We present a first-principles derivation of the main results of the Kerr/CFT correspondence
and its extensions using only tools from gravity and quantum field theory. Firstly, we review …

The study of higher-dimensional black holes is a subject which has recently attracted vast
interest. Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries is a realization that the properties of …

The recently established formalism of a worldline quantum field theory, which describes the
classical scattering of massive bodies (black holes, neutron stars, or stars) in Einstein …

A bstract Picture yourself in the wave zone of a gravitational scattering event of two massive,
spinning compact bodies (black holes, neutron stars or stars). We show that this system of …

We derive the radial action of a spinning probe particle in Kerr spacetime from the worldline
formalism in the first-order form, focusing on linear in spin effects. We then develop a novel …

Phase transitions are among the most impressive phenomena occurring in nature. They are
an example of emergent behavior, ie, of collective properties having no direct counterpart in …

We consider Shiraishi's metrics on the moduli space of extreme black holes. We interpret the
simplification in the pattern of N-body interactions that he observed in terms of the recent …

A bstract We demonstrate separability of the Maxwell's equations in the Myers-Perry-(A) dS
geometry and derive explicit solutions for various polarizations. Application of our …
