Abstract Cosmological Black Holes as Models of Cosmological Inhomogeneities
, 2006
"... Since cosmological black holes modify the density and pressure of the surrounding universe, and introduce heat conduction, they produce simple models of cosmologi-cal inhomogeneities that can be used to study the eect of inhomogeneities on the universe's expansion. In this thesis, new cosmologi ..."

holes. Since the non-isotropic black holes introduce shear, according to Raychaudhuri's equation they will tend to decrease the volume expansion of the universe. Unlike several studies that have suggested the relativistic backreaction of inhomogeneities would lead to an accelerating expansion
Anti-de Sitter Space, Thermal Phase Transition, and Confinement in Gauge Theories
- Adv. Theor. Math. Phys
, 1998
"... The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on AdS space and boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space. In this description, quantum phenome ..."

Option Pricing: A Simplified Approach
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 1979
"... This paper presents a simple discrete-time model for valumg optlons. The fundamental econonuc principles of option pricing by arbitrage methods are particularly clear In this setting. Its development requires only elementary mathematics, yet it contains as a special limiting case the celebrated Blac ..."

Black-&holes model, which has previously been derived only by much more difficult methods. The basic model readily lends itself to generalization in many ways. Moreover, by its very constructlon, it gives rise to a simple and efficient numerical procedure for valumg optlons for which premature
Large N field theories, string theory and gravity
, 2001
"... We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories. We review the background for this correspondence and discuss its motivations and the evide ..."

theories in other dimensions, conformal and non-conformal, with or without supersymmetry, and in particular the relation to QCD. We also discuss some implications for black hole physics.
Option pricing when underlying stock returns are discontinuous
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 1976
"... The validity of the classic Black-Scholes option pricing formula dcpcnds on the capability of investors to follow a dynamic portfolio strategy in the stock that replicates the payoff structure to the option. The critical assumption required for such a strategy to be feasible, is that the underlying ..."

Quantum Gravity
, 2004
"... We describe the basic assumptions and key results of loop quantum gravity, which is a background independent approach to quantum gravity. The emphasis is on the basic physical principles and how one deduces predictions from them, at a level suitable for physicists in other areas such as string theor ..."

integral quantizations, coupling to matter, extensions to supergravity and higher dimensional theories, as well as applications to black holes, cosmology and Plank scale phenomenology. We describe the near term prospects for observational tests of quantum theories of gravity and the expectations that loop
Some properties of Noether charge and a proposal for dynamical black hole entropy
- Phys. Rev
, 1994
"... We consider a general, classical theory of gravity with arbitrary matter fields in n dimensions, arising from a diffeomorphism invariant Lagrangian, L. We first show that L always can be written in a “manifestly covariant ” form. We then show that the symplectic potential current (n − 1)-form, Θ, an ..."

this formula for the Noether charge, we prove that the first law of black hole mechanics holds for arbitrary perturbations of a stationary black hole. (For higher derivative theories, previous arguments had established this law only for stationary perturbations.) Finally, we propose a local, geometrical
Black Hole Entropy Function, Attractors and Precision Counting of Microstates
, 2007

We also describe precise computation of the microscopic degeneracy of a class of quarter BPS dyons in N = 4 supersymmetric strin ..."

AdS3 Black Holes and a Stringy Exclusion Principle
, 1998
"... The duality relating near-horizon microstates of black holes obtained as orbifolds of a subset of AdS3 to the states of a conformal field theory is analyzed in detail. The SL(2, R)L ⊗ SL(2, R)R invariant vacuum on AdS3 corresponds to the NS-NS vacuum of the conformal field theory. The effect of the ..."
