Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical
gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal …

We study the properties of the holographic CFT dual to Gauss-Bonnet gravity in general D
(≥ 5) dimensions. We establish the AdS/CFT dictionary and in particular relate the …

We examine holographic entanglement entropy with higher curvature gravity in the bulk. We
show that in general Wald's formula for horizon entropy does not yield the correct …

A bstract We extend the approach of [12] to a new calculation of the Rényi entropy of a
general CFT in d dimensions with a spherical entangling surface, in terms of certain thermal …

We construct a new gravitational action which includes cubic curvature interactions and
which provides a useful toy model for the holographic study of a three parameter family of …

Abstract We study (3+ 1)-dimensional holographic superconductors in Einstein-Gauss-
Bonnet gravity both numerically and analytically. It is found that higher curvature corrections …

We study several aspects of higher-order gravities constructed from general contractions of
the Riemann tensor and the metric in arbitrary dimensions. First, we use the fast …

Quasi-topological gravity is a new gravitational theory including curvaturecubed interactions
and for which exact black hole solutions were constructed. In a holographic framework …

A bstract Using holographic entanglement entropy for strip geometry, we construct a
candidate for a c-function in arbitrary dimensions. For holographic theories dual to Einstein …

We study the relation between the causality and positivity of energy bounds for Gauss-
Bonnet gravity in an AdS 7 background. Requiring the group velocity of metastable states to …
