Papers
Understanding black hole evaporation using explicitly computed Penrose diagrams
TL;DR: In this article, the Penrose diagrams for a classical model of black hole formation and evaporation are plotted for a more detailed model, in which the authors argue for an improved understanding of the Hawking radiation process, and suggest some implications regarding information preservation and unitarity.
The Spatial Distribution of Metals in the Intergalactic Medium
TL;DR: In this paper, pixel correlation techniques were used to search for weak CIV and OVI absorption in the spectrum of quasar Q1422+231 in regions of the spectrum close to and far from galaxies at z ~ 3.
Enrichment of the intergalactic medium by radiation pressure driven dust efflux
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the enrichment of the intergalactic medium by the expulsion of dust grains from galaxies by radiation pressure, and they found that the dust and its subsequent (partial) destruction in the IGM can plausibly account for the observed level of C and Si enrichment of z = 3 IGM.
A Brief Introduction to Observational Entropy
TL;DR: In the past several years, observational entropy has been developed as both a (time-dependent) quantum generalization of Boltzmann entropy, and as a rather general framework to encompass classical and quantum equilibrium and non-equilibrium coarse-grained entropy as discussed by the authors.
Measures on Transitions for Cosmology from Eternal Inflation
TL;DR: It is argued that, in the context of eternal inflation in the landscape, making predictions for cosmological--and possibly particle physics--observables requires a measure on the possible cosmology histories as opposed to one on the vacua themselves.
