The entropy of supersymmetric black holes in string theory
compactifications can be related to that of a D- or M-brane system,
which in many cases can be further reduced to a two-dimensional
conformal field theory (CFT). For black holes in M-theory...
"Saturons" are macroscopic objects that exhibit maximal
micristate degeneracy within the validity of a given quantum
field theoretic description. Due to this feature, saturons
and black holes belong to the same universality class with common
key...
This is an exciting time for stellar astrophysics as
high-cadence time domain surveys (Gaia, PTF, ZTF, ATLAS, Kepler,
TESS, and, in the near future, the Vera Rubin Observatory) are
revolutionizing the landscape of stellar studies by allowing
the...
