Generalized deformed conifolds (Stenzel spaces) are Ricci flat (2d-2)-dimensional manifolds embedded in C^d through the equation \sum_{i = 1}^d z_i^2 = \epsilon^2. In this talk, I will describe how to use the O(d) isometry of these spaces to find...

I will discuss c-theorems in the context of AdS/CFT in higher derivative gravity theories. I will focus mainly on D=3 and D=4. I will show that in D=3, demanding the existence of a simple c-function leads to the recently constructed new massive...

We present the evidence for an emerging mathematical correspondence between black holes and qubits. We first introduce the relevant parts of quantum information theory and entanglement theory. We then show how the entropy and classification of black...
