On progress in constructing explicit solutions in inverse scattering theory
Abstract: Inverse scattering theory is a final step of the well known inverse scattering transform method. It does not represent difficulties in 1+1 models but becomes much more complicated for 1+2 models.
Cosmic Structures in Brans-Dicke like theories
Phase-Space Noncommutativity: From Gravity to Quantum Mechanics.
Abstract: A phase-space noncommutativity (NC) is considered in the context of a Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model. Then, the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole is analyzed.
Localized configurations formed by a real scalar field
Abstract: In general relativity a single massive real scalar field can form long living stable oscillating localized configurations, which are generally called oscillatons. These objects are quite similar to the well known boson stars.
Superradiance in static black hole spacetimes
Shadows of hairy black holes in Physical Review Letters
The paper "Shadows of Kerr black holes with scalar hair" by P. Cunha, C. Herdeiro, E. Radu and H. Rúnarsson has been accepted in Physical Review Letters. This work shows Kerr black holes with scalar hair can exhibit new types of shadows in black hole physics. Observing black hole shadows is the primary target of the Event Horizon Telescope.
Gr@v RISEs
Gr@v is a partner of the recently approved "Strong Gravity and High Energy Physics" Marie Curie RISE (Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) action, within the Horizon 2020 European framework. This network has a lifetime of 4 years, starting in Jan 2016 and connects 8 nodes in 7 countries, being coordinated by Prof. Ulrich Sperhake and Cambridge University.
Entanglement Entropy of the Klebanov-Strassler model with dynamical flavors
Abstract: I will present a detailed study of the Entanglement Entropy for the confining Klebanov-Strassler background coupled to a large number of dynamical flavors.
V NRHEP network meeting in Belém, Brazil
The V global meeting of the Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics Marie Curie IRSES action, took place in Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, Brazil, from 28 September -2 October 2015.
Thank you Luis Carlos Crispino for the stimulating meeting in the beautiful Amazonia.
