precise ...
