Phase boundaries and the Widom line from the Ruppeiner geometry of fluids

We discover a new induced metric from the Ruppeiner thermodynamic geometry of fluids to better construct their phase boundaries and Widom line.

Electromagnetic quasinormal modes of Schwarzschild–anti–de Sitter black holes: Bifurcations, spectral similarity, and exact solutions in the large black hole limit

We discover and exploit a new asymptotic symmetry in the electromagnetic quasinormal mode spectrum of an asymptotically anti–de Sitter Schwarzschild black hole.

Weak gravitational lensing by two-power-law densities using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem

We extend the Gauss-Bonnet method for computing gravitational lensing to canonical galactic mass distributions, and in this context, study the role played by topology in lensing.

Overcharging higher-dimensional black holes with point particles

We investigate the theoretical possibility of destroying black holes by throwing in point particles (à la Hubeny), and find that this gets easier in higher dimensions.

Self-Consistent Orbital Evolution of a Particle around a Schwarzschild Black Hole

We use numerical relativity codes to model the infall of a point scalar charge down to a non-rotating black hole, including self-force effects.
